I Have to say it....about the debate...

[1corona4u]

I'm proud of John Edwards for standing up to Obama on the vote issue!!!! He did the right thing by opeining up that can of worms...Obama was rattled...

3. I agree.. he has been getting a free ride for awhile now nt

[keep_it_real]

4. But like Obama said Illinois has a different system

Obama said he had technical issues with the bills he voted presence on. That has a cheap shot on Edwards part, very cheap.

5. Bullshit.....

he got caught off guard. That was a bullshit excuse and well know it. Trust me, that remark will come back to haunt him.

12. do you follow the state politics of illinois?

i do since i live here. it`s a common practice to block bills.. it`s not bullshit

[oviedodem]

8. What exactly is wrong

with realizing that there was a mistake and it needs to be corrected!!!!

[Politicub]

9. "Technical difficulties" - Obama's new campaign slogan

nice excuse. :eyes:

[madrchsod]

10. the present votes in illinois are part of the game

that is played here everyday in the state capital of illinois. reality is sometimes hard to accept

[1corona4u]

14. Well then, settle for it in Illinois...

but I find it troubling. If he were in my state, I wouldn't make excuses for it. Still though, there are those troublng no-show votes in the US senate...and we all know what those excuses are....

Oh, and by the way. I lived in Illinois for 12 years.

17. i screwed up i thought it was state votes i guess it was senate votes

so you escaped the great state of illinois...no such luck for me..stuck in the hometown of ronny reagan

6. Yes.!

7. Edwards missed 311 of 2019 votes

He has no room to talk about voting records. Shame on Obama for not knowing that and pointing it out.

11. Hmmm, a double bluff?

[GreenArrow]

13. yep. "Senator Gone" was the appropriate response.

Edwards, first in line with smug sanctimony and hypocrisy, as usual.

[1corona4u]

15. He missed....

key. Not 'voted present'. And I'm not defending John. He clearly stated that one of three things happened....are you paying attention to the debate?

[1corona4u]

16. Oh, and by the way....

that's average, relative to peers.
