So now the obamamites are in full warrior mode to attack Edwards

[Horse with no Name]

I see it starting.
Oh the rumors that he is endorsing Hillary tonight On Leno?
Come from two RW friendly sources--politico and Chris Matthews?
You guys are sickening.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

1. No. If Edwards supports Clinton, that's his right.

It doesn't change my mind, though. I was an Edwards supporter before I supported Obama, but I disagree with him on this. However, I wish he'd give a news conference or something, rather than announce it on Leno. Leno just bugs me.

[brentspeak]

7. Somehow, I doubt Edwards would use a Leno appearance to make an endorsement

Personally, I wish he'd announce that he's back in the race as a second ballot candidate.

[JoFerret]

23. Leno voted for Bush

.

[Life Long Dem]

55. How many times will we see this Hillary rumor?

This has been posted again and again. Like so many other post from Hillary supporters. What do you guys use, forms or scripts or something? Jeez...

[JoFerret]

63. I've actually never seen it

But it is a fact nonetheless.

[geek tragedy]

2. I won't attack hiim.

I'll just say "I told you so."

[LSparkle]

3. I won't attack him ... I will be disappointed, that's all.

I still love him and Elizabeth and only wish that THEY could be
our next First Couple.

[cooolandrew]

4. Yeah I'venot said anything on it and whatever he decides he is entiteled. even if against Obama.

[cooolandrew]

5. Yeah I'venot said anything on it and whatever he decides he is entiteled. even if against Obama.

[Bonobo]

6. You call people "mites" and expect respect and discussion? This is flamebait.

[Horse with no Name]

9. You are flamebait. n/t

[Forkboy]

40. Oh, that's clever.

:crazy:

[Vinca]

8. I really don't care who he supports. His endorsement might have

made a difference back on Super Tuesday, but it's kind of meaningless now.

[LakeSamish706]

10. I as a former Edwards supporter would not take litely to Edwards endorsing...

Clinton over Obama since all of Edwards campaign seemed to be against everything that Hillary stood for and more like Obama's.

Would you like to see Edwards endorse Clinton?

[Horse with no Name]

18. For about the bazillionth time

No--I do NOT want him to ENDORSE anyone.
This party needs some adults to put it back together once the candidate is chosen.
I think Edwards could fill that role nicely.
Kennedy, Kerry, etc have shown their partisanship. They are no longer neutral and cannot serve in that purpose.
Gore-Dean-Edwards...those are the adults.

[cali]

22. as shallow and stupid as everything you write

no surprise at all, dearie.

[Mags]

51. cali, do you ever respond to the post? all I see you do is attack and name call.

[cali]

53. Perhaps you shouldn't be so selective about what you read of mine

and the OP's little post was an attack. duh. I respond in kind. Same with you. And you really, really aren't one to talk.

[ClericJohnPreston]

64. Kumquat

Right, cupcake?

[shayes51]

11. Onward Christian soldiers..........

:sarcasm:

[book_worm]

12. what are you talking about? "you guys are sicking" based on "I see it happening"

I'm a former Edwards supporter now supporting Obama and it doesn't bother me. He can choose who he wants just as I did.

[CoffeeCat]

13. I'm an Obama supporter...

...and I will not attack Edwards if he endorses Hillary.

I will be extremely disappointed, because I love John Edwards and
my dream ticket was Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama.

I could not decide between the two of them. I saw Edwards
speak in Iowa and I had the privilege of meeting Elizabeth.

I always thought that the two would pair up and change the
world.

I'll be very upset if he doesn't endorse Obama. Many of us
will.

Especially right now, when Obama is getting beat up over
the Wright situation. It would seem like a kick in the
teeth coming at this time.

I imagine there will be a lot of pain on the Obama side
if John does not endorse Obama, and sometimes that is
expressed as anger.

I guess we'll know in a couple of hours.

[WDIM]

14. I don't know why he would

He seems like a pretty populist guy but he would endorse a candidate that would have to go against the will of the people for the nomination? I really don't think its happening.

[cali]

15. Right back at you

you've long made me :puke: and :puke: and :puke:

And as you know I've never had any use whatsoever for JE. Didn't like him in 2004 and don't like him now. Don't trust his conversion from the ultimate DLCer to progressive. That said, he has the right to endorse whoever he wishes: I won't dislike him any the more.

Oh, and did I tell you that you make me :puke:?

