For those of you still unfamiliar: McCAIN IS A CONSERVATIVE, MILITARIST REPUBLICAN!!!!! Democrats have to stop using his quotes like they're the utterings of someone above reproach. You want to show his hypocrisy, fine. But no one should boost his credibility any more. Sure, he fought well on campaign finance, but other than that, I've got no use for him. He makes public statements supportive of Kerry as long as the VP speculation is burning, then goes right back to his true effort: furthering the goals of himself and the GOP.

This is one of my "fantasy debates" about how I hope Edwards responds:

Moderator: You don't have much experience with regard to politics in Washington. Although Bush didn't have much either, we are now in a war on terror that he has handled with great leadership and the people trust him. Why should the people believe you could handle such situations with your lack of experience?

Edwards: Well, with all due respect, the Democrats have been fighting the war on terror since 1993. It's a shame it required the events of September 11, 2001 to get the Republicans to join us in that fight after we had warned them of the great threat A.Q. posed to our nation. Once we win the election, John Kerry and myself will work to make our country safe from all terrorist threats in our ports, chemical plants, and all the weak points in our infrastruture. We plan to do us this by repealing the tax cuts for the wealthy who don't need it. In fact, most of the wealthy in this country would prefer we use that money to protect our great nation. Now, granted, there are a few who disagree with that, but we really believe the the safety of our great nation is more important than Grover Norquist's bank account.

Moderator: You speak of the wealthy as if they are someone else, when, in fact, you are one of them. Why should we believe that you will raise your own taxes, when George Bush actually represents the average Joe in America?

Edwards: With all due respect, George Bush is from one of the wealthiest families in America. In fact, he hasn't earned any of his wealth on his own. Everything he has, he made through his father's connections. In fact, everything he has been placed in charge of was a failure. His father's friends and the Saudi's have always bailed him out. Now that America is failing under his leadership, are those same people going to bail us out? I seriously doubt it. Unlike George Bush, I have worked hard to be successful and protect the average American from corporate malfeasance. I believe everyone in this country deserves the right to be rewarded for their hard work, just like I have been. However, under George Bush's administration, the majority of hard working Americans are being punished by his policies while Geroge Bush serves the major corporations by allowing them to send American jobs overseas, just so their CEO's and shareholders can make more money. That's simply Un-American. In fact, if George Bush and Dick Cheney are truly , "Men of the People," then let them go on record now proving it. Let's hear Dick Cheney promise that after he leaves office, he will not accept one penny from Halliburton or it's subsidiary's and will not take a position with the company after he leaves. He won't do that, because he made a deal with them to turn the United States of America into the largest subsidiary of Halliburton and has engaged in illegal profiteering, including war profiteering, which is the most dispicable behavior any public official could ever engage in. That is why Dick Cheney hides behind a veil of National Security. The only thing this administration fears more than terrorism is democracy.
