Thoughts on the VP Debate Last Night

I watched the entire thing last night as opposed to the 2000 debate where I watched Cheney wipe up Lieberman faster that a good piece of toast absorbs a runny egg yolk.

Do I think Edwards didn't stretch or embellish last night? No.

But Cheney deliberately lied any number of times. His first statement was a lie, that he'd never said there was a link between Iraq and al Qaeda. Even as he spoke this lie, he was there with qualifiers saying "even though we don't have video of Osama committing gross acts of fellatio on Saddam's limp dick, I think it's very clear Saddam paid Osama to do 9/11."

Then the stupidity by saying he'd never met Edwards, implying Edwards is too busy to meet his responsibilities. Right now, there's proof he met Edwards a number (7 noted tonight) of times, even personally acknowledged him before a meeting once. Even in the face of that today, Cheney says he can't recall.

I can find out where John Edwards was for 2 years after 9/11. Where the hell was Dick Cheney? Always hiding in an undisclosed location.

So if you think Cheney won last night, I guess it's a matter of ethics whether a deceitful win is a win. But I'm sure Bush/Cheney feel they won what was due them in 2000, too, while the American people by majority did not vote for them. And the Supreme Court didn't want the truth; they wanted to hand Bush the seat on a technicality. Remember? Their ruling basically stated it was not fair to Mr. Bush to continue to recount, but using a law that is meant to protect the fairness of voting for VOTERS not candidates. When voters tried to use the same law, they were told they could not.
