slugshooter Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I didn't watch it, had no real intentions to. I think it was a dumb move though. What better way to piss off potential voters by interrupting their prime time tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Had the chance to but didn't want to waste 30 minutes of my life listening to "womp womp womp womp, blah blah blah blah." So I watched something else!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 No. Shame that Obama did not keep with his promise on campaign funds, this would not be an issue. Actually yesterday while I was at the dodge dealership where we bought our durango waiting to get it serviced there was another person in the waiting room flipping channels on their satellite and he passed the obama info channel a couple times, I got up and walked over and looked out the window when he stopped on the channel. Shortly thereafter he asked about finding cartoons for my daughter and started flipping channels again. I do agree with Marc too, think the idea is/was probably a turn off to some voters, a lot of people are getting sick of hearing the commercials.

oldksnarc Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Obama did not keep with his promise on campaign funds... And why? Once they saw the roll they were on and how they could funnel money into the campaign from illegitimate sources - why keep the promise? As long as donations are kept under $200 per they don't have to name the donator. PACs, unions, foreign contributors are now suspected of flooding the campaign with donations under $200 - but they are all coming from the same source(s). Was it really a close race? McCain limited himself to public funds - $84.1 million dollars. All subject to audit and inspection since it was public money. Obama broke his "promise" and has raised/spent over $600 million dollars - not normally subject to audit or inspection. If he hasn't spent all $600 million - that makes for a nice treasure chest to fade away with. If the race is Obama 51% to McCain 49% and there is a total of (as an example) 100,000,000 votes cast (Obama 51,000,000 and McCain 49,000,000) that means Obama spent $11.76 per vote while McCain spent $1.72 per vote. Which goes to show - one CAN buy an election. So, elections can be bought. Both by total dollars spent AND by promises made of "spreading the wealth." Had he not made promises of that, how far would his message had gone? "A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." - George Bernard Shaw And, they made such a big deal of Palin's $150,000 for clothes. How much has been spent for "incidentals" by the other candidates? How much was spent for the Grecian columns in Denver or the prime-time air time last night? America(ns) can be bought.

nativetexan Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I didn't watch it. That would have been 30 minutes of my time I couldn't have gotten back, and besides, I already know what socialism means. No need for me to sit and watch it over and over again.
