Thinking about taking my hands out of my pockets-
I'm thinking real hard about going negative people. I've had it up to here with the haircut BS, the house BS, the unsubstantiated voting record BS, the snake-oil BS, and now we're dealing with a a fucking Enquirer love child story here. I can't take it anymore people.

I have not been an angle here, and I know I’ve ruffled a few feathers in the past. A few people have taken exception to a few pictures I have posted in the past so I have stopped. A few people have had something to say about me ‘hating’, so I’ve tried to stay away from that word. Feel free to do a search on me, and you will see the truth in what I’m saying. I've tried to be nice. I've tried to post only positive topics. I am tired of playing nice with these scum bags. I mean, all ya gotta do is google 'Clinton rumors' or 'Obama rumors' and all of a sudden you have more ammo than you can imagine. I've been keeping files on the other top two candidates and I would love to start posting this stuff. Also, I have plenty of pictures that have never been posted. Taking the high road is starting to wear thin. So should I do it? Should I start trading tit for tat? Should I be willing to get down in the gutter with these scumbags?

Now I know we are Edwards supporters. And I know we don't hate. I know we are supposed to be above this stuff. But where I grew up, the guy that turned the other cheek end up with two black eyes.

So I'm going to let you guys decide. Do I hit these scumbags where they live? Or do I stay on the high road?

I said they were bought by celebrity. And I stand by that. I made it clear that none of them received money in brown paper bags.

You know what? I stand by that.

4. Why do you try to lie? You said: "Just look at all the people money can buy!"

5. Well , sounds like you will be accused of taking the low road anyway, so have at them!
The one thing, of course, is to speak the truth. Whatever that may be. And let the chips fall where they may. But vetting the truth is not simple or quick.

6. Don't. Edwards has enough good positive stuff to promote without going negative. Plus do you really
think Obama's negative stuff about Hillary and Hillary's negative stuff about Obama are of an insufficient volume that they need to be augmented?

8. All you guys who like to fight during the primaries
please remember:

You're going to want to come back here after the primaries. So let's all take that into account and keep to the high road.

10. Edwards is very popular on DU, partialy because of the relative calm of Edwards supporters
If your objective is to maximize Edwards' popularity here, then don't rock the boat.
