Elizabeth Edwards: “Republicans Scare Me”

Elizabeth Edwards: “Republicans scare me.”
Republicans: “The feeling is mutual.”

John Edwards — unifying the people by making sure nobody likes his wife.
-=Mike

Democrats scare me. They are terrorist appeasers! They are more concerned about making sure a terrorist is not waterboarded than they are concerned about the safety of Americans, or about preventing a future incident.
The fact is, fortunately, we won’t be hearing from loud mouth Elizabeth Edwards in 60 days because it will be all over for her loser husband!

Mrs. Edwards needs to stick a sock in it. It’s amazing that she can say anything she wants and get away with it.

Ever since 2004, I have felt she is just plain nasty. And I think less of her husband, especially after the story in Newsweek about his odd behavior with Kerry. Fortunately, Americans – or 85 percent of them at least- apparently feel the same way. They’ll be out of the picture in a few months.

Republicans SHOULD scare her; they tend to expose and clarify the myths of populism. But her fellow democrats should scare her even more; they’re about to relegate her and her shallow running mate to a footnote.

No First Lady She. Now or ever.

If she gets too scared she can rush back to her ridiculous compound & raise the draw bridge.

you inform the enemy how to escape us, you try to give the vote to felons, you leave the border wide open- 50 yrs of dem rule in congress- did nothing but try to destroy the USA.

haha, John Edwards can stand up to Republican attacks in a general campaign, but won’t go near Fox or let one of its employees ask him questions. His courageousness should be a model to us all.

In less than a month her husband can go back to being the page on 30 Rock.

Remember that Elizabeth Edwards made similarly hateful comments about her non-wealthy neighbors.

Edwards is evil and why he will never win.

Am I asleep or is this actually happening? A proven female liar and thief running for office with the help of a pervert husband who can’t control his zipper(s), The one on his pants and the one on his face.
We have a pretty boy ambulance chaser who wants the same office. His wife fills the pimp-in-charge role. She also has a runaway mouth.
It scares the heck out of me that these two blossoms want to head the most powerful nation in the world.
Please tell me I am dreaming.

Shysters scare me! Look it up!

Poor little rich girl is afraid of the big bad GOP? I feel actually sorry for this woman – her husband thinks more about preening in front of the crowds than staying with his family as his wife slowly loses her battle with cancer. Hopefully the servants are keeping up their vast properties while they are on the road campaigning (he’s been like an Iowa native now for 7 years!). In a couple months, they’ll be but a footnote in history (again).

Huckabee, like John Edwards, is an idiot. But I think Elizabeth is putting words in his mouth regarding inner city violence.

Elizabeth and John Edwards scare me. Democrats scare me. When are we going to start charging Democrats and politicans with treason

She forgot to mention that Republicans eat babies and use puppies to fuel their SUVs!

it is amazing!
Democratic shills and operatives get away with outrageous, idiotic, and slanderous remarks about? One half of the United States population?
what the H…would they do if given presidential power?
drive this country right off the cliff!
Evita belongs in Argentina
, Chavez belongs in Venezuela and the Democrats along in history’s dustbin.

The feeling is mutual Mrs. Edwards, the things you promote are scary to many of your fellow citizens. That people like you think you are even capable of bringing this country together is laughable.
Doctors being sued out of the profession, high taxes, energy shortages, no national defense, homosexual marriage, gun control, shredding the constitution, socialist health care and big government.
Hey, I guess attacking Oprah didn’t bring the results you wanted so move on to the next target. Republican voters will deal with Mike Huckabee don’t you worry.
It’s easy to attack others when you have an illness and aren’t on the ballot.

I can’t understand it. The woman is dying of cancer, yet she’s still going on and on about politics. If I were her I’d gather my family and friends about me and do the least stressful things possible until the end – gardening, cooking, music, reading, etc. Instead of traipsing around on a bus tour she should be spending every extra minute with her children. Her husband should put her first, not be running for President. Man, Democrats are wacky! Their priorities are messed up.

“We have to have a candidate who stands up, can take the punches and give it back to them.”
Edwards couldn’t beat Republicans the first time around, why should anybody think he can beat them the next time?

Elizbeth, can we just stop the name calling?

Mrs. Edwards, I find your husband the scariest of them all, is he a Republican by any chance?

Actually I would wish they all would get scared of ‘We the People’ who have the final say. For once I would just like to vote for the best choice instead of the least of evils.

I’m scared that some of these wacko angry commenters might be my neighbors.

Who cares what this woman has to say? Certainly not I as she and her husband are TOTAL LOSERS! In a few more weeks, when John Edwards doesn’t win a primary or caucus, he will be relegated to the status of a “hazbin” once again and I will celebrate! Then he can, once again, go back to suing doctors and contributing to making all our medical expenses go sky high. It is because of the likes of him that health care costs are so high. So Democrats, you can thank the likes of John and Elizabeth Edwards for your continuing health care expense.
John Edwards, President? What a laugh! Not even in your dreams!

nbc, are you really ann coulter? come on, ‘fess up. you sound like ann coulter

Still engaged in poltical pimping for her effeminate and hypocritical wimpy spouse. Hoping that they return to their sugar shack after the “poverty tour” ends up on blocks. Pass the hairspray on the way out the door and leave the rest of us alone. Sheesh!

Elizabeth Edwards is kind of scary. She acts like not believing in evolution is strange — even though it takes more faith to believe in evolution than it does creationism. Karl Rove doesn’t scare me, but her husband’s socialism certainly does. But not to worry — she and her husband will be out of the picture soon and then she’ll be out of the limelight, stuck on the back of the paper with her strange comments.

Elizabeth Edwards is certainly demonstrating what a good First Lady isn’t; what with her mouth and inane remarks. Democrats have a history of non-leadership, terrorist appeasers and credit-grabbing liars, nasty with hidden (they think we are fooled)agendas, back-stabbers and dirty tricksters to anyone who don’t think,act like them. Scary .. more than .. get who you vote for but Democrat voters will still blame Republicans for anything and everything.

How can you not vote republican? I mean they made the dollar so strong over the past 7 years. They also made America loved throughout the world. Dont forget about the way they handle natural disasters like Katrina. I guess you’d have to be some “loony liberal” to not vote for such strong leadership. Also everyone knows that people used to ride around on Dinosaurs.. Duh! Evolution… more like schmevolution!

She is a buffoon

Isn’t it great to be an American?

Then we cut taxes for the richest Americans. Then we roll around in our own feces.. after all they are American feces.

Just one more reason why I choose never to vote again.

Elizabeth Edwards is “Hillary Lite.” she’ll do or say anything to get into the White House, which is probably smaller than her own 29000 sq ft mansion…..she’s annoying and is hurting her husband. Who elected her to anything?

So Republicans scare you and Fox News scares your husband.
Sorry, dear, but you and your husband are what scare the rest of us normal Americans.

Yeah, those comments will really bring the country together. Republicans scare her but radicals who have called for the destruction of our country..all of us, regardless of party. She is irrelevant and her sleazy, slimeball husband doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of becoming president of anything.

The GOP candidates are sorely lacking but are still much more serious and viable than the Socialist DemocRATS..
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
believe a liar’s lies
let them promise you the moon
give them your precious votes
.

Lawyers who go after doctors in phony malpractice suits, putting OB-GYNs out of business are what scare me.
And yet these two claim to be all about women’s issues. Riiight.
And one question for Mr. Edwards. If the American system is so “rigged” against the poor, then how did you get so rich?

I didn’t know she was still alive.

for a sick lady she has one big mouth.

Look what the democrats have done to my beloved state where my ancestors date back to the 1700s. New Jersey was once a gem and now it possibly has the worst government of all the states – with democrats ruling for quite awhile. These dumb guys (democrats) have done everything that the Edwards pine for, and the place is a mess. A huge amount of people are leaving, and the reason is that the cost of living is ridiculous and the government has been corrupt and the ignoramus citizens keep voting in the creeps and numbskulls. Consider yourselves lucky if you are a republican state, and I really mean that!

NJThinker, yes it’s a shame what is happening to the states run by Democrats. It’s all the proof you need. Meanwhile people flock to the red states. Gee, I wonder why.

Ohhh, lawdy Miss Edwards! I’m ascared o’ them republicans!

As a former lifelong Republican, I can’t wait for the Democratic landslide in 2008.

Good!
What scares me is you and your husband are supposed to be intelligent, supposedly with a moral compass, adults. When you have to lie about what Coulter (who has made her own bed in my opinion) said to get folks to rally around you – and that was a pretty pathetic rally – you aint got it. Then, using your cancer as a political chip to stay in the game? Jeees. I could have easily prayed for her full recovery and God’s speed in doing so, but this woman sounds more and more like that Heinz Kerry chick who chould fit both feet and half her a$$ in her mouth.
Tell your husband to stick to what he knows, fixing his hair.
Richard hit the nail square on the head. This is the most pathetic field the American people have ever had to choose the lessor of two evils from. Her husband, aside from being a complete scumbag and having little credibility, ir easily the worst of the bunch of the worst. Yes, I know it makes know sense, but we are talking about the silly little class warfare warrior who pretends to be on one side.
E

Uhhh, dball, you might want to get your facts together lest you look like a fool.
Sure, FEMA dropped the ball, but it was the state and local dems who created that mess, not the fed. The feds responsibility begins AFTER the disaster, not before. The state and local dems just sat IGNORING THE REQUESTS BY THE ADMINISTRATION TO EVACUATE! But, let’s not let a little thing like facts get in the way of an less than intelligent response, liberals never do.

BOTH the Democratic and the Republican parties scare me equally. It seems the best bet for regular voters is to keep either the Democrats or Republicans in control of the White House and the opposite party in control of the Congress. That way they get less done and the less they get done the better off we are.

