Kerry 2, Bush 0

Again, I sincerely hope a lot of people saw this vice-presidential debate. www.cspan.org will keep playing it for anyone who missed it.

Edwards was direct, consise and clear.

Cheney was cynical, impatient, negative and in total denial. He acted outraged or insulted whenever he was faced with something he knew he couldn't dispute, like the fact that Americans are carrying 90% of the weight in the "coalition" of occupation in Iraq. He carried all the earmarks of one who is used to managing through intimidation instead of reason. He has contributed in large measure to the ugly face-mask America has been forced to wear, in the name of greed.

Notice how Cheney avoided the Halliburton issue Twice. And the way he dodged the Tora Bora failure, in which we could have gotten Bin Laden had not he, Bush and Rumsfeld been so eager to leave there and go after the oil and "better targets" in Iraq instead. Instead of hardening our domestic defenses and seeking out the real threats overseas, Bush and Cheney have created a new menace altogether in Iraq. And killed over a thousand of our sons and daughters in the process.

And No talk whatsoever about Caspian Oil pipelines or Unocal or THREATS, just before 9/11. He said the halliburton issue was a smokescreen. Where there's smoke there's fire. I encourage everyone to enquire further. Bush and Cheney didn't even WANT a 9/11 commission looking into what happened. We should all wonder, WHY?!

Like Kerry, Edwards is working to bring out the truth. They will bring some desperately needed credibility, humanity and good sense back into our government. In the spirit of the late Paul Wellstone, bless him.

And remember equal rights? Yeah.. Remember that?

Iraq was not the terrorists' home. Bush and Cheney have turned it into one. For Oil; and they won't even say it.

Cheney and Bush are unashamedly lying to you. To me. If we let them get away with this, we are doomed to Cheney's "extraordinary measures" (I almost fell out of my chair when he said that) in the form of military aggression and domestic paramilitary policing that is Un-American. Like a company that makes deals with the enemy. Like Halliburton. Like Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam.

Not in our name. Kerry '04. For your freedom. For America.

If you accept their lies they will enslave you. Do you see now what might ensue if Cheney ever became president?

Talk to others. Change somebody's mind. Take them to the polls. We can fix this. This may well be the most important election in our lifetimes.
