PGHPAVOTER....what is amazing is that mc-more-war is only getting 60 - 70% of the vote and noone is running against him.

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. During this election season, this same road has led directly to Barack Hussein Obama, and it has been throughly lacking of any ‘positive’ intentions. Once again, we have found another Democratic leader falling back in line with the ultimate symbol of defeat and humiliation (Obama), only for the ulterior purpose of increasing their Party’s future prospects among African Americans and youth voters.

Now, to this long list of shameful converts, you must add John Edwards. A loser in his own right, he has already experienced personal and National political defeats for the past decade, and is now once more demonstrating his ability to gravitate towards loss and shame, extending his dubious record with Obama at his side (and at the helm!).

To an Independent voter, John Edwards always seemed like a fair candidate, considering the mainstream alternatives that were creeping out of both parties at the beginning of this electoral season. He had a successful background as a plaintiff attorney, and seemed to be flirting with a populist message that would have been somewhat attractive, had he been poised in a general election scenario. His policies were similar to Hillary Clintons’, which seemed somewhat reasonable, although not necessarily the best thing in the world for any independent strict ‘constitutionalist’, who highly disprove of giving more responsibility and power to a central government that has shown itself to be highly inefficient and corrupt (with both parties at the helm). Nonetheless, his policies seemed to have been specifically tailored for the same White working class voters that Obama has almost completely lost (and will probably no longer recover no matter Edward’s efforts).

We must not forget that Barack Hussein Obama LITERALLY stole Edwards 2004 Announcement speech (almost) in it’s entirety, without in any way encouraging the wrath of John Edwards or his (then alive) campaign.

We should also remember how in the Nevada Democratic Debate, Edwards pointed out that Obama had passed all other candidates in his acceptance of financial support by drug companies and pharmaceuticals, a factor which Edwards claimed was directly causing harm to fellow Americans and thus an issue close to his heart. In said debate Edwards mockingly asked Obama; “do you think they expect something in return”? I guess we now know at least what EDWARDS wanted in return for his submission; political relevancy. Among the many issue which Edwards also declared to be important, and which stood in direct conflict with Obama, his (Obama’s) dysfunctional plan on withdrawing troops from Iraq, and a Health Care proposal that was NOT in any way universal.

But now, suddenly, we are to understand that all of these issues have evaporated and taken a back seat to ‘following the Party line’ with whomever is labeled a “Democrat” in the November ticket! Do any of these politicians have an understanding of dignity and/or honor? Are they so easily swayed by dogma and economic/political/collective self interest, that they completely willing to abandon their own principles and supporters?

At least, this whole shameful event will push voters to realize that the Founding Fathers were correct when they stated that the ONLY correct way of voting (and acting) within a Democracy was by staying OUTSIDE of political parties, and thus judging the character, integrity, honesty and values of the individual candidate running for office, irrespective of his SUPPOSED political affiliation? We all know that this task is difficult enough!

Do voters forget that candidates have to join a party to be able to run for office? These decisions are usually made out of necessity or simple convenience, thus you get a “Democratic” Lieberman and a “Republican” McCain.

At the end of the day, the core preoccupation about our floundering Democracy lies in the issue of consistency and integrity. John Edwards knows that Obama is the ‘offspring’ of Chicago’s corrupt political machine, but he still supports him. John Edwards understands that Obama has personally funded, via his directorship in the Woodsfund, terrorist sympathizers (Khalidi and others) who claim that SUICIDE BOMBING is a legitimate method of resistance fighting (even if used against school children). John Edwards also knows that Obama is completely unprepared to become Commander in Chief, something to which he had continuously alluded to in multiple interviews, nevertheless, we now have him riding this faux pony all the way to the White House (it’s gate!).

With Barack Obama’s upcoming “surprise” leak, in which he will eventually declare Claire McCaskill as his November running mate (this is a well sourced rumor), this political season has become a spectacle of self interest and rabid pandering. Somehow, Obama’s campaign is expecting that Southern Whites and women are going to flock to the most divisive candidate in modern history, just because they intend to place a White female (ROOKIE) from Missouri as his “second” on a National ticket.

If our citizens have any self respect and/or dignity, and they are not easily swayed by cheap political maneuvering, this election will be the one to demonstrate it, by serving up the biggest Democratic defeat in history.

If this Nation deserves a second chance and a straight route to save it’s collective soul, this will be the enduring election that will wrestle it’s HONOR out from the historic jaws of extinction.

When you think about it, the DNC is made of nothing more than lawyers who don't have a clue about how to earn real money in the real world. They only know how to twist things to take money out of each of our pockets. Hey, that's what a politician does best. They produce no worth, they take money they didn't earn, and at the end, they sucker you into thinking that they've served you. Yes, they served you an excrement sandwich and you thank them for it. That is so pathetic. I had heard on my local CBS radio station today that local US congressmen even charge the taxpayers for gasoline. So, on top of the best healthcare in the world, we pay the $4/gal gas for their SUVs. Yes, SUVs. Then they have the gall to lecture us about our polluting the air.

