It's the HYPOCRICY in Today's Society that has Many Dissing Edward's House!

[KoKo]

It's not a Mean, or Unkind Intent. It's just that some have REAL PROBLEMS WITH IT!

[lostnotforgotten]

3. What Would DU Be Without The Spelling Police!

eom

[KoKo]

6. Poster was Correct..I spelled it wrongly and I just corrected...

I always make that mistake...going to Hippocratic Oath..I probably spelled that wrong also...but it's the point of it ..I was trying to make. As you understood. :-)

11. ...

:hi:

[KoKo]

13. I FIXED IT...I FIXED IT!

THANKS!

[HughMoran]

15. Title still reads incorrect

Not that I care - just pointing it out.

[KoKo]

16. Hypocrisy ..........? n/t

[Little Wing]

18. Yes

:hi:

[KoKo]

19. DAMMIT! When I corrected I left a c instead of an s...and NO One

is reading my post...thinking I'm an Illiterate Freeper who spells Moron as Moran. :blush:

Remind me never to post on the "fly." A Typo can haunt one forever...making one feel a "dunce." :-(

2. FDR's hypocrisy saved millions of lives.

But I suppose he should have shut up because he had a big house. Yes. Of course.

:crazy:

[lostnotforgotten]

5. Expected And Accepted Standards Have Changed Since The 30s and 40s

Red Herring argument.

[jpgray]

7. Let's say Edwards' work could lift millions out of poverty. Your argument is he shouldn't?

Because he has a big house?

[lostnotforgotten]

9. Unless He Is Willing To Radically Change The System - I Don't See How Anything

He says will make a dent in the true problems.

Candidate rhetoric just does not cut it for me anymore.

Actions speak louder than words and his actions building that house speak volumes.

[mondo joe]

17. How would not building this house radically change the system?

[mondo joe]

4. When did Edwards claim it's bad to make good and buy big?

When?

[William769]

8. I don't care what size his house is.

If he's got the money, and wants it then so be it!

I want to know his politics. And any fucking moran around here should be the same way!

[orpupilofnature57]

10. Thank god for men and woman that could stay drunk on yachts..

....but choose to spend their lives worrying and defending people in little houses.

[troubleinwinter]

12. Yay. ANOTHER fucking house thread.

[KoKo]

14. Not really...think about it...that some of us worry about our Dems

not having a sense of "HYPOCRICY!" about what they do. In other words...it WAS OFFENSIVE to many of us that Edwards built this new Place in Anticipation of his New Role where he might "just in case" need a secure Compound.

It reminded many of us of when George II bought his "Pig Farm/Ranch" in anticipation of his P-Residency.

Lots of DU'ers who have been here since the "2000 Selection" are VERY SENSITIVE to Candidates "Counting their Eggs before They are Hatched." And Edwards "Spread" struck many on a "wrong note."

That's more the point than Harpies Jumping on Edwards for what seemed to some as "no reason."

That's all I'm saying....
