rhino 0 #76 October 6, 2004 QuoteHmm. Polls I've seen are mixed, suggesting a tie. The polls slant towards whatever candidate that particular station wants elected... Cheney OBVIOUSLY cleaned house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,120 #78 October 6, 2004 >The polls slant towards whatever candidate that particular station wants elected... FOX is reporting split polls. You really think they want Kerry elected? >Cheney OBVIOUSLY cleaned house. Cheney was a lot more forceful, but said a lot more untrue things. I suppose you could consider that 'winning.'

happythoughts 0 #79 October 6, 2004 QuoteCheney talked about education in the context of jobs because he said he believes that it is a very important way to increase employment. If we don't invest in education and make sure that schools are performing for our children, americans will not be qualified and cannot get the good-paying jobs. Since they are outsourcing textile worker jobs that require a high school education, it isn't a factor. QuoteA big problem that many companies have is trying to find skilled and educated workers in the U.S. -- since they can't fill these positions with qualified individuals they often have to look to other countries that have the technical skilled workers. That is one of the reasons they are often working to expand worker visa numbers. That is the lie that is told to justify importing tech workers. It is cost. The company pays the same to the contracting firm. The contracting firms pay less to the visa worker and pockets the difference. I find it astounding that anyone believes otherwise.

Zenister 0 #81 October 6, 2004 Quote One of the reasons this election is so critical to the left is because there will be several Supreme's who will retire over the next 4 years more likely only one... and perhaps not even that one unless his health greatly deteriorates or Bush is reelected so he can be sure his replacement follows his parties views...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

tunaplanet 0 #82 October 6, 2004 Quote Funny that Cheney, the master of facts, directed viewers to an anti-Bush site, don't you think? Actually if you were up to speed on the present you would know that it was a dead site at the time he said it. I know...I checked it out. Within a few hours Soros bought the site and made it an anti-Bush page. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tunaplanet 0 #85 October 6, 2004 Remember the subtle, backhanded comment Edwards made to Cheney about his daughter saying that he was happy to see him show support for her being gay. I would have given my left nut to see Cheney reply with, "You know Mr. Edwards, I am happy to see you show support for your wife despite her being obese." Man, good times.

PhillyKev 0 #86 October 6, 2004 QuoteYou're dead wrong. Of course, it's the same ole same ole. Yeah, whatever. QuoteIn the acrimonious presidential campaign, however, an Internet presence has emerged as a beacon of truth-sorting. I'm talking about Factcheck.org and its bird-dogging of presidential-campaign television commercials. Nonpartisan, nonprofit and endowment-funded, Factcheck.org is sponsored by the Annenberg Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C. It has been reviewing presidential-campaign ads for accuracy since December. Perhaps not surprisingly, it hasn't found a completely truthful commercial yet, from either the George Bush or the John Kerry campaigns (in some cases, ads that contain accurate information are nonetheless misleading, Factcheck.org has found). http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2001943167_paul31.html May 31, 2004. Unless Soros got in a time machine "hours after [Cheney} said it" last night. How do you explain this article from last May? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
