Also, we must all work diligently in the coming months to convince “progressives” that the Democratic Party has let them down. They must abandon the party. Their only recourse is to join and work for the Green Party moving forward. I may even register as a Green Party member to swell their voter registration rolls. Divide and conquer.

Begin with putting all known “progressives” in your sphere of influence on the Green Party mail list from their website. Great fun. Start inundating them with information now.

I think he was brought in to get a lot of trial lawyer money flowing to the ticket. Which I believe he did. I found this odd:

Edwards joked that with his exodus -- and that of fellow Southern Democrats Ernest "Fritz" Hollings of South Carolina and John Breaux of Louisiana -- "our accents will be missed here on the floor of the United States Senate."

Does he not realize NC/SC/LA will all still have 2 senators? The accent quotient will remain the same.

Already starting the Bible thumping for 08...

I'm so sick of these jerks saying they are going to keep "fighting" for us when the fact is they are fighting AGAINST us - against our President, against our military, against the war, against our values, against the will of the majority of Americans. The only ones they are fighting for are themselves and anyone who is against the U.S.

And as far as Lurch goes, we don't need him fighting for us - he showed us during the Vietnam war how he "fought for us" - by conspiring with our enemies and calling other Vietnam vets war criminals. He's a coward, a traitor, a do-nothing senator, a narcissistic POS, and he couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. And cutie pie Edwards is a joke.

A parade of senators, including Edwards, paid tribute to their leader. But Edwards also got some salutes.

Barbara Boxer??

Chris Dodd??

I was warned to be prepared to puke and so in spirit I did!!

Is is just me or are the democrats talking more and more about church and God in their interviews and speeches of late?

They probably figure they've got four years and a mid term election to practice the "God thing" enough to where they can fool the hayseeds into voting for them.

But he made it clear he won't disappear from the political scene.

To sue has become politics.

I can just see the Senators, looking at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces, after Edwards finished his rant, and asking questions like: Who was that boy? What was he doing addressing the Senate? He is saying bye, but I don't recall ever meeting him-do you? If that was the Pizza delivery boy- When do we eat? Never mind-just listening to him spoiled my appetite.

Edwards' wife was grilled by Katie Couric about why she didn't get a mamogram earlier. No had no good answer.

As much as I hate Liz Edwards, being hectored like that by al Qatie was uncalled for. Isn't that supposed to be a private decision up to the woman and her doctor? Oh, that's right, that only applies when the woman is butchering her unborn child. Liz Edwards should have thrown al Qatie on the floor and sat on her for that.

Even Hollywoodites can fake a southern accent as good as or better than Edwards and with more sincerity and respect.

I do think many of them will try to play what they think of as "the GOD card." God will use it to convict some of them and bring them to a knowledge of Him. As for the others, God will use them as well. God will not be mocked.

If a man running for President has to take a two year vacation it seems he is not doing his job at all. When that job is as important as a governer or sinawhore it seems as if the state if not the entire country is not being treated fair.

I would like to see some limits placed on it. Maybe you have to retire so someone can actually do the job. What is really bothersome is that the President of the USA has to campaign for two years to be reelected. You cannot tell me he is doing the job of running the country very well.

I suggest a 6 year term for President with no reelection. 6 years gives him time to accomplish things that cannot be done in 4 years. If a sinawhore or gov. wants to run they should be forced to resign "for the good of the children".

More time to hear the screen door slam when my kids come home ...

Sreen door ala NC 1960's. Right Johnnie, the poor NC good old boy, just one of us. I would like to see a photo of the Edwards NC residence so I could see that "screen door" with my own eyes. What ya wanna bet Johnnie doesn't even have a screen door?
