Dodd: ‘Not the Same John Edwards’

John Edwards has changed.

Please. He’s one of the few people out there pointing out the obvious truth — the establishment dems and repubs are just flip sides of the same coin. In both cases, the corporations and their money control the agenda. We need to upend this whole system to see real positive changes in this country. Edwards has changed for the better, he is much more passionate about issues that really matter to our people, and he’s got nothing to lose. I just wish the media would give him half as much attention as they give to our “anointed” candidates.

I don’t blame him for not supporting Hillary. I don’t support Hillary.

Just ask yourself these two questions:
-Are you happy with the status quo in this country?
and:
-Do you think that Hillary really wants to change the status quo?
Edwards may have become more angry, but he is getting “the treatment” that any candidate gets who truly supports change. Just remember that the people who are paid analysts for the media profit under the current system. ‘nuf said.

Edwards is a rich pretty-boy populist-wannabe Buffoon!
Today he threatened that, if elected, he would take away healthcare benefits from members of Congress, unless they pass Universal Healthcare in 6 months.
Never mind that the President has Absolutely no power to take away Any benefits from members of Congress! He must assume we are all morons. It’s all about cheap headlines.

I am a democrat and do not and will not support Hillary Clinton. I will not blindly vote for her in the general election simply because she is a democrat.Because “Honesty and Integrity” matters and I do not feel that she is honest and do beleive she lacks integrity. I care deeply for this country and voting for a “President” overrides party loyalty. I would encourage all to choose carefully and not forget the past 16 years. I hope John Edwards feel the same.

John Edwards is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I liked him in 2004, too bad he went and got all negative. I’ll support Hillary and call it a day.

It never ceases to amaze me how short people’s political memories are. I’m a dyed in the wool Democrat and loved much of what Bill Clinton stood for and accomplished, but who in their right minds could want to go back to the extremely bitter partisanship that the Clintons evoked? Contrary to the spin coming out of Hillary’s campaign, the Clintons don’t hold a monopoly the ability to move our country in a more progressive direction. Ironically, given the visceral level of hatred associated with the Clintons, she may be the only Democrat who couldn’t move us in a more positive direction if she were elected.

Sore Loser, that what he is!

I stopped supporting John Edwards over two months ago. When he started going after Bill Clinton, that was it for me.
My son said John Edwards doesn’t even seem like a Democrat anymore.

This “can’t we all just get along” stuff is nonsense. Candidates like Edwards that are genuinely passionate about issues like providing truthful answers to voters and getting lobbyists out of politics, are not just going to roll over and admit that they would endorse a candidate who takes the opposiste position on such matters. To do so would prove that they don’t really stand for anything, they’ve just staked out their positions for political expediency.
Some of the greatesst and most genuine political theater of recent times occurred in at the 1980 Democratic Convention when, after a hotly contested two-horse race for the nomination, the nation waited to see whether one of the greatest Democrats of all time, Ted Kennedy, would endorse the incumbant president, Jimmy Carter, and hold his hand in unity at the close of the convention. (In his address to the convention, Kennedy called for a Democratic win in November, never mentioned Carter by name, nd did not hold hands in unity. Carter, hamstrung by the Iran hostage crises and high inflation fed mainly by the creation of OPEC/subsequent much higher oil prices, predictably got destroyed by Reagan in the general election that year.)
There are parallels, primarily principled challengers trailing/losing to nominees that, because of their high negatives, were reasonably sure to lose in November. Democrats marched off the cliff in lock-step with Carter in 1980, and may be poised to do the same with Hillary Clinton in 2008.

Let’s get real folks. This country has gone through a period of ineffective leadership for the past sixteen years. We have had a total collaspe of moralleadership during this period that have very litttle to do with the political parties. We simply have had leaders who were more interested in self promotion,disregard for the truth and in several ways simply incomponent. Hillary Clinton was and remains directly linked to this dismal period and I beleive it would be a mistake to elect her as president. She has demonstrated that she lacks the capacity to accept responsibility for her positions and she will retract her positions if they prove unacceptable or unpopular. She has a history of blaming others for her and her husband failures.It will be another failure of our system if she is elected. The American people need truth and a leader who will be open and honest in his/her approach to governing. A “Democrat” who will not vote for Hillary am I.
