edwards has clintonian appeal

[westsidexview]

edwards brings a natural connection to most people because his background has not been one of privilege. he can relate to most people because he rode in the same boat a lot of us do. gore vidal said we have two right-wing parties in this country- the democratic and the republican parties. i think that clinton oozed with "i am just like you vibes" and edwards does the same. with all others on the ticket you get a bunch of white guys who come from privilege who see politics as a sport and a duty to preserve the status quo. i do not get this feeling with edwards. he knows what common people go through and this will only help us win.

1. true

I'm getting that sense too.

[Melodybe]

2. I agree, Edwards is Clinton without the zipper problem

He did one hell of a job raising his children. I looked at the web page dedicated to his son Wade and that was one decent kid.

I was in tears when I read his essay about being a good American.

I am beginning to think that Edwards just may be the real deal.

11. You may be a registered Dem but do you vote Dem?

Of course that's none of my business.

12. Breck Academy?

I'm supposed to be impressed? Your education did you an injustice, then. I do hope you didn't pay good money for it!

:boring:

[greenbriar]

19. honey, now is the time to unite

gephart would have been a big mistake.

Edwards is JUST what we needed.


think honey child.... you must have just graduated this year.



What does edwards offer??? YOUTH appeal and vitality and honesty and down to earth charm.

what does gephart offer??????????????????


yea thats right ZERO ziltch not even missouri!

[greenbriar]

5. oh yea

you are a real democrat:puke: :dunce: :spank:

[ibegurpard]

7. BWHAHAHAHAHAHA

Breck Grrl? Oh please.
Gephardt appealing to moderates on the fence? Once again: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Thanks for my morning laughs.

[Redleg]

9. Nice try to belittle Edwards.

You would prefer Gephardt because he would be a weak VP candidate.

[PA Democrat]

10. Gee, I didn't realize that "huge lawsuit awards" caused amnesia

I doubt that John Edwards has forgotten his working class background.

[AspenRose]

15. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Republicans can't STAND it when someone who worked hard to earn their money legitimately actually wants to make a difference, GIVE BACK and FIGHT for the rights of others to overcome obstacles and do the same.

Having "enormous wealth" is not the issue. You should have just made it easier on yourself and said "limousine liberal." We know that's what you were really thinking. Nice try.

Hasta la vista.

[RummyTheDummy]

18. Wrong-- sort of

Very often people who grow up in families like Edwards and go on to have incredible financial success later on in life never forget their struggles. I've known several people like that both personally and professionally.

Some became greedy fucks, but some also never forgot and understood how fortunate they were. I don't think you can make a blanket statement on it. It's a case by case thing. My hunch is Edwards hasn't forgotten where he came from even though he's become fabulously wealthy, from work I might add as opposed to inheriting it.

24. "von" ribbentrop republicans

a lot of people who come from humble backgrounds make money and then change to republicans as a badge of their newfound status. ronald reagan is a shining example of this phenomena. it is just like ribbentrop , hitler's foreign minister henchman added a "von" to his name as a symbol of his new elite status. a lot of "von" republicans will come back home and pull that democratic level in November. john edwards could have been a von-republican but he stayed true to his roots. you gotta respect that.

[Redleg]

6. I just heard a moderate Republican colleage of mine say that.

I believe they do share some similarities in several positive attributes.

16. Do you have an reasons that aren't from today's RW blast fax?

[Bunny]

17. If you didn't use your very first post to attack the VP candidate,

you probably wouldn't be attacked. Think, child, think!

25. No, you attacked the VP CANDIDATE, as I said in my post.

Is basic reading in the curriculum at the Breck Academy?

Here's your very first post:

"I'm not so sure Edwards knows what common people go through any more -- since his enormous wealth was earned from huge lawsuit awards. Lots of hair appeal, but where is the experience?

I would have preferred Gephardt, to appeal to more DNC voters (and moderates on the fence). JFK's poll-driven VP choice may lose it for us. "

That may not be a vicious attack, but it's not complimentary to the VP candidate.

29. ***snarf**

Honey, you aren't nearly as cute as you think. Go back to the hair academy - you are perfect for it!!

[greenbriar]

31. are you even old enough

to vote?


it is clear you don't understand the issues.



The ticket is made. Dems UNITE

put the whiney I wanted gebhardt away. Embrace the future.




We MUST get the faker out of the white house.

[Sideways]

32. Remediary courses? WTF?

Would that be remedial? And FYI saying you "attacked" and later labeling your remarks as "not complimentary" is not a contradiction, it is called logic support. Obviously hair shampoo school didn't teach you that. WTF is ickle? You are so GD stupid my teeth want to fall out.

[Bunny]

33. Stop sugar-coating it, Mary T!!

Say what you're really thinking! :evilgrin:

26. honey keep

digging that hole

[Bunny]

27. I suspect our little friend is done digging.

30. Here Are A Few Hair Comments For You Breck

Wash That Freep Right Out Of Your Hair.....Don't Hate Me Because I'm Freeperful. You are so fucking disingenuous it makes my teeth ache. This ain't your freepers Buick Breck..go away....and wash your head not just your hair.

[greenbriar]

34. way to go

I am afraid we lost our new toy.

[Poiuyt]

13. Edwards reminds me of Russ Feingold

He exudes optimism and enthusiasm.

And I don't buy this "lack of foreign policy experience" shit. He's better qualified today than Bush is. Bush just doesn't have the "feel" for foreign policy.

[LTR]

20. Remember that Bush didn't know the names of key foreign leaders

Including the leader of Pakistan?

I'll bet Edwards could answer that question, having served on the intelligence committee.

[Poiuyt]

22. Remember when he asked the president of Brazil

if they have many black people in Brazil?

What an idiot. I would be better at foreign policy that Bush

[greenbriar]

21. before fucking up all our national treaties, bush's foreign

policy experience was eating at the



international house of pancakes

[greenbriar]

35. great work ladies

bye bye breck girl
