Elizabeth Edwards: "Republicans Scare Me"
December 15, 2007 7:43 PM

ABC News' Raelyn Johnson reports: Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic hopeful John Edwards, lamented with Iowa caucus goers about her fear of the Republican Party.

"Republicans should scare us in a lot of ways," Edwards said as she was introducing her husband at a town hall in Dubuque, Iowa.

Speaking about Republican candidate Mike Huckabee, who recently surged ahead in Iowa polls, Elizabeth noted, "He seems like a nice charming guy," before saying that Huckabee, "doesn’t believe in evolution and has some nutty views about what it is we should do about ending violence in our inner city — we should make sure all of our young people are armed. Republicans scare me."

She went on to warn about the larger party, saying, "Karl Rove may not be working in the White House anymore but you can pretty much be sure he’s going back in the presidential race... I believe he’s going to be back and he’s going be doing that same kind of Rovian politics that we’ve seen before — the kind of attacks that we saw against Sen. McCain in South Carolina we can expect to see against our nominee, 'swift boating,' all of that kind of stuff again."

1. Well Elizebeth if its any consolation they scare the piss out of me too

[saltpoint]

3. Agree. I spend most of the daylight hours hiding under the bed with my

teddy-bear, "FDR."

Some Republicans are more scary than others. But they're all really scary.

8. Red Rover will certainly be doing the vote stealing thing again.

[Hepburn]

9. Mike Huckabee seems like such a swell guy....

...and then when one actually listens to the shit coming out of his mouth, one starts looking for the men in the white jackets with the little butterfly nets. IMO, Huckabee scares me shitless....and McCain sends my fingernail biting off the charts. Then there is Ghouliani and the Mitzer....OMG! Looking at the Repiggies running this year is like watching a very bad version of "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest."

10. I need to send Elizabeth my beloved refrigerator magnet! (pic)

[Hepburn]

11. Where in the world did you get that?

I would LOVE to have one of those! :hi:

[Lex]

12. I've had it for about 10 years and I honestly

cannot remember where I got it!

[Hepburn]

20. Well, whoever made that and wherever you got that...

...it is EXACTLY right on!

13. Craven Religious Extremists

They should scare people, but not to the point where people do nothing. I'm figuratively spooked by them, but will never be scared of them literally. In fact, I see them just as I do any nut case. Some get help, they instead embrace it, and decide it's the World around them that is wrong.

14. Thanks for saying it, Elizabeth

You're absolutely right.

[FrenchieCat]

15. If the GOP scares her, Elizabeth should have a talk with her husband

who is planning on putting some of those scary Republicans in his cabinet!

John Edwards vowed Monday to include Republicans in his Cabinet if he's elected president.
Here's why: "Because I'm looking for the strongest, most capable, most independent-minded people I can find.

16. I guess you have the same advice for Hillary? Bill appointed Repubs in his Admin. n/t

[treestar]

17. They scare me too

and the 25% who still support them scare me even more

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. Huckabee is the scariest Repub in the race

with his smiling face and his lying lips. It is obvious from the start what Guliani and Romney are, but Huckabee is far more insidious.

[Perry Logan]

19. They're just...too stupid to be really scary. And too gay.

[libnnc]

21. Well as a lesbian they scare the hell out of me.

Their political power has an impact on my everyday life.

Your snark is really outdated.

[Usrename]

22. Be afraid.

:scared:

Be very afraid.
