Republican Strategist: "Edwards scares me the most"

[quest8899]

Edwards lol

[babypal01]

They both do a public dance in front of the people on television and for the press while they conitinue to allow our country to fall apart. We currently have a foothold situation goin on in this country but no one what to talk about it in any shape of form, in fifteen to twenty-five years the United States we see today will be called a new name the North American Union!

[babypal01]

There is no way i could ever trust Sen. Clinton, she went to a Bilderberg Group meeting, those people think they can decide who our leaders will be so i have chosen Sen. Obama for the Dems candidate. But that does not mean that i would support him or any Dem. for a presidential candidate, when we finally get to November i will not have anyone to chose for our President. The Dems. and Reps. are two side of the same coin, in truth i think they are one organitzation that has two faces.

[jlharter]

The terrorism of today is far less scary than the cold war, where two hostile nations were on the verge of a potential nuclear war.

During the cold war, we gained freedoms, rights, quality ethical conduct, and privacy. However, today Bush and the neo-cons have stired up so much fear that we are losing freedoms, rights, quality ethical conduct (torture), and privacy.

Truly, the Americans today either care nothing for our freedom, rights, ethics, and privacy or are simply chicken shi*s

[beingisbecoming4]

All the candidates have their things that they brag about:

Giuliani - 911(but people from NYC hate him)

McCain - POW(in a failed war, and wants to continue another failed war)

Huckabee - Christian(fake)

Romney - warmonger/he talks about doubling the size of guantanamo/brags about faith being important

Ron Paul - DEFENDER OF THE CONSTITUTION

I know who I'd pick...

[RepubLieCons]

After 8 years of GW Bush I could certinaly

use a "Personal Injury" Lawyer fighting for US in DC because my neck hurts from getting smacked by rising insurance cost, My Back hurts from working 3 parttime jobs(Because that is all you can find in a Bushit Economy) to buy 3$ gas the Iraq war was gonna fix, And my ass hurts when I think about a 10-trillion-$ RepubLieCon Federal Deficit! Git-r-dun John!

[askwara]

People, see film AMERICA FROM FREEDOM TO FASCISM (google) and then vote as you wish... Marry Chrismas!!!

[hfkjehgufihgiufewi]

clinton, and FDR were this country's best presidents.  Hillary is devilwoman though and is just running for the minority vote. if hillary wins (which I doubt), bill should lock that bitch in a closet and take over!

[hfkjehgufihgiufewi]

southern democrat...HA! That's an oxymoron. All the candidates suck, none of them will end the turkey shoot over in iraq and this country's going to hell in a handbasket.

[columbusclipper]

Ron Paul will end the war in Iraq and completely change our foreign policy. You should vote for him.

[lilbojado154]

This is a comparison over the first 4yrs ONLY. I really don't know how he kept his job? Median household income, change Clinton: +1.7% per year Bush: -1.6% per year Number of Americans in poverty (average change per year) Clinton: -800,000 Bush: +1.5 million Number of Americans without health insurance Clinton: +145,000 Bush: +1,885,000 Federal surplus/deficit (annual average): Clinton: +$5 billion Bush: -$350 billion Vote democrat...

[jlharter]

Modern republicans are unpatriotic towards our American Ideals.

Modern republicans should move to Canada since they mistreat our ideals as a country! They are not patriotic towards America, but rather have some sort of ignorant prejudice and sense of imperialistic superiority, along with being cluttered with massive levels of gluttony.

[kyrilfenrir]

No way! Canada doesn't want them!

[LIGO4less]

John Edwards is the only right choice for the Democrats. It's likely that GOP will have Romney as the nominee and Huckabee as a VP. A dream ticket for Dems would be John Edwards and Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana.

[strategyminded]

Edwards needs to choose someone like Mario Cuomo. If he chooses a DLC Democrat like Evan Bayh, I will fear for Edwards' life, because there is no way the "entrenched" interests are going to allow Edwards to finish out his Presidency. If you want "assassination insurance," choose someone that corporate America hates as much as you. For Edwards, Mario Cuomo would be a good choice.

