Whatever you say, man. Just don't feel too upset if Kerry loses, you seem to have a lot invested in 'the truth'.
Example 3: Cheney saying to Edwards "I never met you in person until today" Except he was caught on video with Edwards.

He had the chance to respond and all he did with just name things Cheney voted for or against (Meals On Wheels for seniors, etc.).
^^ no actually the truth is Edwards was almost never present during the senate during the past year while he was campaigning. The same is true of Kerry. The reason being. Most times Senate votes are not crucial. For example. Sometimes you know a bill is going to win by a huge margin and your vote won't really effect the outcome. Kerry/Edwards missed a lot of votes this year because they were campaigning, and because a lot of votes just didn't matter. Again Bush manipulates the info to make them look like uncaring assholes. Kerry/Edwards showed up to vote on a few important, closely contested issues, and cast their votes.Just like in NYS for the avg. joe u already know Kerry is going to win NYS. So your vote really doesn't matter, and no one claims your a bad person if you don't show up on Nov. 2.
Edwards answered that question a at later date. His response was a long the lines of. "Cheney wanted the debate to get sidetracked on issues that just weren't important. I was surpised when he said it, but I had my mind on debating other issues" You can watch the video of Cheney and Edwards together. If you don't bleieve me let me know and I'll post it.
props to you Ant.. you give out well written, well structured, caring elaborate arguments without insulting all the time, that's something that hardly happens anywhere. good to have you here to make it happen here.

I'm from North Carolina, Edwards is one of my senators. He's frequently been absent since the beginning of his term, and he's never, ever caught dead in North Carolina. He doesn't even live here in the 'off' season. Nice try, but you're wrong. The man never showed up for our state.

The man never showed up for our state.Here is an article by the Associated Press, written in 2003 and featured in a journal from your state of North Carolina, that talks about Edwards attendance record. Explains how prior to becoming a candidate, his attendance record was at 95%! Also explains that even though he is allowed to miss Senate meetings while campaigning, he still makes it back to vote in items that are important for his state.http://www.journalnow.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=WSJ%2FMGArticle%2FWSJ_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1031770817111Cheney is the senate prez.