DJH wow the Katrina part was the part that riled you up? Hah how about the part when GWB decided to turn off his cellphone and take a nap? It’s always the dems right? If Al gore had been president it would have been even worse right? Bottom line is… it happened on his watch… I dont care if they “SHOULD” have evacuated, what about the response afterwards? What about the fact that New Orleans is still screwed up? Shoot we sure could use that trillion dollars that we threw down the bottomless pit known as Iraq in New Orleans.

I don’t agree with her and I’m not a fan of Mernt. (12/15/2007 9:04:59 pm)

C., like the religious butterflies that switch churches rather than praying God make their path plain and to help their leaders to follow a plan that makes biblical sense, you dumped the Republicans instead of owning up and supporting a candidate that is a Conservative constructive Constitutionalist. C., the Dems are supporting change alright, they support the extraction of religion, not the allowing of it. They also advocate for Socialist medical programs and progressive tax rates instead of a standard across the board single rate system that would be fair for everyone. After all, isn’t it fair to say that a tithe is a tithe (10%). If it’s good enough for God why not try it for taxes. Take our total nation’s payroll and apply 10% to be given to the Gov’t. What do you get? Make it applicable to welfare checks as well and there’s more. Put stipulations on how welfare is administered and there’s more. Come back C. and make a difference.

Dear Jake,
Torture helps create terrorism??? I take this to mean that the US practicing torture as an interrogation technique necessarily causes the creation of terrorists and terrorist organization. Because the terrorists surely don’t advocate nor do they practice the use of torture. No sir. They voluntarily abide by the rules set forth in the Geneva Convention, despite the fact that terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda are non-government entities.
But in all seriousness, terrorist organizations gruesomely execute their captives (be they soldier or civillian) whether or not the United States military, or any other military for that matter, practices torture. Because they do not represent sovereign nations (whether they receive funding from one or not), they are not held accountable by the Geneva convention, thus creating asymetrical warfare for their opponents.
Terrorist organizations have been practising torture for a long time now (think 16th century Russian Oprichniki) and will continue to do so as long as they remain. Their creation has no necessary connection to any other nation’s torture policies.
As for Mrs. Edwards, she’s just supporting her husband, albeit a little more than the American people care to listen to.

Her feeble invocation of the old lib loon “Karl Rove is evil” mantra proves beyond a fat shadow of a doubt that her alleged spouse’s limpdik campaign IS over.
Maybe the Shampoo’s and the Clixons can buy a pontoon boat, for when they all sail slowly and quietly into the Canadian sunset on Vancouver Island, as President McCain and VEEP Rudy IS sworn in…
Oh well.
HILLARY HAPPENS.

Sorry SN… Who would you vote for? I honestly think Hillary Clinton could be like a Roosevelt. But you arent really a repub are you? Who would you vote for?
PS Im tired dude hehe

Blech!
Where’s Ann Coulter when ya need her!?

Any group of people that decides to build part of a city below sea level gets what they deserve for being extremely unintelligent. The federal government giving them any aid at all is an injustice to the taxpayers in the other 49 states. As far as the Edwards (or any other democratic candidate for that matter) when are people going to learn that they will do or say whatever it takes to get into power instead of actually basing anything on facts or any type of actual reasoning, I am sick and tired of the liberal scare tactics and absolute moronic ideas. I would hope that most Americans realize that the socialist/communist party in this country known as the democrats are going to be the downfall of our way of life.

Who’s running for office here exactly, Edwards or his wife? It seems like the only time I hear anything about that campaign it is because Mrs Edwards is running her mouth about something.

Every neighborhood Christmas party has an Elizabeth Edwards. She’s that high-tension, bright-eyed psycho wife with the weird smile and edge to her voice. Stress is her hobby. Her kids go to college and go nuts partying from the relief of escape, her husband has that worn “I sleep with one eye open/work overtime to avoid the house” look.

“what is “communist/socialist” about the democratic party?”
Is this a serious question? The democratic party is extremely socialist. How about wanting to redistribute income and regulating every part of all Americans lives. Hilary Clinton said that the capitalist economy has failed us, do you really want somebody with this ideology (liberal) leading our country?

I voted for Al Gore in 2000, but to actually think the Supreme Court decided that election is being very naïve.

Swiftboating: This wasn’t Karl Rove.
Why do liberals not like the truth being told about Kerry and his hysterical “Swift Boating”!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was the Republicans who played on the politics of fear?

To Wow:
All governments have a natural tendency to grow. Why make it worse by empowering people (socialists) who, in the name of fairness, would centralize and governmentalize all services and micro-manage the economy to death.
Of course government must play a strong role in public safety – but beyond that it serves the people better to have vibrant competition re-inventing services through businesses that quickly rise to meet needs but can just as quickly evaporate when they prove to be failures.
Government programs are extra prone to corruption and are defacto monopolies driven by political self-interest that take generations to get rid of (if ever)when they go bad.
All of the more socialist countries in the world have been backing away from government managed economies because it does not work.
Government unions are notoriously anti-competitive. They want wages and pensions and job security at all costs. The result is poor services, arrogant attitudes and no accountability.

How can anyone say that kind of stuff and expect to be elected into office – if by some horror chance Edwards was elected – she has already spit on half the country.

So Mrs Ambulance Chaser is scared of Republicans. Liberals hate responsibility and accountability anyway. Who exactly is running for President in that family? What a bunch of losers.

{Shush, everybody. Don’t tell dball, wow, and the rest of the BDS sufferers that GWB isn’t up for re-election.}
Yes. I fully agree. GWB has been the worst president in history who stole 2 elections, killed a billion Iraqi civilians because of his lies, and is sitting in the corner of the Oval Office (get it ?) waiting for your phone to ring so he can listen in while monitoring what you’re typing on your computer right now.
Because of your dedication, I join your cause to end the administration of the evil and misguided Bush. I promise not to vote for the cunning yet stupid evil Bush, devil Cheney, or the devil’s spawn…Rove.
My best regards to you, the past, and….the past.

Somebody should check to see if she is purchasing carbon offsets for the garbage spewing from her and her husbands mouths. What hypocrites! America deserves better.

both side preach their own version of gloom and doom. i remember when i were a teenaged lad of 16 in 1965. i had one leftist socialist neighbor and one john bircher neighbor.
the leftist liberal socialist neighbor kept telling me that in 20 years everyone would be starving, the oil would be gone, the air and water would be so polluted that everyone would be poisoned, etc.
the bircher neighbor kept telling me that the public schools would turn to crap if integrated and that LBJ’s war on poverty wouldn’t reduce poverty but do nothing more than create a class of permanent recipients.
guess who’s prognostications are closer to being true?

I am a 33 year old gay male and the Democrat party scares me far more so than the Republican party. The Constitution protects me from god wack jobs on the Republican side but does not protect me from socialism/big govt wack jobs on the Democrack side.
This country needs a viable 3rd party candidate. Someone who is a true conservative when it comes to govt issues and yet a liberal when it comes to private life.
And for someone who spends $400 on a haircut and it stills looks like crap will never get my vote ha ha.

Dubuque Iowa is home to some of the finest pig farms in the nation.
I am so happy she is hitting her stride (and adding the strident tone), if the Breck boy wins she will have alienated so many on the fence voters that they will certainly vote Republican, even if it is for super-scary-not-all-that smart-Hucakboy.

Well I guess we are even because the dems really scare me. Its amazing that someone not believeing in evolution is scary. You pick where to put your faith in God or in the “science” of evolution but both require faith. As for allowing law abiding citizens to carry a weapon and defend themselves? How dare they we all need to depend on government for every need according the dems. Socialism is a failure but for some reason they want to bring America into that oppressive system. Scary very scary.

‘We cant debate people like you…’
Well that’s fer damn sure. I am not ruled by my navel gazing emotions as your average lib/dem. That’s why you and people like that little queer Edwards have to up the trump victim rhetoric.

No wonder this country is in such bad shape. The only thing exceeding Republican ignorance is their arrogance in expressing it. A bunch of sexually mal-adjusted freaks who enjoy inflicting pain on others. I hope you get driven so far back under your rocks that you’ll never expose your creepy insect feelers to this world again.

‘The only thing exceeding Republican ignorance is their arrogance in expressing it. A bunch of sexually mal-adjusted freaks who enjoy inflicting pain on others. I hope you get driven so far back under your rocks that you’ll never expose your creepy insect feelers to this world again.’
this is a damn fine example of leftist trump victim rhetoric as well. a damn fine example. a praddling rant drivin by emotion.
if i were an english teacher giving a class on patterns of trump/victim/leftist rhetoric, i’d give this an A.

If Dems win or maintain all branches of government next time, White House, House and Senate (they’ve already infiltrated the courts) then this county, the USA, will cease to be recognizable from what made it great in the past: liberty and hard work/puritan ethic. It will become a communist nanny state in its entirety and freedom and industrial progress will be a distant memory.
Democrats sell out their country for a bowl of rice a day.
Tragic.

I want to die from nuclear fallout.
The Republican rapture babies will get me there the quickest

Socialist like all the democrats scare me. Why is it that people believe a theory from 1859, knowing all we now know about the complexities of life. It takes more faith to believe the theory of evolution than to believe in intelligent design.

Everyone should be scared of John Edwards. The liberal tax and spend candidate. Made a living exploiting poor people and chaseing ambulances.
I can believe anyone would consider this guy a legitament presidential candidate.

Who can name one thing the GOP has done for this great country since Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves? How sad. What fools are they who believe their lies. When history is written it will be the “GOP” who will be shown to have destroyed us at home and in the eyes of the world. God Bless America!
Every vote counts. Count every vote. VOTE!