[caliwmn760]

I HEART John Edwards!!!! He is the one for the job. Ron Paul might have the right idea, and I say "might" but I kinda feel sorry for him when he speaks. He can barely make a point.

[BrettR4763]

Well, let's look at the converse. This Republican might be saying this out of self-interest, really believing that with his $400 haircuts and flip-flopping from the war to trade policy, Edwards might be the easiest candidate for the Republicans to beat. Be wary of what the opposition says.

[rp088814]

Hey John, become Ron Paul's VP. You're not black or gay enough for the Democrats.

[stratvic]

If the US is to progress as a meritocracy (clintons' word) candidates should not be elected based on their dynasty (Bush, Clinton, Kennedy).

Lets have some new blood.

[percymate]

Beware, Edwards is a member of the CFR and WILL push the SPP(North American Union, NAFTA Super Highway, blow the border open to immigration, etc)

I hope Edwards beats Hillary though! :)

[MordechaiVenunu]

What a save choice, he is a pussy!

[NoMoreBlatherDotCom]

Edwards has not yet reached the bottom of the barrel. We'll know he's at the bottom when he quotes the editor of a college newspaper as claiming that Edwards is the one who scares him the most.

[asdffd]

All the polling shows John Edwards is clearly the strongest Democratic candidate- easily beating all the Republicans. We have a real chance to turn the south blue again with a Edwards nominee. Now if only the Dems voting in primaries will wake up before it's too late.

[Paul84674]

What these old media talking heads should be scared of is unemployment. We have a free press now, it's called the Internet.

[RPcantwin]

Paul, I hate 2 tell u but unemployment only plays a part 2 about 4.5%.... A very very very very very low number!

[RPcantwin]

If I misunderstood you I'm sorry! I thought you were saying unemployment was high! We all know that's a lot of crap!!!!!! lol!

[micsc50]

Only queers will vote for the BRECK BOY.

[bpl72]

I'm glad to hear you will be supporting John Edwards for President.

[gothicseed]

You and Anne Coulter... the embodiment of intelligence and good taste for America.. thank you for your awe-inspiring comment.

[Devin1498]

well that's because republicans are homophobic.

[reloadedmatrix]

Edwards Obama ticket!

[wyzguy333]

Sen. Edwards admitted he " made a mistake " in voting for the Iraq war bill in 2002. He knows what he's in for should he get the nomination. The Republicans should be scared.

Go Edwards!

[RPcantwin]

I would never vote for a democrat, but if they stand a chance, Edwards is their only hope. Neither, Obama or Hillery can win the general election!

[eurohim]

At least you're honest about being partisan.

[dtaijo174]

I actually agree with this guy. Hillary is soo hated. I think Obama would probably put up a good fight, but Edwards would probably be the biggest challenge.

this is coming from a Ron Paul supporter...

[mattbstl30]

Edwards will sink the party.  Of course they say they want Edwards because they can easily beat him.

[bpl72]

If the GOP thought he was the easiest Democrat to beat, their Retardican friends in the GOP owned media would be giving him all the attention instead of HC or BO.

[torti90210]

If the democrats choose Barak Hussein Obama for the presidential ticket they are going to loose the election

[nhydes]

"[L]oose" the election? I don't think Democrats are relying on ignorant folks like yourself to win. Democrats concede rednecks, bigots, and morons to the Republicans and go after the other 71%.

[bxblox]

what hillary experience? spent most of her time as our jr. senator trying to be president

[ultimate175gm]

Woops. I said a little over a year. I meant a single term. Yes that is six years. But look at the last time a senator was elected in the general election.

[ultimate175gm]

I'm not trying to discredit her professional career, but everyone else has a professional career as well. In that realm I think Obama's is stronger than hers. Yes she had health care. But when she boasts about it people point out it failed, so they say it wasn't her policy but Bill's. She really doesn't have as much experience as she claims. Even Richardson has more experience than her.

[ultimate175gm]

Those questions annoy me. Why doesn't Hilary's resume experience give her a boost? Stop using her talking points. Hilary can't run on her resume experience alone because she has way less experience than almost all the other candidates beyond Barack. It is funny that she harrassed him the whole time where her resume is as first lady of the state of Arkansa and first lady of the United states and New York senator for only a little over a year.

