I know this is a joke, but to the extent that it misrepresents Edwards' comments out of conttext, it highlights one of the main reasons I won't be voting GOP this time around.
The GOP refuses to debate anything honestly. Almost all of its attack ads this year have been mischaracterizations of Kerry comments. How can I vote for a party which so transparently misrepresents everything its opponent says and addresses hard issue questions with nothin but broad platitudes and fear mongering? There's a core intellectual dishonesty there which is frightening. Either the GOP thinks we're all too stupid to spots its bullshit, or its so stupid it doesn't know how transparent its shtick is. Either way, thats not a party I want in charge.
The GOP had a golden opportunity to nail Kerry on his lack of a plan in Iraq, but instead, it decided to cheaply twist his comments and paint him as an out of touch snob. Thats not a presidential political debate - thats an 8th grade class president campaign debate.
