I am firmly in the Edwards camp as of 11/29/07

[greenbriar]

he can answer any question whenever asked


and speaks for me


I am the middle class and yes we do have trouble paying our bills, My sister is not even reaching middle class and she is struggling and I don't have enough to give her because I am keeping my head above water



Edwards GETS that

[saltpoint]

1. A warm welcome to you, greenbriar.

Some of us have wandered into the Edwards group from other candidate groups, and then there are some old-timer stalwarts here who can really show you the ropes.

I predict your choice in candidates is going to be the next U.S. president, and I predict the people you will hear from in this candidate group on DU will become valued pals.

Welcome!

[Catchawave]

2. Hi greenbriar !

Nice to see you over here :hi:

[saracat]

3. Welcome greenbriar!

Edards supporters are among the nicest on DU. I am so glad you found us and that you are supporting our wonderful guy!

[asdjrocky]

4. Welcome

I usually just wait for the old Caruso to speak and then I say Ditto.

So Ditto.

We welcome you!

I'm just a shameless show-off.

[Ninga]

5. Thanks greenbriar for your heartfelt support of Edwards...you are among friends.

:hi: :pals:

6. Yes, Edwards does indeed "get it"

I believe he is truly the only candidate running with the intelligence, ethics, morals, and strength to fix the problems our next President is going to have to deal with.

Hillary is up to her arse in donations from powerful lobbyist groups, corporations, and others who will expect something in return for their money. Isn't this more or less the basis for everything wrong in our country today? Corporate America wants what is best for Corporate America, and to hell with the American people. We must break the bond these entities have over our government.

Barack, in my opinion, is a hypocrite. And we've had enough of them in office lately, haven't we? I do not approve of Barack giving a platform to an anti-gay preacher. I expect a black man to understand this is wrong, and discriminatory. But it happened, and he hasn't apologized for it or taken steps to correct the problem. Which makes him unfit for the presidency.

I don't think any of the others truly stand a chance.

I believe Edwards is going to be the next President, and he will restore our rights, level the playing field for all, and Elizabeth will make a lovely First Lady the likes of which we haven't seen since Jackie Kennedy.

Welcome to the John Edwards Supporters Group! :hi:

7. That was wonderful Andy.

You should post that in GDP.

[Plucketeer]

8. Great summation Andy!

I supported Kerry last go-round, but the truth is, I wished - early on - that Edwards had been the candidate for Pres with Kerry for VP. Man, that would've been one HOT duo in office.

I've not been a fan of Obama even tho I have great respect and admiration for him. I DO hope JE will consider Obama as his runnin' mate. THAT would sum up a fine team. Thing is tho, I'll trust John's ultimate choice - whoever it turns out to be!

Go Goooooooooo Go Johnny Go! :kick: :dem:

14. "Hillary is up to her arse in donations from powerful lobbyist groups, corporations.."

I'm afraid you're mistaken.

She's up to her EYEBROWS with corporate $$$!

Everytime she opens her mouth, corporate shill pours out.

:hi:

9. I am too greenbriar!

[greenbriar]

10. thank you

I can not wait to start volunteering for him in Kansas

[saltpoint]

12. A liberal in Kansas. I love it.

All good steps on the volunteering, greenbriar.

And again, welcome.

[MzNov]

11. Not only does he answer any question, he answers exactly

what was asked of him. I really like that in a person, honesty! He's like a breath of fresh air and just ain't too hard on the eyes either. :-)

:bounce:

[waiting for hope]

13. Welcome greenbriar!

Sorry I'm late to congratulate you on your choice - happy to have you here! If you have some to to pull away from here, I think there is a place you will enjoy. Every night on Daily Kos there is a group of volunteers that put together what's called an EENR - Edwards Evening News Roundup and it will highlight what's been going on in the media, with the campaign and anything new being put out in policy and issues. It's a great group of people, all dedicated to getting Edwards message out. Here's the link to tonight's EENR: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/11/30/17944/797

Once again - Welcome! :toast:

15. Greenbriar, I hear you. I was recently laid off, and before that

was doing incredibly well. Nobody has to tell me what the issues are, I already know it's a war against the middle class and it's a war against wages and labor law. I'm voting for Edwards because I want to remain middle class.

The repubs can skew it and say it's all about illegal immigration or a flipping fence, we know that wouldn't be a problem, if not for the plantation owners, who don't mind importing or picking up stakes for the slave labor & profit they covet above all else. 'Tis so much easier to profit when one doesn't need to observe those silly labor laws abroad, or one can rely on people who are willing to do what lazy Americans are not over here. Yeah, only a fool believes that every man, woman and child will not do what it takes to survive. The REAL issues are human rights & labor rights.

I'll tell you how bad things are, because I know only too well just how many applicants are up for the same dwindling positions...the gov't has been lying about the numbers, no surprise right? I think we all knew that, but until you realize you may become another statistic, it's all just numbers...until you realize how benefits and pay are basically life sustaining, or the lack of which, may just be life threatening, it's all just numbers.

I only hope we can all withstand another year of GW's corporate chaos & wartime privilege...the war & its skyrocketing cost, Wall Street, the Enrons, globalization...the middle class is in it's last throes. China will be done with us when we can no longer say charge it, and for some of us, that day has arrived. I don't need to boycott China's shoddy, slave owner goods, I simply can no longer afford them.

I don't need a wake-up call, I've been living on the hope of what for me is a no-brainer, a man that can effect real change and bring back what once was the American dream.
Yeah, we won't hear about him much from our MSM either, the plantation owners didn't want the slaves to read, and Murdoch & MSM don't want any of us waking from our slumber...

I'm not going down without fighting for what matters, and what matters is getting a candidate to represent and to remember those who he is elected to represent...John Edwards is that man. I knew it from day one, when he told us all that his presidency would be for you and me, not the corporations who are ready to hand over blood money for influence.

What's taking the rest of them so long to figure it out?

:dilemma:

16. Hi, greenbriar!

Glad you're here. The more, the merrier! :hi:

It's wonderful seeing this growing support for John Edwards. :-)
