Irony - Thy Name Is Democrat

From my friend Frenchie:

The Democrats have suddenly developed a keen sense of morality. John Edwards has been banned from making a speech at the Democratic convention for having an affair and lying about it.

In his place Bill Clinton will be speaking!

Ohhhhhhh the irony!!!!

John Edwards - Egocentric And Narcissistic JERK!

If the world didn't already know that he was an "egocentric and narcissistic", sleazebag, ambulance-chasing lawyer who made his millions suing the hell out of innocent doctors (thereby raising the malpractice insurance rates among them to the point many had to quit), then he just admitted it.   Anyone want to bet that this is only time?

From Edwards "I'm a victim too" letter:

In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic. If you want to beat me up — feel free.

First of all, it didn't take a few campaigns to bring you to that conclusion, you've probably been that way all your life. 

Second, someone needs to beat you up - for real!  You sir, are a disgusting piece of whale crap in a $1500 suit.  You have a wife  who is dying and children!

It's obvious that Edwards is a liar and remains one.  Face it, if any part of this whole thing was a lie, Edwards would have been suing the socks off the Enquirer from the get!

Goodbye John.  We had enough of ye!

Is Anyone Surprised?

So the Breck Girl just endorsed Obama.  Really, is anyone surprised?  There is no love lost between Edwards and Hillary.  I never expected any other result.

The fact is that both Silky and Obama are both cut from the same extremist liberal cloth.

And no, I don't think Edwards is on the Veep short list for a number of reasons.  None the least of which is that Edwards already lost at that gig.

Democrat Identity Politics

Listen to this "question" put to the Breck Girl in tonight's Democrat Debate:

This would be the most hilarious moment in Presidential debate history if it wasn't for the fact that these people are deadly serious. Ya know, I almost feel sorry for Edwards. 

Granted, Edwards would make the worst President since Jimmy Carter, but I almost feel sorry for him. I don't know what his answer except that it was most likely couched in his typical smarmy style.  The point is simply that there is no good answer to that kind of question for a Democrat.  He's damned no matter what comes out of his mouth.

May the best man woman African-American victim win!

The Comeback Kidette

A scant few hours ago, we were told it was all but over. We were told by just about every pollster out there that Obama would comfortably win New Hampshire and that the Hillary juggernaut was running out of steam. To everyone’s surprise, she wins it in a squeaker. The pundits will be analyzing the results while the campaigns spin like turbine wheels at full military power.

Hillary is now is the “comeback Kidette” and you can bet you will hear a dozen variations of that before noon.

One has to wonder if the Obama crowd might even start hinting at irregularities in the voting process. Personally, I doubt there was and I doubt any credible voice will make the allegation although the Clinton machine isn’t above a little chicanery. One can imagine that if it is brought up, it will be in the fever swamps known as the Democratic Underground or even a Kos Diarist. Like I said, no one credible.

One of the things I’ve been saying is that you cannot count Hillary out – EVER!!!! She is in this to win and Obama better well have figured that out by now.

At this point, Edwards is an also ran. I’m batting he is all but gone by super Tuesday.

Jim Addison at Wizbang has a great take on the Breck Girl’s campaign.

In any event, New Hampshire Democrats opted for distasteful substance over empty style. Trailing badly, John Edwards vowed to fight on until the convention, noting that 48 states and over 99% of the voting population had not yet "been heard." Whatever gives the Breck Girl the idea that when we "hear" from those yet uncounted, they will be any more for him than they were four years ago, when he lost, is unspecified. Edwards drew lower support in both Iowa and New Hampshire than he did in 2004, and cannot win South Carolina as he did four years ago. He LOST four years ago, and is doing worse this time. Hel-looooo? Johnny boy? Anyone paying attention in there, or are you transfixed by the mirror again?

Edwards is so vane, he probably thinks this race is about him/

On to the next primary.

Is She Or Isn't She?

The National Enquirer is reporting that some woman by the name of Rielle Hunter aka Lisa Druck is pregnant with John Edwards' kid. 

Presidential candidate John Edwards is caught up in a love child scandal, a blockbuster ENQUIRER investigation has discovered.

The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively that Rielle Hunter, a woman linked to Edwards in a cheating scandal earlier this year, is more than six months pregnant — and she's told a close confidante that Edwards is the father of her baby!

Now I don't know if she is carrying the Breck Girl's baby or if she isn't.  What I do know is that no one, not even the Enquirer, would stupidly print something like this unless they have some sort of solid absolute proof -  especially it concerned a prominent and successful trial lawyer. 

