A few little comments from Howard Dean and that HRC bill gets catapulted to the front

[Snotcicles]

of the soup line. Just sayin.

1. The schedule had to do with the holidays, not the doctor. nt

6. Exactly

They wanted to get home for the holidays, public interests be damned.

2. "hurry up and pass it before he talks again and ruins it!"

[Snotcicles]

3. I wish he had uttered "scrap it" when the public option fell off the table. nt

4. Makes me think he knew what he was

doing? Lieberman backed off of medicare for more when the left was happy and suddenly Dean is pushing back against the current bill - hard. I dunno ... food for thought. ;)

5. John Edwards had the whole lot of them pegged when he said you gotta fight them. You see where

that got him. And that was after that jerk from chamber pledged to spend 60 mil to smear him.

7. I supported Edwards b/c he had the most progressive platform

but, I'm glad in retrospect he did not win the nomination. This of course, due to his personal shenanigans. ;)

[Snotcicles]

8. Yeah, but remember how lame the other candidates were on health-care before he dropped out. nt

[Kitsune]

9. Personally, I'd still rather have him.

Monogamy is not the default human condition. People fuck up all the time. Just because he's a politician doesn't somehow make it ten thousand times worse. The only time it matters, as far as I'm concerned, is if the person involved is a hypocrite. Which is why I laugh myself silly when it happens to all the holier-than-thou Republicans.

10. I'm still pissed at him. Big Time! His lack of restraint showed his lack of commitment. nt

[mzmolly]

11. Not me.

I no longer trust him. Not to mention, he'd have lost the election.

[Kitsune]

12. I dunno, I think we could have run a ham sandwich last year and won.

Granted, Edwards would probably have screwed us over just as bad once he got into office. The wealthy interests wouldn't allow anyone into office they didn't already own lock, stock, and barrel.
