Western Standard liveblogs the 3rd US Presidential Debate
- Ok, the debates starting up. Until my colleagues arrive, it's just you and me folks.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:00:47 AM
- The best primary debate was the GOP debate in NH at a round-table and the Canadian debates in a similar format were pretty good. Let's hope that more interaction will lead to less of a bore.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:02:41 AM
- I'm not watching this debate from my usual location, McCain looks much better when he's not in HDby Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:04:10 AM
- Who's willing to bet that John McCain never read chapter six of Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:05:38 AM
- In Obama-land, "tax-cuts" in rhetoric turn into protectionism in practiceby Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:07:54 AM
- Bob's got a good question: You both claim to want to cut the deficit, but your proposals will add at least 200 billion. Where will you cut?by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:14:53 AM
- Obama want's an overall spending decrease, but he only named one concrete cut: $15 Billion in insurance subsidies... that's it.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:16:35 AM
- Corporations, the federal government... hm, where does all their money come from? Americans!by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:17:07 AM
- John McCain is talking about the New Deal Home Ownership Loan Corporation...as a good thing. Yup, he definitely didn't read (or understand) Hazlitt's book.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:17:30 AM
- I can't believe how many people don't realize that going insular was one of the worst moves the US government made during the economic troubles in the 1920s and 30s. Politicians never learn.by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:18:25 AM
- John McCain wants a spending freeze, Obama wants to go through the budget line by line. I feel like I've heard this discussion beforeby Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:18:50 AM
- Smart, McCain is trying hard not to let himself get painted as Bush III. If McCain is really smart, he'll draw his sword and run against the Bush legacy too.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:22:03 AM
- Terrence, where are you? McCain mentioned CAGW again.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:22:29 AM
- Clean coal? Smart - I didn't know he was supporting that.by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:23:03 AM
- McCain really needs to stop trying so hard to smile when he's not speaking.by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:23:26 AM
- I know that Obama is ranked as having the most liberal voting record in the Senate, but in terms of legislation he's supported he's been sometime centristby Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:24:02 AM
- Earmark transparency, tort reform, charter schools. There's some pretty good stuff right there.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:24:41 AM
- Well played round by both sides.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:25:15 AM
- McCain's looking all thinky with his notepad.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:25:37 AM

- By funding stem-cell research, we will balance the budget!by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:30:52 AM
- Do you think people empathize more with Joe Sixpack or Joe the Plumber?by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:33:09 AM
- Cato Institute has predicted that it's only a matter of time until there are Joe the Plumber t-shirts.by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:34:02 AM
- I think McCain has directly contradicted himself. He repudiates the comments by certain people who attend his rallies... but everyone who attends his rallies is above reproach and he will not criticize them.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:35:23 AM
- Hey Kalim - I'm supposed to be working but once again, punditry calls.by Craig Yirush at 10/16/2008 1:36:07 AM
- Ayers talk - I tuned in at the right time!by Craig Yirush at 10/16/2008 1:36:59 AM
- OK, Obama is dealing with this well.by Craig Yirush at 10/16/2008 1:38:51 AM
- Obama is right to laugh here. I don't think anyone is buying what McCain just did there.by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:40:14 AM
- Didn't Biden want to partition Iraq?by Craig Yirush at 10/16/2008 1:41:37 AM
- Yeah, they called it the Biden plan.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:41:58 AM
- What a coincidence.by Craig Yirush at 10/16/2008 1:42:17 AM
- Very bad idea, though. His foreign policy record is not great.by Craig Yirush at 10/16/2008 1:42:38 AM
- What the Nation's Capital needs is a bresh of freth air!by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:43:42 AM
- From Matt Welch at Hit+Run: "Let's be clear: Joe Biden is a clown, a drug warrior, an unreconstructed liberal hawk, who would be an even more dreadful president than he has been a senator. The end. "by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:43:56 AM
- Obama's doing a great job and keeping above the fray.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:45:05 AM
- Hey - I like Liberal hawks!by Craig Yirush at 10/16/2008 1:45:31 AM
- Hmm... If you'll remember back in the Democratic primary season. Joe Biden didn't think Obama was qualified for president, and thought that John McCain was.by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:45:59 AM
- YES! Why hasn't he said this earlier?by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:46:14 AM
- Just say it! Why can't we get the private sector involved?by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:46:29 AM
- McCain doesn't really believe in the private sector, alas.by Craig Yirush at 10/16/2008 1:46:59 AM
- I bet you any money now they import 100% of their foreign oil, those un-American sellouts.by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:47:20 AM
- Go Canada!by Craig Yirush at 10/16/2008 1:47:43 AM
- For free-trade internationalist John McCain there isn't a dirtier word than "isolationism," but when it comes to energy, all of a sudden his for "limiting dependence" on trade?by Kalim Kassam at 10/16/2008 1:48:39 AM
- Once we're no longer dependent on all those filthy foreign oil (non-Canadian) producing countries, we can safely bomb them without worrying about economic fallout.by Janet Neilson at 10/16/2008 1:49:11 AM
