John Edwards (what else)

[Omaha Steve]

I've been trying for hours to put things into words. Remember Marta and I were very very big on Edwards. I can still be seen in his "Just Say No" video on Youtube. He could have saved us lots of time and $. It is over. He will never be more than a former candidate. To bad. This hurts.

1. It does hurt when a candidate lets you down. ..n/t

2. The guy who was filling in for Rachel tonight (David Bender - he's good),

and also a guest that Cenk/The Young Turks had on, don't agree with you.

They both feel he has plans for a political future, and that this is only really relevant right now. So we'll see. :shrug:

I'm very sorry -- and I mean that with all my heart. :hug:

3. My condolences. It sucks when a hero loses it.

You deserved better.

6. Heroes are human.

I feel badly for the family. They're the ones dealing with true pain.

7. Perhaps the real answer to the question lies in Brecht

In his play "Galileo", one character says to Galileo(as he's about to be repressed by the Church for his discovery)

"Woe be the land that has no heroes".

To which Galileo responds:

"Woe be the land that NEEDS heroes".

4. I'm there

When Bill R. dropped out, I put what I could afford towards John.

:cry:

But he is just human. I don't excuse him, but sometimes life, pressure, and a hard on can just make you do stupid things.

5. I'm sorry. I never supported Edwards (I went straight from Clinton to Obama).. but I feel for you.

I think he's still a good man... he just made a very poor decision as a husband.

People make mistakes.. it's just sad when he let down so many people.

He's human. Selfish. We all are. Some just make better decisions than others in moments of weakness.

8. True that....

True, J.E. let us down. So did Elliott Spitzer. But I think this is the start of SwiftBoating. Rove is up to his old tricks.. got his fingerprints all over it.

10. I was an Edwards fan until I heard about his $400 haircut. When I have

to scrimp and save, until next month, to get a $50 permanent at Wal-Mart.

12. He did not "just" make "a very poor decision as a husband."

When asked to tell the truth, he lied. And we, his supporters, trusted him and believed his lies, repeated them and defended him. It was very wrong of him and Elizabeth to continue his campaign based on lies.

9. I know how you feel, Steve.

It is very upsetting to many of us. I'm also in one of the videos. The 'We the People' Iowa version.

I still have very good memories of the time I spent on his campaign. I don't regret a minute.

11. Note to Elizabeth

This is not the first time, only time, or last time that your husband has cheated on you. This is the first time he got caught. Wake up, woman!
