Reply #3: As a Kucinich supporter, I'm glad Edwards is saying what he is [View All]

as someone in the Democratic Party NEEDS TO! Kucinich is out of the race, BUT, of all the candidates, he didn't have to say why he changed his mind (and it's okay to change your mind at times), BECAUSE these were his positions from the beginning (well, other than "choice").

I posted this knowing who Krauthhamer is, certainly don't agree with his positions and assessments of even the Repubs. At this point, I still support Edwards because he is drawing attention to what needs attending AND he is using public financing for his campaign. What caught me in this op-ed was the following quote by Russ Feingold:
"The one (presidential candidate) that is the most problematic is Edwards," Sen. Russ Feingold told The Post-Crescent in Appleton, Wis., "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."
I think this does something to Edwards credibility - how can it not? BUT, like I said, regardless of his past votes, he is taking the stands that I want a Democrat to take.
