I saw an interview with Kerry and Edwards on Fox News yesterday. Although the questions were frank, I didn’t think they were extremely tough. Here are the impressions I came away with.
● When Bush criticizes Kerry Bush is being negative. When Kerry criticizes Bush, he’s just making comparisons.
● Kerry would pursue the war in Iraq smarter and better, but he’s not going to tell us how. He’s not going to debate the right way to do things in public. That last sentence is almost an exact quote.
● Kerry and Edwards are going to raise taxes on only two percent of the wage earners. Presumably, that’s because this group is too small to defend itself.
● Kerry promised to lower the cost of a college education. I was disappointed, when the interviewer did not follow up with a question about how, if you give people money to go to college, won’t that raise the cost of education? You know the law of supply and demand.
● No one wore times. Neither Kerry, Edwards, nor Chris Wallace, the interviewer, wore a tie. It somehow seemed strange.
