Edwards Angry With Howard Dean

Former Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards said Saturday that he has not decided whether he will run for president in 2008.

The former U.S. senator from North Carolina said his family is focused on the recovery of his wife, who was diagnosed with breast cancer the day after the 2004 general election.

"Our first priority right now is making sure Elizabeth gets well," Edwards said at an annual state Democratic fundraising dinner. "There's a lot of work left to be done."

Edwards also disagreed with Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean's controversial comment in a speech to liberal activists Thursday that many Republicans "have never made an honest living in their lives."

"The chairman of the DNC is not the spokesman for the party," Edwards said. "He's a voice. I don't agree with it."

On Saturday, Dean continued his barrage on conservatives while visiting Montana, lambasting the Bush administration for its fiscal irresponsibility and war on terror.

He said President Bush needs to get tough on real threats to national security, nations like North Korea and Iran that claim to have nuclear weapons, rather than nations like Iraq, where no weapons of mass destruction were ever found.

"I would make the argument that America is safer when Democrats are in the White House, than when Republicans are in the White House," Dean said in a speech to Democratic supporters.

There was no immediate response from the GOP to Dean's comments Saturday, but RNC spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said after Thursday's speech that Dean's "priority is to generate mudslinging headlines rather than engage in substantive debate."

"The chairman of the DNC is not the spokesman for the party," Edwards said. "He's a voice. I don't agree with it."

Yeah he is.

[ozzymandus]

I can tell edwards is lying. His lips are moving. He made the same type of remarks about Republicans many times during his campaign, as did his zombie-like partner, kerry.

[EagleUSA]

Yeah he is.

Well, finally the stark-mad libs are figuring out that Dean is not being accepted as anything other than some raving idiot (ala Gore) that PRECISELY SHOWS what the Dems are all about. Edwards is smart enough to know the libs cannot expose their REAL AGENDA. That would be political suicide (or should I say Arkancide).

Rave on Dean -- the insane madness of the left is its bane -- let's keep hoping.

Dean is a very representative voice of the democrats, hateful and divisive.

BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh yes he is !!

BTW .. if he's 1st priority is his wife

Then why is he out raising money?

"I just want you to know: I'm very, very disappointed with you, Howard!"

[SandRat]

Oh goodie! The Rats are fighting among themselves.

I'm ready!

Dean is a very representative voice of the democrats, hateful and divisive.

Edwards is representative of the DemoRats, conniving, untruthful, unproductive of useful product, and an ambulance chaser.

[Tacis]

When Edwards stomps his little foot and tosses his curls, you know he is annoyed.

Why don't they resolve this difference of opinion in a manner that is appropriate to dem leaders? They could have a wrestle-off in wet pig s**t!

"There was no immediate response from the GOP to Dean's comments Saturday, but RNC spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said after Thursday's speech that Dean's "priority is to generate mudslinging headlines rather than engage in substantive debate."

Well, since ole Dean is doing such a GREAT job of shaming his party, why not just let him continue, unhindered?

[pleasedontzotme]

Then why is he out raising money?

I think he was discussing his planning for the future, which is understandably difficult when you have a spouse with cancer.

Plus, it's not like he's going to be able to cure her by staying at home. Probably, they'd all go nuts. (Not a comment on Edwards, just a comment on the necessity of keeping up as much of your life as possible.)

[My2Cents]

Silky Pony Alert LOL

[wagglebee]

I agree, I can't think of anything better for the GOP than having Dean right where he is.

[devolve]

 DEAN   TWILIGHT   ZONE

Exqueeze me? Then what the heck are y'all payin' him for?!

Howard Dean suggesting that there are Republicans who never worked? Where did he meet these people....at Aspen while skiing his way through the VietNam War with medical exemption? Or was it later?...like when he became Governor of Vermont after the Governor died.

Howard Dean couldn't win an election for dog catcher with any close scrutiny.

[Czar]

The Breck Girl vs. The Screamer -- perfect...

I had to look twice to see where he was speaking to know why anyone whould care to hear him opine. He was talking at a democrat fundraiser! LOL.