If she isn't carrying the Silk Pony's kid, then Edwards should soon own the National Enquirer.  If she is, stick a fork in him, he's done.

Two Chickens In Every Pot

Political campaigns are centered on who will give you more. It's the nature of the beast. Both parties are guilty, but the Democrats try to use out and out give aways right up front. John Edwards is hoping you will support him because he will give you more than anyone else.

John Edwards is a typical liberal politician. He wants to give out your money to other people so that you become poorer and they become better off. The evil rich (You) is why they are poor and he will fix it for them by taking your money. That's the theory, but reality has shown time and again that such a theory is a false assumption. The only thing that becomes better off is government bureaucracy.

Here's his pitch:

Edwards, a former Democratic senator from North Carolina, says the federal government should underwrite universal pre-kindergarten, create matching savings accounts for low-income people, mandate a minimum wage of $9.50 and provide a million new Section 8 housing vouchers for the poor. He also pledged to start a government-funded public higher education program called "College for Everyone."

He says the rich, to include himself will have to pay more in taxes to afford it, but the sacrice is worth it.

At every stop, Edwards said, he tells voters he'll ask them to sacrifice. Asked to describe what he means, he described his plan for increases in capital gains taxes, saying taxes on "wealth income" should be in line with those on work income.

Then it appears that he will be lowering taxes for the rich. It's a fact that the top 10% pay over 80 percent of the taxes.

"I think if we want to fund the things that I think are important to share in prosperity, then people who have done well in this country, including me, have more of a responsibility to give back," he said. Later, he added: "There are no free meals."

You see, here is the fallacy in that. He has his. He is fabulously wealthy and paying few extra bucks in taxes is not going to hurt him much. There is no sacrifice for him. If he was serious about sacrifice, he would do something other than run for the President, buy a huge mansion and get 400 dollar haircuts. He would devote his time and energy seeking free market solutions to poverty instead of insisting that people pay more in taxes.

He wants you to pay for his big ideas.

Edwards thinks we are stupid and greedy. He thinks the lure of "free" is his ticket to the white house. He duped the voters of North Caroline once. He knew he would never get reelected so he ran for President last time and got himself on Kerry's ticket.

It's time we smarten up, folks. He's right, there are no free meals. Someone has to pay and it will be anyone who works.

He wants to put two chickens in your pot – and charge you for three.

John Edwards And The War On Terror

John Edwards says there is no war on terror.

In a defense policy speech he planned to deliver at the Council on Foreign Relations, Edwards called the war on terror a "bumper sticker" slogan Bush had used to justify everything from abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison to the invasion of Iraq.

And what in hell does Edwards call what happened on September 11th, 2001?  That was a declaration of war by the barbarian Jihadists and by barbarian, I mean exactly that.  These butchers don't care about anyone's rights.  Abu Ghraib, torture be damned.  They wouldn't treat our GI's any better if we gave those thugs the royal treatment.  It really doesn't matter to these sons of pigs.  The radical Islamists are savages, nothing more, nothing less and they are at war with civilization.

But according to the Breck Girl:

"We need a post-Bush, post-9/11, post-Iraq military that is mission focused on protecting Americans from 21st century threats, not misused for discredited ideological purposes," Edwards said in remarks prepared for delivery. "By framing this as a war, we have walked right into the trap the terrorists have set—that we are engaged in some kind of clash of civilizations and a war on Islam."

He calls it a trap, What the hell does he mean by that?  This whole thing is some kind of scheme to draw us into a war?  If so, than I guess Hitler set a pretty good trap as well.  Edwards might be a slick and slippery lawyer, but his knowledge of history sucks.  Good thing he became a shyster, sucking the life blood out of good physicians using junk science, because he makes a lousy leader and worse political scientist.

Sucking people into war is what people bent on war do.  Look at Chavez down in Venezuela. He could only HOPE to suck us into invading him.  It is his dream.  His problem is that he knows if he attacked us like the Islamists did, he'd be crushed like a bug so fast his little commie head would spin.

But the Islamists are harder to squash.  They are here and there, spread through a billion people all over the globe. 

John Edwards and the Democrats would like you to believe that there is no war.  It's jut a law enforcement problem.  If they catch them, they'll just bring them to trial.  If they get off because of some technicality, well they did their best.  That should make you feel real safe.  We've been there with the Clintons

Between Pretty Boy's hypocritical "two Americas" crap and now this, Edwards is proving once again why you cannot trust a Democrat with National Security.

