Wow. That is about all I can say about the debate tonight. If this did not give the most credible evidence that the MSM is in the Obama camp, then I don't know what other evidence there is to be had. It was an absolute bore of a debate. Tom Brokaw should go out and bury his head in the sand. He was absolutely horrible tonight.
I wanted to see something different than the first debate. However, the democrats, including Tom Brokaw, knew that this format favored McCain. Tom Brokaw was the one that screened the questions and he did a very poor job. He posed questions to the candidates that were well within Obama's comfort zone. This was done on purpose and with ill intent towards McCain. Tom Brokaw needs to go the way of Dan Rather.
We heard nothing but the same thing that we have been hearing for several weeks now. We heard about the economy and taxes, we heard about foreign policy and the war in Iraq. However, we did not hear anything new until the last two questions. The first one was regarding the actions of the candidates if Iran attacked Israel and if the candidates would come to its defense or wait for UN Security Counsel approval. The last one was "what don't you know and how are you going to learn it"? It became clear that Obama was not going to answer the questions. He did this all night. If you go back and look at this debate, how often did Obama look back to George Bush? Sadly, this has been winning with the ignorant voters of this country.
When the Israeli question was asked, McCain came right out and stated that he would not wait for a UN resolution but would defend Israel. He went on to explain his answer fully. However, when Obama came up, he talked about not letting Iran get a nuclear weapon in the first place. He talked about how he was going to pressure Iran with sanctions....yeah, like China and Russia would allow that. Does he forget that Russia and China have Security Council veto power? The best thing we could do is get out of the UN. He never answered the question and it was painfully obvious that he was not going to answer it. The last question was one that did not belong in the debate at all. It was a silly question and one that just allowed Obama to go back to his roots and spew his same old stuff. Again, look under his words for underneath there is nothing of substance. McCain gave the best answer of the night on the last question. It was good. He said he does not know what is coming down the road for America but it was important to have someone with experience leading when the unexpected happens.
Also, if you listened closely, you should have seen that Obama wants to spend so much of our money overseas. Obama is the one that keeps telling us how we are spending ten billion dollars a month in Iraq. But if you listened to his answers about genocide and about Georgia, you heard it again. He spoke about how we could institute a no fly zone and how it would not cost us very much. He said that we had to give more than moral support to Georgia but we had to give them financial support. With the 700 billion dollar bailout bill, the one trillion dollars of new government entitlement programs he wants to pay for, the billions to be spent on universal health care, where in the world is he going to get the money for these things? Obama will raise our taxes to the highest level since Jimmy Carter. He will stagnate the growth of the economy and especially small business. Obama will take more of our money and will begin to tax our pension funds even before we retire.
My worst fear has been realized. I am actually afraid for our country. It is astounding to me that Americans cannot see that Obama is a Fascist and a Muslim (It should be noted that I don't believe that all Muslims are bad or that the religion itself is bad for religion, in itself, is neither good nor evil. In fact, the majority of Muslims are good people. But, when I speak about Muslims in this context, I speak of the terrorists and those that hate American for which I beleive Obama is one since he hates this country as it exists today). Obama believes that the people and their assets belong to the state and for the good of the state. American stands for the proposition that the states is there for the good of the people. He will begin to take more personal property and will begin to institute a socialist economy. My fear is real and it will be realized.
Just think of the situation. America will have a democratic president and Congress will be controlled by democrats. Congress will give to Obama whatever he wants. Not even the members of his own party will stand up to him like McCain has done with the republican presidents. They will raise our taxes without a thought. Obama will give the military over the UN and to be used by the UN for whatever purpose it wants. This will cause a mass exodus from the military which is what Obama wants.
I am sure that most of the people know the story of the Trojan Horse. This is where Sparta placed its soldiers in the large Horse outside the walls of Troy. With the rest of the army out of sight, the people of Troy brought the horse inside the walls. When this was done, the soldiers inside the horse came out and conquered Troy. The reason that the Spartans left the Trojan Horse is because the Spartans were not going to beat Troy on the field of battle and could not get inside the walls of the city. It is clear from Iraq that the terrorists cannot beat the United States Military on the field of battle. Therefore, they have to beat us from within and they are doing it. There is no better way to break the U.S. economy than with high oil prices and high gas prices. The largest oil producing countries are Muslim and hate America. With the economy crashing, there are no worries, with the ignorance of the American people, that they could get a Muslim elected president despite 9/11. It is happening before our eyes but we are too ignorant to notice because of the MSM and the big money spenders on Obama. Obama will change this country as we know it...always for the worse.
The other statement that I can't stand is Obama saying that Bush took his eyes off the target - Bin Laden. Obama believes that the war on terrorism should have started with the hunt for Bin Laden and ended with his being killed. Bin Laden is such a small player in the overall war on terror. Obama does not know one of the basic rules of war....if you have the enemy neutralized, then that is as good as them being dead (case in point, Grant's seige of Vicksburg in June-July 1863). Bin Laden has not been able to attack this country in 7 years. He has come out with some taped statements but as an effective organizer he is dead...he has been neutralized. There is no need to keep going after him for Bin Laden as a threat is no more. However, there were terrorist cells in Iraq that wanted American citizens dead and were willing to die trying to kill us. They too have effectively been destroyed.
Obama will bring our soldiers home in defeat and with shame. All those brave men and women that have died for us will have died in vain. There are many U.S. soldiers that are still fighting the Vietnam War because of the brutality of the war as well as how they were treated when they got home. I wanted to throw-up when Obama got up and told the person who asked the Israeli question that he "honored his service." Obama hates the U.S. military and the Americans are going to put this person in charge of them. If anyone knows any kind of military history, it is that an Army, a corps, a division, a brigade, a regiment, a company, a platoon, a squad, and the individual soldier always fights better when they have confidence in their commander. Read about the men in Patton's Third Army in WWII or read about the Union Soldiers when McClellan was commander and then Burnside took over in November of 1862 just before Fredericksburg, or read about how the Confederate soldier fought against overwhelming odds under General Lee - Chancellorsville for instance. If the men do not have a commander they have confidence in, then the fighting ability will be lost. This will happen with Obama because he hates our military....remember he said that our military was killing innocent civilians and air-raiding villages. These are not statements that a commander-in-chief says about an Army that he loves and respects.
It is a sad day for America for I believe McCain lost the election tonight. My fears will be realized on November 4 but I feel the effects of those fears in my stomach right now. We should all be very afraid of where this country will be in the next couple years......very afraid indeed........
