Just a reminder: You will not stop me from voting for John Edwards

[MalloyLiberal]

STFU.

[no name no slogan]

1. No, but Nixon's ghost just might

[1corona4u]

2. Knock yourself out.

:-)

[sandnsea]

3. He isn't perfect either

People need to take just as hard a look at decisions he made before his current conversion as they do at any other candidate.

[Beaverhausen]

7. Are any of them perfect? Did anyone claim he is perfect?

They each have flaws and votes in the past that we don't agree with.

[sandnsea]

15. Regarding "stfu"

People should not have to "stfu" because the poster doesn't want to see anything bad about John Edwards. They all have faults and the responsible thing to do is consider the faults honestly.

[ruggerson]

19. hahahahah

that's the funniest thing I've read in weeks.

[polichick]

4. Go John!

9. Fear and desperation are rampant around here today. I support JRE - as do millions of others.

A few snarky, often disengenuous comments will not stop the dream!

[polichick]

13. Yeah, it really is weird here today...

You said it ~ fear and desperation indeed!

[bobbolink]

21. What Gandhi had to say about that fear and desperation...

"First they ignore you."

"Then they laugh at you."

"Then they fight you."

"Then you win."


I think we're at the fight stage.

:hi:

[FreakinDJ]

5. I think in the long run he'll be the nomination

so go ahead and vote for him

He is the candidate that can draw the most swing voters

[Donnachaidh]

6. the new posting strategy is HILLarious

One posts something, and then within 5 minutes another posts a direct link back to the initial post.

Wonder if a meeting was called to map out THAT strategy? :rofl:

[cali]

10. Yeah, if only it were only Clinton supporters posting criticism of him.

But it's not.

:rofl:

8. I doubt anyone wants to stop you. You should vote

for him if he's the candidate you believe in. But all the shut the fuck ups in the world don't make him immune from criticism or analysis. Live with it.

[maximusveritas]

11. The better a candidate is doing

the more they tend to get attacked. This is a good sign for Edwards more than anything.

[bobbolink]

23. I think so, too. I think it's a VERY GOOD sign!

Go, Johnny, Go!

[Writer]

12. Okee dokey.

[TwilightGardener]

14. Er...okay. Have at it.

[TroubleMan]

16. Diebold or ES&S might.

nt.

[flvegan]

17. Was someone trying to stop you?

:shrug:

[GCP]

18. I'm still voting for him

He's the only one who addresses the Two Americas issue.

[Lord Helmet]

20. You Don't Say?

[Buzz Clik]

24. Why would anyone even consider trying to stop you?

Voting is a right and a privilege. Vote for anyone you want.

[Dawgs]

25. Don't you mean voting for Hillary Clinton?

[Yuugal]

26. Just a reminder: You will not stop me from cracking up.

Go Edwards!

[Two Americas]

27. stalking horse

Discouraging people from voting for Edwards may be a stalking horse for discouraging people from considering the ideas that Edwards is expressing and for discouraging broader participation in the national political discussion. Both of those - increased participation by everyday non-political people, and the expression of the traditional Democratic party arguments defending the have-nots and the less fortunate and the left behind - threaten the powerful in both parties. The ongoing candidate fights obscure what is important and break down effective communication.

Dodd, Biden, Richardson and Kucinich are all expressing these ideas as well, and we will all need to work together in the days to come. So "STFU" may not be the best thing to be saying.

How about "SHO" - "speak the hell out." But let's talk about ideas, principles, solidarity; let's find the common ground and build a strong foundation for the fight ahead. Almost all of the people here are sincere, thoughtful and considerate. Don't let the few drive us off-purpose and put up needless barriers between potential allies and friends.

We are what is important, not the politicians. That is the essence of the Democratic party and of democracy itself.

[K8-EEE]

29. He's got my vote too!!

Go Johnny GO!

[LWolf]

30. Ok, lol.

I hope you enjoy your vote as much as I will enjoy mine for Kucinich.

[MalloyLiberal]

35. A wasted vote

[LWolf]

38. Not at all.

No vote cast for something or someone I feel is best for the nation is ever wasted.

A wasted vote is the one where I hold my nose and vote for something or someone I don't want, believing that I "have no choice."

[robbedvoter]

31. I've seen similar postings from Ron Paul advocates.

Right after "Sanity is overrated"
"STFU" - is something they tell people on that other website. Here, we discuss. No matter what you base your vote on - it's not all about you - sorry to disappoint you. Some people actually reason through their voting decision.
Still, I wonder what did I miss that so many of you got THAT defensive.

[rucky]

32. I guess I'll get out of your car, now.

Curses! So close.

[alteredstate]

33. And they won't stop me from voting for Barack Obama. n/t

[itsrobert]

34. I agree! Hillarybots, Please Shut the Fuck Up

You're all hacks.

[tomreedtoon]

36. Well, the Florida Democratic Party stopped me.

They are simply a branch of the Florida Republican Party, and they killed all our delegates to the convention and the value of our primary. So, good luck to those of you who CAN vote for the candidate of your choice.

[Homer Wells]

37. Amen, ML n/t

[onehandle]

39. The Edwards Haters are out in force this week.

I don't bash any of our fine Democratic candidates.

Buck up. After Edwards wins Iowa, everything will change.

[MalloyLiberal]

40. The other one is still up on the top..so this one should be as well

You will not stop me you mf'ers!
