John Edwards Is A Loser

...I'd rather vote for John Edwards than a Ronald Reagan adoring Barack Obama. No Thank you.

2. O'Donnell is another DLC shit for brains

Last week he was bashing Kucinich, this week Edwards. All coinciding with the Al From talking points of the week.

4. Obama's pilgrimage to Bloomberg for consultation speaks volumes

"The pair of politicians discussed a number of domestic issues, including education, climate change and homeland security, Loeser said. He said the meeting was not about joining forces on a ticket or against Obama's chief opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton."

BTW, Obama picked up the tab for the billionaire's free lunch. Wall Street will be well treated by an Obama presidency I can expect.

5. Edwards will pick up delegates in sufficient numbers he will play a central

role in who the dem. candidate becomes at the convention. He needs to stay in all the way. He helps Obama by doing so if you believe a post at MyDD.

6. Oh that's the way to flatter Edwards and get him to comply with your wishes O'Donnell

What a fucking idiot. But as an Edwards supporter, and an Obama disliker, I'm glad this belligerent idiot can't control himself and will make it even more likely Edwards will remain the race to the bitter end, or the surprise victory. I'd certainly stay in the race just to give the finger to some asshole calling me a "loser" on Huffington Post.

9. I'm still grateful to O'Donnell for kirking out on the Swift boat guy but this is wrong.

They set the damn game up so you can't win then they call you a loser.

That's what they did with Edwards That's what they've always done with Kucinich.

O'Donnell ought to precede any critique of "losers" with the biggest "losers" and anti-democracy forces
ever, the mainstream media, the politicalwhoresonline.com, the domestic PR firm for The Money Party.

10. Thursday night on Olbermann O'Donnell made the

outrageous statement that Nevada caucus goers aren't "sharp enough" to realize Reagan was anti-union. He also said only people on the "far left" don't like Reagan.

If I didn't know he was supporting Obama, I would have thought he was a repuke. If he's DLC, he might as well be.

11. O'Donnell's comment was indeed outrageous. I had to replay it because

Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 12:41 PM by sofedupwithbush

I was awed by its preposterousness. I used to admire the guy because of his involvement in "The West Wing" and mistakenly considered him a fellow lefty. What a tool. He and Andrea Mitchell ought to hook up -- she fairly slathers when she waxes rhapsodic about about Ronnie. Between Dana Milbank snarking about Kucinich (doesn't the DU spell-checker recognize "snark" or "Kucinich"?!?) and O'Donnell going ga-ga over Raygun, "Countdown" is becoming *almost* as painful to watch as the *other* guys.

12. I hate Dana Milbank. I realize KO is contractually

obligated to put him on since he's some sort of an MSNBC talking head, but he's just a waste of space. KO must have very little say as to who he calls on for commentary.
