Reply #189: Since Edwards is proven Courage-lite

[Pithy Cherub]

why give him the nuclear football when his judgment has been off-the-charts awful on critical national security issues. He's a decent enough guy that's playing out way of his weightclass with an extraordinary deficit in national security. Edwards is not presidential timber even after a classy apology after the Worst. Ever. made-in-America Debacle he co-sponsored after already authoring portions of the Patriot Act. Really bad judgment and an inability to stand on Principle is a dealbreaker for me.

The fact that he regrets his actions is not a platform to say now make me president after joining Bush on the Titanic when people clearly told him it had hit the iceberg already. So now he wants to grab the tattered rags of his Honor and run for president as if just saying he's sorry makes it alright for him to be president. That's not even logical. :crazy:

There are many other ways that he can atone and live a life of meaning and service, just not as president. That vote nullified him.
