didnt his reply exclude Medicare as well. wants to work them in unisom, but cant put priorities on any of them. Here's a shout out to the McCain campaign (in my best Tina Fey impersonation) thats because he wants to cut medicare so that people don't run to the doctor's so much It's already so bad that many seniors can't afford their meds.

When I was watching the debate,I took a SHOT of TEQUILA every time McCain said "my friends". I passed out in 59 minutes.

it's disgusting and we paid for it all how nice of us huh? wonder if either ss or medicare will be available to us at our retirement age? I think entitlement is the wrong way to describe social security and medicare, it's called that appease us now, but there is no real security no matter what you call it.

I passed out in 59 minutes. lasted longer than me - and I wasnt drinking couldnt torture myself any longer than 30-35 mins. let's also remove the word "fundamentally/fundamental" from both candidates vocabs.

Fran, I was just thinking the same thing. Entitlement? I thought that we have been making insurance payments.

Brokaw: How would you solve the health care issues facing Americans. McCain: I would have them log on to the Mingle 2 forums to have all their health care questions answered.

DEBATE TRANSCRIPT: Hamm: Should the United States respect Pakistani sovereignty and not pursue al Qaeda terrorists who maintain bases there, or should we ignore their borders and pursue our enemies like we did in Cambodia during the Vietnam War? Brokaw: Sen. McCain? McCain: Well, Katie (ph), thank you. You know, my hero is a guy named Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt used to say walk softly -- talk softly, but carry a big stick.... POINT: Walk softly? How about shuffle and use my cane?

1956 not truly sure who won yesterday's debate, as it truly bored me and was hard to remain focused on the issues (candidates and myself)... but love your responses

Kinda like clicking your heels three times and repeating, there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home. I agree both candidates are offering and promising what 'we' the public want to hear, and once in office a different set of priorities will arise, like for every other President.
