Edwards has done nothing but work on his run for President since he's been elected senator. Yes, his suit representing the little girl was a worthy cause, but he's had plenty of other ones that were plain old ambulance chasing.
The only news we ever hear about him around here is how he's flying somewhere to raise money for a potential presidential run, or on an exploratory trip to look into his presidential possibilities.

Regarding Edwards vs. Gore, I will say this: No matter what we think about trial lawyers, (and I rank them right down there with pond scum) Edwards has at least actually done something with his career. Good or bad, he actually has done something in his life.
Al Gore has never done anything. His entire career has been in Washington.
If these two were my only choices, I'd take Edwards in a heartbeat.

I'd rather have neither.

You've forgotten his stand on Pickering already? That alone makes him top of the list in my book.

He's doing pretty well with his one-on-one interview with George Stephanopolis on "This Week"

McCain is a joke.
5th from the bottom at Canoe U. Was a pilot because his daddy was an Admiral.
Accused of collaborating with the Vietnamese while he was a POW although he was probably given special treatment because daddy was an admiral.
Keating 5.
First marriage broke up because of his infidelity. Still has a rep. for being less than faithful.
Second wifes family is connected to organized crime.
Very much the hot head. Quick tempered and difficult to work with.

He is outspoken on one hot button issue and suddenly he is the hero of the masses. Doesn't matter anyway, he won't break ranks and run against a sitting President.

I don't like any of the Democratic canidates yet. Hell, I don't care much for the Democratic party in general. They're a bunch of whiny pricks who cry fowl every time someone says something that one person in a million may be offended by. The most recent example is the Trent Lott thing.

Of course, I don't think much of the Republicans either. Aside from the face that the one person in a million that the Dems act like they're defending is most likely a Republican, they are constantly trying to keep America in the past, and seem to be driven purely by fear and, of course, religion. See stem cell research, abortion, assisted suicide, and other pretty much common sense things that the Reps never fail to drag their feet on.

All of that aside, I will vote Democratic in 2004 regardless of who is nominated or what his agenda is, for no reason other than to get that madman Bush out of office. Constant, prolonged wars against a constantly changing foe and the establishment of a police state in the name of 'homeland security' while completely ignoring things that really matter can only make things worse. Considering the damage he's done in 2 years, I'd hate to think of what he'd do given another 6. If he didn't have the whole nation brainwashed into thinking anyone who disagrees with him is a terrorist, he would have not only been impeached long ago, but he'd be doing hard labor. I'd pay to see that. :)

You gotta admit, the philosopher question was pretty tough. IMHO, Dubbya's answer is a cop out. Jesus isn't a philosopher in the traditional sense of the word.

Most democrats forgave Lott, and would have liked nothing more than him to stick around as party lightning rod. It was the White House that wanted him gone.

Not that I really want to read any more of your drivel but I would really like to know what it is you think Bush should have been impeached or arrested for?

Treason. No one who is working in the US's best interests would institute a policy of preemptive warfare (where the US is the aggressor) and negate the basic civil liberties granted by the constitution. I could give some examples, but my laptop is acting screwy and I'm probably going to have to spend the better part of the day trying to fix it.

Treason, huh. Well good luck with the laptop. Hopefully you'll have better luck with that than you've had saying something intelligent here.

Instead of worrying about impeachment, why don't you just send Rold Gold after him?

Fortunately, the majority of Americans disagree with you. We are tired of people like you who want us to wait until we are attacked to do something about madmen that run countries that sponser terrorism, and are openly hostile to the U.S.

Bush is going to save us from the bad guys? Thats a laugh.

Number of terrorists charged with crimes directly related to Sept 11th attack: One so far

Number of Americans dead due to corporate/military negligence/incompetence: about 3000

Number of interceptors available to defend the east coast Sept 11, 2001: Thirteen


His record speaks for itself, even if he has trouble doing so.

You're blaming Bush for 9/11 even though he hadn't even been in office a year? That may not be the dumbest thing I've ever seen, but it definitely makes the top 5 list.

Examples, if you please. There's nothing like having plenty of cases to back up your accusations.

So the Vice President just sits around and masterbates all day? I hope Cheney has a Viagra prescription.

No, his daddy's friends run the show.
That's been evident from day one - the only administration that *needs* handicapp access into the white house.

For a second there I thought we were talking about the guy who hosts the crossing over tv show.
