Snake in the grass
« on: October 05, 2004, 10:10:01 PM »
I would rather have a not particularly bright President with his heart in the right place and a smart vice president with his heart in the right place, than a smart President with is his heart in the right place and a vice president who was a snake in the grass with no heart.

Kerry - Edwards is no longer an option. Its not what Edwards said, but how he said it. He is unquestionably a snake, a Dixiecrat revealed.

:confused:

Cheney was the one who didn't thank Edwards for coming to the debate, maybe cause Edwards beat the **** out of him, and made him flip-flop?

Edwards is a trial lawyer; IMO he is Kerry's biggest liability

Odd that Cheney didn't see any attack. In fact didn't he thank Edwards for his kind comments? I was watching the same debate wasn't I?

Cheney, crafty veep that he is, was just letting the public draw their own conclusions and letting Edwards hang himself.

Yeah rpm, when Edwards started saying what he said, I viewed it as a cheap way using Cheney's daughter to make a point about gay unions.

Cheney took it as a warm compliment, but I don't think he could do otherwise. He was probably peaved but maybe was expecting something like that to come up.

Low, very low of Edwards in my opinion.

So tweety shall we now mark you down in the Republitard category? Have you filled out all the neccessary paperwork? Dotted the "i"'s and crossed the "t"'s?

Very well then...

Welcome to the horde. That distinctly indistinct place where all the voices blend together and come crushing through in waves of.... well, pure mass as far as I can tell.

I should think that would be very comfortable.

I guess you could take it however you want, but it didn't seem to come off very underhanded to me.  It looked to me like he was trying to throw the question out as a non-issue and align his ticket with the current administration as being against same sex marriage.  If I missed something obvious, please explain it (anyone but Eagler, that is, LOLs don't do much explaining).

Are you saying he joined the majority? Is that necessarily a bad thing?

I think it was a mistake for Edwards to bring up Cheney's daughter. With Cheney's lack of comment other than to point out that Bush made administration policy he made it clear that he didn't agree with it. That can only be intrepreted as sympathy towards gays and undermines an attempt to portray the administration as anti-gay. Why not just point out Bush's support to amend the constitution against gay marraige and leave it at that. Poor judgement if you ask me.
