The time for games is over....Senator Edwards

avatar

While pissing and pokin' at the new site may still be done, right now is not the time.
Neither is it time to conjecture about what mischief might be  done with superdelegates or credentialing.  The guantlet has been thrown down.

I'm referring to Olbermann's special comment.

A mere two years or so after I called BushCo a bunch of corporatizing fascists, Mr. Olbermann voiced it in a better language (which is why he gets the big bucks and I...well), one that finally should make sense to John and Jane Voter.

After a day when the House got their long awaited testicle drop and finally told Mr. Bush to put up or shut up, the silence is deafening.

So now is the time, Senator Edwards, to exercise your better angel.  Call Dr. Dean.  Ask him to help you persuade Senator Obama and Senator Clinton to really make a change to the system.  Get them in a room and convince them to join forces.  No Democratic cream-your-jeans Dream Team.  But the vision of change working with the one that loves to work the levers of government.  Present the voters with unification and start the race now.  McCain has signed on to the evil side of Amerika, the lesser angels.  Give the people of that endangered other half the reason to believe that we can find our way out of the second Dark Age.

I don't think the Democratic electorate is so selfish, self-absorbed or sick as to require the next round of bloodletting that will go on with our candidates if conventional wisdom is allowed to prevail. 

So I appeal to your better angel for leadership.  I know deep down that Americans are too good for that fate and would not choose it for themselves.  The only way that it will happen is if the notions of change and hope are abandoned, and we give up the right choice for the "security" of the status quo.

Oh please, no way. That's what the MSM is calling for, and it would be horrible.

Howard Dean is no longer a doctor, btw. He didn't bother to renew his credentials and no longer deserves the title. Also, HoHo is not a dem, he's an opportunist who recognized willing dupes when he saw them. Y'all are such gullible fools. John Edwards isn't deceived and wouldn't expect HoHo to care.

Edwards has been attempting to get Obama to recommit to the meeting that Obama cancelled last week. I think Super Tuesday went to his head. Obama might be surprised by the wake up call that is coming his way after PA and OH. He should have called Edwards back and committed to the issues. He hasn't. If it's too late, it's no ones fault but his own.

Instead of telling Edwards what to do, you ought to be petitioning the egotist, Obama. Edwards is interested in doing what is best, and kowtowing to a pretender to social justice isn't it. Now, if I'm wrong I'll be prepared to admit it, but Obama needs to prove me wrong, but coming down out of his corporate sponsered ivory tower and sit down with Edwards.

Edwards voters aren't going to Obama 'til Obama commits to the issues. We are united on that, get over it.
