One gets the sense that Andrew's brain favours Cheney and other portions favour Edwards.

In any event, my sympathy is with this fellow:

Regards, Ivan

I can't wait for the debate:

"I find your lack of faith disturbing."

And... welcome back, Ivan! You've been missed!

What Andrew views as Cheney's cold gruffness, others may view as a direct, blunt truthfulness. And what he sees as Edwards' charm and hope, others may see as insincere lawyerly pandering, and dishonest sleaze.

Does this mean Dick Cheney is John Edwards's father?

People who think this way about Cheney have spent more time listening to the media describe him than they have actually listening to Cheney. Ever since Gulf War One I have thought he is exceptionally intelligent and well spoken.

When it comes to the debate between Cheney and Edwards, Cheney will make mincemeat of pretty-boy. The first time I heard Dick Cheney speak,which was many years ago, I turned to my husband and told him I had never heard anyone speak so well, off the cuff. If he had notes you would never have known it. I was thoroughly impressed and followed his career from then on. There is no way Edwards will have a grasp of world affairs, or anything else for that matter, the way Cheney will.

The liberal media knows Cheney is formidable. That is why they keep propogating this notion that he is a negative for Bush and should be dropped from the ticket. They have been pushing that crap almost from the beginning.

I BEG to differ! The comparison could not be more wrong.
Luke Skywalker kicked a--. He didn't try to understand the Empire, he blasted the hell out of them.
Bush is closer to the more direct, the sh-- stops here Skywalker than this wussy Edwards.
I am OFFENDED!

It's a very funny analogy, but if Cheney is Darth Vader, Edwards is the cloned bounty hunter, not Luke.

His tribute to Reagan in the Rotunda was first rate. Cheney also ripped Lieberman to shreds in their debates.

These "anybody but Bush" people are BIGOTS.

This is bigotry: obstinate and unreasoning attachment to one's own opinion and beliefs, with intolerance of opinions opposed to them. A bigot is obstinately and irrationally, often intolerantly, devoted to his own church, party, belief, or opinion - a hypocrite, especially a superstitious one.

Call them what they are.
