Cheney did SO much better than Bush, was SO in command of much of this "debate," that it will be spun that this shows what a pathetic President W is. Why, his VP is better and stronger and smarter than he. That and, "We saw once again who the REAL President is."

Quite frankly, I think the president despised being on the same stage as, well, what ever that was next to him and it showed, I mean, what would you do in Bush's place, arguing with a Nth. Vietnamese war hero.

Cheney is Cheney and Dubya is Dubya. Each man has his own strengths and weaknesses. They complement each other well.

I don't care which one of them is in charge. They make a helluva team.

Cheney did better in the debate because he didn't have to be Presidential. He can be an attack dog, Bush can't. Bush is ultimately responsible for the decision to send the sons and daughters of Republicans AND Democrat Americans to their honorable sacrifice in Iraq, and he can't BE partisan as the CIC. Cheney is not the CIC.

I wish people would accept that. Nuthin' against you, because what you say is how it is spun. And you were making an accurate prediction. But we Freepers should be smarter than that, at least.
