Final Presidential Debate, Joe the Plumber and Yarddog

Who the hell is Joe the Plumber and who cares ... and then there is this .. check it out!

Obama kept his cool even when attacked about that ridiculous William Ayres and the Acorn business ... It simply didn't take ... McCain made the extreme right wing happy by bring up ancient history; Obama keep to the future and caring about how he can fix things ..

Best moment? When Obama listed the people who were advising him.

Worst moment? When McCain tried to explain why Palin was qualified ...

Obama won on points; McCain won on the negativity.CBS says it was a sweep. "The truth is that his (McCain) choices say more about his campaign than they do about me." Obama

MCCAIN, PALIN AND POLITICAL INTOLERANCE ..

Years and years of political character assassinations, lies and distortions has breed a huge segment of the American public that is now reacting in ignorance and fear to an Obama Presidency. Witness the ugly public behavior at the forefront of McCain/Palin campaign rallies.

People are shouting the most horrific things, “Hang him.” “Shoot him.” “Treason!" "Terrorist!" "Kill him!" in reference to Senator Obama. Even when McCain tries to bring reason to chaos, he is taunted with boos! There is no common sense or decency.

Four generations of Republican Party leaders have made rank appeals to our worst natures and preached intolerance, bigotry and hatred ... anything to win. They have sowed those seeds and now America will suffer the whirlwind.

MCCAIN DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE PRESIDENT ...

New services reported today that crowds at, "Palin and McCain Rallies Call Obama 'Terrorist;' Shout 'Kill Him'." Read it here.

Palin and McCain allow hate speech to happen by utilizing language that gives people a "freedom" to say hateful things. This isn't the first time that Senator McCain's has created an atmosphere of hate. During an early campaign stop he was confronted with the question, "How do we beat the B****?" referring to Hilary Clinton. I wrote here at the time that McCain’s non-response to that ugly comment did not bode well for the up-coming general election ... I never realized how low they and the Republican party would go to be elected.

Mr. McCain does not deserve to be president; no one deserves to be president that would even indirectly condone that kind of behavior.

John McCain’s policy positions

John McCain’s policy positions and voting records have been dismally homophobic. He has opposed every single gay rights measure of recent years. He opposes same-sex marriage, supports the Defense of Marriage Act, and — contrary to the “let the states decide” mantra of more moderate Republicans — has endorsed the California ballot initiative that would overturn the existing right for same-sex couples to marry. In fact, he’s even more extreme than that — he opposes any sort of recognition for same-sex partnerships, actively campaigning for a ban on them in his home state of Arizona. He is opposed to gays serving in the military — even in wartime, when recruiting is down and the military is desperately understaffed — and supports the discriminatory “don’t ask/ don’t tell” policy. He fought and voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would have protected gays and lesbians from being fired for their sexual orientation.

And then add Sarah Palin to the mix and things only get worse ... how could anyone pick her to hold one of the second highest office in the land? And talk about homophobic ... her record in it's own way is equally dismal and she does it because "the Bible tells her so" What in the world has happened in the life of American Politics?

OKAY, MR. OBAMA BE SPECIFIC...

Listening to tonight's Presidential Debates reinforces one thing: I would never vote for Senator John McCain. He brings with him an old fashion view of life that is deeply rooted in the past. While that past maybe enormously important to my own personal history, it has little to do with confronting the times in which we live. I can not vote for a person who so clearly defines him by it nor, more importantly, could I support a Republican Party what so discredits the poor, the outcast and those left behind is "there" version of America.

The challenge for Mr. Obama then is: can you do "something" concrete for individuals and the day-to-day issues we deal with. No where in tonight's debate did I sense an understanding of our daily worries - ones centered about a lack of health care, investments that are now totally worthless and a retirement package that is long gone to Wall Street greed. Tell me, how will you specifically help us with each of those three things? That will make my day a better one?

YARDDOG LISTENS TO THE DEBATES

Listening to tonight's presidential debates reinforced one thing: I would never vote for Senator John McCain. He brings with him a bankrupt view of life that is deeply rooted in a past that while it may be enormously important to my personal history, has little or not value to confront the times in which we live. So I can not vote for a person who so clearly defines him by it nor could I support a Republican party what so discredits the poor, the outcast and those left behind is "there" version of America.

The challenge for Mr. Obama is: is there anything you do for individuals and the day-to-day issues we deal with. No where in tonight's debate did I sense an understanding of our daily worries - ones about lack of health care, investments that are now totally worthless and retirement package that is long gone to Wall Street greed. Tell me, how will you do to help me, not with platitudes of the past but our lives in the next four years?

IS THIS PAY BACK? NO, IT'S DISGUSTING

Senator John McCain has no one to blame,. including the New York Times, for the trouble he is in with reference to his alleged "affair" than the right wing religious party base he now seeks to bring back to the "fold." The extreme hyper awareness about sex, or anything related to it, is ridiculous.

But I'll be completely honest and say, seeing yet another Republican, rightly or wrongly, dealing with another public "sex issue" is nothing more than payback for the absurdity the Clinton "sex scandal."

All of this however is disgusting. DAMN IT!
