The discussion I watch an NBC news, but I viewed online. The topic was fact checking the vice presidents for their performance in the debate. The speaker in the discussion was Kevin Corke who debated with the statements Palin and Biden made during the debate. Kevin claims that he always finds it interesting what candidates will say on the matter of taxes and whether they will play it safe and remain general, or get into “minute accurate details.” Palin says that Obama voted yes n a budget bill for a tax increase on families making “only 42,000 dollars a year.” Biden responded by saying that statement was false. Corke agrees with Biden saying that Obama did vote yes, but the vote in no way increased taxes, merely set budgetary goals. He also says that according to those goals those making 42,000 dollars a year will get a 1000 dollar tax cut, which Palin left out, but Biden added. Corke believes this is because the same person would get a tax cut under the McCain plan, but significantly smaller. Although this was not a true debate, Corke spoke with civil dialogue while taking a clear side to the argument on taxes. I like that Corke maintained civil dialogue and especially liked how he pointed out that the candidates “time and time again will make harsh accusations, that we believe.” I think his analysis and opinion on how the candidates discussed taxes revealed that Sarah Palin thought she could only speak generally on taxes, which as shown, is not sufficient enough.
