democratic "hen" party

Last nights debate on CNN was quite the spectacle! In my conservative republican opinion John Edwards was the winner!

Hillary spent way too much time making accusations toward Obama about what he did or didn't do, what he said or didn't say, and whether Bill was right or wrong about this or that. She should have chilled on Obama and concentrated on Hillary and her stand on the issues. I'm not sure she has a stand if Bill hasn't told her what it is... has she really found her "own voice" or has she found Bill's?

Obama spent way too much time defending himself against Hillary's and Bill's accusations. Most of the accusations were, claimed by Obama, to be untruths or half-truths that Hillary really couldn't prove but kept "harping" on. Every time Obama tried to explain his position Hillary had to jump in and state that his record or his web site didn't confirm his stand.

While Hillary and Obama were going at it John Edwards stayed on task, chastised Hillary and Obama for their arguing with each other. He stayed on the issues, explained his positions, how he arrived at those positions, and all Hillary and Obama could say is that they "agreed with Senator Edwards, but..." By that time their "but" was a waste of time and Edwards had hit and hit hard. Personally, I was rather proud of Edwards, even though I won't vote for him.

The one thing I got out of what all three candidates had to say was that they were going to spend a lot more tax payer dollars which can only means higher taxes for the middle, working class voters. One thing liberals are good at is spending taxpayer money!

Additional Note: Yesterday, I notice Obama had started running television ads on the Kansas City stations. Looks like we Kansas residents are going to get to suffer through TV ads intended for Missouri primary voters. Too bad the Kansas legislature voted to have a primary but didn't allocate any funds for it!
