It's the official last Presidential Debate thread!

Ireland’s not doing so well, now, so that 11% corporate tax isn’t helping them. And wasn’t there a report saying that this notion that US corporations pay the second highest tax in the world ignored all the tax breaks and incentives the corporations ALSO get?

It’s okay, the audience is laughing inside their heads, very quietly. It’s just not funny enough to break through to the outside yet.

Huh? I just want to get back to home ownership?

Joe the Plumber & Joe Six-Pack are heterosexual life partners. :smiley:

During the depression era, when I was in college…

Wait, what? How does increasing home values increase wealth?

I’m biased too but it always seems to me that McCain is doing better than Obama. And I like the ‘look’ much, much better than all the ‘ah, ah’ s he used to do.

What does home ownership have to do with energy? Ah-- thank you moderator.

During the depression, we had a thing we called the “home ownership bucket”. And we would put a nickel in the bucket, which Senator Obama opposed. Second- Third of all, I would hatchet that bucket with a scalpel!

Obama needs to whip out a little JFK. I’m getting flashbacks to Economics 101, which was at 8:00 AM Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, none of which were particularly good times for a wild little 18 year old to pay attention to … but I digress.

Jesus–we’re talking about the Depression? Of course, John remembers the the Big D…

He’s off on talking points–ANSWER the question, John!

What could he be writing down? Hatchets and scalpels? Why not a chainsaw?

Answer the question John… Why do these countries “not like us very much”?

Yeah, a hatchet, then a scalpel! And also, McCain knows a lot of things!

This “cross the board spending freeze” seems to be at odds with all this spending. Does it include the war? Senatorial benefits?

Drinking game suggestion:

Every time McCain says “I know how…”

Any others?

AGAIN with the overhead projector? This is surreal.
It’s not fun to watch a man self-destruct. God help McCain.

I wish Obama would call McCain out on his own pork barrel pet projects.

McC seems to think if Palin can get away with ignoring the question he can too.

We’re sending money to people who don’t like us very much … strange sense of deja vu, there.

OO!! details? some actual details?

No, he’s back to saying he knows how to save billions. sigh

I can’t stand McCain’s smirk.
