He said that was part of a record
that led Kerry to oppose the first Per
sian Gulf War in 1991 and “always
being on the wrong side” of defense
issues.
On domestic issues, Edwards said
Bush has presided over a loss of jobs
during his administration — the first
president to do so since Herbert
Hoover sat in the White House. He
also said more Americans are in
poverty and living without health in
surance than when the president
took the oath of office in 2001.
But Cheney said jobs are being cre
ated and that a Kerry-Edwards admin
istration would seek to raise taxes.
Edwards denied that even before
the vice president said it, noting that
the Democratic proposal calls for
rolling back the Bush tax cuts on
only those earning $200,000 or
more a year.
Cheney, whose daughter, Mary, is
a lesbian, spoke supportively about
gay relationships and said that “peo
ple ought to be free to choose any
arrangement they want.” At the same
time, Bush supports passage of a con
stitutional marriage to ban gay mar
riage, and Cheney said, “He sets poli
cy for this administration, and I
support him.”
Edwards said it was obvious that
the Cheneys loved their daughter
and that “you can’t have anything
but respect” for them. “I believe
marriage is between a man and a
woman and so does John Kerry,”
Edwards said. But, he added, “We
should not use the Constitution to
divide this country.”
Edwards also charged that Cheney,
as the chief executive officer of Hal
liburton, pushed to lift U.S. sanctions
against Iran, did business with coun
tries that were "sworn enemies of the
United States,” and that Halliburton
paid millions of dollars in fines for
providing false information “just like
Enron and Ken Lay,” the now indict
ed former chief.
Cheney accused Edwards of “try
ing to throw up a smoke screen” and
said “there’s no substance to the
charges. ”
Kerry and Edwards have sought to
link Cheney to Halliburton as a sym
bol of corporate greed and insider
connections. Halliburton has report
ed making more than $7.6 billion so
far from U.S. government contracts
in Iraq.
The Republican said Kerry voted to
authorize the war, then voted against
an $87 billion aid package for Iraq
and Afghanistan. He said Democratic
primary politics were at work at that
point. “If they couldn’t stand up to
pressures that Howard Dean repre
sented, how can we expect them to
stand up to al-Qaida?” he said.
Cheney, 63, and Edwards, 51, sat a
few feet apart around a semicircular
table on a stage at Case Western Re
serve University. Gwen Ifill of PBS,
moderator for the evening, faced
them.
It was the only debate of the cam
paign for Cheney and his Democrat
ic opponent.
Kerry and Bush debated for 90
minutes last week in an encounter
widely viewed as a victory for the De
mocratic challenger. The four-term
Massachusetts senator has gained
ground in the polls in the days since,
narrowing the gap with the president
in some nationwide surveys and
moving into a statistical tie in others.
Bush and Kerry will debate twice
more, on Friday in St. Louis and Oct.
13 in Arizona.
