Yet Another Difference Between Democrats And Republicans

13. I Don't Want John Edwards Back Either

I admit, I got suckered in by his act in 2004. But when I found out what he was actually all about, I could never support him again. The entire point of my post was to illustrate that when Democrats find out a guy they once supported is a scumbag, his career is over, but when Republicans, the Party of Personal Responsibility and Family Values, find out the same thing, they just wait until the person's transgressions are far enough in the rear-view mirror that they think no one will remember. I guess when you're used to supporting scumbags 99% of the time, one that's a little scummier than the others doesn't really make all that much difference.

And yes, I thought choosing John Edwards as a running mate in 2004 was a major blunder by John Kerry as well. I thought Gephardt would have been a much better, more strategic choice. By the way, I also thought he should have given major consideration to your boy Graham as well (simply for the Florida connection).

If you're thinking you recognize me from the old John Kerry boards back in 2004, then you're right. I was a regular there (and I think I remember you as well). I jumped over to John Kerry's bandwagon as soon as Howard Dean (a guy I still admire and would support to this day) dropped out of the race, and I worked my ass off for the man and poured my entire heart and soul into his campaign. I was so devastated when he lost that it literally took me about 3 days before I was even able to function again.
