It will not hide the fact that on several KEY VOTES (Patriot Act, Homeland Security, Bankruptcy Reform, China Trade, Intelligence Reform, Military Authorization, FCC Media Ownership, etc.) Edwards "fell down," and "fell down" BADLY. It does not matter to many here (including myself) how he voted on Supplemental Appropriations Bills or Infrastructure, or how OTHER Dems voted. It simply matters how HE, John Edwards voted on the KEY ISSUES of the day.
I also notice that you fail to post anything Edwards said regarding those votes at the time. Good idea, because many of us have forgotten just how "gung ho" Edwards was regarding war and the pending police state at the time. His current rhetoric, disavowing these votes as aberrations and mistakes, does NOTHING to help his cause, either, as it merely shows him to be hypocritical.
The Democratic Party needs a LEADER badly at the moment.
We cannot afford another "Flip-Flop" flap, "HaircutGate," "HouseGate," or "InvestmentGate."
The next President of the United States of America MUST come from the Democratic Party, or the United States of America may very well cease to exist as we know it. Many of us believe this. Edwards has already shown ONLY that he can LOSE TWICE. To put it more simply, the USA needs a winner, and John Edwards ain't it.
