1. I find the Edwards supporters quite refreshing.

2. Viscous? I've always thought of myself as thin and watery rather than thick and sticky.

29. I was thinking that maybe it's the cold snap in the south making folks viscous.

Either that, or you're reading a different forum than I am.

4. I don't see them as being ruthless really, just pissed off.
I would be too if my candidate was completely ignored like their's is. And there really is no reason for it. John has been polling decent all along. He deserves equal time.

27. Very nice post
I wish I saw more posts like this from Obama supporters lately.

As an undecided for the last 6 months, I would have to say that the Kucinich supporters (as usual on DU) have been the best, but the Edwards supporters have not been far behind this time. For the most part, they have supported their candidate or discussed issues with little bashing of others. There have been exceptions of course.

It's been very interesting watching as an uncommitted rather than a die hard partisan (for Dean) as I was in 2004.

34. Most Obama supporters I have read and know of, support Edwards.
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 03:08 PM by Kittycat
Of course I could be completely ignoring some posters, and not know it, LOL. Seriously though - John is my 2nd choice, and would love nothing more than to see an Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama ticket.

8. Ehrm, perhaps you really meant to write 'vicious'? 'Viscous' means 'sticky'. Either way,...
... I don't see Edwards supporters as vicious or even 'sticky' (unless it's 'sticking with their man'!).

Unless, of course, this is a satirical post. Hmm.

14. Viscous? Who are you calling "sticky?"
If you don't cut it out, I might have to get viscious, and say something like, "Place a comma between the names of cities and states." Example: Dallas, Texas.

18. Is there an echo in here? Get your own ideas, why don't you?
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 03:00 PM by patrice
Again, using words like "vicious" when a critique is substantial and real just prooves that the whole Obama message is a lie. If you REALLY cared about what the man, Obama, is saying, you'd open with a question about what people's concerns are with your campaign, in order to find out if there's anything that can be repaired about the relationship.

The fact that you don't do that prooves that some people are excluded from the start, which is NOT what Obama is saying. Question: So WHO IS LYING here?

Answer: Not John Edwards. Edwards ALL of the Way!!

Well, we do tend to become thicker and flow less readily in the cold.

And the argument in that OP is ridiculous.

Obama and Clinton supporters can be vicious. I haven't seen any of that from Edwards supporters. Nice bunch, on the whole.

31. I admit to having episodes of no ruth whatsoever.
But I believe that is a defect of character and no reflection on John Edwards at all.

lol

32. Because we stick to our principles and don't just go with the flow:
viscous

adjective
1. having a relatively high resistance to flow
2. having the sticky properties of an adhesive

41. I see it the other way around.
Even when winning some of you Obama supporters get mean and nasty. Reminds me of high school or something.
