I apologize for my sharp tongue on the John Edwards threads.
(HE does change hearts and minds *g*).
If our misled press can mislead our fellow Americans about John Kerry's war record while our Soldiers are risking their lives against terrorists in Iraq - after 911- our press will most likely be willing to do anything to win, and with our fellow Americans asleep at the wheel. We need to help spread the word, and pray.
I so hoped Edwards wouldn't get this nomination.
John Edwards divides - exploiting our human differences in front of national, local - international audiences - rich v. poor, men v. women, old v. young, employee v. employer - pitting group against group - when we need most to unite in strength against a common enemy, and for our mutual defense and freedom. He exploits our human weaknesses - inciting hatred, envy, fear - in pursuit of power, "on behalf of" the powerless - and is welcomed on America's University campuses, and TV news shows, in Old Europe, and on Hillary's short list of kindred pols.
Could America survive a Kerry/Edwards ticket?
We know who the enemy hopes won't win.

"I think we have to get back to what worked in the 90's, you know. We know what works. What happened in the 80's and what's happening now doesn't work. You know we've learned these lessons. I think it's balanced budgets; it's fiscal discipline. I opposed the tax cut that the president got passed through the Congress in a highly partisan vote. I thought it was irresponsible. To me I go back [inaud.] commonsense. The notion that we were going to be able to predict what was going to happen not only this year or the following year but ten years from now is just comical. I mean it was ridiculous for us to be thinking like that.." -Remarks at House Party Chris & Kristin Sullivan's Home -Concord, NH, Feb. 2002.
