This is my candidate

[Nutmegger]

I'm not going away John Edwards. I'll fight for you no matter what happens. You are the person I believe in, and I'm proud to support your candidacy.

Thank you for running,

Nutmegger

1. Beautiful, nutmegger. I am sooo disappointed right now, and so very worried

for this country....

[pauldg0]

45. I know John Edwards will deliver for us, but the Pirates have taken over our ship...

Could we reclaim our party somehow by creating a true and new Democratic Party........call it the
"New Democratic Party" or the
"Real Democratic Party" or
"First Democratic Party"

Right now it's the "Republican Democratic Party"

They; the two other brainwashed or planted candidates, have infiltrated and are destroying the core values of what I always thought was the Democratic party.

Sorry, but I have been on this earth for 60-years and that is how I am now seeing it. I used to be a Republican! If it's going to be like this, then I guess we former Republicans or Independents should all go back and compare Hillary or Obama (with Republican values) against the other Republican candidates that are currently running.

I JUST WON'T DO THAT....I WAS ALL SET TO VOTE FOR JOHN EDWARDS.....I'M A UNEMPLOYED ENGINEER AND WANT MY JOB BACK !!!

THERE ARE MILLIONS OF JOBS LIKE MINE THAT ARE LEAVING THIS COUNTRY !!

[pauldg0]

53. I love this moment...........I am supporting you all the way...

...sorry I got off track ..John keep walking the talk...your going to get there!!!

You and your family can always emigrate to other places. As European was doing when the life here war tuff, and many was staring for a more free life then they had back home. You would always find a home, and work here I guess.. Or if you don't like European attitude, you have always Australia... Many places you can visit, and settle down if you want you know...

And ENGINEER would always find work other places, they hare needed...

65. i think he probably LIKES it here...

...not sure if telling him "love it or leave it" is the particularly hopeful-in-America perspective...

we are fighting so that those jobs stay in the USA so that we don't wind up a nation of (i was going to say customer service reps but they're all out of india these days... yikes!)

True, the US have a very open mind when it come to thing, and I do believe we in europe is somewhat more "closed" when it come to this thing.. But hey, we have a lot of different history, so I guess the whole european model is somewhat different then in the US?

It is silly to let all this job go to India or somewhat else.. Even that the indians can do longer hour, for less money even there, the salary are on the rise.. And this type of companies cant ever find other places where the salary is less and less so they can earn more.. I tryed HP customer service here I live once.. Get totally lost in "dial this, dial that" jungle.. My old PC broke totally down and I have to call for some help.. NADA.. And this is in Norway.. Where they still use Norwegian to help the customer..

But, even then. I believe that american (US) would be more than welcome here in Europe, anywhere you want to settle down. Europe need qualified men and woman.. And I guess american do share some common values that we understand each other on?

I hope you get a work or have a work where you can get a decent income, for you, your wife and your childeren... I really do

I understand: You have a amazing, great country who deserve that much more than this ********** extremist have manage do to your country... The Neo-cons and this Administration SHOULD have been tried before the court for High Crimes.. If they go free, everything america once was are truly dead... anything US was is dead.. They rape and pillage everything you have, and go away to other places when they are finnish.. Don't let them do that. Do something.... I don't know what, but DO something PLEASE

And that would be a sorry day, both for US, and for the rest of the world... And for my personally.. Very sad indeed

2. I'm not going away, John Edwards. Thank you for running.

3. Gorgeous candidate, gorgeous man , gorgeous family.

I will not support any other candidate.John is the only candidate worth voting for.

[ChiciB1]

49. WE ARE ONE.... TOGETHER... NEVER FORGET!!!

You Are What You Say You Are!! Just heard those words and it JUST FITS!

:grouphug:

[jules1962]

81. Greatest candidate

We are Edwards people and we will not go away.
We will follow the words of our candidate:

"It is time for our party, the Democratic party, to show a little backbone, to have a little guts, to stand up for working men and women. If we are not their voice, then we'll never have a voice."

Patience and persistance are virtues.
Keep fighting the good fight.

4. He's my candidate too!

And I'm not going away either.

[Beausoir]

5. He would be a great President. I just do not understand it all.

[alittlelark]

6. Because I believe in your VISION....

You are my last, best hope.

[Egnever]

7. Nice pics!

[ClericJohnPreston]

8. Nice job, Nutmegger

You know we Edwards people don't have quit in us!

[Pierogi_Pincher]

9. I'm here.

:hi:
P_P

[NastyRiffraff]

10. He's mine, too

I'm proud to support him. Those are great pictures!

[BringBigDogBack]

11. K&R

I like me some JRE!

[CreekDog]

12. I think he's terrific and my sleeper favorite

We'll see what happens. I think I would be most pleased if he won, out of all 3.

[Triana]

13. Mine too...I won't support anyone else even if he drops out (and I don't think he will)

Hillary and Obama don't NEED my money - they've already been bought by corprats. I'm not giving them a dime or an ounce of my time. OR my vote unless it'll make a diff (doubtful in my state).

[OzarkDem]

14. Mine, too and he will win

I'm seriously considering taking a leave of absence from my job to go help him campaign.

