Sounds like Novacula is trying to cast Elizabeth Edwards as another… *gasp* Hillary. Why hasn’t someone put a stake through this guys heart?

I’m a day late on this one, but #37 hit part of my thought regarding Novak’s motives…

There’s a syndication contingent of aging boomers spread out all over, and the subliminal effect of saying this about Elizabeth Edwards is effective because to white bread surburbia folk who detested Clinton for every reason under the sun, which in the end had nothing to do with his policies or accomplishments, this brings them back (whether they know it or not) to a comfortable place, a familiar frame of mind that not only allows them to dislike someone because they’re a Democrat, but to hate them because of something they can’t quite put their finger on…

Labor equals family which tastes good when covered in values…and there you have it, a dynamic to pry Edwards away from his potential swing voters who would rather vote with their puritan instincts when it comes down to possibly crossing over…because the last thing they want to think about before dying is that they helped another kinky elitist embarrass us all…

Always strikes me as pathetic how (and I know several of these types, many live right around me) needless carnage like the kind in Iraq provokes no shame, yet the misdeeds of Clinton are unforgivable.

Novak is speaking subliminally to these people. And they’re just the kind to get the local two-bit paper with his formeldahyde-heavy face on the back of section A, giving them the inside-scoop…shit, I’m getting sick just picturing the guy.

I don’t know about you, but when I see people either censoring or advocating the censorship of the same things, I must assume that they have the same mindset.

And in the case of the Republicans and the Communists, and based on their censoring or advocating the censorship of the same things, then the only conclusion that can be drawn is that they are all control-freak, monopolistic, authoritarian conservatives.

In other words, the old-fashioned, so-called leftist versus rightist designations no longer hold any water for me. The Communist, anti-union leaders of the Old Soviet Union had the same ideological foundation as the anti-union Republican Party of today…control-freak, monopolistic, authoritarian conservatives.

This explains a whole lot about what is happening in America. Liberal Democrats, Libertarian Republicans and freedom-loving Independents are facing Corporate Communists, Christian Communists, Islamo-Communists, as well as numerous other control-freak, monopolistic, authoritarian conservatives, hell-bent on subjugating everyone else to their control-freak, monopolistic, authoritarian conservative agenda.

I pray that our liberal democracy with our liberal democratic principles will prevail.

Merry Christmas, y’all.

Nancy Reagan was the last competent First Lady (or Madame Presidentress, as we used to say in the 19th century). She could do the First Lady thing and meantime whisper sage council in Ronnie’s ear. Barbara Bush didn’t seem to have any effect; she probably did not have the standing to tell George when he was fucking up. And she obviously had no class. Hillary Clinton got out in front and when her health care project went down in flames, Bill could not fire her: he could not create closure for the fiasco and it hurt him. Laura Bush has no ability to slap George around and make him see reason.

Ms. Edwards clearly has what it takes to serve as the political rudder in the background, and pull off the whole First Lady thing as well.

Dang! Still not accurately strong enough!!

Please help–If only for the sake of honest, accurate reporting!

that clip with matthews led me to contact the edwards website and ask to be put on a list of volunteers for my state if he runs for the presidency.

when he first came on the scene, i figured he was kind of a bob forehead sort of guy – and i’d never paid much attention to him or his wife.

i liked what he had to say about the war and i liked that his wife felt comfortable speaking up. why have her on the show if her input wasn’t needed? its not like another robo-wife would have added anything.

as a two time breast cancer survivor (two boobs, two seperate cancers)-whose husband stuck by me wonderfully – i admire that he too stuck by her. it’s amazing to me how many stories i’ve heard from other survivors about husbands and boyfriends doing exactly as newt. i appreciate matthews and novak drawing the attention of women like me to the edwards family.

I just wanted to tell you your post affected me – in a good way.

I don’t have cancer but a physical disability and a wonderful husband that has “stuck”.

I admire John and Elizabeth and will gladly support him!

twolf1 at 6 — holy crap! And why am I feeling the need to rush out to the store and stock up on milk and other staples…

Your just now getting that feeling? If last week in the Northwest wasn’t a warning (I had 80 mph winds, down trees, no power, temps just above zero before wind chill factored in…)get those candles, blankets and emergency radio’s out and find someone to snuggle with (keep the water running slowly to prevent pipe freeze even though every other part of home and body will freeze…..)
