Debasing fellow Democrats?

Do you really believe that wanting to have a discussion on a political board about a political interview I saw on television this Sunday morning.....in where an answer bothered me, is debasing?

Fellow Democrats are competing in an election? Yes or No?

Can questions be asked based on what they say? Yes or No?

Can they be asked about a myriad of policy issues, or just issues you say are OK?

Foreign policy happens to be my main interest, as the Iraq War as drained our coffers, I believe the War to be in direct relations cause and effect to the Poverty issue.

I'm not quite sure why you are attempting to tell me what subject is "worth" talking about?

No, I think posting about an interview where John Edwards talks of his plan for Iraq, but doesn't really want to share with us what the plan will accomplish was what I wanted to post about. If he didn't want to take the political gamble of proposing solutions and putting himself out there a little bit and demonstrating the confidence of understanding what the outcomes "might" be.....I don't think I'm the one doing the debasing. I think it is debasing to be asked such a serious question and not really having a good reasoned answer.......even if one qualifies the answer by stating....."well, Bob, I "hope" that my recommendations would allow the ........" , or, "I believe that it could do this, although there is no guarantees".

"I don't know" didn't do the "trick" for me. Sorry if that's debasing John Edwards, a very good Democrat running for the Presidency of the United States of America while we are stuck in two wars, and another being encouraged in part......
