A great victory was won today in the Primary Wars. Let us celebrate.

[Jackpine Radical]

The corporations won.
The oppressors of the downtrodden won.
The War Machine won.
The Empire Builders won.
The defenders of the Status Quo won.

Let us all go out and dance in the streets, dance around bonfires built of Edwards campaign materials.

1. Normally, I'd bring the gasoline

But at $3/gallon, I say we try matches and hope for favorable winds.

Which is my way of agreeing with you.

[rodeodance]

2. chuckle. yes i agree also. Now......??

[Birthmark]

6. Now?

I don't know about you, but now I lay very low. In a couple of months, no more message boards, no more politics, no more sarcastic humor. It's off to the woods with me and mine. I intend to be as uninvolved as I can possibly be and too far out in the middle of nowhere to be worth harassing.

I just have a hunch that things have to get worse in America, perhaps a LOT worse, before they get better. I'll have no part of it. When or if we go sane again, I'll be happy to participate again. But I've learned that the one thing that can't be forced upon people is sanity.

8. How I feel exactly today.

exactly.

[Birthmark]

10. There are surprisingly cheap ways...

...to go off the grid and more or less disappear. :)

[Blaze Diem]

26. yep. Leave the 'Ignore All' sign out for one year.

Until I find out that John Edwards has been offered a place of honorable service to his America.
AG..specifically. I want this man to correct the corruption of GWBush et.al.
None other will do it as well as John Edwards.

Don't really care which Dem gets the Presidency after today as long as they appoint Edwards for AG. and give him free reign and respect to undo the mess of Bush.

Edwards would be a powerful friend of the American people as a member of the Supreme Court, someday.

Not interested beyond this as to the 08 election year.

[rodeodance]

27. good luck to you and yours. Be safe.

[Birthmark]

29. Thanks. Same to you.

[Hydra]

3. "It is a great day for the empire!"

:puke:

[The Magistrate]

4. I Will Miss the Man, My Friend

I had been intending to vote for him next Tuesday.

I have always liked his 'two Americas' theme, and think he was saying things that need to be said about the domestic affairs of our country. He is absolutely right that entrenched profiteering interests will surrender nothing they are not forced to surrender by political force majeur, and that kind of clear thinking attracts me.

"I may not understand what you say, but I will defend to your death my right to deny it."

[avaistheone1]

9. Still vote for Edwards on Tuesday.

I plan too. Let the Democrats know we want a more progressive agenda than what they are offering.

[LittleClarkie]

22. When Clark dropped out, I still voted for him in my primary in 2004

It was largely symbolic, of course. My dad had just died and Clark was who he wanted, and I'd sort of liked him as well.

So it felt good to still vote for him.

[Yael]

24. Very well stated. Thank you. n/t

[TheDeathadder]

5. The Edwards Message Lives

The Edwards Movement Lives

The Edwards People are more Edwards than ever.

John Edwards isn't going away.

John Edwards will help the Democrats win the White House and House/Senate Seats.

John Edwards will continue to work towards saving America.

Thank you to the Edwards people for yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

7. I feel slightly desolate

Today
:graybox:

[Jackpine Radical]

11. Slightly desolate? Some of us would KILL

to get our emotional states all the way up to "slightly desolate."

[balantz]

16. Slightly desolate was a numbed understatement.

My new avatar shows my feelings more accurately, it used to be an Edwards avatar.

[redqueen]

12. Indeed. "Who's afraid of John Edwards?"

Is nader right? Will millions more need to PERSONALLY suffer, before we can begin to even dream of achieving real change?

[QC]

13. Let's not forget the corporate media.

This is an excellent day for them.

[Jackpine Radical]

15. Another scalp hanging on their lance...

and such a PRETTY one!

[Armstead]

14. The Dow will climb in celebration

"Now we don't have to worry about those damn workers or consumers or citizens as much."

[Norwood]

17. Corporate america stands tall!

[Nederland]

18. I guess some people can't handle Democracy

The people had multiple chances to vote for Edwards. They choose not to. End of story.

[Zorra]

19. Time to begin building a serious, non-violent resistance movement. We no longer

have any hope of restoring democracy in America through the political process.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

20. Sad and shocking. n/t

Edit to clarify: sad and shocking news.

[Donnachaidh]

21. it's now a two-way corporate flunkie race

America should hang it's head in SHAME.

[Yael]

23. And best of all, the M$M won

How dare we think that we should have a voice.

Bend over and take the chosen candidates like a man and all that.

[The River]

25. It's Times Like These

that I don't mind being old.
With the best of American Democracy behind us,
the future of "The Empire" doesn't concern me at all.

[roguevalley]

28. me too. i would hate to be young today.
