apologizing for your vote on the Iraq War....

We get it...

You are beginning to sound like the guy who fucked up his first date with the prom queen and so is over compensating for fucking up his shot at the big time...

Come on, buck up and move on...

1. Are you talking about
John Kerry?

Or John Edwards?

I obviously haven't been paying attention!

I suspect it's Edwards......he's more the type to apologize, methinks...

:hi:

3. Ah man, I hate to say this...
knowing he has his supporters as do the other candidates. It's hard to believe I'm still listening and learning. That said, John's sounding a little, well...desperate. And it's sad because he probably has one of the best outlined plans but he's just not getting much more than "and running in third place" from the press. :(

There are things I like about most all of them, and then there are things about them that are beginning to just bug me.

6. He does have the best plan and I think he would make a fine
president, but he is not doing any favors by persevering on his unfortunate vote....

12. Personally, I think the Cons are more afraid of him than any other candidate
in terms of his plans and vision. The real problem is that they've been able to get away with pinning him on such stupid stuff as 'the $400 haircut'. Geez, if I had a trusted stylist and was making an important TV appearance I'd fly the guy/gal in, too! But, they don't mention the total cost of "the haircut" included more than just a couple of snips and a blowdryer. It would be so easy to tag the rest of the field with 'frivilous expenses', but Edwards is taking the hit in the media...and then he comes out and apologizes. :banghead:

Stop apologizing, John! Stop letting them make you seem to feel guilty for BEING SUCCESSFUL, for fuck's sake! Believe me, us working poor folks understand how things work more than they would like to believe.

5. Because if it's annoying to me...
And I like the guy, I am sure it is more than annoying to people out there beyond the comfy confines of DU...

11. it's not about getting her to apologize, it's to try to show voters that he is anti war
unlike Hillary and hopefully get people who are so far mostly supporting Hillary to vote for him instead.
