Edwards is a charlatan.

He had everyone believing he was a Howard Dean populist.
It first, took a look at his senate record, and laughed till I was rolling in the floor.

His senate record was a conservative and play-it-safe as it gets.

Kerry despised Edwards because instead of being a running mate, he only campaigned for himself. He refused to attack, which is what the VP candidate does.

Kerry told the NYT Edwards wanted him to lose so Edwards could run for president again.

He has such a bleeding heart for the poor that after Kerry lost, Edwards spent the last FOUR YEARS working on nothing more than getting himself elected president.

This operator spent an entire YEAR before the Iowa primary, campaigning in Iowa. He figured he'd have it made. People in Iowa thought the guy was a loony. He IS a loony!

And being obsessed with nothing more than himself, he waited to endorse until he could see who he thought would win.

The fact that Clinton's health and economic plan are far to the left of Obama's, and closer to Edwards didn't mean a thing.

Because Edwards does not care about the poor, the candidates or anything. He is a tight vortex of ambition.

Finally, and only recently, he ran down to Jimmy Carter's housing for the poor to "help out" ie give himself some creds.

At least the poor are finally getting a little something out of this shyster!

I can't help but notice that you only said this after he disagreed w/ you.

Um. Humor.

Get some.

Dude. It was a Colbert joke.

It alludes to The Daily Show on Comedy Central . . .

Would you like a comfortable chair while you wait? It's going to be awhile....

Yes, but who gets the ratings?!

CNN carried Edwards' comments. Fox did too.

.

Local TV ran Edawards and Obama live here in west Michigan.

A packed stadium, crowds outside, two rocking voices for CHANGE!

It just ended. I'm pumped.

Responding to myself, I held my reaction to Edwards' endorsement of Obama to let my passions cool overnight, however, as a former Edwards fan, I am very disappointed that he didn't remain neutral and let the process play out. He should have allowed Clinton to continue making her argument for only an additional 3 weeks. There was no downside risk to him in this at all. Especially considering that we are in the very late stages of the primary season, should Obama falter for any reason between now and the Denver convention, Edwards' endorsement will be seen as a failure of judgment, constricting whatever options he had open to help the party seniors to heal the divisions and achieve unity.

Therefore, I find myself reconsidering his late-emerging populism, and now see his sudden and unexpected endorsement move as purely serving his personal ambitions.

Wait, so the media is biased for Obama or against him? What is it this week? I just can't keep up with you guys any more.

Please tell me someone is getting this on YouTube. I'm at work (barely working obviously) and can't watch.

Because he makes the right wing look bad.

it wasnt the pundits. the pundits were discussing the exit polling where more than 50% of the voters there said race played a factor. Pat totally overreacted.

Yeah Carol, I was watching MSNBC during that whole "exchange" between Chris and Pat. I couldn't believe how angry Pat was defending the dignity of uneducated white voter's. Hell, he sounded more populist than John Edwards ;-)

In Pat Buchanan's own words:

He encouraged Nixon not to visit the widow of MLK, because it would:

"outrage many, many people who believe Dr. King was a fraud and a demagogue and perhaps worse.... Others consider him the Devil incarnate. Dr. King is one of the most divisive men in contemporary history."

"There is a legitimate grievance in my view of white working-class people that every time, on every issue, that the black militants loud-mouth it, we come up with more money.... If we can give 50 Phantoms to the Jews, and a multi-billion dollar welfare program for the blacks...why not help the Catholics save their collapsing school system."

On former Grand Wizard David Duke:
"Take a hard look at Duke's portfolio of winning issues and expropriate those not in conflict with GOP principles, [such as] reverse discrimination against white folks."

Trying to justify apartheid in South Africa, he denounced the notion that...
"white rule of a black majority is inherently wrong. Where did we get that idea? The Founding Fathers did not believe this."

On Hitler:
"an individual of great courage...Hitler's success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path."

On Jews being gassed to death from diesel exhaust fumes at Treblinka:
"Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody."

Ugly, hateful man.

Yeah Carol...That was funny to me....They were laughing at Pat...made me laugh...

The 50s

(*sniff* ... looks so peaceful ... almost lifelike...)

Yeah = pre-1864.

Buchanan has always been a White Supremacist and surely the network knew that when they hired him, since he's written books on it and everything.

It's no damn secret.

A different time zone...lol

Yuupp......so is Rev Wright.....Care to parse?
