If John Edwards Endorses Hillary Clinton It will Be A Complete SELLOUT By Edwards!

[DaLittle Kitty]

Your Comments Are Invited......... Anyone care to deny that such a move by our Official Anti-Corporatism Candidate would be a sellout of monumental proportion, as Hillary Clinton is undeniably... The Queen of Corporatism?

Please Johnny Stand Strong... Do Not Cave! Stand on Principle! We can still trust in you TODAY... But NEVER again if you sacrifice our sacred trust in you demonstrated by our hard earned dollars contributed, and our steadfast personal support.

You will make US out to be the fools... Think hard before you do this... If you are even thinking of such a decision.

If Obama is not ready, is not capable and is holding baggage both known and unknown and of course Hillary has baggage as well... then just sit tight... Let THEM be the fools.. You will, by standing firmly behind your stated principles and beliefs, be the one that EVERYONE WILL EXCLAIM... "It Should Have Been Edwards... and WE WOULD HAVE WON!" "If ONLY... WE had chosen Edwards... WE WOULD HAVE WON!"

That is what YOU want the People to Say... That THEY were in fact the fools... Those who lacked the character, political maturity and foresight ... to see the light through the opacity of the thick media fog... those who did not support you now and before... but can only lament that they did not in the end... wishing that they did...

Let the vast throngs make their error and live with it... Do not compound the error by jumping in bed with those who thought that they listened but in reality... did not.

Go now Johnny... Think twice... You are young... just a few years older than this writer who has met you and trusted you... to do the Right and appropriate thing.

Play for US... WE trusted you to stay in it to the finish... You suspended your campaign and we were, and many of US ARE STILL WITH ... YOU! Stay with US now... Let history as you say play itself out...

If you stand aside and let the history makers manufactured as they are ... make their history you may well come out shining brightest of all in the end.

Best to you, Elizabeth and the kids!:) J@JRFCDC

1. Edwards will endorse the Democratic nominee. nt

[DaLittle Kitty]

2. Certainly As A Perfunctory Move... But Until That Is Decided and ALL The Wash Is Hung To Dry...

He can just sit tight... He owes these people and the DLC NOTHING! But he does have a responsibility to his supporters...

[katandmoon]

3. Gee...maybe, just maybe, if Edwards supports Clinton, it's because HE thinks it's the right thing

There is no universal US that moves as a mass unit. I find that one hell of a scary prospect.

I as a card-carrying Democrat voted for Hillary Clinton in my state's primary on Tuesday. If John Edwards (my original candidate of choice) supports her, I'll be pleased, but if he supports Obama, I won't loose any sleep over it. This US versus THEM attitude has a religious fervor to it that is unsettling to say the least.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Yikes - just the opposite - it he supports Hillary - I will think totally

differently. He will be a shill and not worthy of any further consideration, ever. Unless he repents and shows remorse for such a stupid, idiotic move.

[DemVet]

36. Your avatar explains your response. n/t

[cbayer]

4. Not this again.

Sorry, but haven't we been over this again and again.
He's a politician. He is playing the game.
Perhaps the fools were those that thought otherwise.
I think you should leave him alone.

[DJ13]

5. I agree, plus if she loses the nomination (or the GE) he risks forever.....

....having his convictions second guessed as being for sale if the price is right.

While Hillary needs his endorsement, Obama doesnt anymore.

He would be better off now just waiting until the nominee is decided before endorsing.

[Raine]

6. I hope Edwards will not endorse anyone

until it's been decided at the convention, then he supports whoever the nominee is.

[avaistheone1]

22. I agree. I am sick of all these endorsements

I am sick of people trying to tell me how to vote with THEIR endorsements.

Between our screwed up primary system, endorsements, and super delegates - it is difficult to have faith in our election system.

[MadBadger]

7. For the Record, Kitty hates Obama too.

[BlackVelvet04]

8. Oh the drama of it all.....

:eyes:

[hiaasenrocks]

I voted for him in SC and, frankly, I couldn't care less what he says.

He lied, big time, about a major aspect of his candidacy.

A huge part of my reason for supporting him was because he told me he would stay in the race and take the good fight all the way to the convention. That was when he was campaigning here, on January 25. Just a few days later, he bailed.

He can't be trusted and his opinion means nothing to me at this point, and never will.

[shimmergal]

41. Hey, he didn't end his campaign; he

"suspended" it. May make no difference, but if something BIG and unexpected happened, he'd be there to step back in. I don't read this as bailing. Though I too hope he doesn't endorse until the nominee is selected.

[DB1]

9. If he chooses Clinton over Obama, ,,yes, Clinton is corporate nafta zi

[SIMPLYB1980]

10. Bullshit.

[TankLV]

11. of course, if he endorses saint obama it will be just ducky, right?

feh...

[fadedrose]

12. He shouldn't endorse anyone.

I'm hoping he ends up as Vice President. If he has 1/4 the power Cheney has, he can do a lot for those he was fighting for.