[thequietkid10]

let me take that one step further....when you consider Obama's time in the state Senate of Illinois, Barack Obama actually has more experiance as an elected offical then Hillary.

[blair227]

Edwards is the best overall candidate. Hillary and Obama can't win. Edwards in all polls beats any Repug.

[Ralphdraw3]

Here's a little secret that only the people at You Tube should know about:

many, many Democrats dislike Hillary Clinton a lot (but don't tell ANYONE!!!)

[Ralphdraw3]

Even the Joe has all that experience, Joe was stupid enough to vote in favor if the Iraq War Resolution.... Joe should have known better..

[semiliteratedgod]

well I wonder how is Edwards better than Bill Clinton was. Bill ran a very similar campaign based on populism, right after the elections turned into a modern republican.

[Ralphdraw3]

Bill Clinton was better than Bush - a whole lot better. The budget was balanced and there were no stupid wars...

And Edwards will be better than Dumbya Bush.. Bush is ranked as one of the worst presidents in history - worse than Nixon perhaps..

[semiliteratedgod]

"and there were no stupid wars..."

well at least one: the war against Yugoslavia, then the embargo against Iraq has killed 0.5M kids and supported Saddam pretty much, the Turks slaughtered a huge number of Kurds with Clintons support, and so on... He wasn't totally a neocon puppet though, thus he was a bit better than Bush. But it was in a different time, no 911, no high oil price, no strong Russian and raising Chinese opposition etc

[Ralphdraw3]

The war in Yugoslavia was not stupid. I don't think there was a single American casualty. The European also backed and approved our intervention in Yugoslavia. And the situation in Yugoslavia was brought under control

How did the Clinton "support" the Turks killing Kurds? and haven't Turks been killing Kurds and Kurds been killing Turks for years???

The Neo Cons tried to get Clinton to invade Iraq in 1998 and Clinton told them to take a hike...

[semiliteratedgod]

"The war in Yugoslavia was not stupid"

I disagree, Clinton wanted a war, the negotiation was a joke (try it now with Putin instead of Yeltsin...)

"I don't think there was a single American casualty"

what can I say... I count everyone, not only Americans (then nuke Iraq with 100 warheads -> problem solved)

"And the situation in Yugoslavia was brought under control"

wait a bit with your conclusions.

"How did the Clinton "support" the Turks killing Kurds?"

massive arms shipments, silence.

[Ralphdraw3]

What massive arms shipments?

Haven't Turks been killing Kurds for years???

Your candidate?

[Ralphdraw3]

what can I say... I count everyone, not only Americans (then nuke Iraq with 100 warheads -> problem solved) @@@

@@ Good for you: so how many civilian casualties in Yugoslavia after American and European intervention?? Any idea?

[semiliteratedgod]

I'm not interested in writing essays here, do your own research on both turkey and yugoslavia (google or listen2 Chomsky or something), and add tons of depleted uranium to that in Yugoslavia (mainly in Kosovo) which means radioactive poisoning for eternity, and that 78 days of massive bombing had totally destroyed the infrastructure of yugoslavia.

US shipped bin laden kinda guys to kosovo, which is complludicrous

[Ralphdraw3]

Sorry, I have three estimates for the number of Iraqi civilians killed since the invasion. I have never heard ANY number raised by any of the candidates of the number of civilians killed in Yugoslavia. Obviously you don't know and don't care.

Chomsky, as far as I know isn't running for president... 78 days of bombing? by the U.S. and the Europeans?? And the U.N. didn't complain?

BTW: still far better off economically under Clinton than under Bush41 or Bush43

[semiliteratedgod]

sorry,there are troops from around the world in Iraq too.But it's clearly Bush's war. Edwards supported it btw. Just remember,it took years until the first criticism came out.

Clinton was "successful" only because the target was much easier.And as I said: Clinton had very low oil prices,very cheap China,no inland terrorist attacks etc.I'm not defending Bush, I'm just saying that Clinton wasn't so much better.

Oh and I'm supporting everybody who's against war,torture,unjust corporate welfare.

