  • OK…. he just said during the debates that troops who have served in Iraq should come back here and TEACH our children WITHOUT having to pass TESTS! Ummm… you want to send people who have seen some SHIT and may be suffering from PTSD or something else… into a CLASSROOM… with people’s CHILDREN? No questions asked?

    I am proud to say that I know many brave MEN and WOMEN who have served our country and I am thankful that they have survived… and I am so sad that we have lost as many troops as we have… however… I do not want them going in with no training and no testing to be in charge of children. We have seen problems of teachers being abusive- mentally, verbally and sexually AFTER having passed those tests… I can just see so many things going wrong if this ever happened!

    To say the least… McCain is a fucking moron.

  • I totally agree with “woohoo”!!!

    McCain was rude and completely disrespectful to Obama and that made me so angry!

    I do wish Obama would have fired back a little more often..but he took the higher road..clearly higher than McCain and did not interrupt his opponent or grunt/ make stupid noises at every word his opponent said!

    I think everyone has seen the true side of McCain tonight.

    I obviously don’t need to try to convince people to vote for Barack anymore because anyone can see now who should be the next President.

  • THANK YOU, Jenn!!!! My God, his whole projected policy for education is whacked. Why don’t you just fix public schools so everyone doesn’t have to beg for your stupid vouchers?

  • > he just said during the debates that troops who have served in Iraq should come back here and TEACH our children WITHOUT having to pass TESTS!

    By “teach” he really means “brainwash”.

    Go America! Everyone loves to watch war footage.

  • Why did McCain talk about how Sarah Palin knows about autism? Did he mean to say Down’s syndrome?

    I tried to watch the debate with an open mind, I really did, but McCain seemed like a whiny,creepy, rude old guy who’d say anything to get elected. I can almost hear his handlers coaching him on his buzzwords right before he went on: “Joe the Plumber!! Cut taxes!! Pro-life!! Joe the Plumber!! School vouchers!!” And Obama just smiled while McCain laid it on thick, and then answered his questions calmly, intelligently, eloquently, and with a lot more credibility and substance than McCain.

    Oh please, we’ve had the smarmy dumb guy for eight years and look where it’s gotten us! Can we please have the smart guy win this time? I’m afraid for our future if we don’t.

    Plus, what was the deal with McCain’s nonstop eye-blinking during his closing statement? I think Gramps needed his eye medicine.

  • this whole “returning troops can be teachers & don’t need to be certified to teach” plan of mc cain’s….WTF? could he have been more vague? this may be the dumbest plan yet. other than giving us all 5,000 bucks for health insurance and then taxing it. what a dumbass. he needs to just go back to the rest home and finish his game of checkers before nappy time.

  • @ rightwing -and what the eff does religion have to do with this conversation??? Or politics? You don’t rule with religion -ass.
