Debates Are For Suckers

CRUNCH TIME FOR THE JEWISH COMMUNITY

The 2008 Presidential election is a just four days away. The time for blind advocacy is over. A recently discovered video places Barack Obama at a dinner, toasting former PLO leader, Rashid Khalidi. Under Yasser Arafat, the PLO pushed for the destruction of Israel. Jews have a choice, stand with the Democrats or stand with Israel.

Jews suffered more than two millennia to have a land of their own.

Iranian leaders hate Israel and want to destroy it.

Iran has possibly 4,000 centrifuges in operation, developing nuclear fuel.

If Iranian loonies launch a “gift” for Tel Aviv, it will be the Final Exodus.

The United States is the only country on the planet with the will and the means to protect Israel.

Finally, and most important, ‘‘I will stand with them (Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’’ Quote by Barack Obama: From Audacity of Hope. p 261

Jews must make a choice, there is no voting “present.”

The debates showed us that Obama is way more Presidential than McCain, no matter what the format. He is eloquent and very intelligent. He will be a great world leader. As far as the university professor that the above writer claims is a PLO leader, why is it that McCain gave the guy over $4000? McCain has more ties to that guy than Obama. Why do the Republicans keep picking on university professors in American universities? Can't they find any real terrorists to link their opponents to?

When the debate format was taken from the League of Women Voters ...we have not had debates!!!
Town halls are for the elected politicans--not for candidates...Stupid concept to benefit Mccain...

Hey Neo-Conservatives.....how's that "crow" tasting right about now? Obama/Biden '08

B. Hussein would have been lost w/o his teleprompter if there was a true townhall type debate. If you saw the first, you saw them all. Had to be with all the mediators be left wing Obama supporting numbnuts with no difficult ?'s. Same ?'s and answers in every debate. Disappointing to say the least. We know no more about this empty suit then we did 20 mos. ago. If selected, (B. Hussein wins = no election fraud, if he loses = election fraud and rioting, what a joke)he will be the downfall of this great country. Period.

When Brokaw gets to choose 14 questions out of 86 and 6 out of 100,000, he essentially got to ask what he wanted. And there were no follow-ups.

Not a debate of any kind, much less a real townhall one.

agreed

There were too many rules and too little time. I would have enjoyed a less civilized get down to it ...do you or don't you ..type of debate. Some topics need more time than others. I don't think they changed anybody's mind.

Polls are too close to call. I find that amazing considering Obama has had a half a billion dollars.

Texas early voting McCain 58% Obama 28%

Calif holding a 1000 vote difference

Maybe the smear...fear...and clear campaign underestimated the desire most Americans have to stay self-reliant.

What exactly is looking Presidential? Is there some stereotype or profile that fits the job? Obama is no more presidential than McCain. The difference is with Obama we'll be the laughing stock of the world, and Isreal will be at the mercy of a bunch of Arab wack jobs.

Hurrah! As Florida goes, so goes the nation! And if the Khalidi tape withheld by the Los Angeles Times is released, no Jews will ever vote for Obama. Call the numbers listed below and demand release of that tape!

The election is hours away and the American people have a right to know what is contained on the Obama Tape before the election. The issue of what is contained on the Obama Tape can only be resolved by releasing the tape, or a transcript of the tape.

How could a Jew vote for Obama? It's quite plain that if Obama becomes President, Israel will be history. After all, the Hamas, which routinely attacks Israel, and Iran have endorsed Obama for a reason. Iran last week said their endorsement of Obama is for the reason that he is "flexible." He's "flexible" enough to sell the soul of Israel.

Taking a dangerous chance is exactly what Americans would be doing in electing Obama, and it's a chance we can't afford to take! On no basis does Obama deserve the Presidency! Look at his lack of experience! Look at his extremely questionable associates! Look at his self-described history of drug and alcohol abuse (in his autobiography _Dreams from My Father_)!

