Debates, October 5, 2004

Vice President Cheney and Senator John Edwards have just finished savaging each other for 90+ minutes--now the scraps are being cleaned up by the jackals who do post-mortems on TV.

This was a very close debate, as far as I was concerned. Both are good speakers, willing and able to make a point intelligently, both can debate well, and both do not give ground gladly.

I also exercised my right to vote today.

The two are linked.

The polling place in which I voted was out of the way, and hard to find. It was not near my residence; in fact, the first place I went to was the wrong place altogether.

No voter's pamphlets are sent out in this state--the Clerk of the County Court informed me that it wasn't done because it "wasn't required". No permanent voter's cards are issued here, either. The legislature meets every otheryear, and there are term limits on top of that. Yes, the citizen-employer gets royally frelled in this state!

I am going to contact my Senator, and ask him why this state of affairs is allowed. I want both of them to look into this, and change it.

Agreed, totally. Yet I think young Mr. Edwards spoke from the heart, whereas Mr. Cheney spoke through the filter of his Haliburton Stocks ( in trust of course).

No Voters Guide? Even Florida publishes one ! And our individual Counties do the same. Ill be interested in hearing the Senators justification.