Elizabeth Edwards is a Rabid, Rabid Democrat

Elizabeth Edwards is now in the lunatic, moonbat category.  Both her and her husband are so full of themselves, it's a wonder they can be in the same room with each other. 

They are the type of people that have absolutely no clue about how most Americans live and die.  They speak of "two Americas", but I'm here to tell ya, they are firmly ensconced in the upper tier.  If you think for one minute these snobs care one whit for the working stiff and the poor, you need to rethink.  Bill and Hillary Clinton didn't care, but at least Bill had the capacity to make you THINK he cared.  Mr. and Mrs. Breck Girl don't even come close to that ability.

Read this:

RALEIGH --Elizabeth Edwards says she is scared of the "rabid, rabid Republican" who owns property across the street from her Orange County home -- and she doesn't want her kids going near the gun-toting neighbor.

Edwards, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, particularly recalls the time neighbor Monty Johnson brought out a gun while chasing workers investigating a right of way near his property. The Edwards family has yet to meet Johnson in person.

"I wouldn't be nice to him, anyway," Edwards said in an interview. "I don't want my kids anywhere near some guy who, when he doesn't like somebody, the first thing he does is pull a gun out. It scares the business out of me."

Mrs. Edwards, you are so full of "business", I doubt anything could scare you that much.  Second of all, just because a guy has a gun does not make him an evil or violent man.  Just because he protects his property, does not mean he is going to come over to your house and slaughter your pet bunnies.  If the man pulled a gun on everyone he disliked, I'm certain he would either be in jail, or spent time in jail and his guns would have been taken away from him.

What does he have to say about his uppity neighbors?

But Johnson defended the occasion he brandished a gun, saying those on his land didn't have the proper approval.

"I use the gun for protection, and I considered that an appropriate time," Johnson said. "Sometimes you have to take drastic measures."

Edwards views Johnson as a "rabid, rabid Republican" who refuses to clean up his "slummy" property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.

Johnson, 55, acknowledges his Republican roots. But he takes offense to the suggestion he has purposefully left his property, including an old garage he leases for use as a car shop, in dilapidated condition.

Johnson said he has lived his entire life on the property, which he said his family purchased before the Great Depression. He said he's spent a lot of money to try and fix up the 42-acre tract.

"I have to budget. I have to live within my means," Johnson said. "I don't have millions of dollars to fix the place."

I can understand that his property is probably a bit "slummy".  He's a country boy and he's lived there all his life.  It probably is a mite run down.  On the other hand, you'd think that the Edwards, being the compassionate folks they are, would extend a hand and ask if they could help him get the place tidied up., not necessarily with money, but a weekend of labor and a pickup load or two might go along way.  It's what neighbors do. 

Mr. Johnson has his property up for sale.  It seems that property taxes are now way too high for him to stay there.  I wonder if that is because of the Edwards' Manse?

Yeah Johnson sounds like the kind of guy Mrs. Edwards needs to be afraid of.  Lady, ya got a lot of gall and a lot to learn.

For a man who wants to be President, The Breck Girl and his wife have a lot to learn about that other America. 

Rabid, rabid republicans indeed!

Twits.

Edwards Keeps His hat In The Ring

It has to be the hardest of prognoses, being told that you have a terminal disease and there isn't much they can do but either slow its progression or make you comfortable for your remaining time.  Everyone fears the big C and rightfully so, I'd imagine.  I'll be honest with you, it scares me a bit. 

We've made great strides over the years in combating cancer.  It's not always the death sentence it was even 20 years ago.  Sometimes, you can't beat it.  Sometimes it comes back with a vengeance.  The other day, a relative of a friend was told she had it and it had spread throughout her body,  She wasn't given very much longer to live. 

And that appears to be the case with Mrs. Edwards.  The cancer has returned and it has spread throughout her body and into her bones.  The prognosis is terminal.  How long she has at this point isn't public.

As many have stated today, I haven't much use for Mr. Edwards' politics, but this is something that transcends the political.  I join with everyone else in wishing them well and praying they have the strength and fortitude to deal with this huge setback in the months to come.

If they feel the campaign must go on, then that is their decision.  However, if they decided to end the campaign, no one would blame them or think that they were "cowering in the corner".

I can imagine that if I were in the same position as the Edwards, I'd stop the campaign and focus what time I had left with my wife.  If someone couldn't understand why, then the hell with them.

In any case, I wish them well and I hope they can make the most of the time they haver left.
