Doc's response:

What is the source for this info? How can we verify
some of this stuff?

Which votes did he vote with Hill & Ted on? Doesnt Ted
& Hillary and Edwards vote w/ Republicans on some
things too? Hill, Edwards, and various Republicans
have agreed on votes many times (Patriot Act, going to
Iraq, etc). What is this supposed to mean?

The stuff about Iraq- was he relying on what the Bush
admin provided him? I know most folks in the US also
trusted Bush on these things too. Is the lesson that
Edwards should not have believed Bush?

Also- as far as Edwards or Kerry missing votes, it
would also be interesting to know how much time Bush &
Cheney have spent campaigning on the job when they
could have been wrapping up Iraq or fixing the
economy- that way we would have a better context as to
how bad this really is.

Truth is, all of the candidates are campiagning owhen
they probably should be doing the job, not just
Edwards. It's a legitimate concern for both sides.

I'll take Edwards exaggerated flaws over Bush's real
ones anyday

1. So, the worst they can come up with is that he agrees with Bush on some

issues?

That's the worst the pukes can do? Um, that's really pathetic.

On edit: He was smart enough to jump off that ship, though, wasn't he?

2. Edward'f comes from a family that has a union background.

That's why they are scared shitless of him. Period. Because unions are the only thing standing between our work-force and becoming a banana republic.

3. Twas just rhetoric

So get over it.
Tell him to look at the past accomplishments of the candidates.
Clue...Bush has none.
