200k = top 20% of income in the US.

That's not a millionaire sitting by their pool. edwards just promised to raise these people's taxes - don't mind they are the people who CREATE JOBS. Good job kerry/edwards - good plan on creating jobs :roll:

[gistech1978]

ah dick wont talk about his daughter either.

 

[Kanalua]

Wow..Cheney avoiding the gay issue...

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Wow. Cheney obviously does not like being forced to toe the ticket line on gay marriage.

 

[Kanalua]

Cheney is good...

 

[Infohawk]

Yes Cheney keeps evading ALL questions. How many times is Eiffel going to say, "is that it?" Obfuscation as ckg would say.

 

[Nightfall]

It looked like Cheney was uncomfortable on that gay marriage topic.

She has asked that question quite a bit tonight.

 

[Ninepepper]

So...

criminal jurors are level-headed enough to pass a death sentence

BUT civil jurors are not level-headed enough to determine how much $$ grandma is entitled to?

 

[CADsortaGUY]

He has a plan to reduce the amount of cases...

...only take the big ones

Strange the way he used the whole allotment to thank Edwards for his kind words.

That was a weird point by Edwards, Cheney certainly looked stressed about it. Cheney handled it the best he could.

I don't know....I don't know how military pay is taxed.

Speaking from someone who has two family members over in Iraq, he may be right after hearing the figures. Course, I don't know how millionaires get taxed since I don't know any of those.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Edwards was pretty strong on the tort reform issue IMO.

Oh no we can't afford our $10 million house. Listen, millions of people make less than 20,000 a year and can barely afford to RENT a home. Why don't you worry about the person that can barely make ends meet before you worry about the guy choosing between the 10 room mansion or merely the 5 room house.

Yup. Cheney's role is basically to attack Kerry and Edwards. Not to give any substance. Not even to talk about Bush. I havne't learned anything about the Bush plan for the next four years.

 

[GoPackGo]

The lawsuit example Edwards used had nothing to do with medical liability reform...instead it was swimming pools...he must have been suing for someone rich...us poor folks can't afford a pool

 

[dbk]

Edward looks like he's gelling along nicely.

 

[imported_judge]

edward if you have health plan, give us main points

 

[dbk]

Ok you both took advantage of the tax loop-hole. NEXT!