[Divine Discontent]

36. thankfully many have the glass shield up on you so the puke doesn't go very far

you're the guy that said John was a snake oil salesman, so many of us have no use for you, whomever you are.

and in response to the OP,

I hope John finally backs Obama and shuts many people up on this board. I won't be voting if Hillary is the nominee, I cannot trust her after the disgusting attacks against Obama that her husband and she have waged - the most egregious being the repeated statements that "McCain has great experience he will bring to the White House... and Barack Obama has a speech he made in 2002". Her face even looked repulsive when she said it each time.

[cali]

48. actually I never called him a a snake oil salesman

and if you think I even know who the fuck you are, you're wrong. never noticed you before.

Oh, and people who can't even speak for themselves and need to bolster their comments with what others supposedly think: weak.

[juajen]

52. Can you provide a link for that? I do not remember her saying this in that

particular way. Not the part about Obama, but the phrase about McCain. Thanks.

[mattclearing]

16. He's entitled to his opinion, however misguided.n/t

[EFerrari]

17. And I didn't get the memo!

:wtf:

I can't wait till this is over and I hope we can go back to something like normal again. :(

[Horse with no Name]

21. He is on Leno tonight

there is another thread floating around about how disappointed they are, they will not respect him, they will be angry...etc

This entire thing is based on a RUMOR from TWO RIGHT WING sources.

[rucky]

19. Timing.

is everything.

[backscatter712]

20. This Obamaite is sitting down to wait and see.

I've been burned too much by the rumor mill to know whether or not Edwards is endorsing someone tonight or who he would endorse.

Of course, he's free to endorse whoever he wants.

Certainly, I'll be disappointed if he doesn't endorse my guy, but attack him for it? No.

[redqueen]

24. Uh...

okay.

:wtf:

[Coexist]

25. give me a break - we were discussing the possibility

and I had supported Edwards, and I was not attacking Edwards.
Talk about hyperbole.

[Donnachaidh]

26. Perhaps he's going on Leno to talk about the REAL ISSUES of the American People?

Like he did when he was in the Race? Both Obama and Clinton had to keep up with the one candidate that was dead on point about what is being done to the middle class by Washington and the Corporate Class.

I certainly hope he pokes BOTH candidates with a big freaking PUBLIC stick. Because BOTH sides are making complete ASSES out of themselves. And BOTH candidates will be blamed if McCain wins because of the mighty EGO candidates. BOTH OBAMA and CLINTON, and all their crazed supporters will be to blame if McCain wins.

Now y'all can go back to flinging shit at each other, and claiming to be the MATURE side. :sarcasm:

[Horse with no Name]

28. That is my take on it.

His work is STILL relevant and still needs to be talked about.
Everything is NOT about this ridiculous election.

[ericgtr]

27. I would like to make a point about the name calling

as an Obama supporter I have never called Senator Clinton anything other than "Clinton" or "Hillary" no matter how much I have disagreed with someone. As soon as I see a post with either Hillbot, Obamite, etc. I usually cast them aside. Posts that actually show a little respect, regardless of their content, to the respective candidates are so much more credible.

Please consider this and I will be happy to debate your points.

[polichick]

29. Once again you project your own vitriol onto others.

[Horse with no Name]

32. Nope actually

it was your vitriol in the other post that prompted this.

[polichick]

44. I had no vitriol - you projected there too...

That's why I said "once again" ~ people have the right to not care what Edwards has to say without you claiming they're calling him an asshole.

As I said, get a grip.

[JuniperLea]

30. Actually, I've seen this posturing coming from both sides...

There's very little an Obamaniac can say about a Hillbot that cannot be said about their own group! And vice versa.

I can't see Edwards endorsing either, actually. He was the only stand-apart candidate, other than Kucinich. He has very little in common with either current candidate... and the current candidates have far more in common with each other than they do with anyone else.

[MrSlayer]

31. I was with Edwards and am now with Obama.

If John endorses Hillary I won't rip him for it any more than I rip General Clark for doing the same. I can disagree with people I admire. We're all on the same side at the end of the day.

[Middle finga]

33. I always suspected he was chameleon

[Raine]

34. I'm not a "mite" but even if I was

WHY would I attack Edwards over a rumor...WTF!?! You're the one who is "sickening" with your insulting name calling. x(

[Catch22Dem]

35. Not a chance, ass

Edwards was my 1st choice, but now I'm for Obama. If JE chooses to endorse HRC, I'll respect his choice.

45. the OP is an edwards supporter...even has an edwards avatar...

save it for the non-edwards supporters. :P

[snappyturtle]

38. Where do you see this starting? So now???????? What is this but

flamebait. :think:

[Horse with no Name]

43. No. It isn't

[snappyturtle]

58. It WAS flamebait. If your intention was otherwise you would have

put the link in your OP. Now that you have linked the post it is discussion.

