And the Next Fine Democrat Under the Bus is....................... |
|
(trumpet horns here)..........John Edwards for his support of Hillary Clinton. I love ya John, no matter who you support. But, alas, the Obama supporters will not only toss you under the bus, they will back over you.

9. It's speculation at this point |
|
But yes, if he does endorse Hillary, watch for his demonization by some of Obama's supporters.

29. The OP makes this claim about Obama supporters: |
|
They "will not only toss (Edwards) under the bus, they will back over (Edwards)"
As an Obama supporter, I say Edwards has the right to endorse who he pleases. He is a private citizen and under no obligation to me. As an Edwards supporter, you, of course, have expectations I don't have.

32. Actually I agree with you more than you think. |
|
He is under no obligation to me, either, and I've supported him for years and donated tons of money and time to his campaign. He owes me nothing except maybe to live up to what I believe is his great potential...no matter where that leads him.
He certainly owes nothing to Obama or Clinton.

18. Nothing in there mentions any kind of endorsement - in fact, it shows Edwards hitting HRC, not |
|
supporting her. I am totally confused!

10. Please. Hillbots shouldn't fucking talk. They've thrown far more |
|
people under the bus than Obama supporters. Kennedy, Leahy, Feingold, Caroline Kennedy, Olberman, Schuster and legions more.
I never liked JE at all. I don't see him as a fine democrat, but I support his right to endorse whoever he wishes, and should he do so, I'll do what I've done with EVERY endorsement she's gotten: Congratulate her. Now, tell me if the likes of YOU can say the same.

but what happens if the reports are WRONG? Who will be throwing WHO under the bus? Who will making fun of his haircut AGAIN, just like you fucking hypocrites did when I was supporting him? No, we ex-Edwards and now Obama supporters are NOT like you...we will continue to admire and respect John and Elizabeth just like we always have. So from an ex-Edwards LONG TIME supporter FUCK YOU ALL-you fucking hypocrites-I was here, I SAW what you bastards said and wrote

"I don't see him as a fine democrat...."
So, you didn't support him. Fine.
I consider MYSELF to be a fine Democrat. I consider YOU to be a fine democrat. I consider all of the past candidates who ran to be fine democrats regardless if I supported their candidacy or not.

And I have to say, I have no intention of throwing anyone under any buses. Seems this sort of assumption about what one candidate's supporters will or will not do is determined by whom those slinging this sort of mud support themselves.

22. I'll disagree with his choice if he endorses Hillary |
|
- and that's still a big "IF". I'll be confused by his decision, given her downward trend and the near impossibility of her being nominated at this point.
But honestly, what difference would it make either way who he nominates? The nomination is all but decided at this point, and a few delegate swing in either direction is not going to change the outcome.

24. Yeah, because Hillary fans have been so kind to Kennedy, Kerry, Olberman, etc. |
|
Both sides have done this over and over. Neither side has the high road on this one.

31. Seems like someone is trying to dig up hate with this thread |
|
I await John's statement before I reach a conclusion and even then I would never throw him under the bus.
Until John releases a statement all of this is supposition

He throws his support to Obama. Then the Hillary supporters run over him, then back up to see if they were successful, then run over him again, and blame it on Obama. :-)

34. John Edwards will not be dead to Obama supporters if he endorses Hillary. |
|
However, to answer you question, the next fine democrat under the bus will be one who supports Obama.

around the body. If you're not on the Obama train, you're vilified.
Fun for everyone. Only not.
I still support John Edwards. Maybe Clinton will choose him as her veep?
One can only hope.
