Time for healing, Edwards Supporters

My address is to REAL Edwards supporters, not those that wants divisions, or
those that are looking for hate.....I'm talking to (Issues) Edwards supporters,
those that are concern about

Health Care

Education

Poverty

Lobbyist

Corporatist

This is about the Status Quo, Establishment, these are the things your candidate believed in,
my point is.....search yourself, find out which of these candidates carry the same belief as
John Edwards, forget about the past, its about the future.

Lets all heal, lets overcome innuendos and move our country forward.

Peace! !

:grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :loveya:

then, or your vote would be going to the other side...right!

no one is running.

ask themselves what John would want his supporters to do at this stage. I think he would want them to support a Democrat no mater what.... So, guess we need to suck it up and move on.

It's insulting to say that we haven't done this research already. I know where the candidates stand on the issues. There is no moving this country forward. We have two union-weak, pro-military, pro-globalism candidates: one of which has pretty much his whole campaign grounded in religion.

I'm getting more involved with my local Dem candidates and considering completely abandoning the party at the executive level.

maybe you missed my post, i'm addressing REAL Edwards supporters,
do me a favor, please don't distort my post.

Who the hell are you?

I used the word real, because, I was hoping to avoid retrogressive post like
the one I'm replying to.


:P

I'm not if hillary does and after this horrible excuse for an exercise in democracy I'm switching to the green party untill I decide to move out of the country.

The Hillary and Obama people have poisoned the well. Maybe in 2012 I might think about it.
I'm sorry, I know your intentions are good, but I just can't do it at this point

majority of democrats believed this is our best field yet, deciding not to vote would be
handing it over to status quo, this was one of John Edwards fight (status quo).

An Edwards supporter would look at the values that their candidate believed in and follow
him as they would in the GE.

I'm not sure of the bitterness

:dilemma:

Maybe I can apply for political asylum in Cuba. :spank: Or move back to the backwoods of Pend Oreille Co and stock up on guns and ammo and disappear.

All I feel now is infinite sadness that working people have been given the back of the hand again.

If Clinton or Obama would care to show even the slightest hint they care about any of those issues, then people who supported Edwards will probably support Clinton/Obama.

But that's a but "IF". Those two have been pandering to the right all along and refuse to take any position on anything.

Seriously, we may find McCain is a better ally for progressive ideas than either of the two Democratic candidates. That would be a shame because this is an election cycle that the Democrats should have won easily.

but it won't work, I failed to follow your meme on McCain being a better candidate than ours....
at least thats what you seem to be insinuating, if thats case, then its a shame, a big shame
on your part, taking McCain over our candidate.

I may not agree with everything that Hillary says same with Obama, but, that does not
stop me from my values/belief.

I'm really surprise that Liberal Democrats are willing to ditch their own party just
because their candidate drops out.

Then I will vote for him.

You may think that is a preposterous proposition, and by November, I may agree with you. But at this point, I'm simply saying I don't see McCain any further to the right than either Obama or Clinton, and at least in McCain's case he tries to speak plainly about what he means. Clinton and Obama try their best to not make any position clear.

I was particularly impressed with McCain's plain talk in Michigan. He's absolutely right What we have been doing in manufacturing is not working and it doesn't help to have candidates come in and sprinkle pixie dust on it. What is needed is a real strategy for American innovation and investment in American jobs.

That's just one example. There will be plenty of time to sort this out before November, but I simply put out this word of caution. This may not be a year that treats the empty suits very kindly.

you are actually blowing someone that wants us to stay in Iraq for the next 100 yrs
or as long it takes.

I'm I missing something here?

You call that Progressive values, this guy has voted against anything progressive.

I'm sensing something else here.

Neither Hillary nor Omama has taken a strong position on getting out of Iraq. They both weasel-word every statement they make.

At least McCain says it clearly.

Given the choice between 3 candidates with equivalent policies, I'd go with the one who is willing to state it plainly without equivocating. I don't agree with McCain on that policy, but I don't see that the other two would end up in a different place. The candidates who said plainly that they would get us out, close down all the bases, and do so on a prompt timetable are all out of the race.

Perhaps you are confusing Hillbama with Richardson or Kucinich.

you're for staying the course. Right or wrong

There is no "healing" needed. People supported Edwards because of the principles he advocated. If we don't see either Obama or Clinton advocating those principles in any convincing way, those candidates do not deserve our support. Simple as that. It has nothing to do with healing.

the wrong party then, why not take a different pledge, I know become a spokeperson
for the Republicans.
