Edwards supporters, please do not post any of your fears or negative stuff.It allows the opposition
to jump right on board. Don't give the "haters" an option! See post below :

1. Amazing, isn't it?? These people are coming from nowhere!

32 posts.... hmmmmm.

So far I think the Edwards supporters are the nicest, smartest and most courteous. :-)

I don't know why I bother, but I've been trying to say good things about Hillary today. There is no reason to do otherwise.

Thanks for all you do saracat!! :bounce:

:hug:

2. Thank you Ms.November. I have been nice about Hillary as well.There is enough to attack
her on without going "sexist". I can't stand when any campaign uses the gender or the race card .And that applies even when it is positive.But JMHO.

3. At least Hillary hasn't been drinking when things just get too much.

Like that Assclown, butthead John Bauner? Boner? the Minority Leader. Nobody went into tirades when he was sobbing crocodile tears, as well as old Pappy Bush, and wasn't there somebody else on the Puke side? Plaaaeeeeeese.

:hi:

4. thanks saracat
Everyone should keep in mind that we always have an "out" from the bitter fighting. Unlike supporters of the other candidates, we have a strong and coherent message we can talk about. We don't need to get into the personality wars, the smears, or any of the rest of that nonsense.

I think that most of the people attacking Edwards are actually opposed to his message but they don't dare come out and say that. Opposition to the message Edwards is delivering is opposition to everything the Democratic party stands for, and everything that has brought the party success in the past. We have and we will control the moral high ground.

5. Hit and Run ?
OP's been here 2 days ? (At least my first idiotic post came about 3 months after I registered...LOL)

No comments in thread ? (could be newbie nerves, but figured out how to get that Edwards avatar and journal with entries! ?)

A donor star should be required for a journal.

3 red flags, whew, those are rare. Thank goodness.

6. Well said, Saracat.
And might I add, we should ignore the naysayers who show up in every positive Edwards thread. I've seen a couple of really great threads get derailed when the focus shifted from the OP to the rebuttal of some nonsense.

7. It's vicious in GDP
What I mean is, even more vicious that usual. I try to be very selective about threads I respond to.

I don't get what a supposed Edwards supporter was thinking by posting that.

I stuck up for Hillary too. I watched the "cry" video and honestly stated I didn't get what all the fuss was about. I hate posters acting like sharks.

8. i don't like hillary but ...
after seeing the last debate, and after seeing obama's deer-in-the-headlights look during the debate & his lackluster performance, hillary moved up into my second place.

it seems like the hillary supporters have cut down their shrillness, but the obama supporter have ramped it up ... the gloating, the claims of racism if you support another candidate ... behavior that just seems way over the top to me. i have a lot of obama & hillary supporters on ignore & the calm & rational ones i can still see their messages.

9. that's why we NEED this group! This forum is a safe place to vent, and reach out for
supportive hugs when it looks less than hopeful.

We can't make ourselves vulnerable to those who would kick us when we're down, but surely we can be honest here, and collect some hugs!
