The First Debate of ‘08
by: PfP Contributor Krollar

Let’s get right down to it. Who rigged up this debate? Let’s face it… we all know the media is Dem based. But, for once.. just once, I’d love to be able to actually see the faces of the individuals who write (rig) these interviews and debates for the candidates. Even more than that, I’m still trying to figure out how and why the media got so Dem-laden in the first place. Yes, yes, I know… "freedom of speech" and all that. But, in times of war, economic crisis, and other mayhem, the Dem one-sided and twisted reporting is the LAST place I want to get my information. Talk about the perfect propaganda platform… the Dems have it at their fingertips by controlling the media the way they do.So, now on to the issues of the Debate. I think now, I am more confused on where Obama stands on issues than I was before the debate. He didn’t admit that previously he was against the war in Iraq (typical of a Dem) and against sending more troops to Iraq. But, during the debate, he sure did whip around and tout that as President, he will send even more troops overseas and put them in Afghanistan. I just have to address this issue: First of all, Senator McCain hit the nail on the head when he said Obama doesn’t know the difference between tactics and strategy. In spite of Obama saying that now he thinks the war in Iraq has been a success, he snaps forward during the debate and says there’s no reason to be in Iraq and we should start war all over again in to Afghanistan. Hello Obama… you’re lack of experience (military or otherwise) is showing… and you want to be "Commander in Chief"?! Has Obama even looked at a topo of Afghanistan? Has he even read a book on strategic troop placement? Has he even considered the thought that the quickest and most accessible route IN TO Afghanistan is through Iraq (and don’t even get on the subject that Iraq has been central point of access for the enemy to purchase weapons). Oh, and now he wants to INCREASE the amount of troops so he can send them in to Afghanistan, that leads me to my next point. Second: How in the world does he think the military ended up in the "hole" that they’re in now and have been trying to recover from for decades?? Ah! That’s right… QMP of the 90’s (if you don’t know what that is, contact your local service member). So, let’s go back and thank THAT Democratic President for drawing down our military. That was a brilliant move. So, lemme see here. In summary Obama will cut taxes for millions of middle-income Americans, but he will make more programs (gotta love the Dems and their "programs") for healthcare, cut back on Medicare Benefits, all at the same time by increasing the size of the military. You know, in spite of his lack of experience, I will give Obama one thing: He is the epitome of a Dem as in, "Run from your enemies and spend more money", and that’s only thing I have found him to be completely clear on. Hey, at least during the debate he was smart enough to agree and simply emulate everything Senator McCain said. The sad thing for Obama is the myriads amount of speech coaching he was given showed right through the entire debate. While most people were watching and listening to the debate responses, I was more engrossed in the actual functions of the debate and it gave me an opportunity to do some reflecting. As for Senator McCain, some said he didn’t have the passion or "fresh" responses they were hoping for. One debate commentator even stated it made him seem "old". Well of course it did! He IS old. But, what everyone missed, was the very subtle and most eloquent manner in which McCain actually controlled the debate by NOT letting Obama get under his skin. McCain did not, for one minute allow Obama drag him into any heated arguement (for those of you who need clarification, the Dems seem to believe that a debate should be an arguement). McCain maintained professionalism and leadership over his answers, in spite of the fact that towards the end, it was killing Obama that he couldn’t interject (interrupt) McCains statements. Now that this first debate is over, I’ve come away with some very distinct thoughts on Obama. First and foremost I have come to realize that no matter what he says, I still cannot respect any man who bad-mouths his country and lies to the country (but that’s another subject for another posting). And overall, it has made me glad I’m nothing like Obama… right down to the DNA. And, I can’t wait to listen to Rush Limbaugh and Ben Ferguson during audio clips as they breaks down all the crap that came out of Obama’s mouth. It’ll be grand!
