Comments on: John Edwards Is Back http://donklephant.com/2008/11/11/john-edwards-is-back/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable.

Antonio Villaraigosa -- on Obama's economic advisory team. Newt Gingrich -- always on television running his mouth. Rudy Giuliani -- speaker at the RNC National Convention. David Vitter -- still a U.S. Senator. Larry Craig -- still a U.S. Senator. ALL HAVE EITHER LIED ABOUT THEIR CHEATING, or not admitted to it. Why is John Edwards more criticized than the others? Because his message is considered more threatening to the corporations that own the media that shapes the public's sense of reality. What HYPOCRITES the media and it's public lackeys are. But, but, but, he cheated while running for President. Well, Bill Clinton, Giuliani, and others cheated BEFORE THEY RAN, so they actually cheated WHILE THEY RAN, because it was an issue that could be raised against them WHILE THEY WERE RUNNING. But, when is a good time? While you're president, like Bill Clinton? While you're governor, like Bill Clinton? While you're mayor, like Villaraigosa and Giuliani? While you're Senator like David Vitter and Larry Craig? While your wife is lying in the hospital, like Newt Gingrinch? Yet, you hypocrites criticize none of them? How HYPOCRITICAL. Bill Clinton — not shunned.
Antonio Villaraigosa — on Obama’s economic advisory team.
Newt Gingrich — always on television running his mouth.
Rudy Giuliani — speaker at the RNC National Convention.
David Vitter — still a U.S. Senator.
Larry Craig — still a U.S. Senator.

ALL HAVE EITHER LIED ABOUT THEIR CHEATING, or not admitted to it.

Why is John Edwards more criticized than the others? Because his message is considered more threatening to the corporations that own the media that shapes the public’s sense of reality.

What HYPOCRITES the media and it’s public lackeys are.

But, but, but, he cheated while running for President. Well, Bill Clinton, Giuliani, and others cheated BEFORE THEY RAN, so they actually cheated WHILE THEY RAN, because it was an issue that could be raised against them WHILE THEY WERE RUNNING.

But, when is a good time? While you’re president, like Bill Clinton? While you’re governor, like Bill Clinton? While you’re mayor, like Villaraigosa and Giuliani? While you’re Senator like David Vitter and Larry Craig? While your wife is lying in the hospital, like Newt Gingrinch?

Yet, you hypocrites criticize none of them?

How HYPOCRITICAL.

Have we not learned anything since the Clinton administration? At minimum we should have learned that we're all human and to hold our politicians to higher standards than we hold ourselves in our sexual or personal lives only means we get uber conservative right winguts running the business of our country. I say welcome back, John Edwards! Your voice is needed. And let's leave him and his personal life the hell alone.

I suppose that I am just naturally distrustful of the wholesale populist act. As I remember I heard a lot of claims and statistics from him whose meaning on further analysis was quite the opposite from what he claimed. Now I know all politicians do that to some degree and I'm sure he's talented and has his heart in the right place but I'd just be more comfortable with him out of the limelight. Behind the scenes, sure no problem, just please god not in my face. Plus am I the only one who thinks that he looks like a thinner Ricky Gervais?

Why would we not want to be informed on his opinions? Sen. Edwards has been the voice for those without one for years. Why should he not continue to spread his message and opinions? Obviously people do care if they continue to book him. Shame on your simple minds.

In his July 2007 Coopers Union speech he tried, to prepare us for what has happened, the collapse of our nation's financial institutions. "First, I will create a Family Savings and Credit Commission to make sure that financial services treat families safely..I will help working families build up a cushion by matching their savings and bringing bank accounts to the 56 million without them. And I will support non-profit groups offering affordable, short-term loans. We need a new era of responsible lenders who see families as long-term investments, not quick bucks." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJlKE_BLAUM http://www.johnedwards.com/news/speeches/20070621-reduce-debt Remember John and Elizabeth Edwards: "Black America Has Your Back".
