13. So here's what you do if you don't like a thread title
You can bypass it! No really! You do that by simply not clicking on the thread's title.

If you make a mistake and click on a thread by accident, you can always back out of it easily! Simply hit the back button on our browser...it really works! You don't have to reply, or even read it.

34. Wow, you can do that? I thought you had to read every thread, and in ORDER
Or you would get tombstoned!

These internetubes rules are confusing... ;)


At least Edwards folks are doing something POSITIVE for their candidate.
Gotta give'em that.

24. It's kind of sad to see so many DUers giving over their hard-earned money to a phony -
I wish someone would start a thread along the lines of "Friends Don't Let Friends Get Conned" and beg them to reconsider (I don't think I'd be the best person to do that.) It particularly steams me as Edwards himself is worth about 55 million dollars, and as far as I've seen, hasn't kicked any of his own money into his campaign.

30. It is a one day blitz and it isn't only Edwards supporters who are contributing
The statement we are making is that we as a party are tired of the MSM choosing our candidates for us.

35. Except the corporate media let Edwards debate so how
threatening is he to the status quo?

Privatization of Iraq's Oil...crickets.

Not for profit heath care, not for that.

Accountability from this administration, not for that either.


Chuck Todd from MSNBC sent a letter to Kucinich saying they were changing the rules and would not allow him to participate in the debate after they had told him he met the criteria.

Then he praised Edwards on TV after the debate???


So exactly how threatening is he?


:think:

36. WE THE PEOPLE are supporting Edwards with this one day drive.
WE THE PEOPLE! Get it?

Not big corporate donors. Not lobbyists. And not John Edwards' personal funds like Mitt is doing.

One would think that would not be attacked here.

47. damn
We should have just gone to the professional corporate fund raisers to raise money from the big players for us. What were we thinking? Of course we would have to change the message of the campaign a little to meet the needs of the big donors. But, hey! Let's be realistic here people! So long as we win. We don't want to be losers.
