Folks--stay strong
the jackals are threatening us with what we hold near and dear to change camps. Please stay strong. Please stay through Super Tuesday.
I am NOT giving up until John says to give up.

1. I noticed that it has worked on a few supporters.
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 02:40 AM by Nutmegger
A few of them have defected. There's no way in hell I'm defecting.

Edwards said it best: "Two races down; 48 states left to go."

I have such admiration for John and Elizabeth. I will not give up on them and their message of true change!

Edwards 2008!!!

Another BIG thank you Horse with no Name!!!

3. People have their priorities all screwed up.
They like being on the winning team. It's not the message that counts, it's the euphoria of being a part of something that's on top. But it takes real courage and real guts to stick to your principles and do what your heart and soul tells you is truly the right thing to do.

And for most of us, I suspect we hang in there with John. And he's got a lot of good people supporting him. He just needs time to get his message heard, and with a media blackout it will be difficult.

Donate when/whatever you can, and be sure to send messages of thanks and support through the website. I know they do read them, and at least some of them do get to John and Elizabeth as they travel. Perhaps they read all of them, I don't know but I have received personal messages from Elizabeth a couple of times.

Hang in there, good always overcomes evil, we're supporting the best candidate. :)

7. I will Never EVER give up.Those defections are sickening. But I have been sickened a lot
by both the behavior and moral compass of many on DU lately. It is frightening what some who claim to be Dems can believe. The worship of "money" above all" is very disa[ppointing.I knew we were in for a tough slog when so many refused to recognize personal sacrifice and equated "money" with sacrifice. I do not think John will ever really give up.Neither should we!

8. I'm With YOU!! I'm Staying FOREVER!! Will Skip Voting If It's Not
him. You see, I've seen many elections come and go, I KNOW how to lose. I started my first campaign with McGovern, so I DO know how to lose! But this time, I will stand my ground and stay with the one I believe in! I don't see much difference between Obama or Clinton, other than the fact that Clinton has been a Senator longer and has been in D.C. longer!

She has more Elites locked in with her, which makes me sick because it's THOSE kind of people who have let this country go down the drain. I don't think either one will do much different than what we already have. And that's sad and it SUCKS!!

So, if after 2/5/08 many of you switch, my husband will be happy that I'm not always in here blogging! My last HURRAH!

10. I'm here until
they hand him the keys to the White House. With John's arrival, it'll turn from the Blight House back into the White House. :woohoo:

11. I'm not giving up
I truly believe Edwards is the best choice for America, and he has the best numbers against ALL of the Republican candidates.

That second part is the reason (IMO) that the media has shafted him so badly. The Rethugs are afraid of John, and the media is -- as usual -- in the bag for the Rethugs.

This country needs John Edwards, and I'm gonna stick with him. If things get so bad that he decides it's time to leave, I'll switch to Obama. But not before then. And I'm still betting that John will move up and start winning.
