1. "I don't share that view" means he doesn't consider homosexual acts immoral. NT

4. I think his answer was fine. It's just that rumor had it earlier that he said "no"
I liked his answer, but just the same, he skirted the question, too...and as he should have.

8. There is no spin
Your comment is weak.

12. My comment was original
I won't kneel at Sen. Clinton's altar. So far, I'm not interested in spending my vote her way. Good luck working her campaign.

14. Just as I thought. You made a comment you can't back up
so instead you continue to whine and try to change the subject of the thread. Beautiful.

16. I guess you've got nothing to do tonight, huh?
C'mere - put your ear close to the screen:

Edwards' words speak for themselves. He clearly disagreed with the General's position. I know you're trying hard to spin it another way. Sure, Clinton and Obama wimped out. But news cycles fly past quickly. All will be okay again soon. Next week will serve up a new controversy. Many people will forget today.

Please take the last word if you wish. The dishwasher needs emptying. I'm done with your thread.

17. Actually I've got better things to do than waste time with the likes of you
especially when you have no clue why this thread was posted.

1. Someone claimed Edwards just said "no"
2. The rumor caught fire
3. Someone dispelled that and said Edwards didn't actually just say "no"
4. This thread was posted so it could be right in the title.
5. You obviously can't stand it that Hillary isn't much worse than anyone else...that she's not the only one who didn't just say "no". That's why you're here pouting.
6. Run along now...

9. Just as Bush can do no wrong to the corporatist Republicans
Hillary can't do no wrong to the corporatist Democrats.

She sure loves that LGBT money, as long as we sit quietly in the back of the Hillary bus.

10. This thread is about what really happened, as opposed to what did not happen
It was spread all across this forum that Edwards answered "no" when asked the same question. It's only fair to set things straight. I have no beef with Edwards about it.

Why am I not surprised that you hold such disdain for the truth.

But thanks for doing what you do best...turn the truth of the matter into an attack on me by calling me a corporatist Democrat. Oooooh, my feelings are hurt.

2. Well he should say no!
Ya know, being a 'faggot' and all. It's incredible how mealy mouthed our Democratic presidential contenders can be, on a variety of topics. Hillary, of course has been condemned for her fence straddling, but it doesn't look to me that the rest of them are much better.

7. I think you are being too harsh. They are being considerate to their closeted republican associates
who have double standards

Why is it that when republicans come out and denouce gays, and later down the road those same republicans turn out to be gay, no one seems to blink an eye over the hypocricy, yet when a "politician" gives a non-answer everyone seems so bent out of shape?

I don't like politicians in general, but I just find this observation interesting

13. When it comes to condemnation of hypocritical gay republics
nobody can outdo me (when I'm not ROFLMAO). However, I still expect a higher standard out of our candidates. And it isn't a deal breaker for me - I'll still vote for the Dem candidate regardless of whether or not they condemn Pace's dumbass remark. I'd just like to have a higher opinion of them.

5. OKAY... JUST STOP! STOP NOW... How Much Glee Do You Take In
doing this each and every time you do this?? I'm just making this statement, I will NOT reply to your response because I have seen your comments about Edwards and how despicable you feel he is each and every time something like this surfaces.

YOU don't like him, you think he's an ASS, I GOT the message and many many others here have gotten it too! I actually stopped blogging here for this reason. WHY??

I'm no Hillary fan, however... I don't "bottom feed" this way and find it offensive. But then again, "freedom of speech" is something we feel is important.

On second thought.... GO RIGHT AHEAD! I'm opting out, I need to get ready to go to D.C. for THE MARCH!!

15. WTF are you screaming about. You got the wrong poster. I don't hate Edwards at all
There isn't a single one of our candidates I dislike. Then again, that doesn't mean I'm gonna kiss Edwards ass just because you're going to throw hissy fits all the time.

Wow, talk about a bag of wind...
