Cheap shot!!

[AdvantageTimberLou]

Debate #3

Did you guys see it when Kerry mentioned Vice President's Cheney's lesbian daughter when the talk was on a man and woman defining marriage.

Calling out Cheney's daughter was a cheap shot. Very cheap shot!!! This little personal attack was in hopes of trying to sway people who are against this type of behavior and telling them what the Bush Adminstration consists of. Kerry crossed the line bringing that up.

If Kerry really wants to get dirty lets talk about the outsourcing of jobs and why Heniz has factories outside the U.S. Maybe "W" should have grilled him on that topic. Kerry's own family owned company, living in a country they want to run, but has their company outside the U.S. Way to help the U.S. Kerry!!! He's a smooth talker I give him that but that's all he is.

I agree that it was a low blow to bring up any of the family members.

As for the Heinz company and outsourcing, Kerry and his wife don't hold controlling interest in the company, so they don't have the power to say anything about it. If you look back through recent posts there are some explaining the Heinz company situation.

Was a really cheap shot even for Kerry.

[Texan_Til_I_Die]

I think that statement, plus Kerry making a political statement when answering the question about faith will hurt him badly during the next few weeks. People will see that for what it really was, a window into his soul, and I don't belive they will like what they see.

And did you see Elizabeth Edwards response to the Cheney's being upset about the comment by Kerry (and Edwards during his debate)? Mrs Edwards said that the Cheney's reacted out of the shame they have for their daughter.

Their whole ticket, and their spouses, are devoid of honor.

They have no shame.

If they want to attack each other fine! But now Kerry took it to a family member! Thats BS!!!!! A desperate dem trying to save his hide!!!

What a coward!!!

[Swamphunter]

Kerry is an IDIOT!!! So is Edwards...

[slugshooter]

But it's OK for a moderator to bring it up in the Vice Presidential debate ? It's common knowledge, at least for anyone who follows politics, I don't really see what the big deal is.

LOL thats like compairing apples to oranges, The gay right issue is a hot topic this year, marrage for money isnt it, besides who cares maybe you just jealous you didnt marry a multi-millionaire.

Low blow...maybe maybe not. Politics is dirty, want proof read the disclaimer at the top of this page.

Have to agree with Aaron here in that there is no comparing. The comment by Kerry about Cheney's daughter should never have been made(period).

On the marrying into wealth, that is nothing new for the Kerry's anyways. The Forbes family was not exactly poor.

Rich people stick together. They all live in the same neighborhood and belong to the same country clubs and summer on the same islands. Is it any wonder that money marries money. It happens all the time, why is it such a big deal when Kerry does it.

I agree, it was a low blow and never should have been said, thats why I jumped slug for saying it wasnt. Perhaps he would feel diffrently if he had a daughter and comments were made about her to the entire nation. And Kerry saying that about his daughter and me saying that about Kerry being rich by marreying rich woman, wasnt my point, my point was before Kerry shoots his mouth off again, maybe he should look at his own foolish acts and comments. And Aaron, I dont date for money, I date for character and how they treat people. Money couldnt be further from my mind, in fact my ex Toni wasnt exactly rich, but she made the best out of it and made me a richer person by knowing her.

Not saying you do bud, im just making a point that there is a large difference. I dont know anyone who dates for money...actually ya i do but to avoid being sexist im going to end that line right there, anyone who marries for money is freakin crazy, i couldnt stand spending the rest of my life with some nut job just so i can be rich.

I think it was an obvious ploy to take attention off of his record.

By the way did you hear all the spin about Bush attacking Kerry on his record and that his voting record didn't matter.

Do they think we're really that stupid?

AMEN!

Most of us couldnt or wouldnt either.

Sluggo, Kerry has had money all his life, he did not have to marry into more wealth. Dude, think you watch way too much television. The idea that they were around each other like you suggest "summering" together and such would suggest to me that he is probably pretty darned shallow if in fact that was even the case of how they got to know each other. In the debate I personally did not really find Kerry's remark about "marrying up" to be very humorous.
