I don't know. I'm thinking about voting against Cheney, because he voted against Head Start, Meals On Wheels, and Martin Luther King's birthday. < /eyebleedingsarcasm >
Chris Wallace is an idiot.
The bigger idiot is the Republican saying how you voted and what your past positions were are not relevant. Just give Kerry a pass on his record why don't you. Leave that boob off the tube.
What about Edwards tearing out that piece of paper while Cheney was responding? He made a few big blunders.
It was hilarious when Edwards threw that out there.
No, Matthew Dowd was acting like an idiot. That question from Wallace was a big ol' slow pitch. Let me show you how I would have answered it:
Chris, I just have to ask, is that all they've got? The American people know Dick Cheney isn't a bigot or cold-hearted or a corporate robber baron, that's why they voted for him and President Bush in 2000 when these charges were first debunked. Intelligence failures got 3,000 Americans killed on 9/11, Senators Kerry and Edwards have both missed a ton of intel committee meetings, and their excuse is some 20 year old Dick Cheney vote. It's just plain silly.
Easy hit.
It was also pretty fun to watch cahill talk about how the $87 Billion vote was an example of the Bush campaign "focusing on the past." Dang, there are troops still in Iraq right now who were there when the buttheads cast the vote, it's not like it's ancient history!
