John Edwards brought home the Bacon in last night’s VP debate!!

DAILY REPORT FOR 10.6.04. Cheney’s tactics in the debate were evade, attack and evade. When the Vice President was confronted with reports that L. Paul Bremer stated that the United States had “paid a big price” for insufficient troop levels after the war, Cheney refused to respond directly. When Edwards confronted Cheney on his ties with Halliburton and that Halliburton paid millions of dollars in fines for providing false information "just like Enron and Ken Lay, Cheney again declined to give us a substantive response.

Edwards again and again characterized Cheney’s defenses of the Iraq war and the U.S. diplomacy that led up to it as “distorted,” “misleading” and “wrong.” Cheney was unable to do anything but claim the Administration had done the right thing and we (Bush/Cheney) have the experience to fight the war on terror. Edwards stated at one point: "Mr. Vice President, I don't think the country can take four more years of this type of experience." I quite agree Senator Edwards. Good job!!

In the debate, Cheney encouraged voters to look at the facts on Halliburton at Factcheck.org. It is worth a look. Factcheck.org criticizes both candidates for being fast and loose with the facts from time to time. It seems Bush/Cheney are faster and looser with the facts then Kerry/Edwards; but you can decide for yourself.