Seriously. I don't think I can stand to watch more breast cancer patients die and become impoverished under Obama, Clinton or the GOP.

[lisainmilo]

61. I hope you can!

that would be great! :)

[Tom Rinaldo]

15. Lovely photos. Nice job putting them together. K&R for your very positive thread

[balantz]

16. Nice pics.!

My candidate, John Edwards, is the only true progressive running who stands a chance to win the nomination. I will support him 'til the end. Why bother even considering who might be a second choice when the others are owned by the machine. My candidate, John Edwards, is the ONLY cnadidate who will fight for the people of America.

I will stand by John Edwards as long as he fights for us.

[RestoreGore]

17. I'm here too... when I thought I wouldn't be...

When I had actually sworn off getting involved in this again because of my disillusionment with this process and the hurt I felt for the past regarding my support of Al Gore and what was done to him... However, reading about Mr. Edward's stances, and hearing his words about ending poverty and addressing climate change brought me back...because he truly does seem to care and that matters to me. And I am here to stay with Mr. Edwards for the long haul because he is running the kind of campaign that I believe truly does speak of change. Great pictures, beautiful family. Thanks for posting this. And yes, thanks Mr. Edwards for speaking for the forgotten Americans.

[saltpoint]

18. Hey I like that candidate, too. Let's be pals.

When he's talking issues, he looks like he plans on getting it done. When he's smiling with Elizabeth and the younguns, he looks like he loves them a lot.

[mathewsleep]

19. don't go away

i support obama.

but we all have to choose based on who we think is best. not who we think will win, doing that will on give us a shitty candidate. so stand up for your man. because you think he's the most admirable, or the best leader, or the most honorable. don't throw your support behind someone else. support only the person you like. to the end, and even further.

[stickernation]

66. cool mathew !!!

right back at you !!!

[Yael]

20. I am in it to Denver!

Proud to stand behind you, Senator!

[DaLittle Kitty]

21. He's My Candidate Too................. We Will Run the Long Run and In the end We Will Prevail!

Great pictures of a fine and caring man............ :)

[ncliberal]

22. Great pics!

He's my candidate, too! He's the ONLY one I will vote for and the only one that gives me hope.

[Wednesdays]

23. K&R

[stravu9]

24. Accept no substitutes!

I won't!

[chimpymustgo]

25. LOL!! Thanks to nutmegger!! I love Edwards supporters. You guys are all THE BEST!

We're soldiering on!

[Andy823]

26. I am with you

Edwards till the end!

[midnight]

27. Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!!

I'm going to put these into my favorites until I can figure our how to put them on my screen saver.

[NanceGreggs]

28. Fabulous photos ...

... fabulous man!!!

[ChiciB1]

46. WOW!!!! n/t

[NanceGreggs]

51. Huh?

I'm not quite sure what that reaction means ...

[pauldg0]

52. I think so too................

He's the best.

[sufrommich]

29. I'll say this for Edwards,he's a handsome guy!

And I do wish he was doing better,he's my second choice.

[ChiciB1]

30. Thanks For The WONDERFUL Pics... Makes Me Want To Cry & Also

makes me "mad as hell" because too many POWERFUL people are working against him. I hear it ALL THE TIME, how much people really like him and want him to be POTUS!! And YET... what do we get!

Never in my life have I NOT vote in a GE for our candidate, if it's not going to be JE... I don't vote!! Sorry, say what you will... I HAVE to make my stand. Can't get much worse with the other two... they're getting the PUSH from D.C. so how can one figure otherwise??

John Edwards is ONE Fantastic wonderful human being!!

[AmBlue]

31. Not. Going. Anywhere.

All the way, with JOHN EDWARDS. Not negotiable.

[bonito]

32. K&R

:thumbsup:

[Tennessee Gal]

33. Very inspiring pictures!

Go John, Go!

:bounce:

[the other one]

34. Mine too. I am filled with hope. Thanks for the post. nt

[Plucketeer]

35. Hey!

That's MY candidate too! Love that guy!

[Liberty Belle]

36. Here's another reason to stay with him: Edwards could be kingmaker at Convention

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0108/7979.html

Even if the others lead going into the convention, if Edwards has a lot of delegates he will still have clout to negotiate for policy concessions, cabinet appointments, or even a vice presidential slot before throwing his support to either of the other two candidates.

[OhioChick]

37. Mine, Too.

Great Pics! :)

[tnlefty]

38. Great thread Nutmegger!

I voted early and for John.

[Freedomofspeech]

39. Love him!

[Irishonly]

40. I am not going away either

I voted for him by absentee ballot.

[sellitman]

41. A fellow "Nutmegger" applauds you.

Many states left.

I am hopeful.

[Dystopian]

42. k&r

Sadly had to give up on Dennis....
I feel that John is our only hope....
And I have little hope left...
So this is a very inspiring post...
Thank you....


peace~

[JDPriestly]

43. Mine too. Best since Kennedy.

Most inspiring since Kennedy. Most likely to be elected since Kennedy.

