Edwards Trial - Kicking the Corpse of the Progressive Dream
Last edited Tue Apr 24, 2012, 09:16 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Like Anthony Wiener, it seems real progressives get stopped before they ever get started... like Spitzer when he started breathing down the neck of the banksters... not defending the faults of these men, but I really think there is a pattern and it always seems to work out in favor of the elite and their puppets...
Shouldn't that be boning the girlfriend of the progressive dream? I mean, come on - only a DUmmy could call an ambulance-chasing Breck girl a progressive. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002605550)
Oh, boo hoo, DUmmy. Your man is a scumbag and he's going away because of it.
Malaise points out a fact and gets poo-pooed:

13. that was a gop talking point
...and a lame one at that. But, I gather frrom your post you don't feel Edwards was a progressive.
Left wing phrase for 'fact I don't like': right wing talking point.

24. A trip to wiki proves Edwards credentials
As a progressive to shame most other democrats. The man was waging a WAR ON POVERTY, advocated housing vouchers for poor families, and was a strong advocate for UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. HELLO!!!
Also a strong advocate for having secret *****.
Another unpleasant fact for Rielle, er, Unionworks:

30. Another rethug talking point
"Millionaire liberals in their mansions, keeping their supporters poor by making them depend on entitlements".
I love it. Keep it up, DUmmies.

Seems to me that all of these "progressive heroes" have serious issues with moral failings and making bad choices. I think we should be thankful that most of them implode before they get serious power.

What's untrue about that? Do liberals not keep the poor in poverty and dependent on the government so they can get their votes?

He doesn't even own a comb.
Now that's a real progressive.

Oh quit, Edwards is a slime ball regardless of his political or religious leanings. A real Grafter out to fleece the public and family.
His girlfriend and his so called friends that all engaged in this sordid mess, are no better then he is. He is not the first to have a love child, not the first to use public money to support them.
I remember DR Zhivago movie, people steaming out of the theater in tears. Me, I was discusted that a Doctor left his wife in labor to look for his lost love. Great love story my Ass, this was betrayal of a wife and child. Then the song Laura's theme drove me nuts. All about what she wanted and to hell with anyone else.
So Edwards reminds me of that movie, living a double life and betraying friends and family all for Lust. Then everyone felt SORRY for him.
This was way back in the 1960's, the beginning to the entitlement generation that was all out for what they want and to hell with anyone else. They may have felt guilty for 30 seconds but " I love my family BUT, oh you Kid "
This knee jerk reaction on my part I place myself in the position of a wife that spends their youth working for her husbands carear, rises his what 4-5 kids and just as both their dreams are close to his carear she finds she is in the battle of her life CANCER. Now she needs his support as she has given him for years and he is off gallivanting about with his pregnant Mistress.
To make matters worse the stress increases for her when this goes public, the shame of a woman cast aside as not a good enough wife for her husband. The last few months of her life with him fighting to be kept in her Will, him fighting to keep the property her family left to her.

Wasn't this taken just before his epic shredding by Dick Cheney?

John Edwards Called Mistress Rielle Hunter a 'Crazy Slut,' Says Witness
By Sharon Cotliar

When John Edwards learned that Rielle Hunter was pregnant with his child, he reacted with disbelief – and a verbal swipe at his mistress, a witness testified Tuesday.
"She's a 'crazy slut,' " former aide Andrew Young says Edwards told him.
<snipped>
During that call, Young testified that Edwards said, "There's a one-in-three chance [the child] was his."

Unionworks is a real whackjob looneytune. We've seen him before. Dumb as a box of rocks. He NEVER considers someone else's answer or POV. It's just forge ahead with whatever unionworks thinks.
He apparently never heard of the term "pwned." Someone said it, and he laughed at their typo. :loser:
"Right-wing talking point." After which Snake Alchemist posted a photo of the Edwardian Mansion. Isn't it maddening when they do that? "THAT'S JUST A TALKING POINT!"

Exactly! I don't want anyone who flashes his pecker or puts up a bimbo that is carrying his out of wedlock child child, all the while his wife is battling breast cancer, anywhere near havin' the power to effect our lives!
Both of the guys he mentions in the OP are downright immoral asshole scoundrels that should be in jail! Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars! Go directly to jail!
Gee...let's see...an idiot named unionworks. UNION...works. Hmm.
Yep! Tells me all I need to know.

I expect the NAGs will be on this any minute now, all the feminazis at DU will be up in arms as well. :rotf:

They're such natural-born suckers for any slicky-boy who tells them the lies they want to hear. Sad, really.

Now that's a real progressive.
Tell me he at least has a lice comb for his scraggly beard!

Go hang some drapes or something.
No, no BS for you...this time.
