I don't think that Edwards is a faggot. I think he is a "GIRLYMAN" who hides behind his wife on ocassion, and behind his stupidity the rest of the time.
The US is the most generous nation on the earth - Democratic politicians aren't. Just check Gore, Kerry, Kennedy, etc. their records on giving to Katrina relief, the Tsunami relief, anything for Iraq or Afghanistan, or to Israel, or Rwanda, or the Darfur people.
Edwards is a class action lawsuit parasite, leech, bloodsucker, and intellectual wasteland.
Years ago his campaign sent me a fundraising letter that had to have been written by Karl Marx or Lenin. Edwards is in the "closet", not as a faggot, queer, gay, or happy person, but as a "closet Marxist."
I don't care about someone's sexual orientation. However, if Edwards decided to keep his two anti-Catholic staffers inspite of their writings, then why can't Ann Coulter say something that is not politically correct, or even polite, and then be crucified for it.
I'll call Edwards a "pantywaist", "a waste", a "closet marxist", a "mental midget" (no slight intended to "little people"), a "moron" (that should upset a lot of Democrats), a "fool", and a "disgrace" to American politics, but I really do "respect" the guy - NOT!!
The term "Faggot" has a wide range of definations but the core defination comes from the original defination.
"Faggot" a tight bundle of wood, sticks, straw, tobbaco etc. Also - Anything that is bundled tightly.
I think Edwards meets that defination.
