There is no flip flop here. Red Herring

WRONG. Edwards voted AGAINST the Iraq funding bill when he was in the Senate because he believed Bush had exceeded his authority and because he didn't think Bush was sufficiently accountable for the money.

Only Nooot and Ms Saa-rah Absentee-Mother Fail-in are tougher on the ears than the combination of John Edward + John Edwards.

This is stupid. This is a complex issue, and having media (and campaigns) trying to make it into a yes/no question is ludicrous. Equivocating is the only appropriate response to these questions, which are part of the problem. Politics should NOT be about "sound bites".

America help SEPERATE CHURCH AND STATE like this country long ago established we would. Stop voting between two modest DOMNATE political parties and do something to help your nation out. Vote for a third party it's the only thing that can help this country. We need to be able to choose from more then just 2 PEOPLE the powers at be in this country decide are the people for the job. Please vote for a third choice!

Love Child.

FUNNY HOW STATES RIGHTS are so important to Democrats on the immigration issue until the states start actually enforcing the law. THEN, immigration is "a federal issue."

AND THIS NONSENSE about "giving illegal aliens licenses after comprehensive reform" is ludicrous double-speak. OF COURSE legalized illegal aliens can get licenses -- they've become citizens!

Nope, DEPORT, DEPORT, DEPORT.

From someone who voted for Edwards and worked on his behalf in 2004, he is full of shit. His position is the same as Hillary's, he is just losing badly and talking out of his ass.

Nice try with cutting off Edwards in mid-sentence.

So what is your connection with the Clinton campaign?

[ashlarah]

This video is disingenuous. If you watched the show, you know that Edwards said as clear as day: "I am against that plan." He also had an in depth answer, shown here, that went into further detail.