TOM:
Oh, Tom, Tom, Tom…
So sad that you got some of that hairspray, too. Count every vote, Tom, just like the Kennedys did.
Count those votes, Tom. Don’t miss the graveyards, tombstones, and illegal aliens.
Count, Tom, Count…

TOM:
Don’t forget the pregnant chads, either. You crooks, er, guys need to get started on making some now. Count all of those “potential” votes.
Do it for the Breck Girl, for Dingy Harry, for dufus Nancy, and for Billary and Bubba. Do it for Mark Rich, Tom!
Count, Tom, Count…

Ralph and Barge back you, Tom! Count every VOTE, Buddy! Count em all – you just can’t ignore their pleas of intelligence and common sense. Then again…
Okay, you can’t ignore their pleas. Intelligence and common sense are MIA.
Count the votes, Tom! Count em all! Osama Bin Laden, er, I mean, the communist, er, democrat party – yeah, that’s right! The dems need to win.
And it’s all about, no, nothing about politics.
Count, Tom, Count. Do it for the Breck Girl and his pitiful, big-mouth wife.

blah blah blah…….human beings scare me…..a pox on both houses: jackasses and packyderms.

‘Who can name one thing the GOP has done for this great country since Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves?’
They got the 401K thing through Congress in the early 80′s despite the protests of yahoos like the blubberous Ted Kennedy and KKK Byrd who protested that it was a tax give away to the rich when in fact the program has created more private wealth to average middle class Americans than any program before or since.
You yahoo collectivists were frothing at the mouth.

If this cow would just shut up and go away the world would be a better place.

WB Hickok says:
“Liberal still means open minded.. (you should have more liberal friends). Republican= America #1, I hate liberals. Close mindedness. Stop the terrorists there before they get over here, The dollar being worth 50% less equals good for exports, except you to don’t export anything. Um we should all carry around guns because we are afraid someone will shoot us. Evolution is wrong. Abortion bad. Keep spending money America doesn’t have (devaluating America’s currency). Balanced budget bad.”
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Liberals do not equal open-mindedness, unless you agree with their opinions. If not, they try to denigrate and name call, bullying you into submission or silence. Harry Reid’s embarrassing letter against Rush Limbaugh is a fine example of liberal hypocrisy – along with the fairness in media doctorine.
Diversity and tolerance is what they preach, unless you’re a Christian.
Stop the terrorist before they get over here – what the h*ll is wrong with that – I’d much rather fight a battle on enemy turf than to watch destruction of my ground. Besides, thanks to the open border mentality, the terrorists are already over here, biding their time, enjoying the pacifying left protecting their “rights” allowing them to meet in their mosques and prepare for their next round of attacks.
The economy is only bad in the eyes of the media and the left as there is an election year ahead. Every time there is a major election, the media starts their doom and gloom reporting of the economy, how it’s down and we’re facing a recession – bad times are ahead – yet, it never materializes. Their analysts are always “surprised” when figures come out revealing that everything looks great. I wonder why they never hire better analysts and get rid of those who apparently don’t know what they’re doing….
As far as the guns go, let’s see what’s happened to those socialist country’s populations after the left-wingers went in and confiscated the civilians firearms. That’s a real winning picture. We’ve got over 20,000 gun laws on the books, yet crime continues. It’s not the gun’s fault, it’s the people. Concealed carry laws do have an affect on crime – so does the rightful bearing of arms by a nation’s people. You lefties are so concerned about public safety, yet the medical profession accidentally kills around 100,000 people per year, far more than gun crimes, yet nothing is said about that. Pistols are used in over 85% of the firearm crimes, yet, you want to ban assault rifles – they aren’t used in crime hardly at all – I’ll keep mine thank you very much, along with the right to keep them as the 2nd Amendment allows – you’ve heard of the 2nd Amendment, that’s to the Constitution of this country – something that the liberal judges out there ignore….
Evolution wrong? Anyone with a grade school education in genetics or biology should be smart enough to figure out that evolution does not work. Mutation is not a result of need. A fish swimming in polluted water, doesn’t know that it needs lungs to breathe air – it dies! It doesn’t develop legs to walk out of the water to walk on land, it dies. Evolution is a left-wing conspiracy to crack the moral majority – put those questions in young minds, denying creation, denying a God or superior being at an early age to turn those youngsters against the Christian beliefs that our founding fathers had. Again, another liberal hypocrisy – no tolerance or diversity here – believe in this theory (taught as fact in school) or you’re stupid…
Keep spending – balanced budget bad? Wrong side of the fence again – I will say that on both sides of the aisle the politicians in this country need to learn a concept so foreign to them they can’t – limited budget, less spending, but the republicans are far better than the big government democrats, who want to take away the tax cuts that have helped to spur the economy. Instead of raising taxes and slowing the economy with more pork barrel projects – which you can’t balance the budget with those. It’s the dems who have blown the budget, allowed immigrants access to Social Security, and have spoken thru their candidates, all of whom, have said they will raise taxes – again, more spending by government, less money in your pocket – what part of that don’t you understand?
No WB, all of those things you gripe about, that is your party – not the republicans.

Don’t be too hard on her; bless her heart! She can’t help it with all the cancer drugs she must be taking, her husband being what he is and all of her friends being not from the “great unwashed” She must be having a tough time sorting reality from wishful thinking, and the donkey hubris. Soon, she won’t have to worry and can go back to the bosum of her family and the “little” manse they call home!

LOL! OMG! Thanks for confirming my statement and beliefs. The 401K “thing”? Oh brother. You leave me speechless. Since the 80s you were scrambling to come up with one thing the GOP gave the nation and you came up with the 401 “thing.” Enough said. Wake up and smell the Republicans people. They have given YOU nothing. Think about it and be honest with yourself. God Bless America. Count every vote. Every vote counts!

Electing John Edwards President of the United States would be like making Hitler head of Israel.

‘The 401K “thing”? Oh brother. You leave me speechless.’
OK. Reagan deregulating the telecom network was a biggie too. A real biggie. The usual suspects like KKK Byrd and the blubberous Tedward were outraged, of course.
If it was up to them we’d still be renting our rotary dial phones from bell and talking on analog carrier. The internet would be running at a ripping 1200 bauds.

I hate to hurt your feelings and I know the truth hurts but… the EPA came out of the Democratically controlled Congress. Vietnam was a real winner for us. The dominoes really did fall didn’t they. those dag bern commies…. grrrrrrr. At least we had tricky dicky and henry the k watchin our backs. Ah… those were the days huh? The GOP has given America nothing. Look at your own life if you don’t believe me. God bless America. Count every vote. Every vote counts! Vote!

Hey, Egghead, GOVERNMENT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU ANYTHING! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SELF-RELIANT AND SUPPORT YOURSELF. WHAT KIND OF GOVERNMENT HANDOUT ARE YOU GETTING, BUD? I’LL BET 10 to 1 YOU ARE ON THE DOLE. YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT AMERICA, ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOUR OWN POCKETBOOK AND COMFORT. REPUBLICANS WORK HARD SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO.

To all the oxygen-starved morons who claim the 2000 election was stolen, they are almost correct. It was the Florida Supreme Court that attempted the theft by changing the terms of a Florida Election. They had absolutely no legal right to do so, and that what the U.S. Supreme Court ruled upon. The US Supreme Court did not rule that Bush was President, you freakin morons, they ruled that the Florida judges could not change election rules in midstream. That 4 US Supreme Ct judges ruled against that was criminal. Liberal=Lying, equivocating creeps. You people need to move to France.

I am a Republican and I agree with Ms. Edwards that Huckabee does have some wacky ideas about science and evolution. Unlike Ms. Edwards, however, I do like the rest of Huckabee’s message of social and economic conservatism. Unfortunately, Huckabee has allowed himself to be type-cast as a nutty Baptist preacher, and doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in h*ll in a general election. That’s reality, folks. Either Guiliani or Romney will get my vote and my money. They both have executive experience. They both have national appeal. The Republican party is going to have to grow up and accept the fact that their nominee is going to have to defeat Hillary Clinton and her Clinton smear machine. The earnest fundalmentalist Huckabee wouldn’t stand a chance in a contest with “The Hildabeast”.

Well, at least she found an effective way to lose weight. Tell us your secret Lizzie!!!

I was living in North Carolina when Breck Girl was “representing us”. I use the air quotes because the minute he got into the Senate he started running for President. In NC, it was revealed that he hadn’t paid the taxed on his Emerald Isle vacation property in years, and he had never voted in a school board election. There were years he was never registered to vote. All of a sudden he’s fit to be the leader of the free world. As a lawyer myself, although I am proud to say I was a prosecutor not an ambulance chaser(they make Ayn Rand roll in her grave!), I had seen many lawyers with big egos, but even among that group John excels. His speech in his swimming pool tort case that made him so much money when he channelled the dead child for the jury, that kind of emotional appeal should be and I believe is unethical. Too bad the judge didn’t overrule any objection to that kind of tripe. The fact that Ms. Edwards has terminal cancer has apparently freed her to say any nasty thing she can think of to say about Republicans. This is not the mark of a leader. The fact that he lets his wife say the nasty things so he has plausible deniability, is not the mark of a leader. However, I am not afraid that John “Breck Girl” Edwards will be on the ticket. I am afraid of Obama “I want to feel my way into the presidency” and Clinton “I want to steal my way into the presidency”. This passion for wealth redistribution is right out of the socialist playbook. Hillary has already announced that “we the people” are going to have to give up some things so we can help whatever group her imperial majesty is highest on the victim list at the moment. Read Atlas Shrugged and pay particular attention to what happened to Hammond Motors. Coming soon to a country near you. Now, that’s Really Scary!
As for Republicans being responsible for terrorism, as a retired Air Force intelligence officer who is now a college professor teaching terrorism classes, I suggest the liberals stop feeling badly about racial profiling Muslim terrorists and instead read the Koran, especially that part about “kill the infidel wherever you find him”, infidel being defined as the Children of the Book, i.e. Jews and Christians. Also she should take a look at the recent Pew Poll that revealed that 26% of Muslims LIVING IN AMERICA think suicide bombing is an appropriate act to avenge insult to Islam. Coming soon to a mall near you. Edwards says this the GWOT is a bumper sticker war. Only in his alternate reality. The Dems better wake up and smell the coffee or their heads will be chopped off by Islamic terrorists, who by the way admit they are emulating Mohammed in punished their enemies in this fashion. Clinton’s bona fides are “I slept with a President” and therefore by osmosis has absorbed experience. HAH. And Obama is just a joke. Now, I am having trouble picking a decent Repub, but I, a former lifetime Democrat, will never vote for one again. There used to be conservative Souther Dems, but those seem to be all gone too. Look how James Webb changed his tune once he got into office! As Ronald Reagan once said, I didn’t leave the Democrat party, it left me….by moving so far to the left.

