being near DC, i see a lot of what SBF is talking about (from both sides), and its really sad some people are that warped with tunnel vision.
but even though i'd never vote for kerry, i think edwards is a much better choice than gep... gep just seemed so negative... edwards also has more support from the 18-24 demo i'd guess...

SBF, I did an awful job expressing myself in my last post. I apologize for that. I totally believe your story. I've heard similar accounts myself from Republicans when Democrats are in the White House and from Democrats when Republicans are there.
What I meant to say, and should have said, was that nobody would or should defend this guy's notion that we would benefit in any way from another attack on this country or mounting casualties, even if you are a fellow democrat like this guy
I hope that clears it up

I must say, I expected Clark or Gephart. Clark would bring in the senior citizens and military guys. Gephart has a lot of experience. I do like the Edwards pick.
Anybody But Bush.

Just like SORE/Loserman they will still be Senators next year.
I had a democrat the other day tell me he was wishing for the worst things for our Country and our people just so his political party had a better chance. He justified his thoughts and wishes that some VERY heavy casulties would mount quickly and even wished for some other attack ON THIS COUNTRY.
I was stunned talking to him and trust me....... I gave him more than an ear full of what I thought about what he was wishing for. Geez-0-flip!
Sammyfan, that view does not represent my position, and I am a democrat. Also, I am sure it does not represent the opinion of Kerry and Edwards. I supported (and still support) the war, but I have grown increasingly doubtful that the Bush team, especially the civilian leaders in the Pentgon, know what they are doing. Anyway, if you see me posting and criticizing Bush, please don't think that that offensive opinion you mentioned reflects my view. I speak for no one but myself, but I am a democrat, and I don't want to get tarred with that brush.
Definitely anybody but Bush, hell I'd vote for Bugs freakin Bunny over Bush

Hey guys, thanks for the "opinions".
Let's all agree we want what is best for this Nation even if we disagree with how to get there...which we clearly do.
peace to all you Warpathers!

clark wouldn't really bring in the military, many military guys don't like him much (shameless self promoter, among other things)...

Suppose though that Kerry wins and then again in 2008. It will be interesting to see what happens in 2012. I would imagine that Edwards being just 59 at that time would run for president. But it seems like the Dems want their next candidate to be Hillary.
thats a freaking scary ass thought of Hilary running for the presidency. No matter what happens in the rest of her or my life, I'll always remember the video of her laughing in the background while there was a ceremony at groundzero.
edwards helps kerry reach the southern states and younger voters. I honestly thought the democrats would choose him to represent the party, but his very limited political expirience and lengthy past of being an injury lawyer might hurt him. I think clark lost his chance with what was shown in F9-11.

yeah, i'd have to agree that hillary is the worst possible choice to ever run for president... just so self-serving and cold.
unfortunately, money has determined who can run, not talent... i dont think bush or kerry are anywhere near ideal candidates, but they can get the cash.
