John Edwards attempted to Kill Vice President Dick Cheney at the VP debate last night by trying to induce a heart attack in the poor old fellow. Cheney fought back the angina attacks and managed to win the debate and came across as a warm, Santa Clause-like granfathery figure. Edwards came across as a potential assassin. This was a wrestling match with no physical contact, but Cheney won the debate by going back to the conservative core of the republican party, in stark contrast to the neo-conservative slant that President George W. Bush presents. Just be glad that Lieberman wasn't vice president at the time of Sept. 11, 2001. Cheney knew what to do. Lieberman would have banned a few more movies and TV shows and Gore would have helped his wife ban music. In effect, Bush and Cheney may not be perfect, and their intell may sometimes lack substantial backing, but a Gore/Lieberman administration would have made us so much more like the Taliban controlled era of Afghanistan than we, as Americans, would have stood for. Well, maybe the die-hard demoncrats would have stood for it, but none of the true blue-blooded citizens that make our nation great. Congratulations to Mr. Cheney, and to think that they posted his obituary three years ago. Reports of his death may have been greatly overstated.