America First,
Count this !!!!! You freakin Lib Moron. Oops, I used a redundancy.

Republicans SHOULD scare her they tend to expose the truth and we all know what the truth does to lefties. But her fellow democrats should scare her even more they’re about to relegate her and her shallow running mate to a footnote.

I don’t think it’s to smart to ridicule Christians and God when you yourself are so close to eternity. Turn to Jesus,Elizabeth,turn to him for salvation before it’s to late.

America first, The country is divided because BOTH parties refuse to come to the table. It is a clear sign of failed leadership in BOTH parties.

No, no…Don’t yopu see?..If you look back at the wailings of the Baby Libs and Lib press feeders in this country, ‘scared’ of GWB, Pubs, Bird Flu, Global Warming, etc., is one thing that you must be at all times…You are scared that GWB is destroying the country w/o having to specify what is being destroyed…You are terrified that GWB is trampling Constitutional liberties /wo naming one that got destroyed…All part of chick-appeal coming from the Left…Women are ‘frightened’…Men are not…Lib men can be frightened, however…But added to their emotions scale along with their girly counterparts: are,’outraged’, ‘enraged’, and ‘appalled’…To be a good MoveOn Dem these days, that’s how you spend your life….’Scared’ of life itself, but most scarfed of the Pubs for reasons you can’t name….’Enraged, outraged, appalled’ over the creche in town square, the dress code at schoo…Patron Saint of the New Dems: Our Lady Of Perpetual Offense’…

Dems controlled the Senate when the Iraq War vote was taken and a majority of them voted for it. When our troops got in harms way and a war was underway they began undermining our efforts in every way possible for their own political profit. There is nothing scarier than people that are this amoral.

You people at abc snooze think your so funny, don’t you. Well, whatever, I still got the message out there. AND CRUSADER DOES NOOOOOT SUPPORT PONY BOY OR HIS STUPID WIFE!!!!! Thank you so much you liberal losers.

Respectfully disagree Andrew. Nothing against 3rd, 4th, 5th parties. Look at our history and see what the Republicans have done to this country. If people are dumb enough to vote for them well, its their right. And if enough vote for them we’ll continue down the same path they and George W. Bush have forced on the world. Who could possibly vote for these people? Honestly? They have given nothing to this country. They are destroying us piece by piece. Wake up America! Count every vote. Every vote counts. God bless America.

Her husband claims to channel dead children, and she is afraid of us?
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE POSTED THIS SAME STATEMENT, ONCE AT 9:30 LAST NIGHT, ONCE AT AROUND 1:00AM, BOTHTIMES IT WAS TAKEN DOWN–WHY?

I swear i am only hitting the button once.

Mary, you sound like a typical liberal. Blame Bush for hurricane Katrina, being hated all over the world and for a filing dollar? Liberals care nothing about personal responsabilty they blame others like Republicans or the wealthy or the parents. Katrina? Mandatory evacuation means just that. Being hated by the world? Who cares as long as we are safe. Falling dollar? That is another story we have the dems to blame for that one. Who moved us away from the gold standard mary?

Neo-Conservatives manipulated intelligence and lied us into a war that has cost us nearly 4,000 of our soldiers. It is the greatest strategic failure in American history.
Neo-Conservatives have cast aside habeus corpus- making us less free.
Neo-Conservatives have legalized the torture of human beings.
Neo-Conservatives have legalized warrantless spying on our citizenry. We used to laugh at the Soviets and the East Germans for having such rulers. Now it’s us with such leadership. Again, we are much less free.
Neo-Conservatives have done away with the Geneva Conventions.
Neo-Conservatives have censored government science to help them deny global warming. Ours is the only government on the planet- the only one- who continues to deny it’s seriousness.
Neo-Conservatives have left us with fewer close allies than at any point in our nation’s history. (You can’t lead if nobody’s following.)
Neo-Conservatives have made it such that we are no longer the freest citizens in the world. We are now less free than the citizens of every single Western European nation.
All of these things threaten our Union. All of these things are scary.

Wow elodie, you were wrong on every single point. Amazing.

Hear Hear Elodie!

Mike, where is the leadership in the GOP? The only one that comes close is romney and he will never get in due to anti-mormon bigotry.No, i am voting third party. Untill this dynamic changes, both the gop and the dnc can kiss my butt. These childish attacks against bush and the dnc record in congress have already proved that the dnc can’t lead, now the gop seems to be trying to outdo the dnc.

WOW
The personal attacks made on Mrs. Edwards are sickening, vile and typical of the continued carping of conservatives.
Everyone of you who wrote something nasty, unkind or just plain evil should hang your heads in shame. I really hope you all aren’t “christians” or evangelicals; because if you are you are not true to your faith.
One can only conclude our country is still bitterly divided (calling each other liberals and neo-cons) and that the Nov 2008 election will be just as close as 2000 or 2004.

Val, after the childish attacks on the gop from liberals, what do you expect? Need I remind you of the endless name calling from the left?

‘Neo-Conservatives have censored government science to help them deny global warming. Ours is the only government on the planet- the only one- who continues to deny it’s seriousness.’
remember kids. these are the same scientists who had that nifty government sponsored food pyramid all figured out until they realized they were wrong after 45 years and two generations of lard $$$$$ later.

Tex, I like Ron Paul or Duncan Hunter but they are way back in the pack. We seem to have lost our conservative way with this bunch. It is up to us to bring them back to the “right”.

Wow. Was there a bugle call for crazy Republicans? Simply reading these comments provides compelling support for Elizabeth Edwards’ position.
Not all Republicans should scare those of us who work and wish for a better United States… but the sadists, sexists, and just-plain-crazies on these comments certainly should scare us.
“little queer Edwards”? “Republicans shouldn’t believe in evolution”? I repeat: Wow.

I’m a republican. I asked my family-children and grand children if I scare them…no was the reply. Mrs Edwards has engaged in the name calling. She is a cancer victim and is now using that a shield to say anything she wants. Hard to criticize her because of her health. Well I can because I’m a cancer victim too. Esophageal cancer. Mrs. Edwards because we don’t think and believe as you do.. you shouldn’t cast stones at others. I sincerely hope you win your battle with cancer, however, I hope your husband losses his bid for the presidency. Please enjoy your holiday in your 30,000 square foot home.

What is scary is that Elizabeth Edwards is symbolic of the stupidity of Democrats who can see no further than the end of their noses. Heaven help us all if these short-sighted people are able to elect our next president. She is a fool, pure and simple!

and Republicans are “mean spirited”??? This is the oldest game Liberals play.

Who is manipulating the science of “global warming”. The scientific community recently “admitted” that part of the model for forecasting global warming IS flawed. Common sense tells one that if a part of the model is flawed, the rest of the model is going to be off too. Ask the folks in the plains states, the midwest, and the northeast how they feel about global warming what with the ice storms which have left a million folks without power for a week and parts of the northwest buried in 3 feet of snow with more of the same in their immediate future. Funny how “MO’ forgot that LBJ’s FBI was wiretapping Americans while forgetting that those being wiretapped today are being done when either the orginator or the receiver of the call is using a number which is a “known” terrorist phone number. Remember the terror attacks throughout the 1990s and the lack of retaliation – oh thats right, the terrorists were just common criminals. I guess Bill Clinton was in cohoots with the drug companies for bombing and destroying that aspirin factory in the Sudan to ensure U.S. companies could corner the market in aspirins.

Are you really the Americans I meet in the grocery store line?
Yes. We’re the ones in the grocery store line who are paying for our groceries without the WIC coupons and the six illegitimate children in tow.

Exactly ‘Satan’. She’s using her cancer as a shield to say anything she wants. Cancer victim or not, she’s going to be answered. The liberal’s ‘doctrine of infallibility’, as explained by Coulter, does NOT work anymore. She will and is being answered.

and Republicans are “mean spirited”??? This is the oldest game Liberals play.

It’s not a game pal, it’s reality.
Read all of these whining, mean spirited, venomous, hateful Repub posts!

My question, and I mean this with all due respect: when facing an aggressive cancer diagnosis, why do a husband and wife go public with it, stating that it will not compromise their drive for the goal of winning the US Presidency? I think it was a transparent moment, personally. I would think it would have made more sense to privately turn to God, and forge on with their goal of winning without holding a press conference about it….(they have no chance: “haircut” is a milquetoast joke, obviously couldn’t lead his way out of a wet paper bag….you want him to deal with the house of saud?)….but, as true Democrat party members are prone to doing, they ANNOUNCE things, they don’t have the patience to let things be discovered about them. Edwards will be done by Super Tuesday, if not before. Out.

I can’t believe her uninformed opinion garners so many responses.

Socialist and trial lawyers SCARE THE FIRE OUT OF ME!!!
Howard Ino!
Orlando

No US president is required to be interviewed by the likes of Communist Network News or PMSNBC. Everything they would say would be twisted around as well. Their news people cannot even say “statistical” right, it comes out as “sta-testical.” Some great journalists there!

