Edwards Embarrasses Himself; Cheney Wins

Political pundits say it was a draw. I don't think so at all! and I'm quite befuddled how anyone who watched the debate in its entirety can say that it was a draw. Cheney clearly came away as the stronger candidate.

Edwards provided much entertainment for me while I watched. He wiggled and wormed, and moved his head and hands about relentlessly. He tore pieces of paper whilst Cheney spoke, and his patronizing tone when he spoke of Cheney's gay daughter was so transparent.

He acted like an adolescent, and definitely not one who could, at a moment's notice, take over the helm of Commander-in-Chief. The thought of Edwards as President frightens me even more than Kerry as President!

I was cracking up when he tried to respond to Cheney's statement: "While you were in private practice in law and as a senator, you had the advantage of a special tax loophole, Subchapter S corporation, which you set up so you could avoid paying $600,000 in Medicare taxes that would have gone into the fund."

Edwards response, after fumbling and bumbling and tripping over his speech because he was CORNERED was: "Well, first of all, I have paid all the taxes... Halliburton took advantage of loophole." yada, yada, yada.

Edwards didn't answer a single question directly and specifically when asked. And, when he did get around to answering the question it was only after accusing the current administration of doing a poor job... yada, yada, yada. Please stop pointing fingers already. It's tiresome.

I'm sick of hearing of the Kerry/Edwards imaginary "plan." Where is this plan for withdrawing our troops? Oh, wait. Or is it strengthening our troops? Or their plan for medicare, education, social security, prescription drugs. When will they fully disclose this amazing plan that they have??
