John Edwards: The Global War on Terror is not an actual war

[homesick_american 1]

Mitt is the worst offender among the candidates so far. Edwards a close 2nd. JMHO.

What makes Mitt worse?

Amerikans are patently stupid.

Nice. Ironic considering your spelling of AmeriCan

He's a poser because he pretends to be conservative. His turnaround on all the issues from when he was Gov of MA to now is nothing short of remarkable. He tries to portray it as an evolution in this thought process but when his mind changes on so many issues, just in time for a Presidential campaign, just the precise right way to be a GOP nominee.... sorry, I don't buy it. He's poser #1.

Ah...well, his politics and stances on the issues don't bother me as much as some of the more conservative candidates in the pack, but that's probably because I'm left of center. I still won't be voting for ol'Mitt, though.

Yeah I didn't expect you would be. Who do you like in the Dem primary candidates so far?

None that I've seen so far.

ETA: Both the Republicans and the Democrats are putting up a whole bunch of duds.

What, you no like Kucinich?

I proudly voted for Gore in 2000. I was excited about him becoming president. I'm still convinced the 2000 election was stolen.

What, you no like Kucinich?

LOL, you must be joking.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Well he's a bit late to the party -

I believe he's the only Presidential candidate (excluding those with no chance of winning like Kucinich and Gravel) who has come out and said it in these terms.

Maybe - but like most politicians he's light-years behind the general public.

I'm wondering about his judgement after he paid $400 for a haircut that looks like he just got out of bed.

LOL... I really liked him in '04 and voted for him in the primary. I hope he goes further this time around.

But you're right, $400 for a haircut is just ridiculous for anybody.

I'd seriously like to know what's the real story behind that. Obviously, if you're going to the Prom, you're not going to go to Easy Eddie's Barber Shop - home of the $4 dollar bowl cut.

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards on Monday called the flap over his $400 haircuts "embarrassing" and said he didn't realize at the time the cost of the Beverly Hills stylist.

Appearing on the nationally syndicated Ed Schultz radio show, the former North Carolina senator said his staff had arranged for the two haircuts in his hotel room to save time during busy West Coast campaign swings.

"This particular thing is really embarrassing," Edwards told radio listeners and an audience of about 250 people in the Carolina Union auditorium at UNC-Chapel Hill. "No one should pay $400 for a haircut."

The haircuts created a flap when their cost showed up on his campaign report that he filed with the Federal Election Commission. He later repaid the cost from his personal funds, saying it should not have been charged to the campaign.

"I knew it was going to be expensive," he said. "I don't want to mislead. When a haircut guy comes to your hotel to cut your hair, it's not going to be cheap."

Ah, see. It's not like the man's going to get manicured regularly. I'll bet he puts his pants on, one leg at a time like the rest of us.

If he was a Republican, would you be so willing to take him at his word, Steven?

Sure. But if you catch him spending elaborately in other ways, I would concede that you can make a case about it.

John Edwards ought to be awarded the Grand Prize for stating the obvious.
