Wolf still working to defeat Edwards
It was as plain as the nose on you face,Wolf Blitzer was going to hold Edwards in the corner, remember people , it was on Wolfs News Program, that the thing about Gore stating he started the internet... He is after Edwards in the same matter...That is ok Wolf, my husband is in charge of the news programs in my home. I haven't said one word to him about Blitzer or any other media person, however I have been watching him for a while to see where he is getting his news, here is what I have seen in the last few weeks. After the thing with Dan on CBS, he wouldn't watch Katie BUT in the last few weeks he hasn't been watching CNN..has been watching Katie and other reporters. I wonder how long it will take CNN to replace Wolf with Roberts. I hope he goes back and watches the debate and see how he played up to some of the group, there for a while I thought it was the Hillary and Bill show, Bill Richardson is the Bill that I am speaking of.

Did you notice President Edwards on one end, and Vice President Biden on the other end...Go John and Joe.

4. Wold was pathetic.
He was a participant in the debate, not a moderator.

The worst was when he substituted his own questions for those of the audience.

Yeah. Medal. Purple Heart for a damaged Brain.

6. I thought he was the best one so far in holding them to answering the question posed to them
and numerous times he upheld the promise he made in the beginning that he wouldn't let them stray from the original question. With all the other moderators, the candidates either didn't give answers to the questions or they gave scripted answers that didn't even apply to the questions asked of them.

Anyway, I guess we all see it differently. :)

9. I think he tried to make them
answer questions in sound bites and out of context. It drove me crazy.

11. The message is more important than the messenger...
Silencing Edwards is a tactic to prevent the message from getting out to the public, who desperately need to hear it.

Ignore Kucinich, silence Edwards, and the pro-corporatist agenda remains inviolate.

Glad to hear you're on board with that tactic. Tells me EXACTLY where you're coming from.

5. Yep
Not only was wolf obvious, but the so called "best team" they came up with to rate the debates! Carville, Gerden, and Watts who is a republican! Gee how much more obvious can they get! :puke:

7. They are all in the top 6%....
the ones Hillary will protect from a tax increase, while the rest of us will get a bi-partisan commission who will fix SS on OUR backs.


Hillary would rather PLANT questions than answer them!

12. It was remarkable Hillary's talk about the top 6% as if they were middle class
I wish that had been explained a little better by Hillary just how this works....

10. IF Anyone Has Been Listening To The "After The Debates Talking Heads" John
John


John Edwards ALWAYS scores high marks for each performance. In fact many state he's the one who is really taking on Hillary and showing her vulnerabilities. But then comes the "zinger" about how the D.C. Elites really hate him and are actually working behind the scenes to tamp him down and make sure he doesn't get credit for exposing Hillary on many issues.

When pressed by Major MSM hosts, they come out and say that the hosts very probably know who and what are behind this, and it's not a secret to insiders in D.C. and NYC!! I will say this in their defense, it's hard to climb the ladder to achieve that special spot where they worked so hard to make it to the top in the dog eat dog journalism heap. And they probably know full well that by actually breaking it open, it's a death nell to their careers. They know they will be branded and lose that inside track to many and various connections that helped them achieve the notable echelon of having "contacts" that feed them. To expose means getting dumped and they aren't willing to spill the beans because of it. So the subtle hints are made to push the "alert" button without having to take the personal responsibility of being a "whistle blower!" And most of us know what happens to whistle blowers. Does the word "pariah" come to mind?? It's almost signing your demise.

But then I stop and think about Woodward & Bernstein and how they threw caution to the wind and did "the right thing" and by doing so we are aware WHAT they did and the consequences they made happen! Sure, times have changed and I presume they have families to think about and support. But damn it, it's because of this temerity that has allowed this once great country to slide further into a downward spiral!

I have watched this closely, Edwards gets great Kudos and yet... the Clinton Machine has the inside track, with the likes of Chuck Schumer & Rahm Emanuel who wield the under belly of the DLC Agenda! And Edwards has shucked his allegiance to the rarefied air he was blinded by when he first got a taste of WHAT being a Senator could offer him. He made mistakes he regrets, but perhaps looked back and decided he didn't like what he was becoming and "changed" his mind! This IS NOT flip-flopping and I have a certain feeling he KNOWS what kind of money he needs to proceed. And WHO is getting the bulk of that money and WHY??

I no longer trust the ass-kissing that has made me and my family less important and to tighten our belts because of it. Calling Edwards "desperate" because the so called polls "tell" WE THE PEOPLE we should support a certain candidate looks a lot like the very same scenario I've seen one too many times! And it's the same tactic we were so offended when the BUSHIES did it!

So I say... BEWARE OF WHAT you are buying and remember what the song by The Who esposed... "meet the new boss, same as the old boss and THIMMMMK!

I like Kucinich, but the betting odds don't lend me to think that he will sell outside of the true Liberal candidate! And it's a shame! So remember how fiercely Ronnie Rayguns made "liberal" into a person who didn't deserve the time of day! And see what the got us!