Obama has exactly three years of experience on the national level in the Senate with eight years in the Illinois Legislature before that. In years, his experience is about equal to that of Sarah Palin, but he has none of her executive experience. He has never "run" anything, yet he is running for the Presidency, not the Vice Presidency as Palin is. After his 2004 Convention address, he was videotaped making a statement to the effect that some people will run for the Presidency whether they are ready or not but "I'm not one of those people." Well, obviously he changed his mind and became one of those people. He is an upstart who was a totally unknown figure five years ago.

However, the really frightening aspect of a possible Obama Presidency is the multitude of criminals, terrorists, and other radicals with whom he has associated. If his only questionable associate were the terrorist Ayers, for and with whom he worked, I might consider the Ayers association just a one time example of bad judgment. But there is a pattern of Obama association with all sorts of anti-American racists and downright criminals like Rezko, now in federal prison, the friend who helped Obama buy his 1.6 million mansion. Then there's the issue of his support for the anti-American Pastor Wright by sitting in that racist church for 20 years and listening to Wright imploring God to "damn" America. Obama has been endorsed by Iran, the Hamas, and many other world terrorists. His short career is characterized by shady deals, terrorist endorsements, and friendships with criminals, not just one but many, too many. At the very least his involvement with such a number of shady characters is poor judgment on his part. Poor judgment we don't need in a President! Any American who would vote for such a suspicious character as Obama has to be either insane or uninformed.

In addition, although he ostensibly has now "reformed," Obama has a long history of drug and alcohol abuse. If you don't believe this, just read about it in his own words in his books. He was a very mediocre student at the la-di-da school he attended because of his pot smoking, cocaine use, and alcohol abuse. He describes walking into a class late after a lunch time of pot smoking and beer drinking, daring the teacher to notice and to comment. He also describes the nauseating scene in which he and his friends awakened after a weekend of binge drinking on a hallway floor, lying in vomit and excrement. Now this sounds like a really good example for America's youth! From Obama they learn that they can drink and drug their way through school, getting mediocre grades, and then be nominated for the Presidency. That's just a great concept, isn't it? And do we have a guarantee that Obama has stopped using drugs? How do we know that he has really beaten his serious addiction?

With a past like Obama's, he is one candidate who is not appropriate material for the Presidency. The real gamble in electing him would be not if he would destroy this country but when. It's time to wake up and smell the noxious fumes exuding from the rancid past of this fraud. Read and get informed, people. The time is short, and you will have to live for a long time with the results of your uninformed vote. (That is, unless you're one of the live birth babies who would be killed according to his policies. How long will it be before he will extend his disregard for the value of human life to the elderly and the infirm? Can euthanasia be far behind in an Obama Presidency?) I can't believe that the majority of Americans are insane enough to vote this menace into the Presidency.

Debates are only of use to people too lazy or clueless to actually research a candidate's position. The same could be said for 1/2 hour infomercials.

I suggest that next time around we have the candidates strut down a catwalk, each looking as presidential as possible while a prerecorded voiceover of their positions (no big words, please!) plays over a music bed supplied by the DJ of his or her choice.

The US schools failed these young,undisciplined,stupid Americans who do not know how to look back at US history,the great depression, WW 1,WW 2 and the defeat of the communists in the cold war. These young Americans don't understand that our lives and homeland will be at risk if Obama wins.During the cold war the communists invaded countries to spread communism. The communists however are atheists and afraid to die. With the worldwide rise of islamic fanaticism it is far more dangerous. To spread Islam these fanatics are not afraid to die to become martyrs and would gladly kill as many infidels as they can by suicide bombings,the 9/11 Al-Qaeda terrorists who crashed commercial jetliners and massacred than 3,000 innocent American civilians .Obama does not understand this. If he pulls out our troopss abroad there will be more islamic terrorist attacks on the US homeland.He is naive in thinking that talking with islamic terrorist without preconditons will just stop them from killing infidels.When he is president I hope he will go talk with the islamic fanatic terrorists and pray that he comes back with his head still attached to his neck.Also if Obama raises taxes in a recession it will become a depression . I hope we learn from history and not repeat the same mistake.

I think that what America calls debates are nothing more than propaganda speeches that ultimately offer no solutions and no direct answers.

If they were REAL debates they'd do it like they do it in England...free form in your face and in a town hall type format with regular citizens asking regular questions.
