Russ Feingold slams John Edwards

January 18, 2008 / Gerardo Orlando

The one that is the most problematic is (John) Edwards, who voted for the Patriot Act, campaigns against it. Voted for No Child Left Behind, campaigns against it. Voted for the China trade deal, campaigns against it. Voted for the Iraq war … He uses my voting record exactly as his platform, even though he had the opposite voting record.
When you had the opportunity to vote a certain way in the Senate and you didn’t, and obviously there are times when you make a mistake, the notion that you sort of vote one way when you’re playing the game in Washington and another way when you’re running for president, there’s some of that going on.

She can’t tell the truth. He’s finally starting to hit her on that.

Brooks on Clinton and Edwards

January 17, 2008 / Gerardo Orlando

Their answer was pretty lame.

The third thing that happened tonight is that Hillary Clinton and John Edwards disgraced themselves in the minds of debate-watchers everywhere. At some point in each campaign, candidates are asked to name their greatest weakness. Only the lamest political hacks answer that question this way: Goshdarn it, I just care too much. I am too impatient for good things to happen.
Giving that answer is an insult to the art of politics. And yet Edwards and Clinton both gave that answer. They didn’t even give artfully disguised versions of that answer. They gave the straight, unsubtle kindergarten version of that answer. Obama, honestly, admitted that he’s bad at organizing his paperwork. Truly, here is a man willing to stand for change.

It’s only a matter of time. The coalition of economic conservatives, social conservatives, old-school foreign policy conservatives and the neocons will not last. The Democrats should win in November unless they completely blow it.

Here’s a gem from comedian Rush Limbaugh:

“I’m here to tell you, if either of these two guys [McCain or Huchabee] get the nomination, it’s going to destroy the Republican Party, it’s going to change it forever, be the end of it.”
