John Edwards To Address Nation After Numbnuts:

[EV_Ares]

Tonight, after President Bush makes yet another argument for continuing the war in Iraq, John Edwards will speak directly to the American people in a nationwide address on MSNBC.

Our campaign has bought airtime on MSNBC immediately following the President's address at 9 p.m., and John Edwards will challenge the President's remarks with a strong call to the nation to end the war now.

Please watch in that timeframe—and forward this e-mail to your friends, asking them to watch as well. Each of us has a responsibility to make sure that President Bush and Congress understand that the time for excuses has run out. John Edwards will deliver a strong message tonight on our behalf. It's time to end this war and bring our troops home.

Buying this kind of airtime is expensive. But we believe that President Bush's address must be countered with a strong voice in opposition to the failed policies that have kept our troops in harm's way for far too long. Tonight, John Edwards will continue to lead, and make the case to the nation that we cannot wait for an election to change course in Iraq—we as citizens must make Washington understand that the time to end this war is now.

Don't miss John's address tonight on MSNBC, immediately following the President.

President Bush will be on every network for free tonight. Our campaign will have to pay for the time on MSNBC so that John Edwards can challenge the President's failed policies. Please consider making a contribution to the campaign—to help us meet the costs of paying for tonight's address—and to help John's campaign continue to grow.

1. Anti-Edwards DUers to post numerous attacks after address

Not part of the announcment, of course, but that's my prediction.

Oops, my mistake. I'm sure they won't wait till after the address.

[Mythsaje]

2. Yes, they're a rabid bunch, aren't they? n/t

[DavidDvorkin]

9. I don't understand the hatred

It reminds me of the hatred of the two Clintons, mainly on the right but also on the left. It goes beyond -- has little to do with -- disagreements with policies.

[Mythsaje]

10. Definitely...

I don't hate Hillary. I don't KNOW her. But I disagree with her stances on many issues. Which is why I oppose her candidacy. For me, the Issues are the thing.

24. I Heard It On C-Span This AM... But Was Gone Most Of The Day...AND

YES, they're probably "chomping" at the bit right now! So sad, but I'll just IGNORE it. I'm sure it will GO on FOR DAYS!!!! Besides I'm not sure WHEN The Idiot is going to SQUAWK and I won't EVER watch him. Guess I'll see it here at DU!

Go, Johnny, GO!!!!

[renie408]

12. And Hillary supporters will point out that Edwards is just wasting his time

Hillary has already won.

[mzmolly]

3. Edwards keeps moving up in my book.

Of the current list of candidates he's my numero uno. He has surpassed Obama as my personal front runner. ;)

[IndianaGreen]

4. This is great news!

I look forward to hearing what Edwards has to say.

I also expect to read in DU the usual anti-Edwards drivel from the vaginal politics crowd (vote for me, I'm a woman), and the nostalgia politics crowd (vote for me, I'm a Clinton).

[polichick]

5. Which networks will air numbnut's speech?

I want to catch JE without exposing myself to the latest pack of lies from the WH.

[Catchawave]

19. Olbermann will be doing the pre and post game shows on MSNBC

that's where I'll be :hi:

[polichick]

22. Keith is the best...

I'll do the pre and post game show ~ and skip the game itself!

[Hieronymus]

26. Rachel Maddow will join the panel .. love her.

[zulchzulu]

6. We'll see how he spins how he made a mistake trusting Bush in the first place

I would hope he mentions that... we'll see...

[obnoxiousdrunk]

7. He will

apologise for the speech afterward.

[renie408]

13. And it looks like some of the rabidly anti-Edwards are getting a head start. n/t

[EV_Ares]

14. Oh well, WTF, don't give a dam. It is quite clear with Edwards we

would get change if he got elected president. The unions would finally have some WH support. It is already almost a certainty that with Hillary, we will get more of the same as we are getting now. A lot of people tend to keep their eyes closed it seems.

[renie408]

15. And some people can't keep track of an entire thread.

I don't have my eyes closed. I was referring to the earlier post predicting that the anti-Edwards faction on the DU would be out in force after his speech.

I have always been an Edwards supporter, from win I voted for him for Senator of NC.

[EV_Ares]

18. Hey, LOL, I knew that. I was just supporting your post. It was to you

in support of Edwards. Certainly wasn't talking about a fellow Edwards supporter. Anyway, sorry for the wording where it got misunderstood.

[renie408]

20. LOL...no problem. n/t

[IndyOp]

8. Excellent! I'll watch DU to see when John starts - someone please post then...

I cannot bring myself to turn on * -- I will find out what he says as he says it by reading DU, I just can't bear listening to him.

[EV_Ares]

16. I know how you feel. I feel the same with that shrill voice of Hillary's. eom.

[monmouth]

11. No matter who you support, this is important and needs to be supported.

Whether it be John Edwards, Hillary, Dennis or Obama or Dodd, these people are "ours." Let us not quibble which one of "ours" is doing it.

[superkia]

21. Or Dennis Kucinich. Damn media has made him non existent!

[Catchawave]

17. Here's a sneak peek....

[superkia]

23. Only part of that I didnt like was about congress giving him more time.

I think it points out to people that many voted to give this moron power to go to war and then continue to support it with funds for political reasons. People should never die for political reasons. I would have left that out.

[MichDem10]

25. Can't wait!

Looking forward to listening to the whole message. I will be making another donation!

[mantis]

[MalloyLiberal]
