Comments on: John Edwards Clearly Has Lost His Mind http://www.towncalleddobson.com/?p=718 Blue Life In Red America Wed, 18 Aug 2010 21:14:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: AnimeFreak40K http://www.towncalleddobson.com/?p=718&cpage=1#comment-44116 AnimeFreak40K Tue, 05 Jun 2007 12:57:58 +0000 http://www.towncalleddobson.com/?p=718#comment-44116 HAH See, that is the type of stuff that gets my respect, right there. How well will it work? Who can say for sure. Unfortunatly, in today's day and age, people do not get into office for their morality, stance on policies or anything that is remotely important to doing their job...instead, politicians must sell themselves and make themselves liked. They tell people what they want to hear, instead of the truth. Sad, but true. While Edwards, very true statement of 'I made a mistake', is good and honest, how far will that get him? Yes, it would take him very far for people like you and me...but for the vast majority of the citizenry that does not like to hear "Whoops", it may prove to be his downfall. Why? Because the public WANTS to hear things like "I thought it was so the UN could get done quicker" or "Because Bush lied to me". They would rather hear something...ANYTHING other than someone admit that they screwed up. ...Why? I have no bloody clue. HAH

Yes, it would take him very far for people like you and me…but for the vast majority of the citizenry that does not like to hear “Whoops”, it may prove to be his downfall. Why?

I fully support John Edwards, and I would have to completely agree with you. He took responsibility for his actions--he knows what he did was wrong. He shows maturity, which, by the time people are his age, it should really be expected. But we have reached an entirely new level of politics that I don't know what to expect anymore. All I know is John Edwards is the only one fully qualified for the job. In fact, I've never seen a man (or WOMAN) more perfect for it. This is a hilarious comic; I love it.

They'll be asked why they didn't read the NIE. They'll be asked if they let political considerations make their decision. They'll be asked why it took so long for them to admit they were wrong and if it had anything to do with running in a Democratic primary. Edwards has only been asked that first question and he didn't have an answer. You can be sure that he'll be asked the other two in the months to come. I suspect he doesn't have an answer to them either. The reason they can’t say they were wrong is because they’ll then be asked why they got it wrong. They’ll be asked why they didn’t read the NIE.

They say the media will make a big deal and the pol will look foolish...Well, those that can't say simply "I was wrong" are the one's with tremendous egos and no humility...they appear (are)intransigent, uncompromising, inflexible. Why doesn't the media complain about that? Yeah, I want to know why politicians can’t apologize?
