If you were an Edwards supporter who's now supporting Hillary
and you're making the statement that Obama is dangerously inexperienced, you're full of it. And I've seen quite a bit of this nonsense.


Let's be quite clear, Obama has more experience than JE did. Edwards had no experiences in government or politics beyond his 6 years in the Senate. Hell, he admits to not voting in his adulthood. Obama has been involved in politics and government,including voting rights, for 20 years. He's been in elected office for 11. Edwards started running when he had only 3 years experience in government, less than what Obama has.


So if you're making the argument about Obama that he's too inexperienced, you're being completely hypocritical.

the FACT that you've posted twice in my thread gives lie to your sanctimonious little avowal of indifference. Too funny. I just love it.


:rofl:

7. first of all that's flat out untrue
as the only time I went into positive Edwards threads was to post something positive. Secondly, just as YOU are under no obligation to support Obama, I wasn't under one to like or support JE, and frankly the point of the OP was to point out a glaring inconsistency that I've seen repeatedly. Oh, and I'm not Obama. I'm under no obligation to say anything but what I believe. Duh. Oh, and lastly you spew hate consistently, so YOU are hardly one to lecture, dear.

11. Some of us now support Obama, Cali.
It is odd that even though I support Obama, the only people on my ignore list right now are Obama supporters who continually insult Edwards and his supporters. Some can be downright nasty.

10. I guess DU supporters are all representatives of their campaigns?

People spit all kinds of jibe on this site and it doesn't have anything to do with any of the actual candidates. We speak for ourselves, not our candidates.
