It is time for the for the nation to get to know John R. Edwards.

and my President.

Love the pics, especially the third one.

He is the best candidate.

And for those foolish enough to let the media and its money influence their vote, they deserve what they get. But the rest of us who know better do not.

It is really up to us to get the message out there, EVERYWHERE!
John did great!

Amazing performance. I'll say this one more time, did you notice, no one called him a liar? Not once.

I watched it with a group of non-political people who aren't aware of the debates we read here every day.

Here are the most frequent comments I heard afterward -

- The other two candidates seemed angry, and were saying what people wanted to hear

- Edwards was the most sincere in what he was saying, and the most comfortable with himself and spontaneous

I broke out laughing because it was exactly the opposite of what the anti-Edwards people post here every day...every hour... maybe every minute?

I wonder how many people saw the debate, because if you watch the wrap up on CNN, it's all the same old Hillary & Obama bandwagon.

I don't think it should be easy, I mean, I expect it to be hard. But does it have to be this hard?

the world would look up to! :kick:

This also is what our country needs today too. We need to restore respect in Washington and bring Democracy back to this great country....John Edwards is the man to do it!

And I love that last picture. Proud K&R!

He is everything we need in a President, and more. Are people so addicted to "drama" that all they can tune into is the Hillary/Obama bickering? Do they think they are watching an episode of Dynasty?

He's right there, people!!! He's real! He's our JFK! How can we make this happen???????

ps, it feels good to be in here :)

:hi:

He addresses the issues that are important to me.

:kick: Good list.

I certainly hope not.
