I support John Edwards....
I have been reading these responses tonight and I just cant believe the venum being spewed. Dean is not the almighty. If he makes those sort of comments, without clarity, he's going to have to deal with the responses. Edwards is responsible with the language he uses, and he has been fighting hard against this Administration and for our Democratic Values.....

1. People treat this like a goddamn high school popularity contest . . .
Edwards and Dean both deserve and get my respect.

I don't always agree with either one, but then again, I don't have to.

23. Hopefully both Dean and Edwards are listening to each other
We need this debate to get us to the right path. Dean is not God, nor is Edwards. It is with these debate we can get somewhere.

3. Don't try to divide
us..we've already settled that it's the media that is trapping Dems.

I like Dean and Edwards..both are working hard for us.

17. --you're right, and ya can't bring up JT without thinking of
Carolina in my mind, which was the state that had the good sense to send JOHN EDWARDS to the Senate!

Who needs Kevin Bacon when we have such a tight, organized world right here?!

8. I support John Edwards too...
And I will not sit by while he is unfairly ripped to shreds. I also support Howard Dean in his role as Chair of the DNC.

It's not an either or situation. Those of you who are trying to make it one, spew your venom, and choose to villify anyone who disagrees with Dean. You are not helping. When you do this, you are no better than the Chimp when he says "You're either with us, or against us".

It's the same bullshit rhetoric. With that attitude, you only drive people away from the party and our mutual cause.

13. Agree. If an informed voter looked at both those guys and could not --
-- find immutable truths worth defending and respecting, then I'd say that voter was a total dumbass.

From W. H. Auden:

"In the prison of his days
Teach the free man how to praise."

John and Elizabeth are role models for any American and Dr. Dean is doing a great job.

"Re:Not judging, just alarmed.
by GreatCause on 2005-06-05 23:17:30

Well, I visit all these blogs... but frankly what alarms me the most is DU. They have some of the most caustic discussions there. I just had to say that.

I don't think its "conflict" that the blogs generate, as much as they engage people interested in and passionate about a given topic (in this case politics) in a discussion. Usually, the level of discourse is not as heated as it is today around the entire blogosphere... give it a day or two, and everyone will settle down to their usual temperament. And then, you'll be a little less alarmed and a lot more pleased :)"

We really dont want to be looked upon as extremists, do we?

28. i like edwards too. i think he did one helluva job running vp
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 12:22 AM by seabeyond
way too much is being made of this. i am not reading the posts people on this site is spewing on edwards. that is a shame. edwards commit was not NOT that big of a deal. i think reid handled it better. but then he watched a whole day what media? (i dont watch news) was doing with edwards and bidens comments. there is no way they could have known, but they will next time, hopefully
