Overall, Cheney looks very knowledgable/experienced, Edwards looks....somewhat uneasy.
Cheney just sawed him off a chaw of Breck Girl a$$.
Edwards has talking points and Cheney has a glorious depth of knowledge. I've always loved Cheney!
At the end, Dick's gonna pull out a gun and just shoot him...
YEEEEHAWWWWWWW!
I almost feel sorry for eddie (okay, i'm lying :o)
Edwards just got spanked and he knew it! YES!
Cheney's SPANKING that Edwards !
When did the Bush-Cheney team decide that their debate strategy would be repeat talking points?
Bush and Cheney are broken records.
Cheney could hit Edwards’s points.
He could have killed Edwards on the issue of hunting Bin Laden in Afghanistan. (What should we have done, invaded Pakistan at a time when the Islamist Pakistani intelligence services was one bullet from a coup that would give Islamists a nuclear weapons?! Should we have followed the failed strategy the Soviet tried for 8 years? Instead we worked with elements on the ground and took control of the country!)
On Haliburton, Cheney could have responded
1. Haliburton got the same kind of contracts in the same way in the Clinton administration
2. Haliburton was the only American company able to provide certain services. Should the Us have outsourced to French and Russian companies that had worked with Saddam Hussein in misusing the oil for food program?!
In North Korea, should we have threatened an invasion we could not accomplish in 2001, or should we have followed our current strategy of working with North Koreas neighbors in isolating North Korea.
What the hell is your problem?
Stop it and focus on the debate. Those who are using this debate to bash Bush are beneath contempt in my book.
There IS one connection between AlQueda/9-11 and Saddam ... AlQ hit us twice (Clinton let the first one slide) ... Bush and Cheney want to make sure Saddam didn't hit us NEXT.
No, it is his son's Outward Bound pin. A few months before his son died, Edwards and his son went on an Outward Bound trip together. Edwards always wears that pin.
THe "moderator" is NOT controlling the debate. When the camera looks at her - she looks confused. She's in over her head.
Cheney Rules, it's like he's being patient with a smarmy, snotty little kid. Edwards just keeps starting over and fumbling around. Way to go, DC!!!!!!!!!!
So what is the over/under in minutes post-debate when some pundit (media or FR) states the ticket has the wrong guy on top? ;^) Just like 2000!
well he just broke two more rules - interupted the vp - then when the "moderator" (and I use that term loosely) ask him a new question, he went back to the previous question to challenge the vp....this guy is NUTS!
No, it is his son's Outward Bound pin. A few months before his son died, Edwards and his son went on an Outward Bound trip together. Edwards always wears that pin.
Is is my imagination of is Breck breaking all the rules? Why doesn't the moderator do something about it? What is she there for if she is just going to sit there like a boob and do nothing? Do I misunderstand her job?
Question Six: Safety & Security
Edwards' Claim: Kerry Says He Supported The Gulf War Coalition.
The Facts:
Kerry Called 1991 Gulf War Coalition "Shadow Battlefield Allies Who Barely Carry A Burden." "[I]n his 1991 floor statement, Kerry was dismissive of the elder Bush's coalition. That effort, he said, lacked 'a true United Nations collective security effort,' and he was critical of the then-president for trading favors for China's support and cozying up to Syria, despite its human rights record. 'I regret that I do not see a new world order in the United States going to war with shadow battlefield allies who barely carry a burden,' he said then. 'It is too much like the many flags policy of the old order in Vietnam, where other countries were used to try to mask the unilateral reality. I see international cooperation; yes, I see acquiescence to our position; I see bizarre new bedfellows and alliances, but I question if it adds up to a new world order.'"
