Let the candidate speak for themself. Your terms of debate do not give the candidate time to speak to the issues that they feel are important to our country at this time. Thank you. by October 7, 2008 12:39 PM PDT A great debate would recognize that the American people want to hear what each candidate will do to fix the economy, Iraq et al. We don't want to hear allegations and refutation. We don't want personal attacks. We want to know what the candidates plan to do in office, and how that candidate proposes to achieve his objectives, so we can make sound judgements. McCain/Palin's latest attacks against Obama feel like that same ole' republicans.... believing that once again, their fear tactics will force the American people to vote their way. Their character assassination and accusations are desperate measures from desperate politicians? It's dýjý vu - exactly how Bush won; invoking fear and trepidation into the American people. I would hope McCain would stick to the enormous issues this country is facing, but alas, since he is not winning and can not win on his own value, I predict he will resort to the "ugly" politics. Processing by October 7, 2008 1:36 PM PDT I would like the candidates to be asked why they voted for the bailout plan so quickly. Why the overwhelming distrust of the American people toward this package was overlooked. The events of the past week remind me of the weeks before the war in Iraq started: Majority of the people against the war; tactics of fear and urgency that contaminated the national mood; the invulnerability of the people who are either responsible for the current crisis or should and never saw it coming. Processing by October 7, 2008 3:07 PM PDT The candidates are going to say what they think people want to hear in order to get elected. Why anyone would take these debates seriously is a mystery to me! Processing by October 7, 2008 3:44 PM PDT I'm surprised no one has asked the candidates during the debates -- and that neither Joe Biden nor Barack Obama has thought to bring it up, either during the debates or in any other forum -- about the obvious connection between the out-of-control spending on the war in Iraq and the recent economic crisis, which is being compared to the Great Depression of 1929. The close occurrence in time of these two events cannot possibly be a coincidence. Did anyone else wonder, years ago, how long it would be before the war in Iraq began to dramatically affect the American economy? Well, it finally has, and no one is talking about it! Why? It can't be because it can't be proven since many other allegations have been made during this campaign which could not be proven, either. Granted, it is an awful accusation to level against the Bush White House and the Republicans, but this is not the time to play nice! Processing by October 7, 2008 5:51 PM PDT As an undecided voter, I look forward to this debate. I'd appreciate any help anyone could offer with judging the candidates on these criteria: http://www.unfuse.com/decisions/79-Presidential-Debate-2-Obama-Vs-McCain/finalize Processing by October 7, 2008 6:08 PM PDT The American people have forgotten what made us a great nation.We have the choice to make something of ourselves, or become fat on welfare. The difference between the two is pride. We have been lazy and allowed others to have what they haven't worked for. Parents have decided to stop raising their children because it is too hard. People live outside their income and then cry when the toys they can't afford are taken away from them. Adults need to start acting like adults. Columbine could have been prevented by people raising their children to respect themselves and each other, but instead we blame guns for the tragedy that happened. People need to start having personal accountability, and teach their children the same. Processing by October 7, 2008 6:22 PM PDT Here is a novel idea - perhaps the candidates could actually talk about what they can realistically accomplish while in office not just throw around cliches and alleged promises just to woo voters. Just a thought. Processing by October 7, 2008 6:55 PM PDT How do you plan to stop the coffers, Pharmaceutical, tobacco, Oil etc. interfering with lawmakers? Processing by October 7, 2008 7:02 PM PDT WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHO IS GOING TO POLICE THE BILLIONS BAIL-OUT - THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM FOR ME TODAY - SO FAR I HAVE SEEN NOTHING TO INDICATE THAT GOVERNMENT IS DOING ANYTHING TO DO THIS Processing by October 7, 2008 7:15 PM PDT The biggest question I have as a construction worker is why neither candidate will submit a plan to deport all illegal aliens. The bulk of the non union construction companies employ illegals who can not speak English and work for a much lower wage and greatly reduce the quality of life for the workers who have been the mainstay of our economy for years. That is the biggest way to help the middle class not tax cuts because the loss of wages is already cutting our taxes.

Prepared comments are not the same as dealing spontaneously to a crisis. The president has some great responsibilies - keeping young men and women out of harms way, making it possible for the common American to understand complicated matters facing our nation like the financial crisis and the bailout. How will these men meet these objectives? From how little a voter can gather from all of this, I would think Barack Obama came across as the stronger, more sure leader - marginally. Processing by October 7, 2008 7:59 PM PDT Who is gonna do what for me??? Nice to see America is riddled with greed from top to bottom. Go get a job! Figure out what you can do for yourself. (What would JFK say?) This country is all about helping out those who don't have what others have. How is that democracy or capitalism? Our country is one of opportunity. Taking chances on being a success is what it's all about. Sometimes people fail. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back to your dream. The worst thing about these debates is listening to the idiotic press's analysis. Do they NOT hear what is being said? Do they hear themselves? I can't believe Obama is ahead in the polls. Anyone who believes he can change anything, is a fool. What every country needs is a manipulator in charge. We need a piece of America to lead this country, not some holier than thou poster boy. ("I've been through this and that... blah, blah, blah.) Big deal. If any voter actually put some thought into it, we've all been through hard times... some are going through them now. John McCain is who he is. He isn't a maverick or anyone special. He's just like an average dreaming American. He will make mistakes and admit to it. My family is struggling to get by. But I don't ask what either of these guys can do for me. I want to know how they will manage and lead this country. I'll do my job and try to stay afloat. NOW GO OUT THERE AND USE YOUR TURN SIGNALS!! Have some courtesy for your fellow American. This country starts with you. by October 7, 2008 8:23 PM PDT I'd run for President, but America doesn't want the truth. by October 7, 2008 8:26 PM PDT McCain seems more like an independant than a republican, and that became a lot more obvious to me in tonights debate. If he voted the same as President Bush almost all of the time, why is he making so many comments against him now? There are a lot of people that voted for Bush that think like him strongly support him. If McCain wants the Republican vote for president, he shouldn't be stabbing leaders of the Republican Party in the back.
