You should move to Mexico, troll. - Reply to this comment
- "I have really wanted to vote for him since he had the b@lls to tell Fox News to shove it but this makes me think less of him. If he was uneasy about voting for the war, why did he vote for it?? If he doesn't trust his conscience and listens to pundits, I can't very well support him." Posted by anvilheadsix
It's that old "run with the pack" or "mob" mentality. No one wants to buck the system, and in fact, only one presidential candidate had the courage to do so.
I sort of identify with Edwards because he was born into a poor family and dragged himself by the bootstraps. What I don't like about him is he had to become a lawyer to do it. Washington is full of lawyers and other no-accounts who never really worked a day in their lives, and we know the mess our Capital has become.
It appears to me that Edwards' weasel-words are just weak-asssed excuses and now he's trying to make up for a bad deed to get people to like him.
Forget it, John. You're not my first choice, or second, or third. The only way I'll vote for you is if you are the (D) nominee, 'cause I've NEVER knowingly voted for a (r) at any level of government. - Reply to this comment
- And tejasdemo, you and I are 100% in agreement on Edwards's contrition (and probably a lot of other issues in his campaign, as well). This story does not amount to much.

- Scott,
You talking to me with that "choke" comment ? At least Edwards has the guts to admit when he's wrong.

tejasdemo,
I do apologize. But that was a swipe at Musty2U.
I am very much in the John Edwards camp and I will be campaigning for him. - Reply to this comment
- Gracias Musty

- Tejas, it was me he was chiding. I had refered to making enough ching for dinner in the market.
But, my advice to you will also be, watch that Edwards. We did here in NC and learned the hard way. Maybe similar to the Texans with ol Georgie Boy. - Reply to this comment
- The real culprits in the Iraq war are the media who pushed it hard.
Who took seriously the ridiculous claims that even a 5 year old would have questioned.
Who actually looked at George Bush and thought he could lead a country after leading the state of Texas right down the tubes.
Who used to think it was entertaining to watch Don Rumsfield do a press conference instead of actually asking the moron tough questions and demanding answers.
Who actually let a sitting President get away with press conferences without taking any questions.
Who too have gotten rich off this war. Whose anchors run around on Leno and Letterman like movie stars while young men and women get killed and maimed for nothing.
When was the last time you heard one of these folks admit their substantial culpability in this mess ? - Reply to this comment

- Face it, there's no excuse for voting for this war, then or now.... This snively little scumball should be sent to lead patrols in Iraq with his buddy Dubya and all the other traitors that voted in their own best interests instead of in the USA's best interest...

- Pilgrim, I mean Scott, the volatility today caused by the Mortgage Brokers Assn report blathering about the liquidity crisis has led to a minor correction; however, this is dolly good in the long run. As to HAL, the after-hours trading has been up nearly 1.5%. I've said it before, not great, but it makes dinner.

- Musty2U,
And if I were you, I would sell my Halliburton stock well before the election, you selfish, greedy p r i c k! - Reply to this comment
- Scott, go ahead and put your money on that horse. When things don't quite appear like you anticipated, remember ol' Musty saw through him.

Doesn't say too much about the strength of his convictions.
This seems to be a democratic problem -- spineless candidates who listen too much to their advisers.
That was Kerry's problem too. He played it too safe until he was swiftboated into oblivion! - Reply to this comment
- Ann's column "mysteriously has disappeared" in our local paper. No questions asked if the subscribers liked it or not. Instant censorship.

- Musty2U,
Just knowing that you are so vehemently opposed to Edwards makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside and my support for him is further solidified. - Reply to this comment
