Debates Wrap Up...
I had a couple minutes to jot a thought down on my lunch break and here it is. After watching all four Presidential debates, I came to many conclusions. I really feel that both candidates accomplished what they needed to by the last debate. After a dreadful first debate, Bush came back and did make his case for re-election. Agree or not, he did make his point why he thinks he deserves another four years. I obviously don't agree with his conclusion, but thought he had better performances the last two debates. Kerry was able to shatter the caricature the Bush campaign had tried hard to stick to him (Flip-flopper, tax and spend liberal, etc..). The people saw a man who was nothing like the way Bush had portrayed him. As a result, we have a tied race. ..
Some people (the "liberal" press, right wingers) are having issue with the fact that Kerry brought up Cheney's lesbian daughter's name in the debate. I really am having a hard time understanding what he did that was so out of bounds. Cheney brought up his daughter in the Vice debate and even thanked Edwards for his kind words about his family. Now Cheney comes out and says he's mad that Kerry brought her name in to the campaign? Kerry was respectful with his remarks and people (again the "liberal" media) are treating this like it's some disease that shouldn't have been brought up. Can someone explain this to me? Yet again, the press has chosen to cover a non issue extensively, while real issues like the fact the deficit hit it's credit limit today and will cause the govt. to borrow even more money to pay it's bills take a back seat in the headlines. The media in this country is a joke!

Thought I'd quick let you know. I agree. Who cares if Kerry mentioned the lezbo daughter. I thought it was public knowledge she was gay. Apparently however, there is kind of an unwritten rule that you're not supposed to bring the other candidate's family into a political campaign; especially in a debate, but whatever.
What I thought was more interesting, was that Kerry's whole point is that being gay is who you are, and how you are born; not a choice you make. Later, in a post debate interview, Kerry was asked if he regrets mentioning Cheney's daughter, in the debate. He said no. He said he thought that he had brought it up with regard for the love the Cheney's have for their daughter (which he never mentioned in the debate), and to "explain to the people, the choices people make in life." I hate to use the term flip flopper, but....
