I won't support Edwards any more.....
me supporting a candidate, a football team, a NASCAR driver or even an American Idol candidate is the friggin' kiss of death.

I apologize to all Edwards supporters everywhere.

No apologies necessary.

3. I thought it was me
I supported Kucinich until yesterday. Today, my heart was with Obama but I thought it would be best to caucus for Edwards come Feb. 5th. I like his health care plan so much.

This is way worse than being a thread killer!

Who do you like the least? We'll head over there as a team, and watch their numbers drop like crazy!

:rofl:

Keep your chin up, we'll either somehow elect Edwards, or there'll be another 4-8 years of crap in the White House.

14. Ok....
you and me, kiss of death, Obama. See you there!

God, it's really fucking depressing. A football team can be kicking ass and I start cheering for them and the quarterback fumbles, the kicker breaks his toe and the wide receiver passes out. What the hell is that all about?

18. Brokered convention = Al Gore/ Edwards
Brokered convention = Al Gore/ Edwards

BYE BYE OBAMA REAGAN CORPORATIST. BYE BYE HILLARY CORPORATIST!

I really don´t like Hillary, but after Edwards, she´s the only one that can win old guy like McCain.

In the worst administration of the United States, the republicans with old dog like McCain have a chance of winning one more time the presidency. Unbelievable!

Democrats always follow what the RIGHT WING MEDIA wants. They all are happy if the OBAMA is the nominee. They are all laughing at you.

It´s unbelievable how you did treat one of the best presidents in the history of the USA. Yes, Bill Clinton. As i much i don´t like Hillary, i cannot agree with the bashing on Bill. In the other hand we see a guy that praise Reagan and humiliate Bill. Well Reagan must be for must of you like a roll model. Oh my god.

One thing is the hate you have to Hillary, other thing is forgetting what Bill Clinton did for your country and the world. I´m really very disappointed with some people.


I hope Edwards go to the convention, and Al Gore be the nominee to unite the party, and give the VP to Big John Edwards.

Go John! Go Go! Edwards you´re the best!

Don´t forget that i never failed who would win the GE since 1980. It´s little bit of history repeating! Will see!


Sorry for my bad english.

I´ll donate from here some more money to the Edwards campaign. I want him in the convention, because i think is the only one that can turn around this anti-americanism that i never seen in Europe for 50 years.


From Europe with love...

I can watch one episode of a new tv show and get it canceled.

The University of Alabama football team has not won a game with me present since the 80's. (No, I don't even think about going to any of the big games.)

Sigh.

40. I understand your feelings, I got behind Richardson this year--Hell, I made Secretariat lose.
Some of us are the kiss of death to candidates. Mine in the past have been Gary Hart, Jerry Brown, Bill Bradley, Jesse Jackson--you get the picture.

Hell, I bet on Secretariat when he lost to those racing immortals Prove Out and Onion. Some people said he was sick, others said that Prove Out and Onion's trainer, Allen (the Giant Killer) Jerkens had figured out that if he had his jockey slow the pace enough the big horse would get bored and fail to fire. Forget it, I know it was those $2.00 bets.

The one time I bet on a horse that I was a fan of that actually came in was $20 put on the nose of the immortal John Henry ridden in his last race by the great Bill Shoemaker. Much to my, and everyone else's delight, John Henry came in by four lengths.

As I raced to the window, I looked at the tickets and realized that my boyfriend had put my $20 on the wrong horse.

that really sucks! It's a good think I don't gamble I guess.

I will say that I supported Chris Daughtry who lost American Idol one year and he has become quite a star in spite of losing. I comfort myself with that thought. ;)

45. Also thread killer here
I've had bad luck all my life. Married a guy who was going to inherit wealth, he divorced me and our kid a few years before his parents died. Now he's rich and we're living in an inner city house. Yup, life can suck.

But, the good news is...........John Edwards came into our lives. At least one candidate speaks for us. I am hoping every day that Rezko and Bill's flings torpedo their run. Is that wrong? Am I bad for wanting someone so much to speak for the poor and invisible?

Damn, damn, damn all of us losers for supporting a guy who thinks we're more than that.

Go John!

than to keep you from being the last post which would reinforce you thinking you are a thread killer.
