Edwards' "Groundhog Day"
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 02:27 PM by bigtree
From CBS News' Aaron Lewis: http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/01/29/politics/fromtheroad/entry3765260.shtml


Union hall in Springfield, Mo.

TULSA, OKLA. January 29, 2008, 12:36 PM -- Bill Murray was nowhere to be found in the House of Representatives last night. But according to John Edwards, George Bush's State of the Union address looked like one of Murray's movies about repeating the same daily routines over and over again.

"What I heard was more tax cuts for big business, more illegal spying on the American people, and everything's going great in Iraq; if we just stay on course and keep doing the same thing for the next however many of years, everythings just gonna be fine," said Edwards. "Boy, it sounded like 'Groundhog Day' to me. We've heard all this before."

The comments came at the top of his speech to 400 supporters inside a local Transport Workers Union hall.

Following the speech Edwards took questions from reporters. After answering for the umpteenth time whether he'll be dropping out of the race ("I'm in it for the long haul"), one reporter asked him if he' sick of being asked the question.

"It no longer affects me at all," said Edwards. "Now I'm being asked since just before Iowa, so it has no impact at all."

3. Good for Edwards for not bothering with stupid questions.
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 02:37 PM by Merlot
Last night ABC refered to him as "the other candidate" when discussing the results of South Carolina. He gets 18% of the vote and they call him "the other candidate" like they can't remember his name.

Oh no, the media isn't framing this race.. ; P

5. Bush's Economic Theory
:banghead: Georgie's economic theory is "Less is more" that is for the bottom 98 percentile of the American public. According to "Bushy Baby" we should be able to live on less, give more and proudly wear our flag pins and smile.
