I'll Try to Make This Quick

Well, tonight's the big debate between Vice President Cheney and the man who would be king. I hope that Mr. Cheney purees him. John Edwards has been the biggest joke of a senator that the state of NC has had in a long time. Even Terry Sanford at least did something for the state, but Edwards has been campaigning for the Presidency ever since the good people of NC were duped into voting for the boy wonder.

In those rare instances where the "honorable" Senator Edwards has bothered to show up to vote, he has consistently voted straight along the guidelines of the left-wing playbook. (You don't become the 4th most liberal Senator in 6 years without trying REALLY hard. It is even harder when you are one of the most truant Senators on the Hill!) He hasn't seen a tax that he doesn't like - except the ones that he is supposed to pay. (It is notable that he has been delinquent in paying the taxes on his property, and that he has played some dodgy angles on the tax code to his benefit - even Kerry condemned him during the primaries. So, it is OK for all of the rest of us to pay taxes, but HE doesn't personally want to pay any.) The government is too small for him. What galls me most of all is that this jerk is going to get a Senate pension for the rest of his sorry life even though he hasn't done even a fraction of what Senator Elizabeth Dole has accomplished in 1/3 of the time. If he wanted to impress me, he could give that pension to 2 or 3 mill workers that were put out of work when Fieldcrest Cannon tanked last year. Which reminds me... Edwards didn't even show up down here for weeks after the plant closing was announced. Liddy Dole was here the next day at the latest - she may have even been here the same day. Senator of the people - RIGHT.

Edwards loves the hate crimes bill too. He has been pushing for that for years. He has yet to even try to explain why a "hate crime" differs from any other crime. In my opinion every crime is a hate crime. You don't kill someone, steal from them, assault them, or vandalize their property because of an overwhelming urge of love!

One of my favorites is the Edwards/Kerry plan for dealing with Iran's nuclear development. They actually want to GIVE them nuclear material and let them prove to the world that they are going to use it only for power plants. Yeah, right. GREAT idea. They must have hit their heads on the pavement when they fell off the turnip truck. People who think this way don't need to be in charge of government. They need to be stashed away on a finger lake somewhere far far away from people so that they can live in their little fantasy worlds.

Look, when Edwards starts spouting all of his kinder, gentler, people-centered government stuff tonight, remember that it is all a load of hogwash. He suckered NC with that before, and we learned all too quickly that it was a mistake. The only person Edwards is interested in is himself.

Anyway, it seems like there was alot of other stuff for me to write about tonight, so I'll have to think about it for a little bit and see what I can come up with. It was so clear on the drive back to the office!... More later!
