I am so glad that I voted for and donated to Edwards |
|
He was on Wolf Blitzer a few minutes ago and said that, yes, he is considering a run in 2008 but has not yet decided.
He sounded so good and so articulate and to the point.
Please, John, run. I will vote for you again and will donate as I can.

1. Isn't it refreshing to see politicians who are well spoken, intelligent, |
|
honest, handsome, and can carry on a conversation without a lot of effort? So unlike what we have now. John Edwards was great on CNN, I wish he were helping to run our government now instead of the Nazis we have.

4. He was excellent, and did not refute Kerry like other dems... |
|
He understands we need unity and he said he agreed with Kerry's op-ed. Thank god - after listening to Bayh talk about how he disareed with those calling for withdrawl, it was good to see a democrat stand up for all democrats and say that we are together on this.
He has my vote. He was great about everything - Iraq, Minimum wage, Rumsfeld, Libby. The more I see him, the more he impresses me.

6. Even about censure and impeachment |
|
"if we take the house in November, we need to concentrate on issues that matter to individual Americans - minimum wage, health care, the war in iraq - not on voting on censure, but we need to hold him (Bush) accountable."

7. "Democrats are about affecting people's lives... not about the process." |
|
He said that he thinks a censure is completely reasonable, but we also need to hold bush accountable in practical, real-life terms and issues that people go through, which as you quoted is minimum wage, healthcare, etc. Spot on.
"Well, what I believe is, this president has engaged in behavior that certainly justifies censure. But -- I want to add to that, because it's important. I believe that the most important thing is to hold the president accountable. Because what matters is not some censure motion in the United States Senate. What matters is what's going to happen going forward. Which means Congress needs to take its responsibility both for the oversight of the war in Iraq, for the oversight of what's happening here domestically. We have huge issues here in this country and most of America are interested in the things that affect their day to day lives, including the war in Iraq."
"I think the first thing that will happen if the Democrats take control of the House and Senate is we're going to address the problems that people face in their lives. The war in Iraq, health care crisis in America, raising the minimum wage. Democrats are about affecting people's lives. They are not about process."

5. I Completely Agree... I Could Go On & On & On About Many |
|
specifics, but I've mentioned many of them before. I just think he's so forthright and amazing as it seems, HONEST! And then there's Elizabeth, what a LADY! She intelligent and knows how to manage herself in any situation!
I really have GREAT GREAT respect for him, and for what he is doing now and how he has conducted himself SINCE the election. As a Liberal, he's MY GUY!!
A big push to get him so MAJOR attention would show the Independents that Democrats can actually make a good decision on a guy from their "back yard!" Never mind that he supposedly didn't carry his state, I will never ever believe the last election was FAIR either! There was plenty of fraud going on, and I think it was spread ALL OVER THE COUNTRY... just to make the Dems look bad! Election Reform needs some SUPER help before November. We STILL don't have paper ballots where I live! But then what should I expect... Cruella gets to do what SHE wants!
Going back to watch the "flaming fest" tonight!

8. I hope he runs also. I have always thought he is exactly what we |
|
need right now in this country. An articulate, pleasant man who knows how much diplomacy is needed to get things done. If he runs, I will certainly support him and donate generously to his campaign, and I really love and admire Elizabeth and she would make an excellent first lady - to me, this entire family reeks of compassion, and not the fake Bush compassion either. Run, John, please.

11. Once Again... As You Can See... I Too Want To See |
|
him run and let America take a REAL close look at some REAL integrity!
And let's please not Re-Hash his Iraq vote... I think maybe he truly believes that phrase (the one The Idiot botched), Fool Me Once, Your Fault! Fool Me Twice, My Fault! I'd put my money on the fact that he most porbably learned a VERY valuable lesson!
A fact that these crooks in charge have YET to learn! They ARE the FOOLS and we need to show them "we get it!"
GO, JOHNNY, GO!!
