AWESOME VIDEO OF EDWARDS SLAMMING OBAMA ON REAGAN

He hasn't a clue about US History..
Obama is KerryII!

:hi:

Can't wait until the Dems are purged of those afflicted with Reagan-o-philia.

But there is something very questionable about the glee with which you have posted it.

what I may or may not say to Obama supporters. Your behaving like a spoiled child has nothing to do with how anyone else's supporters behave - or at least, it shouldn't.

I expect this kind of thing from people on the other side. But it's disgusting and pathetic that people who call themselves Democrats carry on this way - and then whine, "Why are you looking at me?! THEY'RE doing it, TOO!!!" when called on. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

Shame on you. Thank God you and others like you, while increasingly ubiquitous on DU, are a distinct minority in real-world Democratic politics.

what so many Repukes called "The Reagan Revolution" or not. However AND unfortunately, history has made him into some sort of "icon" that HE WAS NOT!! I admit that I'm NO Obama supporter, and this is just ONE MORE REASON why I'm not! My husband belonged to a communications Union back then, and thankfully he was FORTUNATE enough to be able to retire "early" and benefit from that Union. Today, we still have friends who still work for that company, which has changed hands and some of the stories they tell us... well it's shocking!

The company that took over is Verizon if that TELLS you anything! One of the reasons so many of us who were once "middle class" support John Edwards is because WE LIVED in the America he's talking about. I DON'T find any GLEE in the post, but I will say this... for one of our candidates to make comparisons with Ronnie RayGUNS, even if he only meant it in a simplistic way bothers me a GREAT deal. And it speaks VOLUMES to me about that person. My first impression of Obama is quite different than it is today. I felt Bill Clinton did many good things while he was President, even though I ALWAYS knew he was much more moderate than me, but since that time the DLC rose up and reared it's head. I don't expect that the liberalism of the 60's or 70's to return, but I certainly don't want the DLC OR Reaganism to return. Both Clinton & Obama represent that to me. But that is each person's choice, I only say... Be Careful Of What You Wish For!

I don't want to make this into an attack on Obama, it has nothing to do with race because I sincerely believe it's time we in America should be able to elect a person of color and/or a woman. But THAT person should be one who actually reflects the views of Democrats. Just because Reagan was crowned and sold as almost the best thing since "sliced bread" DID NOT make him a good President. His agenda and what he did to this country was the "spark" that ignited people who followed him. One name comes to mind, and he himself has said this as he praised Reagan is Newt Gingrich! Many took the hand-off of that ball and ran with it... so here we are today because too many people put Ronnie up on a pedestal because back then HE was the Rock Star!! What Reagan began, and many people in his administration are still with us today, who became the NeoCons that have contributed to what I think is the "dumbing down" of America!

Even today, so many of our own Democrats lack enough empathy to think any further than the offices they hold. That IS what has happened to this country! Hate is a word I try NOT to use, but this administration has made it pass my lips a couple of times. And I sincerely believe that those who will still be in office on the other side ARE NOT going to be willing to let "bygones be bygones!"

I wish it were that easy... mark my words IT WILL NOT BE SO!! And the fact that Obama felt compelled to use that comparison says a lot to me ABOUT him. And that DOES NOT make me full of GLEE! It WORRIES ME!!

directly. And I have spent my entire adult life and devoted my career to fighting for economic and social justice and against the efforts of Reagan and his ilk to undermine it.

There is no way on earth that I would EVER defend anyone of any race, gender or polotical party whom I believed to be justifying or praising any of those actions.

I dont believe for one second that Obama's comments did any such thing. He simply stated a historical fact. And he was right.

I don't expect everyone to agree with me. People have every right to interpret his comments however they choose. But I DO object to the piling on, the vicious attacks, the blatant, cynical and calculated distortion of his comments - primarily by people who've never supported him and consistently and aggressively trash him at every turn, no matter what he says or does.

If people don"t agree with what he said - fine - don't vote for him. If they think its sacrilege for a Democrat to mention Reagan's name - don't vote for him. If they resent him for cooly assessing Reagan without prefacing and ending his comments by spitting, cursing and calling him a bastard - don't vote for him.

But mischaracterizing Obama's remark, lying about his words and intent, and attacking him - and anyone who dares defend him - as a sellout, a "Republican-Lite," and worse goes far beyond the pale and I will speak up against such tactics at every opportunity.

Well if any wants to know what Joe Democratic America thinks outside of DU, there you go!

I can't wait for the posts to start flooding in on how are Americans are stupid.

I have to Admit John Edwards is looking better and better.

John Edwards on Reagan



On edit: caps. LOL!

that Bush is simply beyond the pale. Even Reagan managed a good move now and then (e.g. "Tear down that wall") but Bush ... never. This is not praise of Reagan ... but a trial lawyer's case and condemnation of the monkey fuck asshole appointed by the Supremes to rule this land. If ya don't get it, I can't help ya.

Flip side. I think people are making over much of Obama's strategic analysis of Reagan and his impact on our times.

at a WWF "pro" wrasslin' event.
We get it, you're a fanatic.

"During the 1930’s, President Roosevelt essentially ended the dominance of the “Bourbon Democrats” in national Democratic politics and moved the Democratic Party solidly behind a political program of economic populism. As a result, the nation saw a couple generations of solid economic growth and mass prosperity. A vibrant middle class emerged from the policies promoted by FDR. The Democratic Party clearly replaced the Republicans as the stronger of the two major parties as a result."


"Beginning with the election of Ronald Reagan, many Democrats in power drifted away from the core values of the Democratic Party and started running as “Republican-lite” candidates. They started trying to compete for corporate campaign money by permitting awful trade agreements that undermined the health of the American economy and weakened the American middle class while helping the economic elite become even more powerful."


"Edwards is the most labor-friendly Presidential candidate of the top-tier candidates.
With Edwards, we have a candidate who both walks the walk and talks the talk.
Edwards is strongly opposed to outsourcing American jobs and is committed to ending unfair
international trade deals or tax policies that encourage corporations to move jobs
out of the nation." more ...

IF HE EVER RUNS FOR SENATE AGAIN I`M VOTING FOR THE REPUBLICAN!! WAIT HE IS A REPUBLICAN!

I would have switched camera angles very quickly.

Edwards was misrepresenting what Obama said because his campaign at this point is at a point of desperation. I'm sure he'll apologize for what he said like all the other things he did as Senator that he has since apologized for.

The guy with the Edwards sign upside down showed to me just how little some of his fans look at the details.

This thread deserves to end up with at least 50 recs.

:thumbsup:

and is only a part of ronald Reagan's presidency.
