Bill Maher just endorsed John Edwards. Good if you like Maher,

[babylonsister]

and I do - - usually. :evilgrin:

[durrrty libby]

1. Yes good for pot smokers. Edwards will now be at 2 hahaha

[monktonman]

2. Did you read your sig line today? n/t

[durrrty libby]

6. No

[movonne]

4. Gee if he could only get all the pot smokers..he would win big....

[durrrty libby]

10. I don't think so. My circle works, studies, volunteers and tries to make life better

[Eurobabe]

36. Watching now, being shallow, Edwards is very good looking

for 54 years old!!

[zulchzulu]

3. What did he say?

Was it a clear endorsement? I missed it.

[babylonsister]

8. He pretty much came out and said Edwards makes the most sense.

Questioned Mr. Edwards on the global warming issue, which has gotten so much worse even since Gore's movie.

I'm sure there will be a video.

[Yael]

35. Video is up:

5. I'm enjoying this interview very much!

Hi SIS!!! :hug: :hi:

[babylonsister]

12. WOW! Long time, no see!

How ARE you, and did you see the 9/11 disruptors? Shocker for this program.

I "love" Sheila Jackson Lee, too, though Bill had to make a snide comment about her.
:pals: to you!

[Sydnie]

13. I am enjoying her so much

Bill needed to dump on someone since his audience were bad boys and girls tonight and he won't dump on Matthews.

I'm good ... busy - new job keeping me hopping more than I thought it would, but I try to drop in whenever I can.

Can't resist a Maher thread if it's a new show and I can actually watch it live.

Hope things are great with you and yours too! :)

[babylonsister]

14. I'm good, but after hearing SJL, I'm annoyed.

:grr:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

7. I liked the O'Reilly clip of Maher on Billo's show.

MKJ

[Fovea]

9. quite surprizing

Bill, last I heard was a libertarian.
OTOH, he seems to live in reality.

[mth44sc]

11. I can't imagine

why this would shock anyone...

[LWolf]

15. I was watching.

I thought Edwards did very well, and Maher managed to give him a plug without a formal endorsement.

[pmorlan1]

28. Edwards in '08

I agree with you. He did do a good job and having Maher almost formally endorse him was great. You could tell that Maher really likes him.

[Divine Discontent]

16. Edwards' policies overall match up to my own, and I would think most of DU

We need real leadership again in the White House. I sure hope Edwards gains big in Iowa in January when it matters. The Clinton camp can bask in their 35% in October.

[Tejanocrat]

17. After Kucinich, Edwards' policies match up with mine best. I'm always surprised how many people pick

a "favorite" by some process that doesn't appear to involve much consideration of the candidates' policies. For example, I never understand when I see someone whose favorite candidate is at one end of the spectrum and their second choice is at the opposite end of the spectrum.

[BootinUp]

19. The problem is

Edwards picks his policies just to win a Primary. God help us if he is the nominee.

[Tejanocrat]

20. I wouldn't think someone posting as "Jim4Wes" wouldn't understand ideological evolution. Go figure.

[BootinUp]

23. You close you eyes

to reality because you want to believe, I don't fault YOU for that. Thanks for the attack btw.

[Tejanocrat]

37. I close me eyes?

I don't fault you either.

If you think anything I said was an "attack" you might prefer a debate where everyone agrees with you. In any event, you're welcome.

[venable]

21. wrong, and unsupported, and wrong

there are some part-time pols who do this sort of thing, like supporting whichever party seems to be ascending, but Edwards is not one of these types, thank goodness.

[babylonsister]

30. Ha!

:rofl: Yes, God help us all, because he's the only one doing that. :eyes:

[BootinUp]

33. "I apologize"

-John Edwards

[Divine Discontent]

24. lol... goodness so true... why's that! so many go off voice & looks

those are nice and all, but issues mean a lot to me

take care!

[BootinUp]

18. Didn't he say the same thing in 2003?

He has fallen for the Edwards is most electable cause he's a southern white boy meme.

[venable]

22. he has fallen for Edwards because Edwards makes the most policy sense

and says what he means.

big difference.

[Divine Discontent]

25. ditto!

and if people want to make it more than that, well then consider that when you pit corporate shill vs. corporate shill you lose millions of liberal voters at the polls, which makes the battleground states we all know about - RED.

[loudsue]

26. I was REALLY glad to hear Maher supports Edwards.

I think most Dems who know what's going on in the world, and who probably would rather Gore or Kucinich take the helm, would support Edwards. He's learned a lot in the time he's been in politics. I just hope the neocons don't chew him up & spit him out like they did the last southern gentleman that was elected = Carter.

:kick:

[usregimechange]

27. do we have the video?

[AtomicKitten]

29. Maher was discussing electability when he called Edwards a "sure win."

I don't necessarily agree nor do I think that was an actual endorsement.

[bigdarryl]

31. he DID NOT endores him he simply said he's the more ELECTABLE out of the democrats in fact....

he said this three months ago on O'Reilly

[maximusveritas]

40. Can't believe it took this long for someone to point that out n/t

[NYCGirl]

32. I love Bill Maher...Edwards, not so much. NT

[DURHAM D]

34. Bill Maher was a complete sexist pig last night.

He used the Ellen breakdown earlier in the week to show his ridiculous view of all women. He is about his weed and his penis. That's it - he could not be a more shallow boy.

I like John Edwards far more than Bill. And, although JE is not my first choice for President, I am certain he is not a sexist cretin.

[DemBones DemBones]

38. You're right, he's all about his weed and his penis,

which must be small since he is such a misogynist. I don't know anything about the Ellen breakdown you refer to but I do know how Maher disparages women, refuse to watch him. He is funny once in a while but too often he is just mean to some group of people, often female people.

Edwards shouldn't be burdened with Maher's endorsement. Bill will probably vote for Ghouliani, anyway,

[Catchawave]

39. I finally watched the video...

And a huge fan of Bill for YEARS, that definitely was an endorsement...Maher Style. He's been saying for months Edwards/Obama would be unbeatable and by a landslide.
