To all Edwards people gloating Clark is out (offensive sig pics)

[robbedvoter]

Where do I send flowers next week?
And since you are so fond of comparing your guy to Clinton, here's my homage:

[mrgorth]

1. I haven't seen one

anti-Clark sig pic. Who are you talking about?

[Bombtrack]

2. Although it's really a response to the viciousness towards Edwards

coming mostly from a select few of Clark turned Kerry supporters, you don't fight disrespect with disrespect with disrespect.

I wish it would all stop

[BootinUp]

3. Theres a difference between

making a disrespectful post and making every one of your posts disrespectful.

We all get hot under the collar occasionally, adding something to your sig line as a result is about the most divisive thing one can do.

[mrgorth]

7. Jim

Who is the babe to the left of Wes in that pic?

[BootinUp]

13. I admit

it is one of the attractions I have for this picture :)

alas, I do not have that piece of information.

[Cuban_Liberal]

4. Edwards has already said he's staying in after next week.

Sorry to disappoint you...

[TakebackAmerica]

5. Clarkie for Edwards!

FCSFE- Former Clark Supporters For Edwards

[bowens43]

6. Wow! That was childish!

[revcarol]

8. Childish beats vicious every time.

Seriously, there is a wonderful feature on DU...

[Forkboy]

9. Recess is over already?

[jpgpenn]

28. this from a poster that is named "Forkboy" LOL

:freak:

[colonel odis]

10. so now clinton's a bad president?

excuse me while i pull out the old statements from my broker and my ira balances during the 90s.

not many presidents leave office after 8 years with a 66% approval rating.

if edwards is more of the clinton years, sign me up.

[anti-NAFTA]

27. Yes, he was a bad president.

He sold America out to the multinationals and backstabbed the Democratic Party last summer when he called in on Larry King. I'm an Edwards supporter, and I'm telling you that you'd be better off voting for Kerry.

[citizen snips]

11. I am only posting it because I like the plant in the background.

:D


On edit: added a smilie.

[Cuban_Liberal]

12. That's really NOT helpful, MATTMAN

*sigh*

[Jackhammer Jesus]

14. Okay, now I understand your post from yesterday (Clark vs. Edwards)

But, gee, I don't suppose it might have something to do with all these idiotic "Clark - Out" pictures in Edwards supporters' signatures, could it?

"They started it" doesn't cut it. Someone needs to show an ounce of maturity and put an end to it, and putting insulting pics in their signature does exactly the opposite.

[SangamonTaylor]

39. i agree. it doesn't help the edwards campaign

and is against his positive message. wes clark is a great man and should be respected for his service to our country and courage to stand up to bush.

17. Well you do have a point.

After all I am only in high school.

[funky_bug]

15. If it weren't so sad (Clark pic) it might be funny

The sad thing is, many of those with the "hottest new sig line" were the same Edwards supporters who were salivating for Clark to drop out so that they could have a real shot at Kerry ("You're splitting the anti-Kerry/Southern vote.")

The reason it's so damned sad, is that not only is Clark out, but Edwards has gained little from it, while Tuesday night's showings were very strong for Kerry, and quite strong for Kucinich... Edwards still struggles to define himself as a legitimate threat - with or without Clark's supporters.

See, kicking a dead horse is childish - but kicking it in anger because it couldn't get you past the finish line is such plain sad.

[Scoopie]

18. What's up with Deaniacs supporting Milquetoast?

Seriously.
There are so many Deanie Babies on here supporting that guy who has virtually no experience anywhere.
My Clark got berated for "having no domestic experience," when he virtually worked as the equivalant of a governor running NATO.
Now, these same people want to elect a man with NO foreign policy experience and very little domestic policy experience? AND, he's a Washington insider AND he voted for the war AND he voted for and helped write the Patriot Act.
What gives?
Are you people just for the underdog or what.'
Kerry gives me heartburn - he does - but between Kerry and Edwards, I'm gonna have to go Kerry because Bush will CREAM Edwards on the foreign policy issue.
I'm sad to see that Edwards is not running for re-election to his Senate seat. Us Southerners could use some more Democrats in the Congress, even if they do enable Bush.

[Padraig18]

19. There are other issues.

:hi:

[dogman]

22. Like supporting the Global Oil Project

Connecting the Iraq War to 9-11.

