JOHN MCCAIN TAKE CONTROL OF THE DEBATE
Many in the main stream are calling tonight's debate between John McCain and Barack Obama , McCain's last stand. Once again they are saying that McCain needs a knockout blow or all is lost and Obama wins the Presidency. Even many who are conservatives see tonight as McCain's Alamo and unless he blows Obama away with the so called knockout blow it's over.
While I agree that McCain needs a good night I totally disagree that unless he scores a, "knockout," that the election is over. Let's look at a few facts concerning this and for that matter the other two Presidential debates.
FACT ONE : the media bias toward Obama makes it impossible for most to even consider McCain the winner in any of the debates. All Obama has to do is show up and thank the Debate Commission and everyone falls all over themselves claiming Obama the winner.
FACT TWO: knockout blows seldom happen in a debate. In fact the last real knockout blow took place in 1984 when Ronald Reagan used his marvelous sense of humor against Walter Mondale telling how he would not use Mondale's, "youth and inexperience," against him in the election. Ending all challenges about Reagan's age and putting Mondale on the defensive the remainder of the election.
FACT THREE: with three liberal moderators deciding which direction the questioning will go, while they are not obviously leading the questioning to favor Obama they are posing questions that are safe for Obama. Even the, "town hall," format where Tom Brokaw had six million Internet questions to chose from, no one can tell me that there were not questions available that could have presented a negative view of Barack Obama so Brokaw chose six safe questions and fourteen safe questions from the audience.
FACT FOUR: a debate has never decided the outcome of an election and this election is far from over regardless of what happens tonight.
So what does McCain have to do in order to score points against Obama. After all this Democrat nominee is a mystery in so many ways that he is in actuality the most vulnerable candidate to ever run for high office yet because he is so protected by the media his vulnerabilities are ignored.
McCain then in many respects should in like manner ignore much of the questioning and use the opportunity with a large viewing audience to go after Obama. Sure hitting him about Bill Ayers and other Obama associations including ACORN should be part of the attack but McCain should not dwell heavily on this otherwise it will backfire as he will be seen as only going negative.
Obama has massive vulnerabilities in policy and McCain again should ignore much of the safe line of questioning that will be posed tonight and go after Obama on substance. Obama has been touting his so called ,"tax cut," for 95% of Americans. Fine, if that is what Obama wants to call it then McCain should in like manner call Obama on the deception and in no uncertain terms expose the lie with the facts that 44% of Americans do not pay taxes and that his entire ,"plan," consists of tax credits that will be issued as refunds to the 44% who pay no taxes payed for by the 1% in whom Obama has indicated he will raise taxes. Also that because the credits phase down as more money is earned his ,"plan," discourages work and creates a tax welfare state.
McCain must hit hard on Obama's discussion with the plumber in which he said to, "spread the wealth," is good for America and call it exactly what it is, SOCIALISM ! Outline in detail Obama's spending plan including especially his $150 BILLION dollar health care plan that most believe will cost much more. And stress that the ONLY way it can be paid for is out of the pockets of the American people. End this illusion that Obama and the Democrats have created that Universal Health Care is free and stress the enormous cost and entitlement it would become at taxpayer expense.
Hammer Obama and the Democrats about their direct responsibility in the financial crises that we are facing today and quit being on the defensive about this main campaign issue. Name names, Dodd, Franks, Maxine Waters and others including Obama who protected Fannie and Freddie igniting the powder keg that exploded last month. Give dollar figures received by Obama and Dodd from the Fannie and Freddie PACS, to buy their protection from exposing the corruption that took place.
Regardless of the line of questioning McCain should hammer Obama's inexperience and enforce in the minds of the American people the dangers of allowing a novice who has a questionable back ground to lead this nation and especially our armed forces.
Hammer again and again using the word Socialism in describing an Obama Presidency so that the truth about the direction this Socialist/liberal will take the country is driven home and finally the American people by the millions will hear the truth and not just the mania creating sound bites that have been played over and over by the Obamamedia.
If McCain hammers Obama tonight with the truth about what this Democrat truly believes and reveals the deception throughout his policy, his associations and his entire campaign, McCain by all the Obama backing pundits will lose the debate but he will gain the support of the majority of the people who watch the debate as the truth about Barack Obama is revealed.

Ha, ha, ha. Yer funny. I thought ultra-conservatives didn't have a sense of humor. What a great satire on the nearsightedness and primative chest pounding behavior of a loser like...ahh...well like yourself.
May you always have enough insurance to cover your illnesses...both mental and physical.
The Facts?
It is totally amazing to me that the conservatives spout such nonsense. I have seen conservative columns decry the medias positive spin on Obama stating that 5 of the major news organizations are in the tank for Obama, and that the only news organization worth watching is FOX. How pathetically silly! To think that major news organizations would pile on to any one candidate lacks coherent reasoning. They are looking for news and the ridiculous antics of JM give them that news. If conservatives want more positive coverage then they should do something more positive and quit exhibiting themselves as fringe ranters and hate spewing inciters of the mobs.
Who likes going to the DMV. really?
Nationalized healthcare will be the same.
Obama is borderline socialist. Which might be what we need right now economically, however china and the middle east will eat us alive. We will end up buying chinese goods, just like russia used to buy levis.
Can people bring obama and reverend wright back up? He changed his name from Barry to Barack in order to get the chicago black vote. How far did he sell himself radical to get the street vote?

Brilliant. Enough is enough, its time to call a spade a spade; there is too much at risk this election. Thank you for your courage!
Where is the evidence of the bias? Please provide specific examples from the debate where the questions were skewed to favor McCain or Obama.
In addition, if a conservative had the opportunity to moderate the debate, please provide examples of questions that you would ask Obama.
You claim their is bias but until you actually demonstrate any verifiable evidence of it than I considered your post to be an opinion and not a factual statement.
FYI:
You spelled "no" wrong.
"... where Tom Brokaw had six million Internet questions to chose from, know one can tell me that there were not questions available..."
DARN IT KEN now there you go being all rational and factual. That will just not do.
Fact is, Mac DOES need to land a few tonight. Period. And he needs to be the Maverick he keeps calling himself. I wanna see the guy we all loved to hate before he was our horse in this race.
"If McCain hammers Obama with truth..." Are you kidding me? Since when does a Bush puppet know what truth is? Trust me I am as sick of the illuminati self-serving elitist as the next guy but this whole "truth" concept is getting funny. Most people believe if they don't get caught anymore...it's truth. Ask the bush buddies on Wall Street.

Great, Rob. 2/3rds of McCain's campaign speeches is about "the issues" (as if Obama's judgment and "guilt by alliances" aren't part of the issues), but what the media zeroes in on are the 1/3 devoted to "negative" attacks. Meanwhile, Obama gets a pass, when he's talked about things other than just the issues, since the beginning. Constantly talking about Bush this, McCain that, his likeness not on U.S. currency, etc.
The media seizes upon the sensationalism of a few crazed McCain supporters, then runs hysteria like there's an epidemic problem. Tonight Obama lumps in "kill him!" when his "name is brought up". The media report is in regards to one incident, and occurred after the mention of Ayers. "Terrorist" has also been overblown, and much of it mis-cited as well, with journalists in the mainstream playing the game of "telephone", where the story gets more and more departed from the actual incident. Meanwhile, where has this media been for the last 8 years for every "Bushitler" slander and hateful rhetoric? Where have they been for all the hateful things said about Sarah Palin, the slanderous assault, including t-shirts labeling her with the "c" word?
Exactly right, Wordsmith.
Ken, I just finished writing my opinion of last night's debate and regarding the pundits, came to the same conclusion you did.
