3. And this guy should stop judging other people |
|
He's not part of that family. Only they know what is best for themselves.

6. He is an asshole - saw him on Bill Maher Friday night. |
|
Passing judgment; insisting the Edwards' are better off at home. Mr. Smerconish doesn't get that sometimes when faced with severe adversity, the best thing one can do is continue what they've always done and have hope for the future.

20. About his appearance on real time |
|
I couldn't believe how weak he was, everytime he opened his mouth he was abruptly put in his place. When he mentioned the Edwards dropping out, Bill Mahar shut him up quick with "Cheney's been dying for the last 15 years, nobody told him to drop out!" (not the exact words but you get the idea). There was a comedian sitting next to him who had a comeback for everything Smerconish (sp?) said. He looked pretty lost, thats what happpens if wingnuts aren't on their own turf with their idiot followers listening.

9. It's NOT YOUR FAMILY, Smerconish! It's NOT YOUR CALL, Smerconish! |
|
Every family has its own decisions to make about what is best for THEM.
They know themselves a helluva lot better than you do.

11. Ah, classic right wing family values. |
|
It's fine to criticize other families, especially those that don't follow your beliefs, but God forbid anyone takes a poke at yours.
I'm not sure what this guy's family is like. Still, inoffensive, non-harmful family decisions are no one's business but that particular family.

12. John and Elizabeth Edwards |
|
need to do what they feel is right, and that's exactly what they're doing. If you don't like it, fine, but it is THEIR decision, not yours. End of story.

with my mother, I know that Stage 4 means that with agressive treatment, Elizabeth has a 20% chance of surviving 5 years. TWENTY PERCENT! I understand that she wants him to continue to run, and I would never tell someone what to do, but once she starts treatment, I doubt she'll be able to travel with him. If that's the case, I wonder if he will continue his campaign.

14. Of course they would like Edwards to drop out, he's still a threat. |
|
Lots of people in this country, even in this party, are NOT ready to vote for a woman or a black candidate for President. That leaves them Edwards right now, because he has enough $.
I'm not saying this to illicit flaming, but just stating a truth some won't talk about.
Sure this Smerconish & lots of other Repukes would LOVE to see John drop out of the race. The Edwards have already be likened to JFK's family. That's scary for them to contemplate. I expect the Edward's will be maligned extensively for the duration of the run.
Just because they have younger children doesn't mean they must live the American cookie-cutter lifestyle. I know of families who live on boats & travel the world. What's the difference? Both situations offer the kids a wonderful opportunity have experiences few could hope for in a lifetime.
This is not the '50's. Life is broader now. We should all be so lucky.

...Is Michael Smerconish...And who the hell would care if he 'prayed' for Elizabeth Edwards? Elizabeth Edwards, and only Elizabeth Edwards, can make the decisions about what is best for her children.

19. Follow these instructions |
|
1. STFU. Not your family. You are not qualified to judge. 2. STFU. You don't even have a family as a reference point. 3. STFU. You don't want to be judged if you ever come down with AIDS.

21. So glad he understands better than their parents what's best |
|
for them.
Wonder how he'd like a public conversation on his parenting choices? (Don't even know if he is a parent...)

The name says it all.
on edit: I realize I misspelled SMER
on edit II: Amazing his sympathy for Edwards' young children doesn't extend to the families of soldiers in Iraq
