Edwards: "...No more secret prisons, no more illegal spying on the American people..."

1. Edwards is our best hope in '08.

3. I'd like either Edwards or Kucinich based on ...

their willingness to confront corporate and
entrenched political power. I know that both men recognize
how corrupt---morally, economically, politically--our
alleged democratic government is.

In my view it is going to take far more than HRC in office
to change America's direction. We already see what an HRC
presidency would be like in the way Pelosi and Reid are
operating.

I personally believe that things domestically will have to
get a l.o.t. worse before mainstream, uninvolved Americans
will wake up.

Those who come to this site know already that we live in
a country that is anti-working man, anti family, anti anything
other than corporate profit, privatization of our national
infrastructure, and corporate power. Unfortunately, we have
few vocal advocates beyond Edwards and Kucinich, and watch:
MSM will continue to attack these individuals, as will the HRC
machine.

2. Good for Edwards

We need to keep up this kind of talk. Remind people constantly of how this Nation and it's people are being abused.

6. Didn't Congress do something about the "illegal" thing recently? n/t

[Senator]

7. I'm Sure The Victims Will Be Glad To Know That They're Pencilled In For Jan. '09

Failure to impeach is complicity -- approval -- exoneration for the regime.

Edwards could open a mouth. He chooses not to do so.

8. Edwards and Kucinich are the ONLY hope for REAL CHANGE.

Our time is running out to change the self destructive direction of this country and the stop the the cataclysmic extinction of this world.

9. Considering Edwards is saying all the right things a Loyal American would want to hear

I am surprised (but not as surprised as I would have been before reading "I Will Bear Witness" by Victor Klemperer) he is not gaining more traction.

Hopefully, soon it will begin to show effect.

[Senator]

10. He's not saying Impeachment

No action, no traction.

14. Point taken. Can't argue with that...

[struggle4progress]

15. He's neither in nor running for a House seat, and impeachment would be moot when he gained office

So why should he discuss it? It's irrelevant to the Presidential race

11. Edwards has shown how to get a message out first.

I heard him talking about a "green-collar" working class. Jobs for Americans in sustainable energy and development. He is often the first of the dems to hit back at the bushies, and I think Elizabeth is as good on the trail as John.

12. Why didn't he think of this when he worked on the Patriot Act?

Given enough time he comes around to the right conclusion. I don't trust him to make the correct choice when first confronted with a problem. He lacks leadership and judgment.

13. good stuff
