Isn't that just like a Democrat? Bringing a knife to a gunfight.
I just turned off Fox after hearing crap that Edwards won. They must be hurrying to lower themselves to the other MSM's common denominator.
I thought Edwards was awful. He was too glib... every response was nothing more than a bumper sticker. "We will fight for America," and the repetitive "They could have chosen to stand with X [drug companies, insurance companies, generic Bad Guys, etc.] or they could have chosen to stand with Americans. They chose X." Say it once, say it twice, say it three times for punch! It was such rhetorical gimmickry with so little substance. The thing that ticked me off the most, however, was Edwards patronizing little sermon about how he is "sure" that VP and Mrs. Cheney "love their daughter." That rude patronizing intrusive little jerk... thanks for pointing out to us that the Cheneys love their daughter, I wasn't sure till you confirmed it for me. It really set my teeth on edge. I think the Cheneys and their daughter have shown real class re. the situation of her sexuality, and Edwards was just trying to goad VP Cheney with his comments. It made me sick. Did anyone else feel that way? Of course, VP Cheney just made a gracious response and let it go. Second place for Most Irritating was Edwards' tiresome speech about "millionaires sitting by the pool," and how the Democrats value "a paycheck, not a dividend." If that's so, then why did Edwards pay himself dividends rather than a paycheck? Right, so he could avoid $600K in Medicare taxes. I was upset that Cheney didn't mention that, but was cheering when he got it in later. And boy, am I tired of the whole Evil Corporation schtick. I don't see Kerry or Edwards divesting themselves of stock holdings or stepping forward to pay more taxes... that's right, tax shelters are for them, and tax hikes are for the rest of us.
Cheney was awesome and the little guy looked like a deer in the headlights!
There were a few unanswered charges that I hope get revisited in the campaign soundbites, but overall, Cheney cleaned his clock! :)
I mentioned this on the Sunday morning news thread. Fox needs to remember who gave them the ratings they have now. If they continue the lean to the left, I have no qualms encouraging others not to watch the channel. Their ratings can go as abysmally low as MSNBC. We do not need to be ignored.
Edwards came to a high school debate......Cheney came hunting for bear......
I second that!
If the debate were only about how the viewing audience reacted to the candidates' "appearance" then yes, Breck Girl won. For people who were paying attention to the substance, or who were listening to the radio, then Darth Vader won.
BTW, I thought the moderator did a good job. She held Edwards feet to the fire on a couple of issues, in particular the issue about Global Test. He never did come up with a good answer, but she pressed him on the issue more than once.
Good. Bump for Bush-Cheney!
They know good and well the internet polls are BS. Talk about spin! The MSM is a joke.
Just wait til the real polls come out.
"All he did was recite prepared speech crapola. I guess he can't think :-}"
Really, that's all he's good for. Trial lawyers don't think. They just regurgitate their prepared text.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK.
I'm watching Fox and Friends, too. I can't believe them!
No, it's not you. I thought the same thing.
Is that what he sounded like to you as well, just reciting what someone had programmed him to say? I just didn't think he had a cognitive argument just canned lines.