[Ralphdraw3]

Oh....

your candidate???

[Ralphdraw3]

Bush is ranked has one of the worst president's history. He is now presiding over the second recession of his presidency (the first being the Enron recession).  The federal budget is hopeless out of balance at this point - due to excessive spending, both military and domestic, and idiotic, irresponible tax cuts to the wealthy...

[milkmantx]

Drop the CFR and all ties to them publicly and you (John Edwards) can have my vote!

[ImperiusRex]

i think all three Democratic frontrunners would have to struggle against any Republican candidate. Personally, I think Democrats should go for a safe choice - Biden or Dodd. Obama as Vice President

[voyzovrezon]

Funny how Russert acts surprised that Hillary hasn't locked up the nomination with the name recognition and visibility. Someone needs to remind Russert that he's the one giving her recognition and visibility. During one interview with a republican, he mentioned Clinton 8 times. I know because I counted.

[weirdoveirdo]

Well, he wants her nominated, like he said. I agree with him that the best thing for the republicans would be her nomination. Obama is in second.

[psirulehpro]

Go Edwards!!! he is the only candidate calling for REAL change...the NECESSARY change.

[jmilo22]

people in Iowa do not want anyone telling them who to vote for, at the end of the day voters know this country cannot afford to be burdoned by a corrupt right wing that has destroyed our honor and credibility around the world, Edwards gives the Democratic party and this country a chance to restore our dignity and focus on real important issues, not increasing the bottom line for oil and military companies. Vote Edwards for change!!

[steve10c]

What scares me are the voters. I was in New Hampshire and a guy told me he couldn't decide between Richardson and Giuliani. Yes, those two candidates with nothing in common from two different parties.

And Iowa polls just scare me. Hillary's supporters list "Bill Clinton" and "health care" as their big reasons for support.

They scare me more than my own home state of Florida.

[ILoooooveCamels]

Sounds like a straight shooter! ('Course everybody does when they're sitting next to Steve McMahon.)

[MishuTaste]

If Americans want change, why would they vote for a candidate that will do the same thing Pres. Bush will do?

[gothicseed]

Edwards can also learn from Gore.. Gore found his own VOICE (against Corpoarte America) too late in the game.. John Edwards, we love ya but step up to the plate just a LITTLE closer,.. PLEASE!!

[MishuTaste]

Edwards needs a good P.R. firm to back him up.

[gothicseed]

Edwards is the only hope for real change in a positive way. If he took Kucinich's health plan to a T, he might get more Kucinich supporters. Just a suggestion. Rent Sicko.. single payer health. But his mandate of mandated health insurance is leagues ahead of both Obama and Hillary!

[weirdoveirdo]

Kucinich, even if he does have some odd beliefs, beats Edwards, hands down, on everything. He has a record (unlike Edwards) of integrity, honor, and doing what is right no matter what the cost. He is saying all the right things, ergo to media is afraid of him and gives him no coverage. Any canidate who gets good media coverage cannot be trusted. That is a constant.

[semiliteratedgod]

sh*t, accidentally I pushed thumbdown for this comment:)

★ listen2  weirdoveirdo guys ★

[sparkleon]

Very true that Republican's fear John Edwards and with reason... he will give DC a fresh and new start.

[weaslebkh]

Why dont they ever talk about Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel?

[chazzadams]

because those two aren't even actively campaigning in Iowa or New Hampshire

They're barely participating in their own campaigns

[sabaticl]

I don't know about Gravel, but that is certainly NOT true in Kucinich participating in his own campaign. He was right in 2004, he is right today. Kucinich is the only candidate with a single payer Universal health care plan and he and his wife are very actively campaigning. His idea for a cabinet level "Secretary of Peace" to balance the Rumsfeld "Secretary of Offense is right on.

[gothicseed]

Amen .. I wish Edwards would adopt similar passions... because he is more "marketable" whatever.. Corporate ass-kissers like Hillary and Obama MUST be stopped!! Kucinich is no. 1 Edwards 2 .. the others.. forget it.. kiss your tax dollars good bye to Corporate Insurance Companies..business as usual.