[Scoopie]

30. yes, there are

But, after 9/11, I think that it's HIGHLY important that we get along with our world community neighbors (actually, being the ex wife of a Palestinian man, I have ALWAYS thought that was important).
Edwards will be a good somebody someday - he really just doesn't have the skills necessary to do it NOW.
And, I don't just mean political.
I used to cover court for a newspaper - I know more than my fair share of attorneys - and, despite public opinion (LOL), there are some good ones.
It's just that he really doesn't SAY anything except his standard stump speech - that concerns me. And I've been to his site, too. He espouses rhetoric without offering solutions.
The reason I'm for Wes (still am, yes I am - would vote for him all over again) is that he has LIVED the policies he espouses. I don't think Edwards, Dean or Kerry has.
I'll vote Kerry (gag) but ONLY because Wes asked me to. I was going to write in Wes, but, hell, we've got to kick that cretin out of office.
At least with Kerry, I don't have to worry about exprience, even if I don't like half of what he's half-way voted for.

[BootinUp]

20. Its a good question, my guess

is that they are even more afraid than I am, that Kerry will lose to Bush because he is from Massachusetts. And if that is the reason then it also explains why they supported Dean who was anything but a left winger as a Governor. It seems to point, to a rabid desire to remove Bushevco and I can certainly understand that.

But as you point out, Edwards has weaknesses too.

edited for sloppiness.

[colonel odis]

21. i'm amazed at the pissiness towards edwards

i keep seeing from some clark supporters.

says a lot about the people who supported him. all 12 of them.

[Scoopie]

23. Hmmmm

Who's pissy now?

Edwards is also LOSING - in case you haven't read. Duh.
In fact, I find it incredible that Clark BEAT Edwards in so many races (even if Johnny wants to call them a "tie") when he didn't start running until September.
Face it, Edwards is only where he is because of media attention.
He's not that good of a candidate.
Look, I'm FROM the South. I grew up less than 200 miles from where Edwards is from and I think he's a lightweight.
But, hey, that's MY opinion.
You have yours - but you didn't answer any of my questions.

[colonel odis]

37. when did you ask me any questions?

if you did, i missed them. otherwise, i would have answered then.

look, i'm also FROM the south. big deal. i grew up and still live halfway between where clark's from and where edwards is from. so is there some sort of southernness in question?

i gave serious thought to voting for clark, kerry, dean, and edwards. i happened to land on edwards.

it's not my fault clark didn't do well in the primaries, nor is it john edwards's fault. my comment was simply that i'm surprised at how pissy clark supporters are being.

not that you proved my point or anything.......

[citizen snips]

25. I originally did not want to post the Clark/out pic in my sig.

But the negative threads directed to Edwards did not stop.

[dogman]

26. What does Clark have to do with it?

Edwards lack of qualifications has nothing to do with Clark. If Clark is in or out, Edwards still brings nothing to the Party.

[citizen snips]

29. Clark also lacks qualifications.

That is why he lost so bad because he had no political experience.

[Scoopie]

32. So what's Edwards' excuse?

He's also losing badly - having won the SAME number of states that Clark has - ONE.
Hmmm? :shrug:

[Padraig18]

24. That sig line pic is really juvenile and offensive.

:eyes:

[jpgpenn]

31. yes do cover those virgin eyes!

:freak:

[robbedvoter]

36. Which sig line would that be?

[Piperay]

33. I'm a Clarkie and I don't see

why we should be attacking each other. :-( I like Kerry, Edwards and DK, I would be happy to vote for any of them in the GE.

[Scoopie]

34. Ahhh...

Yes... I realize this is DEMOCRATIC Underground - but I'm not a Democrat.
I'm a moderate Independent.
And I won't be happy voting for the choices the extremes have given me.
Yick. :puke:

This is what the COUNTRY (Indies are 40 percent strong) is trying to tell you guys. The Republicans won't listen. I was hoping you guys would!
GIVE US MODERATION, INTELLIGENCE and GUTS - and we'll kick that sonofabitch out of office for you!

[JohnLocke]

35. kick!

[mikehiggins]

38. I don't find that Clark sig-pic particularly offensive at all, as it

happens. It is a fact that Clark is out of the race. It is sort of funny to see it being used in support of a guy who has managed to win exactly the same number of states as Clark did, but hung in there so he could manage to lose even more. I guess he can keep on losing primaries right up until the convention, long as his money holds out.

Sounds like a great plan to me.