[helderheid]

44. He's mine as well. Hang in there, John!

:patriot:

[jenmarie]

47. If anyone has been slapped

upside the head harder and more often than Edwards and his supporters with the fact that a Corporate owned and controlled media is killing our country, it would have to be Clarkies who saw the blackout of Wes in the 2004 primaries.

I hope these slaps and kicks energize ALL OF YOU to join the fight to STOP BIG MEDIA!

Google "Stop Big Media" and get involved, if you're not already. Support The Real News, and other independent news sources so they can continue to grow and gain influence. FreePress.net is another great one to support.

The United States has fallen to #48 in ranking of press freedom conducted by Reporters Without Borders. Number 48!! behind these countries:

Iceland
Norway
Estonia
Slovakia
Belgium
Finland
Sweden
Denmark
Ireland
Portugal
Switzerland
Latvia
Netherlands
Czech Republic
New Zealand
Austria
Canada
trinidad and Tobago
Germany
Costa Rica
Slovenia
Lithuania
United Kingdom
Mauritius
Namibia
Jamaica
Australia
Ghana
Greece
France
Taiwan
Spain
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Italy
Macedonia
Japan
Uruguay
Chile
South Korea
Coratia
Romania
South Africa
Israel
Cape Verde
Cyprus
Nicaragua

I am not an Edwards supporter, but it kills me to see what they're doing to your candidate and to our country. Enough is enough!!

[zalinda]

48. And, because I think he is so important

I am printing out his booklet "The Plan to Build One America". They will have beautiful card stock covers, and look really nice. They also will be left unintentionally, of course, in my doctor's waiting room on Tuesday.

50. What wonderful photos! Thank you Nutmegger....

:cry: it's the country's loss. But I'm still praying for a miracle.

[LittleBlue]

54. Jesus, are we this shallow?

These are photo ops people; he doesn't even know most of those people in the photos. And they call Obama's camp a cult of personality. Good guy but he's just not a good politician, which is probably a compliment to him.

[stickernation]

69. hahaha funny !!!

:rofl: i am totally laughing at ourselves, but it is a good laugh, not an angry one.

i am proud of these people for their innate recognition of the goodness of John through the above photos. it's also very funny, and human. john is one of those candidates who is simply honest and familiar and cool. He's like a successful older brother whose wife has terminal cancer. it evokes a family feeling even in me, battle-scarred activist that i am.

welcome to the organic-feel part of John's electability argument. it is no lie, though, it's the real deal. obama people feel the same way about their candidate and I don't begrudge them that; hillary supporters certainly feel the same way. If they don't, they should switch, right? Yes, they should - if their candidate starts mouthing right-wing-isms, they should really and truly think twice, and if they start to appear more and more artificial and talking-pointsy, they should think about that too. Edwards has never presented this risk to this supporter.

i just never felt that i would have a Democratic candidate that represented both my progressive point of view and my determination to win the popular vote at the same time. it really is moving and inspiring to consider the sacrifice the Edwards family is committed to in order to get much of my point of view out there in people's minds, as well as to keep the Democrats from swinging too far to the right.

[OneGrassRoot]

55. Lame54 had a thread looking for good photos....

hopefully he'll see these or you can direct him here?

Internet is being really slowwwwwwwww or I'd try to find link to thread. Sorry.

[unapatriciated]

71. I will let lame know when he gets home

I think he has some of those pics but not sure. He will be home form work soon and is off tomorrow and plans on working on his Edwards project all day. We are still very inspired from Edwards rally yesterday and want to working very hard to make him our next president.

[OneGrassRoot]

84. Wonderful! Thank you, and thanks to Lame54 once again for his work! n/t

[judaspriestess]

56. I approve this thread

:)

My support is not waivering one bit.

[lisainmilo]

58. Awesome Nutmegger...Made me cry....

:thumbsup: :hi: :hug:

[jaybeat]

59. Damn straight! John Edwards to the convention!

Say NO to "compromising" with corporate America!

Say YES to a government of, by and FOR the PEOPLE! (Remember that?)

Say NO to elections bought and paid for by and for the wealthy!

Say YES to a candidate who will represent US!

Say NO to vague promises of "change" supported only by the gender or race of the candidate and not their policies or record!

Say YES to the candidate who has fought for us, will fight for us, and who has no illusions about how much fight it will take to save us from being ravaged further by the rich and powerful!

Say YES to John Edwards for President!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

82. Fabulous pictures, Nutmegger!!

Fabulous candidate too! It's sure as hell NOT over yet.

I LOVE that first picture with the great Harry S Truman on the wall in his office!!!

Another salt-of-the-earth Democrat. My folks told me what a down to earth guy Truman was.


Somebody has to fight for the working and middle class and formerly middle class Americans.

John is formidable. He's been formidable in the courtroom all his adult life. He said about the insurance companies and the big corporations, "You can't make nice with these people".
He's right. He knows what kind of soulless evil bastards run those big corporations that he sued, and sued successfully for the injured and the families of the dead.


I have no doubt that he'll keep on fighting for the rest of us.

[Piedras]

83. John Edwards has my vote

John Edwards is my candidate. I filled out my absentee ballot for him today.

[Muddy Waters Guitar]

85. Great pics, you totally rock!

Let's keep this fight going!
