Comments on the 2008 Second Presidential Debate

Last night’s debate was mind numbing. The questions did not take us where the American people have a right to go: to questions of world-view, personal character and integrity, and demonstrated experience.

Rick Warren's Saddleback debate was the most informative of all the candidate debates. If the first two presidential debates had followed the Saddleback format and / or asked similarly insightful questions on key issues like the economy, energy, the war, education, and healthcare, perhaps the American people could determine the difference between each candidate’s position. To me the choice is straightforward. We can either vote for the McCain / Palin team, which supports a Judeo Christian worldview, demonstrates high personal moral character and integrity, and has a proven track record or we can vote for Obama, who has a Marxist / humanist world view, a questionable moral character, and no proven track record. I purposely left Biden out because his views are immaterial: he has demonstrated consistently that he cannot even get his facts straight. As the mortgage guy on the radio says, "This must be the biggest no brainer in the history of the earth." Any further discussion is little more than rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic ...

... at least they had a band.
