And again, it isn't about the "beef issue" it is that this answer is another example of the same problem that led to the Iraq vote, the NCLB, the Patriot Act, the Bankrupcy Bill, the limiting liability on nuclear power plans, the energy bill and even his current tax plan.

Edwards is all about Edwards' popularity and nothing more.

If a candidate REALLY CARES about global warming as an issue, they would know about the UN report and have an opinion on it and offer some response on the substance. Someone above (sorry I forgot their name) offered an AMAZING response about how there are many causes and everyone should work to reduce their own personal carbon footprint by 10% in whatever way they feel comfortable.

What I saw here was a candidate who didn't care about the issue one bit, but instead cared about the Rhetoric behind the issue "Suv's Bad, Oil Bad" and seemed like he didn't really understand WHY.

It is that same LACK of real caring that leads someone to vote for the IWR. It wasn't about lives to him, it wasn't about the deaths of innocents... it wasn't a vote he researched tirelessly for weeks and struggled with. It was a vote he jumped all over and stood before the senate and labeled Iraq a grave threat that must be dealt with. He cared about how his vote would position him for his presidential run, not about the lives he would be ruining and ending with his vote.

For me, this election comes down to political courage and John Edwards, in his entire life has NEVER shown a single act of political courage and this answer is just another example of that.
