Derailed

So now that you've all had a day or so to let it sink in, what do you all think about that debate last night?

It's clear that Cheney was basically lying his ass off the entire night. And it's also clear that Edwards has the stones to go toe-to-toe with Darth Veep.

What's really interesting is that Edwards went out there, basically, to talk up Kerry and their plan for America. Meanwhile, Cheney spent basically the entire night either launching ad hominem attacks or repeating the same, misleading catch phrases that he and Bush have been peddling for the last four years. How about Cheney's utter inability to speak to anything that resembled a realistic domestic agenda?

Let's forget about the lie when Cheney claimed that the debate was the first time he had ever met Edwards. How about the "every Tuesday" he's presiding over the Senate bit? How many times do YOU count him presiding over the Senate on Tuesdays since 2001?

The Administration is running scared. All kinds of shit is coming down on them right now. There's that worthless "major policy speech" Bush gave today that, for all intents and purposes, was just a stump speech renamed so the networks would carry it. There's the fact that Paul Bremer came out today to admit that we never had enough troops in Iraq. There's the new CIA report that Iraq was a diminishing threat when we invaded. There's the series of lies that we saw from Cheney in the debate. The American Public is not going to believe their lies for much longer.

The wheels are coming off, folks. The tide, as they say, has turned. The polls are looking good. Big John has the big mo' going into Friday's tilt. We can win this thing. Get out there and volunteer. We've all worked so hard and we only need to work a little harder and we can make sure that truth trumps fiction in 2004.
