Reply #8: political, yes [View All]

moral, I don't want to hear it. Certainly not from a politician.

You talk about what's moral, and opposing a conservative political agenda, but have you considered the consequences of describing this conflict in those terms? Does that kind of talk really promote a liberal agenda?

Decency, fairness, responsibility, all these words that Edwards cites as values, those I agree are relevant and can be debated. But how do we debate who's got better morals without dragging religion into it? Who among us is the final arbiter of what's righteous and what is wicked?

How does John Edwards feel about pluralism? Is that a fundamental value of his? If it were, I should expect that he would think better of talking up his moral differences with his political opponents.
