Geez, I actually have more respect for the ambulance chaser after seeing the above transcript. Impressive.

Not that I'll be putting his bumper sticker on my car anytime soon...

[The G Man]

"EDWARDS: I think that we were right to go. I think we were right to go to the United Nations. I think we couldn’t let those who could veto in the Security Council hold us hostage. And I think Saddam Hussein, being gone is good. Good for the American people, good for the security of that region of the world, and good for the Iraqi people. "

Well, for a sleazy trial lawyer, appears you've got some slight degree of honor in you. (He also must know that once the Bush campaign fires their engines up they're gonna steamroll everyone on the Iraq issue)

[Huck]

The United States has had a long history of nonintervention, of basically taking the “don’t tread on me and if you don’t we’ll leave you alone.” We broke with that tradition for Iraq. What is your standard for breaking with tradition of nonintervention?

What is this fat, no-ratings sissy talking about? American non-intervention in the Spanish American War? Mexican War? WWI? WW2? Korea? Nam? Grenada? IraqI? What planet is fatboy living on?

As everyone here knows, pointed out so perfectly by El Rushbo, the democrats need to feed their partners in crime by deciding on a universal term that is then used to create the illusion that there is a common realization among the press of a real problem.....

When this was used in a simpler news world, it looked like everyone came upon the thought innocently and the folks at home were fooled...

The media whores who support this criminal manipulation designed to look like "truth" have been eviserated by the 24 hour news cycle that sees the "word of the year" coming up way to often to be just a coincedence.....it becomes clear that this is an organized ploy of unscruplous people that are willing to do anything to regain the power they've lost

Welcome to credibility

The strongest point in GWB's arsenal is that people believe him and trust him, (unlike the bozo who last occupied the White House) so of course, the democrats see that this must be attacked.....

The problem with gravitas in the past, and credibility now is that it gets driven into the ground by so many different media types and dem politicians, that it becomes clear to the folks at home that this isn't anything more than a campaign message, and it gets ignored becausethey do not like being manipulated.

Then the democrats walk around after the election wondering what happened and why there are now more GOP senators than before.....

Until they get rid of the terry's and the beasts, they are doomed

Just like the jobs lie.....America is changing and the jobs aren't being lost, more and more Americans are moving into the work force as Self Employed, possibily the coolest way to work....the democrats just leave out the fact that by measuring housholds instead of payrolls we are gaining not loosing, and for not making this point LOUDER I blame the RNC, not the crooks on the other side....

Come on Ed...you've started strong, now lets grow a pair and attack the same way.....

And this year's word for the GOP, to be used everywhere, should be LIARS

[joesnuffy]

Hitlery-Edwards what a ticket

[The G Man]

Wiz ... are you going to spam every thread with that?

[LibLieSlayer]

Someone should lance (Prissy Chrissy) like the festering boil that he is! That boy is infected.

Edweird is just starting his seperation and clarification stage from Lurch. Funny thing, he beat "horse face" in the race to the "middle". I will never trust Edweird. As a "dim" trial lawyer, he would argue that what he said was diametricly opposed to what he actually stated.

Edwards is licking his chops to repeal the tax cuts. He thinks he is going to get 1/3 of such repeal and expenses.

[MEG33]

I did too when he stood up for his vote and going to Iraq.

He then he started trashing the character of George Bush.He said despicable things.I like him less,now.I could not finish it.

[Martin Tell]

Interesting.

Of course Edwards voted against funding the Iraqi occupation, but still he seems to make sense.

Edwards does well among independents and Republicans, even with his class warfare rhetoric. I find his anti-free trade positions troubling for the future of the economy. Still I like the guy, (is it all a lawyer trick?)

I think Edwards will be the next Democrat president (in 2008).

[The Wizard]

I posted it as a warning to the folks and someone moved it off the topic, what am I supposed to do when a moderator doesn't like me

[garylmoore]

They left will use a pound of truth to hide one ounce of lie.

[LibLieSlayer]

You will not think that after President Bush's campaign "educates" you on his past. He has been involved in some cases (where he profited greatly at the expense of those he pretends to represent), and when these and other sheister facts come out, his "glow" will be hugely deminished.

More people trust Kerry than Bush.

[mware]

MATTHEWS: Were you misled by the president in the State of the Union address on the argument that Saddam Hussein was trying get uranium from Niger

Here we go again, the president did not say Niger in the State of the Union address

[William McKinley]

Except for the fact that he didn't have the balls to say this when Dean was in the race, and the fact that he flat out lies about there not being a coalition in Iraq (tell that to the Poles who just died, tell that to the Brits, tell that to the Aussies).

The fun part of this is what he is doing now is trying to draw some differences between himself and Kerry to see if he can steal the nomination-- and if he gets that traction, you will see Kerry start to adopt the same positions to remove the distinctions. So we are likely to see Kerry twisting himself into inconsistency again.

[Coop]

Not a chance.

[The Wizard]

no one trusts Kerry
