The mod just pushed Cheney on the Marriage protection amendment. Interesting :dubious:
The Supreme Court ordered the Constitution changed, eh? :wally
Oops, Cheney contradicted himself… the President sets the policies… the states decide. Edwards missed a chance to holler Gotcha.
:rolleyes: And Edwards is always answering the last question…or going completely off topic. Also, the lies seem pretty thick all around DtC…but I guess Edwards lies appeal to the Kerryites (just made that up btw :)).

So let me get this straight. Cheney thinks marriage should be a states’ rights issue unless those states actually want to legalize same sex marriage? 
Twins 2…dankees 0
So marriage is for a man and woman? Finally, a straight (heh) answer from Edwards.
Edwards hasn’t told a lie yet.
That was the contradiction.
And Edwards is back on taxes…DEAR LORD IN HEAVEN THE QUESTION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TAXES TRY TO KEEP UP!!!
He’s giving props to Cheney for the gay daughter and dodging the marriage bit with domestic partnerships. Still, fired about using constitution for politics.
Mod hits Edwards/Kerry about having it both ways with gay marriage/civil unions. I think she has won the debate.
:rolleyes: I can’t believe gay marriage is even an ISSUE here! Could this country be any more of a global laughinstock?
Can anybody see the timing lights? I can’t.
I’m getting whiplash from all the “let me go back to…”
Pretty much.
I actually think this one is much more up in the air than the last. I think it was a coup to have it seated. Cheney fidgets and smarms while standing, but looks contemplative while seated.
I think Edwards is coming stronger towards the end.
News flash: Diogenes thinks Bush is an evil liar and that Edwards is overwhelmingly winning this debate. Gosh, I wonder what Rush Limbaugh thinks?
I’m watching C-SPAN 2 and can see the lights and both candidates simultaneously.
And Cheney ends the round with a thank you to Edwards that sounded sincere. Impressive.
Very interesting rebuttal on gay rights there by Cheney. Well handled all things considered.
Speaking of lies…Whether you want to call it a ‘lie’ or ‘just making stuff up’, Edwards took creative license with the nature of the Northern Alliance not a few minutes into the debate.