All the “scary stuff” is happening now & has been going on since the wonderful (conservative?????, decider who thinks he’s king lied his way into the whitehouse.) Conservative? 1.Jobs out of country. 2. Bank account spent. 3.MOST IMPORTANTLY 3000+ American soldiers (many teens) killed. 4. Countless seriously maimed. Under who’se watch is all this happening? No matter how many times you write as- hole demoRAT, anyone with a half brain can see the truth thru all the fox news Hannity, O’Reilly propaganda. Plus your 2cents worth.

P.S. The Edwards are the ones who hired Amanda Marcotte to be their campaign blogger.
Amanda Marcotte – the most filthy mouthed Christian bashing blogger out there. The Edwards thought she was great!
Enough said.

You have to laugh at the Fox News bashers in here. Do you ever watch anything? It’s CNN, NBC & the NYT. etc. who have been caught lying through their teeth and havd had to retract. Wake up. Put down the kool-aid. You embarrass yourself.

Last week some open seats remained in GOP hands. So what’s with this future Democrat landslide everyone is talking about? lol.
Dream on.

Bush = 37% approval
Democrat Congress = 11% approval
Meanwhile Hillary and other democrats are getting exposed for the dirt diggers they really are.
I love seeing the democrat party implode. All without having to lift a finger!

If you can’t vote for a party with such evil venom then you can’t vote for the democrats. They’re so nasty a recent study proved their mental health has deteriorated.
Vote GOP. Keep America beautiful.

A recent study showed that republicans are much happier overall than democrats.
That explains a lot about Mrs. Edwards, her husband, the Clintons and the rest of the vicious bunch.

Lets see which scares me most…voting Democrat, and becoming a Godless, secular, intolerrent like you only think it is now communist/socialist country?….or voting conservative Republican, and holding on to our country, and what it was founded on for at least another 4 years anyway….I think I will take my chances and vote Republician, even though I am not totally happy with the cantidates that are running, there at least better then any the communist/socialist democrats have to offer.

jimj: You hit the nail on the head! Your posting is so full of truth, I copied it and am posting it again so that it will be seen by more! Thanks!
DEMOCRATS ARE DANGEROUS!
Democrats scare me.
They want to kill babies.
They want terrorists to have the same civil priviledges that American citizens have.
They want to control our behavior through tax policy.
They want to suppress any speech that disagrees with their policies and agendas.
They want to criminalize foreign policy in direct contradiction to our constitution.
They promote abortion rather than abstinence.
They would ruin economies and cripple scientific progress in pursuit of dubious claims of the extent and causes of global warming.
They deny freedom of religion.
They speak lie after lie after lie to confuse issues, deny responsibility, defame and destroy opponents, and promote socialist and tyrannical agendas.
In short – Democrats are the worst epidemic the free world is enduring, and if they are not defeated democratically they will bring ruin upon the nation and the world.
Democrats are not funy. Democrats are no longer well-intentioned. Democrats are not truthful. Democrats are dangerous.
Thanks, jimj! How nice to hear and see THE TRUTH!

The American captalist system is not “rigged” as John Edwards would like you to believe, or else he wouldn’t be rich.
What these rich democrat socialists want to do is make sure they ruin the system for the rest of us, so no one else can get to the place they’ve gotten. Pulling up the ladder so to speak.
Don’t fall for it.

Too bad John Edwards isnt man enough to say things himself…he sends his wife out to be the attack dog. How pathetic. Democrats are such spineless wimps that bring nothing but whining to the table.

John Edwards may succeed at destroying medical doctors career’s, but he sure can’t succeed at even campaigning for the presidency. Elizabeth, no matter how many times you are in People Magazine looking longingly into the camera, YOU aren’t running for president. John Edwards is a shrill, attacking little man. The Edwards’ accuse the Republican “machine” as being out to get him. No, it isn’t. And you know why? Because John Edwards doesn’t matter in this race. He lost before he even began.

John Edwards has that Eddie Haskel persona which creeps me out. After his poor performance in the VP debates last year, I believe most Dems know Edwards is a dud. The producers of the debate should have played the Harlem Globetrotters music while Cheney was schooling Edwards.

What a sorry excuse for a pair of people those two are. Double talking two faced obfuscationist traitors who would eradicate all the Americans if they could. Vote Freedom First.

Edwards reminds me of a slimy car salesman!

Elect Edwards and Move-on becomes president.

Two America’s. Edwards America, and the rest of us. All hail Edwards.

Elizabeth Edwards scares me.

Yes Elizabeth, You should be scared of “swift boating” because “swift boating” is the process of getting the truth to the people and dismantling the democrat Masquerade.
That’s what the Swiftboaters did.
John Kerry has been offered a MILLION dollars if he can disprove ANY of the Swift boaters claims (and you know how much he likes other people’s money) yet, to date, he has failed to come up with anything whatsoever.
While it’s understandable that people like yourself, Elizabeth, would find “swift boating” to be a pejorative, we, the people, actually LIKE having access to the real truth.
It sets us free.

Didn’t she already die of cancer twice?
Rove is the boogie man! Ignore the issues! Only White Men can win the vote!

Sally, You are incapable of rational thought processes. If you listen to what Ron Paul has to say in comparison to what all the others are saying and had a working knowledge of The Constitution and what the country was founded on you would not say the extremely ignorant things you say. You are of course welcome to say anything you like as that is one of the founders most amazing gifts. I don’t think that you have any idea what Ron Pauls voting record is or what he stands for. Only people who want to increase the slavery being installed on this nation would vote for the top tier village idiots.
The democraps and the repulsives are the problem and need to be un-invited to our legislative offices.
Death to Tyrants.

I live in NC, and I get to see Edwards’ SC primary TV commercials. (Lucky me).They make me want to barf. Edwards appears alongside this tiny little pink house (far less than 1,000 sq. ft.) talking about his humble life as the son of a textile worker. The FACT is that Edwards lives in the largest private residence in NC (besides the Vanderbilt castle in Asheville, which is technically a museum). His “house” is so big, it literally looks like a series of many intetrconnected separate buildings comprising a village. How did he make the money to acquire such wealth? Did he invent something? Did he build up a great company? Did he make some great scientific discovery? Was he a fabulous professional athelete? HA! Hardly! He got it by suing good hospitals and doctors, putting many of them out of business. This ambulance chaser has the nerve to talk about “corporate greed” in every speech, when in fact, if you look up “greed” in the dictionary, you see a picture of John Edwards. God help us if the American people are so stupid as to elect this man president of our country. I honestly would rather see Hillary get it.

… who cares what she thinks ?

Dem’s “Can’t we just get along?”

I still can’t decide which Edwards is prettier? Is it the macho female or the prissy male? I don’t get why anyone would support these nuts.

What scares me is the nasty comments here. Is this what America has become? A bunch of mean-spirited, ignorant, hypocritical inhuman ideologues? I thought Ann Coulter was a caricature, but obviously that was wishful thinking. God help us.

both sides are wrong is missing both brains, heart, and humor. Sure there are a few nasty comments on here but all in all there are far many amused ones – the woman simply takes herself too seriously regarding politics and not seriously enough where her family is concerned. She has a terminal illness but she’s still promoting socialism and communism, instead of God or responsibility. both sides are wrong, YOU are the one who needs God, and in addition some humor and sense of history. You had your mind made up on what to believe here before you even read “every post on here”. lol!

Sally, I have God in my life which is why I will pray for you. And if had to vote for the saddest person who has posted on here, you’d be in the top 5. I don’t think there’s anything funny about that, nor do I think it’s funny for people to be wishing death, or making jokes about someone’s terminal illness just because they say stupid things. Elizabeth Edwards and her husband don’t matter so why are we saying such wretched, filthy things? She’s making you all look worse than she ever will. Your hate needlessly garners sympathy for her and her cause.
Sense of history? Our country is better than you and this. This is NOT our history. This may be your history within the confines of your limited intellect. If Elizabeth Edwards chooses to spend her final days unsuccessfully convincing America her husband should be President than let her. It’s her life NOT YOURS. Quite frankly, why don’t you go spend time with your children instead of spewing hate on here. Maybe you’ll get hit by a bus tomorrow and you too will have spent your last days with politics instead of your family.

“W’s outlaw administration?” You can say it till your blue in the face, not one law broken, not one. As in none. Yopu libs think repeating a lie enough times will make it true.

Americans Scare Me

she is absolutely right. i am afraid of anyone who thinks we should spend more money on killing people than treating sick people, who are so intolerant of homosexuals, who think that if we don’t tax the rich they’ll stimulate the economy. they won’t stimulate the economy, they’ll just get richer while everyone else gets poorer.

If conservatives are so against abortion, why are abortion clinics going in full swing now since republicans are in control? Why is the media, especially T.V. filled with foul language, nudity & immorality? & getting worse, if that’s possible. I heard very clearly someone say, “I’m in charge.” WHO was that? The great controller can’t put a brake on it, since republicans are so self righteous & claim moral authority. Please address these issues, don’t tell me how bad “demorat’s” are.

All you have to do is listen to the left/Democrats to understand what they really believe, not what they pretend to believe for PR purposes.
We want people of faith, the evangelical Christians to know that the Democrats are not opposed to people of faith. THEN Mrs. Edwards lambast folks who may not believe in evolution! So if we believe in a Creator who actually CREATED, we are goofy?
And there we have the REAL Democratic position. You can have faith, just don’t take it too seriously. If you do, you are goofy and dangerous.

Mrs. Edwards- the feeling is mutual.

