31. John Edwardes "used you" ?

Thu May 31, 2012, 08:37 PM

May 2012

How?
Did you know him personally?
You seem to know his mind on an intimate level to judge him as harshly as you do.

John Kennedy had the same problems in his personal life that John Edwards does.
He was perhaps an even more prolific Hound Dog,
and a very effective legislator and a GREAT Democrat.

When did we start judging our Democrats based on problems in their personal life?
Is there a list somewhere I can check to see what the new basis is?
Obviously, cheering into a microphone is now on the bad Democrat list.
How many Democrats do we now cast stones at for being unfaithful in their married life?

I want Democrats to effectively represent ME and MY Working Class Issues.
I don't want to marry them.
I couldn't care less what they do behind closed doors.
