What did Edwards do for Ohio voters (election fraud) post-2004? |
|
Did he use any of his wealth to help fund investigations into election fraud? Did he stand up for those disenfranchised in Cuyahoga County?
He was the VP candidate of our Democratic ticket, yet I don't recall him up for those asking for hand recounts/audits. Kerry promised the world in 2004 as far as "every vote will be counted", yet didn't deliver as we all know. Why shouldn't we hold Edwards to the same standard?
If the Edwards camp wants my vote, they will have to explain this.

He simply had to find his voice, and say he doesn't agree with Kerry. He should have known what everyone here knew about Ohio, and distance himself from Kerry. It shouldn't have been to hard to ask for recounts, and audits before evidence was destroyed.

6. If everyone here knew it, then so did Obama and Hillary. |
|
Why aren't you asking what they did about it as well?

2. Do the Obama internals show Edwards strength in SC? |
|
Is that why we're getting this push?

10. This thread isn't about Obama |
|
and I haven't thrown my support behind any of the 3 so called leaders in this race. Edwards had the money to fund investigations, and was representing everyone who voted for him then. I'm reluctant to give my vote in the primary to someone who does not stand for election integrity, that's all.

11. I don't no what he could have done? |
|
Kerry - did not want to "Make Waves" because - he was going to run again (IE; 2008) so he was the thinking ahead (like that worked out)
Edwards wanted to - and said so - but when in the VP Slot - you cant call foul/etc..your for the one on the Ticket, and have to Back Him up!!!....

12. Yes, I remember hearing that also - |
|
John Edwards let it be known that he didn't agree with Kerry's decision, and Kerry didn't like it. I think the rift began there. I wasn't surprised Kerry backed Obama over Edwards... disappointed - yes, but not surprised.
