Dean/Bennett debated yesterday.

SNIP..."Noting that polls show most Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, Dean said Kerry is more thoughtful than Bush, who Dean said does not deserve a second term because he has done a poor job managing the economy and foreign policy.

SNIP...""Protecting America did not involve taking out Saddam Hussein, dreadful as he was," Dean said. "We are in the wrong war at the wrong time." The United States was once the moral leader of the free world, Dean said, but now "America and its leader are despised" around the world.

SNIP.."Bush is racking up huge federal deficits and giving tax cuts to the wealthy instead of investing in America's infrastructure, Dean told the owners and top executives of engineering firms from across the nation. He described the United States as the only industrialized nation that does not provide health insurance for all its citizens."

10. Yes, I know...like 8 million worth.
I did not catch the humor right away. Yes, Tahiti, it was pretty obvious. I am a little tired from 3 hurricanes, so I missed the OBVIOUS.

11. Well, that kind of "blow job" trifecta can understandably cause fatigue.
As a former (and always in my heart) Californian, I personally prefer having the earth move. :silly:

2. Why is Bennett even doing debates instead of gambling in Las
Vegas and playing around with his dominatrix? May be he is getting his occassional virtue attacks?

9. They have done that twice now. I agree, it is a ploy.
In fact, I remember a 3rd time, but can't find it now for proof. He was going to appear on March 18, but then he wasn't.

Now that is just plain odd.
