I've Got a Little List -- (With Apologies to W.S. Gilbert)
Not everyone agreed, but I thought the debate was boring because the real questions were, as usual, unasked. Here are the ones I'd like to hear next time.
John McCain's Surging Lie
McCain wants us to talk solely about whether the surge of US troops last year has been successful. But a hole was just blown in that argument -- and blood is rushing through.

It's Time to Demand an Apology from George W. Bush
This isn't about hate, Mr. President. I couldn't possibly vilify or embarrass you any more than you've vilified and embarrassed yourself. This is about healing.
On the Stump in Pa., McCain's Main Issue Is Obama
At a McCain event in Pennsylvania, the Lehigh County Republican chairman encouraged supporters to spend nights volunteering, saying, "Think how you would feel if you woke up on November 5th and Barack Obama--Barack Hussein Obama--were president."
The Palin Doctrine: Why the Neocons Are So Excited
Sarah Palin may not have known what the Bush Doctrine was, but we're getting a pretty good idea of what the Palin Doctrine is. And what is it going to look like? Let's just say, it's going to seem familiar.
The Surge "Success" Debunked
Iraq remains a powder keg. "The Surge" has done little to increase security, a state of civil war remains and regional conflict threatens greater problems for the future.
The White House's Final Folly
In its final days in office, the White House has engineered an historic nuclear deal with India that Congress, unaware of the import, approved last week.
McCain's Non-Support for Troops and Veterans: The Master List

After the Wrecking
Conservatives have wrecked government so massively that it fails in New Orleans, fails in Iraq, and fails in its most basic regulatory missions. And this is the reason we need to elect more conservatives to high office?
John McCain: Maverick Man Who Thinks War With Iran Inevitable
McCain's framing of the Iraq War and the inevitability of a war with Iran feels like someone who has not gotten beyond Vietnam.

There is no doubt that the economy will go into a depression. I now believe that we are in a recession but it is only a matter of time before the omens of the 1930s return to haunt us. It will be slow and painful, unemployment could go up by as much as 15 or 20 per cent. There will be millions without homes and rioting in the street, resulting in total social breakdown. I have heard a lot from people that there won't be a depression but they can't prove to me that this is the case. With so many of our huge companies going under - and who would have thought GM merging with Chrystler, that I can only say we must be heading for unknown territory.
I agree, pretty much.
Ending the war. UNDOING the damage we've done to people's lives by violating both the Geneva Conventions and our own Constitution.
My third is Kyoto Treaty and other actions to reduce the efffects of global warming--and restore environmental protections that Bush has eroded.
That narrowly edges out health care reform to me. And developing alternative sources of energy would be more important for me than energy independence. I'm not an advocate of drilling off the coast, popular though that's become lately. Let's do more with solar and wind instead.
What about ILLEGAL ALIENS? We spend BILLIONS in CA alone to educate and provide health care to people who don't belong here. We need to use this money on our own poor.
Drill baby drill. All of the above. Clean coal, coal to oil, nuclear, wind. We need a crutch until I get my flying car that runs on hydrogen that was promised to me in cartoons when I was kid (Jetsons).
All of the above. We get off oil and the thugs in the Middle East economies go to hell. 2 birds with one stone folks.