They flew planes in the WORLD TRADE towers. America wasn’t hit by Islamofacism, the WORLD was hit. It’s a phenomena all around the world, including terrorist cells in his perfect, innocent Canada.

m. y. carey, another Democrat write:
“If conservatives are so against abortion, why are abortion clinics going in full swing now since republicans are in control?”
Last time I checked Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were in charge. Bush has signed pro-life laws but what has to change is the Supreme Ct to reverse the unConstitutional Roe v. Wade. The justices who promoted Roe v. Wade were Dim Dems with no moral conscience

Dems just have division and fear to offer? That’s it? No vision other than “we’re not Republicans” or there are two Americas? Wow, I really want to see the presidential debates this time around!

How come when republicans run religious leaders the Democvrats are afraid. How afraid were they when the religious leaders of the democrats, aka Rev Jessie Jackson, Rev Al Sharpton.

Looking over these responses, I notice that the term “socialist” is getting used a lot. Is this word being used in fliers and mass e-mails to attack Democratic candidates?
See: “They also advocate for Socialist medical programs and progressive tax rates instead of a standard across the board single rate system that would be fair for everyone.” One clear response is to ask if the term “socialist” must be applied to any program that aids the citizens of a country. The role of any government is to provide services, such as education, roads, a military, and law enforcement. But providing basic health-care is bad?
But health-care is too big of a problem to just shout about. It’s a problem because more and more corporations are cutting health-care benefits, using part-time workers without benefits, and outsourcing jobs to other countries. The minimum wage is so low that no-one surviving on it can afford insurance. Government sponsored health-care, paid for largely by taxes on these corporations (which often pay their top management huge sums)seems rational. But if you don’t want it, what are other possible solutions, unless we want people to be unable to pay their medical bills? Seriously: instead of name-calling, what are other possible ways of dealing with this huge problem?

“Did the Iraqi people get the oil money (damn near 100 dollars a barrel)? ”
No, Saddam got the money and used it to buy off the UN i.e. “Food for OIL” program that the UN came up with as a way to line their own pockets. All this while Iraqi children were starving. Great institution the UB, as far as institutions go!

Yep, that is what we need Monica. A secular, amoral agnostic running the country! That’s the ticket! Whoopee!
Why don’t you move to Europe? They’ve got everything you’d ever want, minus the social spending. Been implementing all of your suggestions for 50 years. Of course, most of Europe is going down the toilet while getting ready for sharia. Better get yourself a closet full of matching burkas.
As far as I’m concerned, your type is worse than the dumbest lib.

American politics is a big joke. Just look at you are all acting now. Each of you calling each other names and scrambling to get more contributions from Asian dishwashers or labor unions in exchange for future considerations. Then who ever is elected spends his time in office campaigning for the next election instead of doing meaningful work. Why don’t you have an open election for the party and not for the person. Each party would be funded equaly and every politician would stump for his own party. Then after one party wins the election a leader would be chosen by the party members themselves without any imput from the general public. This would ensure that the leader (President) would be a person who has the ability to work with the others. This system would remove all that tempting cash from the sticky fingers of the “honest” politicians. The members of Congress would be able to get some work done and not have to pander to special interest groups because special interst groups would have no influence on their careers. I am English and this is the system used over there and it seems to work. One more benefit is that if the elected head of the party behaves in a depraved manner ie. chases young interns round with a cigar in his hands
he can be disciplined by his own party and if warranted he can be removed from office. All the costs for the elections would be covered by tax of a dollar or two added to the annual tax.

Hey Monica,
I have copied and pasted the first Thanksgiving prayer by George Washington (for the recent graduates of the public school system, he is widely considered the founding father of our country).
Maybe you can point me to where he is a secularist? Thanks.
WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favour; and Whereas both Houfes of Congress have, by their joint committee, requefted me “to recommend to the people of the United States a DAY OF PUBLICK THANSGIVING and PRAYER, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to eftablifh a form of government for their safety and happiness:”
NOW THEREFORE, I do recommend and affign THURSDAY, the TWENTY-SIXTH DAY of NOVEMBER next, to be devoted by the people of thefe States to the fervice of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our fincere and humble thanksfor His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the fignal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpofitions of His providence in the courfe and conclufion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have fince enjoyed;– for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to eftablish Conftitutions of government for our fafety and happinefs, and particularly the national one now lately instituted;– for the civil and religious liberty with which we are bleffed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffufing useful knowledge;– and, in general, for all the great and various favours which He has been pleafed to confer upon us.

About the torture question. Yes, it’s well-documented that many people who plant or bombs or plan attacks have often either been tortured or have had relatives or loved ones tortured or killed during torture. That’s exactly what I mean. A few days studying the French Algerian war is worthwhile, here. According to the written accounts of many of the French officers, the French use of torture was one of the major reasons for losing the war after winning the battle: torture made the enemy willing to do anything for revenge, including planting bombs. That’s why terrorism seems so irrational and foul to us–few people have studied the reasons for it. Thus we are left feeling that people who plant bombs or blow themselves up are just irrational. They’re instead irrational and feel justified in seeking revenge. Torture, in other words, just perpetuates the cycle of violence, giving the enemy cause to seek blood. This is one reason why the U.S. Army does not support torture. (And it’s use encourages opponents to use it.) The military status of the prisoners makes no difference. Torture, moreover, degrades the country that uses it. No matter how good, how ethical the country may have begun, once it engages in torture, it is longer the good guy. Two wrongs just don’t make a right. The people who have perpetuated torture must be brought to trial along with the people who perpetuate terrorism.

Edwards’s two Americas:
1. Those who work or worked for billion dollar hedgefunds and live in 28,000 square foot energy guzzling estates.
2. Those who don’t.
‘Nuff said.

Why are there so many references to godlessness and “secularists” here? Is the assumption that anyone who is not a Christian or believes in a secular government is foul?
And has any Democratic candidate argued for “the extraction of religion, not the allowing of it”? What I’ve instead seen is people who claim to want freedom of religion, but actually want the dominance of religion, and more specifically, their own religion. Huckabee and others say they want more religion in this country, but if you listen to them for long, you learn what they want is more people believing what they believe. Let a teacher or school principal ask the kids to pray to Allah or for that matter distribute rosary beads, and see long the people advocating a religious America support religious freedom.
The United States is a pluralistic country that welcomes people from many backgrounds and religions, as well as people who reject religion. What the Democratic party supports is government neutrality concerning religion, so that no one should feel coerced into support for any religion, and no set of religious beliefs or believers is favored over others. Impartiality is the goal.

Wow, after reading some of these comments, I believe she may be right, but right about current political discourse in general and not just about Republicans in particular.
I think may of these posters don’t care one bit about the state of the US, they just love the nasty fighting. These comments of remind me of video game chat room messages, childish and without meaning. When politicians pander to this mentality, the good of the country is forgotten.

Is it just me, or does Elizabeth Edwards hurt her husband more the she helps? SHE’S always the one taking the fight to the Republicans (and sometimes, the Deomcrats) while her husband keeps a passive silence. I’m not sure it makes a person look “presidential” when his wife fights all of his battles.

“Wake up and smell the Republicans people. They have given YOU nothing.”
I would rather get nothing from a republican than to be constantly pick-pocketed by a lib/dembocRAT!

People – People – PEOPLE!!!!!!
Don’t you get it??? You’re like dogs tearing at the same bone. One half is painted red and the other half is painted blue and each side is trying to drag it out of the other side’s mouth. The people snarling on the red half can’t see blue and the people growling on the blue half can’t see red. You’re passionately arguing about one side or the other when they’re two sides of the same coin. The real causes worth fighting for are: human dignity and real change, the betterment of our lives and those of our children. Instead of fighting over dead ideologies that no longer exist anyway we should be looking for candidates who can provide real solutions to real-world problems. These candidates mouth ideologies that none of them believe! You’re like people caught in a dreamworld – “The American Dream” – wake up and smell your house burning! We’re not in OZ and this isn’t Disneyland (“fairytales can come true it can happen to you …land”) Every one of these people running for office is a multimillionaire and they will walk away as multimillionaires whether they win or not. They have friends and holdings in other countries they know people in high places. I’m happy they have achieved success but do you think that they really identify with your problems or care about your lives, your struggles or your beliefs? No, they live far above you in mansions on their own mountaintops! They feign one ideology or the other because they can get you to vote for them. They change their opinions to fit the latest polls. They lie at the drop of a hat. They don’t share your ethics or your morals – your struggles or your lives. They only pretend. The party machines pick out your candidates for you and in the end you vote for the one that offends you the least! If neither party gives a candidate worthy of your vote then where is your political freedom? If a candidate doesn’t truly represent your views or beliefs then where is your representation? Where is your freedom or your choice? Demand a candidate who will serve the interests of the American people. No more Bushes! No more Clintons! No more political dynasties! Give us someone “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” Someone not driven by the interests of big business, the global economy, big media or the political machine! I’m tired of empty promises and false hopes! I’m tired of liars and false visions! Give me a genuine leader with genuine beliefs. Give me a cadidate that serves “the people” out of a sense of integriy and duty rather than one selfishly serving his or her own ends. Give me someone who speaks their own words out of truth and sincerity not filtered through political operatives and speech writers. Give me a candidate worth voting for!!

Tex Taylor:
Could you explain the items above the list of religious affiliations? Did someone have to do all of these things to qualify to make the list below it? Or is the list instead a combination of all of the people?
Can you give us your source for this list of religious affiliations?
Can you give us a list, that identifies these people, one by one and their affiliations?
Finally, what is this list supposed to prove? Are you arguing that there were no deists in the group? Or that because, in the Colonies in the 18th century, people were religious, that in the 21st century, we should be religious? Or are you arguing that religion should be imposed on citizens of the United States? If so, should the state become Episcopal or Anglican, since most of the signers, according to the list, stated they were affiliated with those churches? Or just a general Christian state? Seriously, what do you advocate, in plain language?