An Obama/Edwards ticket would be hard-to-beat, geographically, philosophically and ethnically

I don't think he'd be a good veep for HRC. He might overshadow Bill at times and that bird won't fly.

[Tarc]

13. It'd be a telling criticism of Obama's substance-less campaign

Edwards' plans for true universal health care and such have a lot more in common with Clinton than with Obama. Some people around here love to yell "anti-corporatist!" so much that I don't think they really see a meaning behind it anymore, it has just become a brainless buzzword.

[FrenchieCat]

15. Yeah....it's the same health plan.....cause she stole it. Duh!

:rofl:

[Tarc]

17. Yea, she stole the health care plan from Edwards

that she was originally pushing 15 years ago. :eyes:

Be less dumb, please.

[hfojvt]

29. this is the same plan she had 15 years ago?

Then why wasn't it part of her campaign

from DAY ONE?

Apparently she wasn't quite ready to announce a plan when she began her campaign.

The same way she wasn't ready to announce an economic stimulus until a few weeks after Edwards.

If Hillary wins the nom, she better have Edwards for her VEEP so she'll have somebody to copy from, from Day One.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Who in the hell cares about the minutia? Yikes - we are talking

big picture here ! Hope and positive things about our future and more of the past bullshit - bush-shit - that we all have hated here.

Wake UP !!!!!!

[Seabiscuit]

27. So anything other than pure fluff is dismissed as "minutia" by Obamanoids these days?

That's about the lamest excuse I've heard so far for Obama's completely substance-less campaign of empty rhetorical oratory.

[Freddie Stubbs]

14. Consistency hasn't exactly been a hallmark of Edwards' 10 year political career

[JI7]

16. Hillary and Edwards are more similar to each other than to Obama

so it would make sense for him to support her over him.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. You are SO right. If he does, he's total history to me. !

[emilyg]

24. He'll be so crushed by your rejection.

[DaLittle Kitty]

26. CORRECT!

[Blue_In_AK]

21. Blah, blah, blah...

Give me a break. John Edwards can support whoever he wants to or not at all. Hillary Clinton is not evil, Obama is not God. I personally hope he doesn't publicly endorse either of them, but if he does, it's certainly not the end of the world, or the end of John Edwards as a good, decent person.

Oh, the drama.

[sam sarrha]

23. you're Bashing Edwards for something he hasn't done yet, an said he wouldn't, your agenda is showing...

he like the rest of us will support the party against the ReThugs.. not the candidate, the party.

i was interested in obama, but assholes like you turned me off.. i am sick of the spam.. and tactics like your's

[Adelante]

33. You are mistaken

The asshole is not an Obama supporter.

[paulk]

25. some good old fashioned pre-emptive trashing

from those hope and change folks at the Obama campaign!

Let's have a singalong!

[MadBadger]

28. You obviously dont know Kitty then. She hates Obama and Clinton.

[JI7]

30. the OP is an Obama hater who has even gone after his mother

[paulk]

38. I have to wonder why the mods let someone like that post here

if they're trashing all the nominees.

[TheDonkey]

31. Edwards will not endorse anyone because he is a _________________

[earth mom]

32. Let's give Edwards the benefit of the doubt. He was pressured already & is probably

being pressured now.

I don't like either H or O but unlike the majority of us who have the option to sit this one out or write a name in, Edwards MUST choose if he wants to be considered for VP or another position.

It sucks, and I bet he knows it as well as we do. I'd like to see him hold some sort of office, so cut Edwards some slack ya'll!!!

[my3boyz]

34. If anyone is pressuring him it is probably the

Clinton camp. I'm sure Obama would like to have Edwards' endorsement but I don't think he is hunting him down. I mean even the meeting they were supposed to have was postponed. If I were Edwards I would stay out of it. Then once there was a nominee I would step out and campaign. I think that is what Bill Richardson is doing. Sure he is definately a good friend to the Clintons but he stopped short of endorsing Hillary.

[Inspired]

35. What a strange beginning and ending to your post.

I'm sure it warms their heart.

I object to the use of the word WE in your OP. You don't speak for me.

If he endorses Clinton, I will have to take a good, long second look at her. I trust John to make the right decision. He has access to a lot more information on these candidates than we do.

I say this as someone who is hoping he endorses Obama.

[Enrique]

37. John Edwards was not the anti-corporatist candidate

he, Obama and Clinton are all about equally corporatist.

[Califooyah Operative]

39. Indeed.

She's the opposite of everything he represented in his campaign. If she backs him, as someone who supported and donated to him initially, I will be very dissapointed. You can't go from campaigning against corporate special interests, the status quo, and the war in Iraq to embracing it without selling out principles.

[bunnies]

40. He will have a much harder time given Obams recent union endorsements.

If he wanted to go w/ Clinton he should have done it before now.
