Thank you Palin and Biden for making this a real debate. You both put forth your best foot and brought your A-game. This was competitive. ‘Twas also entertaining. Yay reality tv on CNN!!! 
Good job y’all (hehe). This debate was way better than the presidential one.
- Speaks with same tactics as Obama
- Sounds like McCain but is a better speaker
- Says McCain “is a good man, but…”
- Always prepared with facts, stats, and quotes (and dates) just as Obama was (and maybe more so)
- I don’t really need to say much for Biden because he says it all in his debating skills. Sorry if I don’t have as many notes on him as I do on Palin. I’m also sorry that I observe their debate form more than the content of the debate.
- Would rather cut taxes on mid class that cant afford it than big corps
- Mentions education–needs money because it is the thing that we need to boost the economy….well u get the point. Me and Roomie (my roomate) were talking about the education factor in America; we pretty much thought it was one (strong) venue America has for monetary income and if we lose that (if we don’t fund and improve our schools) then we will be further in debt and some place like China will snatch the educational scene.
- Accuses McCain and Palin’s ideas as being “unpatriotic”
- “Lemme just ask a rhetorical question?” (uhhhhh….why?)
- Admits that mortgage holders do pay the price
- Admits that he and Obama have disagreed on a point–brutally honest and it’s wonderful
- Palin and McCain don’t understand what the cause of climate change is …omg!! Why did McCain vote against alternative energy? OMG CHINA BURNS DIRTY COAL!!Grrrrr. I’m sorry China…but I DON’T like you!!!
- Same sex benefits: no difference in the constitution in viewing homos n heteros. ALL RIGHTS GIVEN TO US!!! Uhhh…then
- Biden thanks for clearing things up and not letting Palin trap you with her little divide and conquer tactics
- I love him [McCain,] but he has been dead wrong…I think I paraphrased him well enough…
- Lol he also brings up McCain’s ignorance by saying he wouldn’t even meet with Spain (who are our allies)
- How will McCain’s policies differ form Bush’s?
- Brings up Darfur. We should rally and be active in Darfur
- “our people”- hey I like that terminology
- McCain’s strategy has failed; his view of the war was completely incorrect
- Reinstating the middle class; serious tax breaks; energy policy that helps the economy and the environment; affordable healthcare; international policy; affordable college
- “they get it”!!! Thanks boo we DO get it! We’re not ignorant retards. We are politically involved intellectual citizens us middle classers
- Cheney has been the most dangerous vp in history
- Constitution defines the role of the vp!!oh, is this an issue of interpreting the Constitution?
- Basically says he AND Obama have done way more than McCain (politically) so inexperience is not a valid argument
- YESSSS!!!! SPEAK ON IT!!!!! Palin is not the only “soccer mom” running for VP position
- I love how he uses repetition. He uses this as a debate tactic.
- He disputes that McCain is a maverick.
- He stutters at times
- I like his smile
Biden
Palin
- Uses emotional approach like McCain (pathos)
- Plays on family
- She winked
- Better speaker than McCain
- Every statement begins with “John and I”
- I think she is using her sex appeal
- She’d like to respond…
- Country Bama
- She smiles a lot and looks at camera
- My roomate and I were talking about how Palin has community college hopped. Plus she has NO VOCABULRY!!
- She and McCain make up facts
- Also doesn’t answer questions
- Awwww following in daddy’s footsteps
- Why are McCain and Palin so ignorant about the country they plan to govern?
- Well, I’m glad her physical presentation is on point.
- Says her area of expertise is energy
- “How long have I been at this?….five weeks?”
- Put politics aside…and fix the economy?? Uhhh that is pretty political
- Her lack of intellectual vocabulary is disappointing
- Drilling is not safe!!It’s dumb. Natural Gases NOT OIL!!!
- “tolerant” “diverse family”- don’t like the terminology distant, falsified acceptance, masked homophobia if you ask me
- Don’t support gay marriage; marriage defined as man and woman
- WHY?? :’( u hurt my feelings *sniffle*
- Reference to Gen. Petraeus (aka Gen Betray us) just as McCain does
- Tries to play Biden and Obama against each other
- Takes views, quotes, and facts out of context–but at least she has more things to say that were worth listening too that McCain did
- Same view as Bush
- “Talibani”??–let’s try Taliban boo….
- Why the fukk (excuse my French) does she keep trying to portray Biden and Obama as two-faced. Like they are flaky with their answers?
- Ugh…Petrayus again…
- It’s dangerous to meet with “dangerous leaders” that “hate America” without preconditions. Isn’t that Obama’s prerogative though? ( I personally think maybe we should talk before we fight) we are the biggest bullies it’s cute though–it’s part of America’s personality
- “Wipe off the face of the Earth”!!lol. Uhh the hyperboles are critical
- OMG we need to assure Israel that they are never going to experience THE HOLOCAUST again. WTF?! What planet does she live in….I think she’s behind the times. Is she going to assure us that Blacks won’t experience slavery again?? Haha…thank you Palin.
- “The blame game”; reform of govn is coming…that’s nice to know–wants to make sure that govn is on the people’s side
- McCain is the maverick for putting “excessive partisanism” aside
- No one should have nuclear weapons except for us…basically this is what she just said
- Making opportunity there (sorry I didn’t catch whether she meant Afghanistan or Iraq). But how can we improve there economy when ours is on the decline. We’re in debt but we’re dishing money out to Iraq. Uhhh. How about we try doing all this in Africa or some other ally or neutral country first? How about we wait until our dollar matches the Euro before we donate money to another country’s cause. How about we help a country that wants to be helped before we force a country that is fighting against us to take our charity.
- Alaska is rich in natural resources according to Palin
- “He knows what evil is” [Palin says about McCain]
- She refers to McCain’s military expertise
- Get rid of the greed and corruption on wall street
- How the average working class family is thinking (which she is sadly mistaken because she thinks the avg workng class American is ignorant about the government and taxes)
- WAIT: shout out time!!!! Owwwwwww!!!
- “Founding fathers were wise in making vp position flexible”
- Why does she always agree but disagree with everything Biden says?
- With McCain everything is military; with Palin everything is energy
- Looks like a journalist…maybe she should’ve followed her degree in journalism and become a reporter…she actually comes across as a reporter at times
- Let me interrupt to introduce some of Palin’s favorite words: partisan, track record, maverick
- She also brings up Alaska at every chance she gets
- “tough questions” hehe
- She is glad she got a chance to debate. I’m glad she does [want to debate again](because McCain sure doesn’t). I think it’s cute that she said that. Is this her first debate?? This was nice to see
- She is cynical but in an ignorant illogical way…she has no reason to believe terrible things might happen. I doubt we will regress that far. She said one day we will want to look back and remember when we were free. Lol.
