Edwards has NO chance against Cheney tonight
Cheney has won over a thousand debates, he is a master-debater, this guy could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves.

I have no faith in Edwards none whatsoever.

::sigh:: we might as well just give up and hand the election over.

Cheney has a cyber-tronic warp-engine heart which pumps extra lymph to his brain and makes him faster on his paws.

snarling at Edwards. I'm sure that Edwards will run cowering as would be only expected from a trial lawyer.

I got an idea... let's just give up having any candidate on the ballot at all! We'll just let the Republicans wins since, by your searing statement, it is a forgone conclusion that Commander Bunnypants will win the election. /sarcasm off

9. The goodness and compassion oozing from Darth Cheney will so
overshadow the boyish enthusiasm of Edwards by such a length that Edwards would do well to not even show up.

tsk, tsk, a tough evening ahead...

10. Edwards is nothing more than a smart,
well spoken, good hearted, good looking young man. No way he can beat the most scary, evil, black-hearted senior citizen in the country. He should forfeit now.

Edwards is gonna zipper the dick, and pinch it's head in the process. You men know what I mean, yaouchhh.

Edwards, the trial lawyer, will convict and pass sentence on the vp. It really is "Must See Tv."

18. George Lucas got it wrong.
In reality, there is no way the dark lord of the sith would have lost to Luke Skywalker. Simply put, the amount of combat and leadership experience aquired my Darth Vader would have made his defeat impossible. So is the case with Darth Cheney and Luke Edwards. Toppling the dark lord is a task that Edwards is simply not capable or doing.

When somone tries to rush to Edwards' defense, Cheney will shoot them with a freezing ray out of his left hand.

...and he'll be unstoppable (as long as the debate is after sundown). Has anyone advised Edwards to wear garlic for his own protection? Cheney only has to lose control for an instant....

24. cheney's dazzling smile
and open, warm demeanor will make the nation forget about Bush's slight attack of gas last thursday and will secure the election for them.

edwards' harsh and mean-spirited negativity will sink the campaign like a torpedoed swift boat.

25. You forgot to mention...
He is arguing from the strength of his dark convictions, which were proven right to him and the world by the 9-11 attacks. He is a prophet and a crusader, and his righteousness will sweep all opposing views from his dedicated path.

We're doomed, doooooommmmeedddddd.

31. Yes, it looks bad ...
Lon Cheney is a cunning linguist they say. A master of a thousand disguises! The mouth that roared. A Solar flare of phenomenal phrases.

He could sell war to Mahatma Ghandi and timeshares to the Amish. His brain is so big that he could think for TWO people! His tongue is like a flaming Pop-tart.

I would stress that Edwards had better beware of Cheney's venerable ventriloquism skills, also. Cheney will put words in his mouth.

Edwards is doomed! :scared: :nuke:

How he can take up the side of a run-of-the-mill little guy instead of the corporations that have made America great is beyond me. Someone needs to nail Edwards on this populist crap....and that someone is the Vice President of the U.S. of A.

40. I was looking forward to this debate more than the others, initially.
Edwards built a career out of making white collar criminal assholes squirm in their seats. Add to that the fact that I've never seen a man LESS populist than Cheney. . . it's going to be a hell of a show.

41. Are you guys talking about Dick Cheney?
Did I ever tell you about the time Dick Cheney took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Cheney takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half and sure enough someone constructs a bar around us. The day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Cheney yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found em!'

He orchestrated the merger between Unicef and Smith & Wessen. It was the sight of Cheney's naked body that drove Brian Wilson insane! Hell, he once inhaled a seagull!!

Cheney will crush all that comes before him.

Edited on Tue Oct-05-04 04:53 PM by dean_dem
Cheney: John, I am your father!
Edwards: NO! It can't be!
Cheney: Now join us, John, and we can rule the galaxy as father and son!
Edwards: Never! I'll die before I join you!

Hmmm, Cheney makes a good Darth Vader. I guess Bush can be Dark Helmet (Spaceballs).
