a just world.

just like bush and mccain are trying to do by dropping bombs on humans.

i will take obama.

McCain lost. I am a republican, and I can admit that Obama won this one. McCain came across as old, out of touch, and had trouble staying on point. He used far too many personal stories that hardly related to the subject at hand. I have never been more disappointed in my political party as I am now. Next week is only going to be worse, Palin will only let us republicans down some more.

Hear hear! He "flip-flops" (I really hate that word and its use in 2008). He used to be a "Maverick", but really. He votes alongside bush 90% or more (depending on which year you look at), denies it on msnbc, is proud about it on fox.

He's against Off-shore drilling, all of a sudden, is hardcore-for it.

He's against torture (probably because he experienced it?), and then says tortures OK when it becomes an interest of the media.

Get real McCain.

Kissinger was one of the 5 guests on that event, that's the event Obama's quoting, and Obama's quoting him correctly. I saw Kissinger say what Obama said he said LIVE.

I'd say Live TV beats a phone call to Fox, AFTER there's been media exposure about it.

I read the transcript after the I saw the Pres. Debate, and sure enough, my ears had heard correctly when I saw the CNN debate (w/ Kissinger) Live. My memory was correct (& Obama was aswell).

All 5 guests on the CNN Live debate agreed w/ Obama

SO? CNN is now running for President? Obama quoted Kissinger not just incorrectly, HE LIED ABOUT WHAT KISSINGER SAID.

[Myschly]

One problem, I saw what Obama's talking about, the CNN Live Event "Next President: A World of Challenges", and Obama's on the money on this one. McCain and Kissingers later statement do NOT remind me of anything anyone said on the CNN Live Event.

[JonDavid1224]

Please don't put words in my mouth! McCain isn't the little "gee friends" cornball that he tries to make himself out to be. He isn't any better than Bush. He's almost worse because he is bending his ideals toward what the Republican party wants. He was much better in 2000. Bring back 200 John McCain and I would be happy.

[dieselscience]

Obama caught in ANOTHER LIE!

The point made McCain livid, as he repeatedly pointed out that Kissinger, his friend of 35 years, would never back such a dangerous position.

McCain turned out to be right.

Kissinger released a statement immediately after the debate. It read:

"Sen. McCain is right. I would not recommend the next president of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the presidential level."

[JonDavid1224]

I'm a Republican. I may not be for much longer.

Trust but verify...RELEASE YOUR HEALTH RECORDS, DEAR POTENTIAL LEADER...