Well I can see everyone is well on they way to acting like… “UNITED” States. Nice job Mrs. Edwards! Create fear and you create controversary.

What am I advocating? I could ask you the same thing. If you believe I am wrong about this being a predominantly Christian nation at its formation, please explain to me all of the churches on every corner, the financing of a military band to hold Sunday services in the Congressional building, and to this day the opening of each session of Congress with a prayer.
Here’s what I am advocating…removing my family, my friends, and myself from progressives like you before you’re allowed to destroy the country I love.

“Republican attack machine” (last paragraph) would be in quotes if ABC News were less partisan in their election year coverage.
Or if the reference were about Democrats.

Sorry Jake, it’s because the United States was founded as a Christian, Bible believing nation that others were allowed to come here in the first place and tolerance was practiced, instead of inquisitions like in Europe. Christians have always been more tolerant than other religions – what we aren’t tolerant of is a group of people who want to change the laws to outlaw God and faith in the public discourse, and Democrats certainly qualify there!

Mr. Taylor: You say that you advocate “removing my family, my friends, and myself from progressives like you before you’re allowed to destroy the country I love.”
By destroying the country, what do you mean? What have I said that makes you think what I believe will lead to the end of this country? I’ve supported freedom of religion, ending torture, and the prosecution of those who promote it. How will those things destroy the country? Or did I say something else that sounds all that terrible?

Hey Pete. Sorry to disappoint you but I don’t consider myself a republican. But being, an “informed one” you already knew that. Actually I am fed up with both parties. Its very depressing to think that our next president is going to be one of these elitist idiots who will promise anything to get in office and then spend the next fours years campaigning to stay in office.

Republicans support the Death Penalty.
The Death Penalty IS State Sanctioned Murder.
Republicans assent to murder;
It IS a simple airtight syllogism!!

Sorry, I posted before reading your response. Catching up. You say that:
“what we aren’t tolerant of is a group of people who want to change the laws to outlaw God and faith in the public discourse, and Democrats certainly qualify there!”
If people want to speak about their beliefs in public discourse, that’s fine with me, and every other Democrat I know. Where and when has anyone tried to prevent this?
Or are you speaking of school prayer, here? You object to the rulings that prohibit school officials from leading prayers because it would imply government support for religion, instead of being neutral? I can understand that view. Particularly in times like these, I understand the need for prayer. But I can’t advocate government or school officials leading the way. Sorry. I just think that parents who have other beliefs should be free from worrying that their kids are being encouraged, if not almost forced, to participate in some one’s religion.

Every politician running for president scares me except Ron Paul.

“You want nasty evil comments? Hang out at Huffington Post, Kos or any of the other mainstream democrat sites.
Nastiness is their specialty.”
You can add the Hispanic Business Forum to that list also!

Tex,
Sorry bro but you need to “clue in”. The problem isn’t with the so-called progressives or the so-called conservatives. They aren’t the real problem. It’s you and others like you – you’re your own worst enemies. Why? Because you buy the “bright and shinning lie”. You’ve heard “the lie” so long that you buy it – hook line and sinker. I hate to break it to you but “your country” is already gone. Gone? Yep, gone …pfffftt… out the window – down the tubes – vanished into thin air – however you want to put it. The yellow brick road is gone and you’re lost in a dreamworld of red, white, & blue poppies (so to speak). You’re in “the matrix”. You just don’t know it yet. A lot of people are like ostriches with their heads in the sand who refuse to honestly assess the situation. What am I talking about? For instance, the “Christian Nation” myth. The cornerstone of the Capitol building in Washington DC was laid in a Masonic ceremony presided over by none other than George Washington himself. It was relaid in 1992 or 1993. I don’t remember which but I was living in DC at the time and it was in all the papers. Bush is re-living the American “manifest destiny” thing but it’s nothing new, most presidents have bought into it. Don’t believe me? Simply look it up on the internet. The information is as close as your keyboard. The “country you love” or rather the illusion you’re in love with was already compromised long before you or I came along. Your “country” has been sold off piece by piece to foreign interests and large corporate conglomerates by politicians and those sworn to “uphold the constitution”. The country has been gutted by self interest groups and it’s largely a shell. Sound bad? Only if you buy “the lie”. For some insight into the most recent political debacles you might try reading the writings of Shadia Drury (even Atlas Shrugged might help a bit) After that try “escapeartist dot com”. Good luck & happy landings!

For all the democrats above who said they like Mrs. Edwards because she speaks her mind, let me ask you this. Ann Coulter speaks her mind too. So I guess you approve of her too? Just asking.

Let the fat lady sing. The Edwards are getting desperate as their campaign is going down the tubes. Hillary is self-destructing also. Obama is surging and the republicans will eat him alive, big ears and all. The best weapon the republicans have in the next election is, the democrat nominee.

Democrats did this to their own citizens – the most brutal, heinous violation of Consitutional, civil and human rights in this nation’s history. It is they who are to be feared

“Republicans like to spout the family values tag but more of them get caught with their hands in the cookie jar than all other political parties combined.”
Hey Bubba. I think you need to give us some names and dates on this one or we are going to have to call BS. You certainly must have all the data to make such a statement.

I would hope Democrats are smart enough to see through Smarmy Smile and the mental midget he calls his wife. “Republican Attack Machine?” Can you say “George Soros, Move-on, Media Matters, etc…?” That’s an Attack Machine. Grow up ABC.

“Wishing cancer on a woman who called Rove a name, or referred to Republicans as scary warrant this kind of hate!?”
No one is wishing cancer on anyone. Mrs. Edwards has already been deemed terminal. Are you going to blame that on Republicans too???
You mean old nasty Republicans!

In response to; “…You insult or equivocate, then feign ignorance. Do you also believe our military equivalent to the Nazis or the gulags?
Sorry if I insulted you. (Where did I equivocate?) If I and others are insulting, please understand that we’ve lived under Bush for seven years, and when we think of conservatism, we think of what he’s done. Huckabee SEEMS like a rational person, with more insight than people in the current administration. But no, I don’t want someone in the oval office who meets with religious leaders and talks about “taking this country back to Christ.” What happens to the several million people who aren’t Christians?
Bush’s “war” was not against terrorism. He foolishly invaded what was once one of the more westernized countries in the area. Iraq did not attack the World Trade Center on 9/11. Most of the attackers were from Saudi Arabia. They had support from Bin Laden, who was based in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I supported the war in Afghanistan. Mr. Bush removed troops from the search for Bin Laden and used them in Iraq.
Do I think that the U.S. detainment facilities are gulags? I don’t want to believe that American kids or officers are capable of cruelty, but I saw the photos of Abu Graib. This is not an issue of which party people belong to or which country did what to whom. If nothing else, can we all work to end torture? I think Jesus would have liked that.

Mike, the reason Elizabeth Edwards “can say anything she wants and get away with it” is called the FIRST AMENDMENT, genius.
Of course, it should surprise no one that republican supporters have no idea what the Constitution says, since Bush has been so busy violating everything it stands for.

If Elizabeth edward hast the brain she should start working hard so her husband can be nominated during the primary. Wake up Elizabeth- the Bush bashing and your Republican attack is no longer effective .your husband is stuck in the third place . we need new idea and less populist . stop the crap of talking about the 2 America because you are the other America- rich and filthy who’s husband wealth came from suing the hard working doctors and the corporation that provide the job that american’s enjoy . Your husband and his other trial lawyers are the problem. they drive companies out of this country because of the high cost of making business of this country.
Get real- If you want your husband to be the President and you as the First Lady- focus on Hillary because she is the real obstacle to your ambition. she gets away with all the platitude and no one from the other Democrat is chalenging her enough. Guess what- i don’t think she will pick your husband as a vice president either.
He is going to be someone from the midwest.Learn from Michele obama and Ophra winfrey- they are smart to go after Hillary and guess what the poll show.
edward

Is only natural that Democrats are scared. Cowards are by definition scared.

What’s scary is a man running around fomenting class envy by claiming there are two America’s. Being in the middle class, I wonder which America I’m in. Since only the upper 50% of income earners pay taxes, I can only assume that his plan is to make people who currently pay taxes pay even more.

She and her socialist, ambulance chasing husband should “scare” anyone. These socialists want us to give up everything while they rule in their 20,000+ square foot mansions, private jets, and SUV’s. They want the rest of us to ride bikes and live in caves while they tell us how to live. IF that doesn’t scare you then nothing will.

“He foolishly invaded …”
Says you?
you and others like you are what is wrong with this great country. You really need to get the hell out of here if you do not like it.
Your type is angry, bitter and spiteful to those who are different… many a workplace has been turned into a battlefield over your insistence of correctness and thought with the addition of not being able stop harassing other workers.
Normally, having ones own views are ok…but, for some reason…liberals see themselves as our “savior” and must preach and voice their own brand of viewpoints.
Yes liberalism used to mean something different, but congratulations! you and your buddies, with the help of your psychosis, have actually changed the meaning liberalism from its original meaning to mean big mouth, hater, intolerant bigot with the inability to not say hurtful things to those who disagree with you.
cheers!

@Jake, do I think that the U.S. detainment facilities are gulags? I don’t want to believe that American kids or officers are capable of cruelty, but I saw the photos of Abu Graib.
Only a progressive could possibly make an analogy between pink panties on the head and naked pyramid with the Bataan Death March. And to think there was a time I actually took these “people” somewhat seriously as a foe.

What a fool!
Such a clown!

Liberal Principles=Socialism=Communism=Stupidity.
What’s the damn difference? NONE!

Liz, you SHOULD be afraid of a husband who sinks to exploiting your fatal disease for his political ambitions. Not to worry, tho…as soon as you’re gone, he’ll find another money-grubbing bimbo to fight his fights for him…and I’ll bet the NEXT one will be attractive!