[PetraPooh]

60. What a mischaracterization of the thread. I few say they would lose respect for him;

nothing like an attacks or warriors. You are a disgrace and thank goodness, most posters on this thread have you well pegged as the chicken little you are.

[mudesi]

39. Pot kettle black!!!!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:v

You people are too much.

[1776Forever]

42. I am not going to "attack" Edwards - but I would question him on what he said about Clinton.....

Why is he going to endorse Clinton (if he does) after saying things like this?

Edwards Raps Clinton Over Blackwater Tie
Oct 5 05:13 PM US/Eastern
By MIKE GLOVER

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8S3AIKO0&show_article=1&cat=0%3Cbr%20/%3E

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Democrat John Edwards said Friday the top strategist for presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton has ties to the controversial Blackwater security firm, and warned against installing "a group of corporate Democrats" to replace the Bush White House.

Edwards suggested similarities between Clinton, the Democratic front- runner, and the Republican president.

"George Bush has been a perfect example of cronyism because Blackwater has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republicans and to President Bush," he said in an interview with The Associated Press.

"I also saw this morning that Senator Clinton's primary adviser, Mark Penn, who is like her Karl Rove, his firm is representing Blackwater."

"It is the reason I continue to say we don't want to replace a group of corporate Republicans with a group of corporate Democrats," he said.

[Danger Mouse]

46. i would be very disappointed with edwards if he did...

but i wouldn't throw him under the bus or anything.
i'd just be disappointed.
anyway, we'll just have to wait and see, no?

[Capn Sunshine]

47. where pray tell are these wicked warriors?

John Edwards, future AG, possible VP candidate. Maybe Sec of St. For either candidate. What does an endorsement do at this point for either one?

It's over, people, Hillary's campaign is a zombie ( dead but doesn't know it.)

Would I be disappointed? Only if he was serious about that progressive stuff.
Because there's NO WAYa progressive would or could endorse this:


no.way.in.hell.

[catgirl]

49. Where do you see anything starting???

"you guys are sickening"? Huh? Is this a flame thread?

[azmouse]

50. So there isn't enough trouble around here.

You feel the need to create more... I am an Obama supporter and I am not attacking Edwards and I never would.

Edwards was my first choice. He can support whoever he wants to. It won't change my mind about the candidate I support now nor would it keep me from supporting Edwards should he decide to run again sometime in the future. I think he would make a great President.

[LaurenG]

54. Stop with the broad brush.

You are becoming that which you hate and you don't even see it.

[PetraPooh]

56. Strawman! What are you talking about? I've seen no such things till your OP.

[walldude]

57. I'm sickening?

Funny, I don't see any Obama supporters posting rants from Michelle Malkin, Newsmax and The American Conservative to disparage Hillary.

But don't let that get in the way of putting us all in a box with whatever label you guys are taking from Michelle Malkin today. I've been "sickening" republicans all my life.

[NanBo]

59. Make believe

I don't see any such thing starting except from you. If Edwards endorses Hillary, so be it. I'll be disappointed but so what. Do I think he'd do it on a comedy show? I would hope not--wouldn't lend much to the gravity or sincerity of his opinion, and he's not that stupid.

[yasmina27]

61. I wish I could find a link

but I'm sure that on MSNBC last night-late afternoon between 5-7 PM, which is when we watch it on the kitchen tv, that one of the commentators - can't remember which one - said that JE stated something to the effect of, that the D nominee should be the person who can promise/deliver the greatest difference from the current administration.

Those were not the exact words, but DAMN! I just can't remember what was said. But what ever it was, it lead me to believe that JE would come out to endorse Obama.

Will keep trying to find out what was said.....

[Drunken Irishman]

62. Horse, your clumping of ALL Obama supporters together is just as pathetic as your fake outrage.

I don't care who Edwards supports. I don't think it will tilt the election in favor of Clinton and I don't think it would lock it up for Obama. It's too late in the season for it to be a game changer. It doesn't mean I want to piss on Edwards or attack him. If he supports Clinton, congratulations are in order for her and her supporters. The same if he does Obama and if he stays out of this race, so be it. But don't paint all of us with the same brush. In fact, I'd wager a majority of Obama supporters still respect and will still respect Edwards, regardless of who he endorses.

[JVS]

65. I hadn't noticed. But then again, like most people, I'm not all that interested in Edwards' actions

[ClericJohnPreston]

66. It will be nice to watch a true gentleman

and REAL DEMOCRAT for a change.

I'm so sickened by the choice between Repub-lite "A" and "B". There is truly no difference between the two, like McDonalds vs. Burger King. Edwards is a true Democrat with core LEFT-WING policies. Remember those?
