The mod just asked a question that assumed a Bush/Cheney second term...LOL...

[AFPhys]

How in blazes did he get into health care?

[Sooth2222]

"This guy is a successful lawyer? All I have to say is that John Edwards must have been up against some very bad lawyers."

He's been able to excuse jurors until he's left with 12 ignoramuses who believe he can channel the thoughts of unborn fetuses.

[MJY1288]

Edwards has been a complete and utter failure tonight, Cheney won this debate by a vote of 80/20 I guarantee it

[Exit148]

Have we EVER had such a good, intelligent, steady, qualified man for VP as Dick Cheney?

[weegee]

F. Democrats.

Edwards IS NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTION. Nothing about how he will unite the country, just another answer about health care.

The anarchist left opposes the conservative administration. A cottage industry has arisen to tell people that the election did not turn out the way it did.

The division in this country comes from Terry McAwful and the Democrats.

NOW THEY WANT TO OUTSOURCE DRUGS. WHERE DO THEY THINK THE DRUGS COME FROM--CERTAINLY NOT FROM CANADA!!

[BlessedBeGod]

Stop posting pictures, damn it!!!!!

[mylife]

tune into cspan 2 now for the closer

[Semper Paratus]

Edwards is now offering a several trillion dollar health care program.

NOW THEY WANT TO OUTSOURCE DRUGS. WHERE DO THEY THINK THE DRUGS COME FROM--CERTAINLY NOT FROM CANADA!!

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

Even DU knows he's losing -- they're still planning their media blitz.

They think Gwen is "goofy".

Anyone making an attempt at being fair is goofy, I guess.

[Mo1]

Some type of advisory should be put up for Friday's live debate thread.

That is a good idea !!

[Bob]

WHAT is the rule about Ed. mentioning Kerry's name? Sometimes he may use it, and sometimes he may not?

It was specifically for that question only.

[TonyInOhio]

Cheney seems to have lost that "fire in his eyes" after that exchange about his gay daughter.

You're wrong, but it doesn't matter. Big Time delivered the 2 By 4 to the forehead so often early in the debate that it was over early.

[stopflipper]

OK. Edwards brings up problems with the terrorist watch list. Does Cheney respond that Kerry voted to gut intelligence spending while in the Senate? Does he point out how Democrats have despised the intelligence community for decades? Does he point out it took years for Bill Clinton to meet with the head of the CIA?

What is going on? Is Cheney ready to go to bed? I know the VP is incredibly smart. Why does he not focus on the failed, miserable Kerry Senate record?

[Otta B Sleepin]

Cheney doing a great job controlling his facial expressions.

[tame]

I can't believe this lying scumbag...is saying skerry and scumbag (his sweet little girlie self) will NEVER LIE to the American people....when that's all he's been doing tonight!!!

You got that right! i can already see a saturday night live skit/leno/mad tv skit having edwards nervously laughing like a goof ball, as he gets confused re the rules, lol!

[hattend]

Silk Pony, drive down the cost of Medical Care by passing tort reform...OOOOps, that wrecks your "ciilian" job opportunity, doesn't it?

[commish]

OK Gwen should have cut Edwards off when he left the last question and went into a campaign speech!

But that's OK cause Cheney is now B*tchslapping Breck Girl.
