You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right. It doesn't and this book spells out WHY.

We'd really like to have you comment on our site! We want good conversation, no abuse and no trolls. I reserve the right to ban anybody who wilfully and persistently breaks these rules. So go ahead and speak your mind!

Obama is a marxist that will destroy the economy even further while putting us in danger of attack.
McCain is a traitor to the constitution and a lunatic hopefully he won't follow his family pattern and live to 90 and we wind up with President Palin.
So Troll, shall I put you down as a Nader voter then?
And the Magnificent Troll (who can cook) weighs in first..............;-)
Obama will make the world look up to America again.
Rather than curse it, because of Bush,& neo-con retards.
Great graphic! (and headline) fits my mood.
Percy, you're obviously intelligent, can't you stop being so jingoistically ignorant for more than five minutes? Talking with you might be fun if you laid down your arms.
Interesting take Troll, since you've advocated McCain's election are you promoting treason?
Damned lawyer logic!
Shall we all declare the winner now or should we go through the whole rigmarole of pretending to approach it objectively?
Has there ever been a case where one of these debates altered the course of an election?
I suggest we all fling a lot of crap in wild directions, make it fun.
Frank, pundits often talk about the impact of that famous Nixon-Kennedy debate, which given the closeness of the vote in 1960 may have been important.
Gerald Ford's declaration that there was no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe might have undermined his national security credentials in 1976 and tipped another close election in Jimmy Carter's favour.
Ross is correct. The oft told story is folks who heard Nixon-Kennedy on the radio thought Nixon won and folks who wathced it thought JFK won. Unless there is a complete meltdown by one or the other tonight, I don't see a decisive debate here.
When is the debate? !/2 hour? And does anyone know which channel in the State? --cooking dinner no time to google
pasta with vodka cream sauce
cajun shrimp kebabs
pinot grigio
burger meat for the dogs
And according to Wikipedia, the 1980 race had been very tight up until the "There you go again" debate.

Obama, populist crapola yadadadadada.
Obama starts negative. Bush in 1st sentence.
Mc starts positive.
McCain - Alan's shirt is very orange.
Oh my God, McCain sounds like an idiot too.
Popped the the populist cherry on buying out deadbeats who bought houses they couldn't afford.
Well, my friends, McCain is wandering around there like he's lost something.
Kick Paulson to the curb!!!
I like ebay!
I like Buffet!
Blame everyone but congress!!
O, answer the question who for Tres. Sec!
Question 1.
Obama, smooth and composed, talking populist nonsense of course.
McCain, sincere and sirect, talking populist nonsense of course.
As if Warren Buffett would take the pay cut to be treasury secretary.
Oh here comes the shit parade, grab your umbrellas.
Oliver's gettin's BSed
Ross, he sounds like a mongolo.
BS from both!
Populist crap on the financial bailout from McCain.
Obama sounding rational on this issue. Then he lies.
We are so fucked.
Are there any Deregulations in particular that Obama has in mind?
"Populist crap on the financial bailout from McCain."
Yep.
We need straight talk that the economy IS going to get worse.
You go Theresa! Southern belle.
O is dropping his g's, cuz he's in Nashville?
Good question from the old lady.
Obama - what about the war costs ?He's going to spend money? Who's? Is he going to fucking print it?
Net spending cut? What a load of bull
Both candidates refer to the questioner as being "cynical"? It's as though it's her fault for not trusting her. The word they are looking for is "scepticism".
McCain does well on answering Theresa.
Agreed Ross.
McCain -yadyadyadyaadyadyadada.
Bite me McCain can we talk about real shit, I'm not a five year old.
More talking point bullshit.
M gets real on entitlements. Most pols wouldn't have the guts.
This is a real snoozer. If McCain is going to take the gloves off it will be after everyone's nodded off.
