26. I'm not ready to support either one,
I already know Senator Clinton --only too well. I'd like to learn more on the lesser known candidate. Question-- Will the only Constitutional scholar in the race take a stand on retroactive immunity for the telecoms?
Will Obama filibuster the FISA Bill?
I honestly think he plays it politically safe, when it comes to the really important issues?
I find he uses a great deal of platitudes and double speak...
If he took a real stand on this I would seriously consider him!
http://www.correntewire.com/will_the_only_constitutional_scholar_in_the_race_take_a_stand_on_retroactive_immunity_for_the_telcos



Obama or Hillary supporters-did you get an e-mail like this???

If not, WHY?

39. I'm already proud of him!
:dem: Actually,I'm proud of both of them, That said, it doesn't mean there won't be questions and harder ones from the GOP.
I know darn well he has some stand on that issue, being the Constitutional Scholar that he is and I want to know his opinion!
With the FISA bill we have a great way to see him walk the walk!

43. How can I be proud of him if he doesn't oppose telecom immunity for warrantless spying?
Remember, if he supports his own party on this, in their quest to
make warrantless spying retroactively legal, it means he is saying
that as President, he will support the same actions Bush took with
regard to warrantless spying.

12. No. Not because of the media. But because
a) kucinich was an unelectable distraction

b) edwards' time was long long over and his campaign lurched from disaster to catastrophe

Why would you come into a thread about Edwards supporters missing him to make mean comments about him?

44. there are anti-progressive neolibs on DU who think the forgotten middle class make $100-250K
and other unreasonable, Giuliani-esque comments advocating for national citizen cards for all mentally fit adults and children, etc. I won't call them on it, however.

Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 09:57 PM by alyce douglas
Edwards is going to endorse, and who are his supporters going to support, you know, the media can take a flying leap. Do not tell me who to vote for, or who are you leaning to.

The media is a true accomplice to so many crimes.

21. this was an outing of a candidate, John hit alot of key issues.
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 10:08 PM by alyce douglas
and people were getting nervous, he was getting momentum, and his emergence was not part of scheme.

there are powers behind this who want to sway the votes away from John. Again we are being manipulated. And Dennis was marginalized too, anyone who touches a nerve is put on the sidelines.

32. I do, too
I'm still in mourning and have lost my enthusiasm for politics. Lesser of two evils as I see it is Hillary, but I really don't care for her. Obama makes me uneasy - there's something I don't trust about him.

I didn't watch tonight's debate. I knew it would be painful with Edwards missing from the stage. Beyond that, I just don't care anymore. Yes, I'll vote for the D, but without enthusiasm or hope. I also think the Rethugs will take the GE now, whether in actuality or with their normal electronic theft methods.

We miss you terribly, John and Elizabeth.

35. John Edwards forced Hillary and Obama to behave like grownups finally.
His class and focus on people issues, not petty issues are unequalled.

His platform and vision for American is unbeatable.

Yeah, I miss John Edwards too.
