Yahoo! News – Cheney, Edwards Trade Sharp Attacks on Iraq
“Mr. Vice President, you are still not being straight with the American people,” Edwards told Cheney, adding later: “I don’t think the country can take four more years of this kind of experience.”- John Edwards
No, Mr. Edwards. we can not!
Just watched the debate. Thought Edwards did pretty good…But Cheney had some pretty good jabs. He (Cheney) is so god damn much smarter than Bush, but then the bar has been lowered THERE. But it is quite obvious that, while smarter than Bush, he is also as deluded as Bush, too.
My thoughts on Cheney: 1. He is the most boring human being alive. When he was giving his closing statements my eyes literally glazed over. And didn’t it seem so empty? 2. It seemed as if he didn’t take Edwards very seriously. He seemed put out by being at the debate. He had an attitude that exuded “I am too good to be here. This is beneath me.” 3. Again, he repeated the same stump speech and talking points. Over and over (although not as much as Bush did) It’s all they got, people. It’s all they got. 4. I talked to my Mom a few minutes ago and she said that she nearly fell over in her chair when he mentioned Tom Foley’s name. Tom Foley (former congressman from Spokane, and former speaker of the house before Newt Gengrich replaced him – after he was voted out of office. [stupid!]) was a liberal democrat. It’s kind of a slap in the face for Spokane Democrats when Cheney invokes the name of Tom Foley.
Edwards did a pretty good job..I think that he did a good job of answering the questions and also responding to the misinformation that Cheney was throwing out there. He made sure the Kerry/Edwards platform laid out. He did a good job of clearing stating were the Bush Admin is wrong.
The thing that’s good about these debates is that everyone is watching them. And I’m specifically talking about the neo-cons who are so narrow minded that they might not see a Kerry or Edwards speech, or they might not take the time to see where Kerrry/Edwards stand. These are people who see the world throught the filter of Fox News. These debates are great because these people can, at least for 90 min., see Kerry and Edwards unfiltered.
