Impeach George Bush
Cheney v Edwards
Each side claims victory. Cheney made only a few really whopping errors - Edwards didn't make any. Clearly, Kerry/Edwards won the first two debates. Can they turn it into an election win?

Candidate: TheTIP
Republicans claim victory.
As Cheney's voting record was recounted by John Edwards, Cheney smiled wryly. Red meat for Cheney's Republican supporters - he doesn't need to explain his votes against a Martin Luther King holiday or in support of Nelson Mandella - both anathema to the Republican Right Wing. Cheney voted to reduce funding for the Department of Education? Of course he did. The Right Wing agenda calls for closing down the Department of Education. Meals on Wheels - A welfare program!
The same voting laundry list that appalls Democrats warms the cockles of good Republicans' hearts. That's why both Republicans and Democrats can claim a victory. But what of the rest of the debate?
John Edwards, a newcomer to Washington, undoubtedly held his own against the Republican warhorse who has worked the Washington system since Richard Nixon made phone calls to his Plumbers in 1972. With all his experience, Cheney was unable to break through the positive optimism of the younger man. Edwards appeared Kennedy-esque, a promise of Camelot to come, compared to the old and ailing incumbent.
Meanwhile, the Presidential candidate, George W. Bush is furiously "working hard" to make up his dismal showing last week. Clearly the Feather Weight, Bush was unable to defend his own Administration's record on Iraq, the web of deceit first revealed by Treasure Secretary Paul O'Neill more than a year ago was further disclosed by former CPA Paul Bremer and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld during this week's news cycle.
Bush will have to defend his domestic agenda this Friday against the Kerry/Edwards first string, John Kerry. Bush is shooting blanks, however. The Republican driven Medicare Reform, Ecological and Energy records and No Child Left Behind are indefensible, as are his budgets for the last four years.
Republicans as well as Democrats were appalled as Republican Whip Tom DeLay broke every written and unwritten rule to pass the now discredited Medicare Bill. Elders are finding out just how badly they have been betrayed by the Republican Congressional/Pharmaceutical coalition. DeLay is under investigation by the Ethics Committee for his part in the arm-twisting necessary to pass the bill, and a criminal investigation is underway at the Justice Department to determine if criminal laws were broken by DeLay to achieve a repeat of the 1994 Republican upset, the gerrymandering in Texas necessary to redraw the Texas map to move six Congressional seats from blue to red in 2004.
Tom DeLay, we all knew Newt Gingrich. You, sir, are no Newt Gingrich!
Team Bush/Cheney/DeLay is in trouble. Against the ropes. On Friday Kerry could deliver a knock-out blow. Round three. Ding.

tony
although your writing is very
educated and well versed... the underlining
difference between the clinton administration and
the dubya administration is for whom were these
politics and actions for: clinton = american
people.
dubya = his own personal agenda
and his daddy.
although clinton did
conduct certain activities in the oval office and
lied about it, it is evident that his lying about
what he did somehow doesn't effect the american
person quite like the lies that we hear
daily.

ahh, it's so
confusing!
every year an independent tax
watchdog group analyzes the average
tax
burden on americans, and then calculates ! the
"tax freedom
day".
this
is
the day after which the money you earn
goes to you, not the
government.
this
year, tax freedom day was april 11th. that's the
earliest it
has
been
since1991.
its latest day ever was may 2nd,
which occurred in
2000.
notice any
thing special about those dates?
recently, john kerry gave a speech in which he
claimed americans
are
actually paying
more taxes under bush, despite the tax cuts.
he
gave no
explanation and provided no
data for this claim.
another
interesting fact: both george bush and john kerry
are
wealthy
men.
bush owns only one
home, his ranch in texas. kerry owns 4
mansions,all worth
several million dollars.
(his ski resort home in idaho is an old
barn
brought over from europe in pieces. not
your average a-frame).
bush paid $250,000 in
taxes this year; kerry paid $90,000. does
that
sound
right? the man who wants to
raise your taxes obviously has figured
outa
way to avoid paying his own.
p-ss this on. only 27 days until the
election.
"tony newbill"
howdy dave , i now more than ever believe
that the reason mr. kerry
wants in the
whitehouse is to change the drug importation
policies to
allow french canadian drug
companies to bring their drugs in , and the
heinz corporation is going to be involved as a go
between to
facilitate
the transactions
and act as quality control through their
doctors
within
the heinz institute . the
uk is loaded with drug companies , that over
the last 10 years have isolated themselves from
the us drug markets by
taking their
manufacturing out of here by merging with foreign
drug
companies in the uk . the heinz
corporation is a big business in the
uk
, and i think the heinz corp is poised to invest
in major drug
companies
in france , and
import a nutritional brand of supplemental drugs ,
and
also make the policy changes to allow
importation through canada
through
nafta
. this would mean billions to heinz , because
their is trillions
involved . the bitch is
that it would mean lots of layoffs in us
based
drug manufacturers , and that goes
totally in the wrong direction as
far
as
what kerry edwards say about being for the middle
cl-ss and
exporting
jobs out of the us .
sobs , i knew they were not in this race for
the
us
, only to manipulate the us to
open the drug and nutritional
supplemental
drug markets for the benefit of everyone but the
us
people
. this makes total sense when
you think about teresa heinz kerry
changing
political parties from a republican to a democrat
2 years ago
.
money is always the root
of all greedy acts . i can see why mr.kerry
says he can get the heads of foreign countries to
join up with him ,
if
he is going to
open the door to this kind of importations for
these
countries companies . what a boondoggle
. have a great day in the usa
.