Anybody who views themselves as a republican or democrat first and american second scares me. Do we really want to let the politicians devide us like this or are we Americans. Stop fighting this stupid fight. We all basically want the freedoms afforded us by our constitution and obviously think that’s a great thing or wouldn’t continue to live here. let the politician squabble amongst themselves and lets get back to the business of making the country worth living in.

mval,
You make an excellent point, if I made it through the Jimmy Carter years I can make it through anything.
God Bless!

Democratic party supports is government neutrality concerning religion
If the Dems had it their way there would be NO religion at all!
Merry CHRISTmas!

“What the Democratic party supports is government neutrality concerning religion”
If the Dems had it their way there would be NO religion at all!
Merry CHRISTmas!

you sheeple think there’s really a “2 party system”? LOL!
This only proves Liberal women are stupid as they come.

“I see Elizabeth’s comments brought the rats out of the wood work!”
Yeah, the DemocRATS!

They don’t have the guts to be real communists. No, the secular progressive liberal democrat traitors are nothing but Neo Comms.

She and her high price haircut, jet setting spouse can pretend to be for the poor, while building an energy hungry mansion, complete with the carbon credit scam, but anyone with part of a brain should be able to recognize them as part of the aristocracy which plunders and controls us.
What a scam.

You are the perfect representative for the DNC and their mascot… a donkey

The “defeatocrats” claim they support free speech, right! What is it that those same defeatocrats did to Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller when they had the audacity to criticize the defeatocrat party? Defeatocrats only believe in free speech when it is their speech. Ever watch the discourse on the tube when there is a republican and a defeatocrat? When the defeatocrat is given their opportunity to speak their mind, the republican allows the defeatocrat to voice that opinion, HOWEVER, when it is the republicans turn to voice their opinion, the defeatocrat constantly interrupts, talks to the moderator, or at times actually shouts down the republican – yep good examples of believing in free speech.

OldOne: “I can’t believe so many of you are subscribing to the Politics of Hate… but then that’s what got Dubya elected the second time…”
Save it you old fool. Nobody knows hate like you and your liberal buddies.
Nothing is sadder than seeing someone so old and yet so very ignorant.

The comments I am reading here Scare Me! I can’t believe so many of you are subscribing to the Politics of Hate… but then that’s what got Dubya elected the second time, and that is what is killing our beloved Country!
Why don’t you people think for ourselves a bit? If you had a law suit you would want a good trial lawyer! Edwards got where he is by his own wits and the help of his wife… How many other candidates have kept the same wife as long? If you can’t keep your home together why would anyone think you could keep a Country together?

Sure not sure why not believing in evolution makes any difference … can someone name a societal beneft that has come from a belief in evolution?
For that matter … name one feat of beneficial applied science that has anything to do with befief in evolution or not?
Elizabeth Edwards … this is injecting YOUR religious view into the election. You don’t scare me though.

Criminals have no rights, even though the dems keep trying to give the vote to convicted felons (gee, why?) ergo: dems have no rights.So shut up. Get out. We will let you leave a lot more gently then we will keep listening to you for much longer.

OldOne – Remember the phrase “politics of personal destruction”? Interesting ain’t it that the defeatocrats would run to national television cameras and say its time to put and end to personal attacks, yet within 36 hours that very same defeatocrat is launching personal attacks against republicans – so I guess it is a bad thing for republicans to say nasty things about defeatocrats, but it is okay [despite their calls for ending the personal attacks] for defeatocrats to launch personal attacks! Where does the hypocracy of the defeatocrats end?
Remember this phrase “The War Is Lost”? That was the defeatocrat senate leader denegrating the men and women fighting the war in Iraq.
Or how about “The Surge Isn’t Working”? Interesting point about that phrase is the troops being sent to Iraq for the surge were still enroute and surge operations hadn’t even begun.

I quake in my boots over the possibility of scaring Elizabeth Edwards. Surely she would find me absurd because I cannot find any reason for an intelligent person to still believe in evolution. Mathematically impossible for the numbers to account for random selection, even with all the nanoseconds in “geologic time.”
Don’t get me started with concealed weaponry for law-abiding citizens to protect their property and families.

John,
Were you dropped on your head at birth or just missing a chromosome?
Just curious…

Drudge sure left this one up a long time. lol

No, I find it strange that your post is so contradictory. You say that President Bush was elected a second time by haters and you defend the women who makes such angry, hateful comments.

Facts…yeah. That’s what they are.

Paul MN.
Dont just make vague comments. Explain yourself.

“Why don’t you people think for ourselves a bit? ”
Did you perchance mean “think for yourselves?
As far as YOURSELF goes, I’ll think anything I want as long as it not based on emotion and feelings. I prefer logic and reason MYSELF!!!

I hope Huckabee wins the nomination. In the general he may win the Southern states where Jesus freaks (who are simply unable to ask critical questions of the world around them) are common, but he’ll lose the election big time.

Yeah that’s what I thought. Typical blowhard rightwing posturing with no facts to back up the lies and subterfuge. Instead of spending all your time typing regurgitated pablum, try researching actual FACTS about the subjects you pretend to have knowledge of. Insults and lies. What a platform to support. Go republicans!!!!!!

Leave Br/it/ta/ny/ Elizabeth ALONE!!!

Steve: if by most you mean just over half, that’s true. Unfortunately, most haven’t cared to look at the evidence, and believe what their pastor tells them. Evolution is a concrete scientific theory(theory in science being a much more solid word then we use it colloquially, hence the “theory” of gravity) and it is hailed by thousands of scientists as one of the most successful proven and tested theories of the last century. Most Creation “scientists”(chuckle chuckle) work backwards from a conclusion that must be true to satisfy their faith. This is not how science works.

Sally -
Qualify “many”. Of course there are a handful. It would be probable that there would be. But the overwhelming scientific evidence and overwhelming scientific consensus is the end of the story. Name either a good evidence, or a good creation scientist. Again, scientists dont have a dog in the fight. They dont have a reason to want to believe in an old earth. That’s just what they found. Creationists have the biggest dog in the fight – religion is everything to them, and if evolution is true, and if the world is millions of years old, then the Bible is errant.

Republicans (and I’m talking about the politicians in charge of this country) SCARE ME TOO.
I think THEY are the reasons we should arm our young people instead. Just in case.
All kidding aside, these Republican politicians scare the bejezus out of Republican VOTERS.
Which is why a lot of them are going to vote for Edwards in the general election.
Which is also why a lot are leaving the Republican party, so they can vote for Edwards in the primaries.
Maybe…
they are more scared of John Edwards than Elizabeth is of them.
Take a good read at some of these comments. You can see the whites of their eyes.

jjaok,
I have explained enough in my previous posts.
No doubt, having read your posts that there would be no point.
I truly believe that most (not all) who consider themselves liberals allow their anger and hatred to define their politics (e.g., hate Christians, God, conservatives, republicans, etc. etc.).
Once you meet a liberal you pretty much know that you just met a person with many many issues that have not been dealt with in their life.
P.S: I find that evolution is the new scientology. Question it and watch the anti-Christians swarm to its defense.

[quote]Republicans have no respect for Bill of Rights, privacy, human beings.[end-quote] You mean like defeatocrats wanting to give constitutional rights to terrorists who have vowed to destroy western civilizations. And the defeatocrats never violated peoples privacy – I guess MLK would take you to task over that one. Whom is it again who is fore-square behind unrestricted abortions?
[quote]They force others to fight their wars for profit for them, treat veterans like cannon fodder and even deprive our armed forces of their right to vote.[end-quote] I guess you didn’t know that the draft ended in the early 1970s, so no one is being “forced to fight. And defeatocrats cared about veterans – where was the defeatocrat concern for veterans under Carter when he froze defense spending and then again under Clinton? As for the right to vote, I seem to recall that al-Gore and John Kerry during their presidential elections managed to have thousands of military absentee ballots disqualified.
[quote]They deprive regular citizens of their right to vote.[end-quote] How so, please provide an internet address for this so we can all read your source – somehow I have a feeling the website would either be media matters, moveone.org, and democrat underground.
[quote]Less than 33 percent of people support President Bush, and he was trying to spy on citizens even before 9/11.[end-quote] How convenient of you to forget that the approval rating of the democrat controlled congress is half of what President Bush’s ratings are.
[quote]The Republicans believe in torture and bring disrespect and infamy to America in the eyes of the rest of the world. I hope all these bloggers here will take a trip around the world and check it out.[end-quote] I have no problem what-so-ever torturing someone who has vowed to kill all of us in this country, especially if that torture results in saving my fellow American’s lives, including yours. And the defeatocrats referring to the coalition put together to fight the global war on terrorism as “the coalition of the bribed” to garner respect from those nations? I would rather be a nation “feared” than a nation of wimps.

Thats a pretty vicious personal attack towards Huckabee. Elizabeth Edwards was pretty out of line there and it hasnt been the first time. But John Edwards is even worse – hes letting his cancer-stricken wife give the worst personal attacks…because he knows no one will dare criticize her given her illness. I feel bad for her condition but she shouldnt be using that to her advantage. If I was Huckabee Id just say, “what did I ever say about her other than ‘I pray she gets well’? There was no need for that personal attack, Mrs. Edwards”.

Braintease, you don’t understand. Democrats should be very, very frightened by Christians. If Christians ever have even the slightest influence in the culture again, how will Democrats convince anybody that they’re virtuous?
The only way Democrats can continue to pretend to be virtuous is to maintain an utter monopoly on moral teaching — reminding all the kids so long as they vote for affirmative action and Save The Planet, it doesn’t matter if they dishonor their parents, commit adultery, steal (for their social programs), kill (their babies), bear false witness (about political opponents), covert (the rich), etc.
See why they’re scared?
