no sound after 6:15

[MiscVideos78rpm]

@vaibhavbamne0 - Someone already said that.  Please read my response.

[bluecollarlit]

(I wish the sound was LOUDER on this -- on the speakers I have access to, I can hardly hear it) -- BUT, not criticizing, THANKING person who put this up. THANK YOU, what a treat.

[MiscVideos78rpm]

@bluecollarlit - First off, sorry about the sound. I know it is kind of quiet and the background noise is kind of overpowering the sound. Are you sure the sound on the computer is turned up to "100." If you listen to it through headphones, there may be a volume control on the headphones which you can turn all the way up. Second, you're very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) However, you don't have to speak to me in the third-person. I'm right here. :) Thanks.

no sound after 6:15? confirmation please

[MiscVideos78rpm]

@YukoCute After 6:15 there is only mono sound. Is one of your speakers not working?

[Shane112095]

I am watching this debate in 2012 and see clearly that the problem here in the United States is all elected officials or big ass kissers. We have moved to slavery and we are falling. I truly hope that Obama or the next President take a firm stand for the people and not for corporations which have been the down fall of America

[sbookerthegreat]

Back in the day when debates were civil.

[iamthe1337est]

None of the current Republicans come close to approaching the level of eloquence that both these men possess.

[TheMaxx111]

Nixon did not do well here.

[Sistarovat]

The reason why the debate was so civil is because politics were civil in those days. Why? Because this was before Black Power, before the unconstitutional Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, before the welfare state the Democratic Party had been dreaming of for four decades became a reality under LBJ, and before we got our butts kicked in Vietnam, before the Supreme Court banned prayer and legalized abortion, and before hippies took their filth out of the classroom and into the street.

@jvolcano89 I suppose even the "best and brightest" have brain farts every now and then.

[Tomer1776]

@jvolcano89 With one difference: The accusation against Palin was a fabrication.

[Bystander81]

I don't understand why people said Nixon looked so bad during these debates. He doesn't look any better or worse than Kennedy. (I mean physically, not "look like" as in to judge what he's saying).
