First, the thing with Cheney's Daughter. When Edwards zinged him about it, that's exactly what it was meant as, a zing. It was a little shady, and people thought it was childish and that Edwards shouldn't have messed with Cheney's family. And they were exactly right for thinking so. Edwards shouldn't have played there. Out of bounds, big guy.

Now, on the other hand, we have Kerry's very polite and respectful mention of Cheney's daughter in the latest debate. He said what he did in defense of gay rights, saying they're all God's children or some BS like that. Now everyone is all pissed about Kerry mentioning Cheney's kid. This is stupid, as Kerry was respectful and I believe that he was saying it partly to make up for Edwards' bad call.

Second, Bush is lying about the budget and refusing to admit things he did wrong and things he didn't say. Both candidates are making up lies to tell about the other. Bush is better at this, and his lies are less silly. The republicans plan to attack Kerry's vietnam junk, where apparently he came out and told everyone that our troops were doing horrible things over there. Now, I don't know anyone who claims that our soldiers didn't do horrible things over there. It is perfectly fitting with Kerry's integrity tagline that he would do exactly this type of thing. And personally, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Third, the Flip-Flopper issue. Attacking a candidate for actually thinking on his own, changing his mind when he gets more information, and trying to make the right decision instead of just towing the party line? All of those are good things! I wish Bush would admit when he's wrong.

Later.
