[waiting for hope]

Kick and Rec!

[saracat]

2. Beautiful! JRE MUST win. We need this man!

[Triana]

3. K & R for President Edwards (n/t)

[Stump]

4. I've made my mind up....

I hope & pray John Edwards is our next President. K&R

[bobbolink]

6. Welcome, Stump!

He's a good man.

He's really going strong on corruption now.

:toast: :bounce: :toast:

8. And The Support Keeps Growing... Giving This Man A National Forum

to get his message out, money may NOT be what he needs! He only needs the OPPORTUNITY to "speak" to the American people!

If they do, they will follow! And he will win them over. Glad to have you and please help us let America HEAR him!

5. I join the others here in supporting John.

I always mention that of course I'll vote for whoever the Dem nominee is, but please, God--let it be John!

7. that's the moral test of our generation

What? morality means doing the right thing? To listen to the right wingers, you would think it was poking your nose into other people's bedrooms, while sneaking around doing worse things and lying about it!

[McCamy Taylor]

9. I like the audio and the message, but I think the visuals could be improved.

I posted this over at YouTube, too. I would try the same thing in shirt sleeves, with Edwards head turned slightly to the side as if he is talking to someone and not to the camera, with an out of focus blue sky and a hint of trees behind his head. Maybe some very faint ambient sounds in the background.

This one looks like he is in a law library doing a TV ad or making a job resume/interview video.

If you are making a populist message, you should look like a man of the people. Save the suit, tie and aggressive in your face posture for when he is talking about national defense.

[LaPera]

10. Man, We must support Edwards or get stuck with another moderate nominee

and very little will change and at a snails pace....Edwards - the progressive word MUST be spread to everyone. John Edwards will be a great president and is why the regressive greedy republicans are truly fearful and want the two front runners to be chosen & doing all they can to make it happen, donations, polls and their media...they will beat in close race that should not be a close by any means.

[TAGGLINES]

11. Bottom Line...Get Out And Vote...

:bounce:

We're so verbose, but...when push comes to shove, will we do the right thing?? I pray we do. This guy is a keeper.

Rock On John...and screw the torpedoes

[navarth]

12. Nice one

Is this a TV ad? It would be effective, I think.

[antigop]

13. Great ad, John! kudos. n/t

[AzDar]

14. Awesome.

:loveya:

[Hulk]

15. He's the man.....if Kucinich can't win.

I plan to send in a donation to Edwards once these primaries are over and done. He'll need money all the way up the line, and I don't have much.

His sincerity have me in his camp. I just hope he's not taking me for a ride.

I sent in $50 to MoveOn when they were being attacked for their ad, and I plan to do the same for John Edwards. He's a man of conviction, and unlike Kucinich, his ambitions are probably close enough aligned with the American citizens that he could really get something done.

I admire Kucinich, and I wish this country was ready for his ambitious and honest ideas, but I don't think he could pull it off...not with the ignorance and resistance from corporations and the repug machine in this land. Maybe VP??

16. If you expect the narcissistic boomers to care about anyone else but themselves

Your going to be very dissapointed

[huskerlaw]

17. Well shit.

I guess I'll just give up then. :shrug:


:wtf:

[sasquatch]

18. You're not old enough to be a boomer

[huskerlaw]

19. And your point is...what exactly?

If, as you say, the boomers aren't going to step up to the plate, then aren't you telling me to give up?

BTW, the same is said about my generation, so again...what, exactly, is the purpose of your post?

[sasquatch]

20. I'm just a little more pessimistic about the boomers than you are

They might step up, they might not. I predict they'll either not step up or cancel each other out.

[SeattleGirl]

21. And I predict that you are absolutely wrong.

Damn, but I hate this shit about the boomers and how we don't do anything, we haven't done anything, blah blah blah.

First off, not every baby boomer is the same. The boomer generation covers 1946 to 1964; that's a long period of time. Second, and even more important, it just pisses me off when someone paints an entire group of people with the same brush. Would you make a blanket statement about all blacks? All Jews? All Hispanics? Probably not. Yet you don't seen to have any problem doing that about an entire generation.

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[Apollo11]

22. No. The moral test of our generation is saving the planet.

If having a better life means living in a big mansion like John Edwards, then the planet will pay the price.
