The VP Debate
This sums up the debate:
You aren't telling the truth. No, YOU aren't.
In other words, nobody won. This was a non-event. But it does sum up the fact that there is no monopoly on the truth. Rather, the truth depends on your point of view. I do not think that one can make a truly good argument that Bush lied to get us into war, but if you are a peace-nic, then you hate Bush and what the Kerry campaign says is the truth. But it's not the truth. It's just rhetoric.
