This is definitely a much closer debate than Kerry/Bush. I'm a little disappointed by just now much time they've spent attacking each other, but I guess that's not too surprising.

I live in Miami, one of the most expensive real estate places. We're not rich and we have a pool. Is it a huge olympic sized swimming pool with a waterfall? NO. Stop making generalizations because they are always wrong.

ouch!

Yes and he totally evaded answering the charge.


He's totalling evading EVERYTHING. His role is to simply attack and give low blows. That's IT. No substance, no nothing. Low blows and cheap shots.

Wow. Cheney obviously does not like being forced to toe the ticket line on gay marriage.

That was a weird point by Edwards, Cheney certainly looked stressed about it. Cheney handled it the best he could.

he didnt say he supported his daughter, loved his daughter or anything of that nature.

True enough, but this isn't Oprah and I think Edwards comments were just a little too Personal(not an attack mind you) to be handled any other way. I'm just glad the issue has changed.

This is a pretty tough question for Edwards, imo, about his little experience.

Ooooooowneeed as ckg would say (preemptive strike)

It's "Pwned" according to conjur. I don't have to pull up my pants all the time so I don't know the "lingo".

Tit for tat on the scumsucking trial lawyer vs CEO.

That's the Bush-Cheney way, everything is everybody else's fault but not Bush & Cheney.

Short transcript of what was said on fighting terrorism.

Edwards: We would find terrorists and kill them.
Cheney: No they wouldn't
Edwards: Yes we would!
Cheney: No you wouldn't

Edwards would find terrorists where they are and stop them. That's like saying "If I were Surgeon General, I would find cures for cancer and AIDS and cure them." :roll:

This debate is just wetting my appetite for the next presidential debate. I hope the other voters are going to watch.

Doesn't Cheney just sound bored?

(Of course Cheney doesn't talk about himself, he's a slimy CEO who will start wars to increase his profits).