Pt - Don't worry. The Hillary supporters will more than make up for what John McCain is missing in the primary election when the general election comes around. We will NOT vote for Mr. Ayer's, Mr. Rezco's, Rev. Wright's, and Cousin Odinga's friend. Wonder if they'll cut Michelle back to her orignial salary at the hospital after BO is cast in shame.

Many of these posts confirm the republicans are running scared tonight. Dems unite, it's almost over. Think, Dem president, Dem Senate, Dem Congress. Supreme court that is more balanced and cares about the rights of the people. Defeat neocon ideology.

Vote Dem in 08

I do not care how win the nommination!obama or clinton.democrat have to win,in november.

Who are all you angry people spewing forth such vitriol and hatred?
Historically, we've seen nasty campaigns going back to 1800 so I imagine it's just the way it's going to be. But, do you folks really think such rabid disgust for a candidate you don't like is really in the best interest of this country.

Hey you Hillary Sheep!

I hope you realize she was born and raised in Chicago all the way up through high school. She just claims to be from PA, IN, IL, NY the same was Bush is from *cough* TX

Her campaign is 20,000,000 in DEBT. Don't trust a women with America's credit card :]

To Sluggo,

You are one of the Rush fools aren't you. LOL It is the Democratic party not democrat party. LOL.

Come on, know one takes all this hate and crap seriously, it's all just republicans entertaining themselves. We are not stupid.

Reading some of these comments, I can see why politicians have pander to ignorance to win. A lot of Hillary supporters think John Edwards (and probably Bill Richardson) are "backstabbers" because they didn't endorse for Hillary. Don't you people understand that an endorsement is supposed to be about who one thinks would be the best candidate? Don't you understand that an endorsement would mean nothing at all if it was based on who you were most connected to or who you had to return favors to? Some of you think that Edwards should "repay" Bill Clinton for this or that. Why would I, as someone who respects Edwards, want to know who he needs to repay the most, rather than who he thinks would be the best candidate?

Geesh, Hillary fans, please don't be so angry. Hill has had lots of endorsements. I didn't yell no fair when the Eddy Rendel put his mighty machine to work for her in PA or when Bayh did in IN or when Governor Stricland did in Ohio. I didn't yell unfair, though I was tempted, when she hired Hispanics by the hundreds to get out the vote in the Texas border country while we were using only volunteers. Mrs. Clinton has had lots of surrogates and endorsements. John Edwards never promised either of them anything and Mrs. Clinton doesn't resent him. Why so mean about it? I would be disappointed too, but there are limits aren't there? Do we want to live in a world where there are no limits? Is that the America you've been holding in your heart and dreaming of? I know that that isn't what Senator Clinton has been wanting for you or for any of us.

It is difficult to see how committed Edwards is to the plight of working-class Americans and then endorse Obama. He saw Hillary's landslide in West Virginia, her wins in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other big states. Why? He could have had impact at the Convention, and certainly retain his stature as a leader. Now, his image has lost some luster.

Regardless, this race is not over.

Im see'n John Edwards as an EXCELLENT Attorney General.

John Edwards lies like a rug! I would not trust him anymore than I would Barack Obama or any other Democratic bully boys! J E's funny timing endorcement for Sen Barack Obama amazes me, especially right after Hillary's landslide victory in West Virginia.
GO-Go Sen. Hillary Clinton in '08....

Tom C Torrance, CA

Does Edwards really believes that the american people are so stupid as to buy into his story that there was no deal cut to endorse Obama? He is just an opportunist who ran away from the North Carolina Senate reelection because he knew he would have never been reelected.

Just let that inbred sluggo flap[ his jibs... he is a perfect representative of why the people of this nation SOUNDLY reject the GOP today... buncha low lifers.

ABC, why don't YOU investigate this? Read below:

"
I am one of many who immediately received a request for funds for Edwards' pet project just after the endorsement. But I am not a subscriber to any of his stuff. Where did he get my name, and how did he get this mailing out so fast? This bears exploring, I think. I build websites for a living, and I can tell you that getting a huge mass mailing out like this is no small task. It is very server intensive, and a list of that size would require quite a few servers to be crunching those emails out in order to get them all to their destinations as quickly as these did. Did he get the list from the DNC? I used to be on their list, but unsubscribed after they started being so biased toward HRC. I also signed up a long time ago onto barack's website so I could look around. So it may have been BO's list. I have never received any solicitations from him, however. Is this the deal Edwards made with Obama? -

What's wrong with the name Hussien? Is it suppossed to mean something?

For someone who is running a campaign of inclusiveness, I have never seen so much division. To Clinton supporters: Bill Clinton is not running for president, his wife is. It seems that there is something nostalgic about Hilliary Clinton running for president, as if we are going to suddenly live in the 90s again. We have had the Bush Sr (4 years) Clinton (8 years) Bush (8 years), please, I don't want another Clinton (4 -???). Lets have something new and promising. We need a change!

Sluggo, LOL I am sure you are having a good time tonight. Enjoy yourself. LOL

Hmmm, I guess we lost in Mississippi. No, we won. Don't be afraid, it will be alright. LOL

You will not stop change from coming.
