and that, my well-read friend, is just a bit of democratic propaganda

Well, that's pretty interesting since the network newscasts had it on film/videotape. I didn't read it. I saw it.

I will happily agree that both sides are waging disgusting, sometimes disgraceful campaigns.

I remember seeing a videotape of that on the news as well.

And the Bush campaign isn't? Both sides have done a disgusting amount of mudslinging, so no one's innocent--and don't delude yourself into thinking they are.

Dems/liberals/"hippies" are a "Jerry Springer-type crowd?" Screwing people off of GC on a regular basis sounds pretty Springer-esque to me.

I'd rather be a hippie than a fat WHORE.

Damn

that's a huge freakin leap of assumption you took to get that from my post.

How about you read and comprehend it, instead of looking for little comments and an opportunity for a personal attack.

I'm saying that they are both trying to appeal to all Americans, even the lowest common denominator(hence the Springer comment) and that neither Bush nor Kerry have anything in common with that crowd.

Once again, GC personality issues have clouded your vision to the main point of my comment. Incidentally, not to let facts get in the way of your fun, but one person that i'm still friends with is hardly "screwing people on a regular basis". Not that you or your misinformed island buddy have the first clue of what went on that night.

Here's a question.

How did the media catch wind of this "tradition"?

Was there a press release? Was it just casually mentioned? This is blatantly stealing a page out of Clinton's campaign book. Anyone remember those trips to McDonalds?

[Munchkin03]

It's in this week's Time, which I read during my hair appointment this morning. They also mentioned that he wears "cheap digital watches" and how his wife wears the same $11 ring he gave her on their wedding day. Kind of like how he keeps his working-class values, I guess.

As for Kitso--doesn't it suck when political arguments become indictments of one's personal life? Sounds a little Whitewater-esque to me, but maybe it's just the vast left-wing conspiracy. We're all out to get you.

Your chattering about your sex life is ruining this wonderful thread about a hot vice presidential candidate and his lovely wife and their happy anniversary. Everything after "Incidentally," was TMI.

Attorneys are not working class.

The cheap digital watches and the $11 dollar ring.. how did Time find out these specific things?

Don't tell me that one of Edwards' campaign people told them

In this case, I don't think it's a long shot to be cynical when it comes to the intention of all of this nonsense. They are simply trying to portray him as Joe Blow. So far, they've been doing a great job.

Because they follow them everywhere now. And ask every question in the world of anyone who has ever known them.

Don't you really think that both campaigns would like this "common man" thing to go away?

As I said before, every single one of the four is rich.

[The1calledTKE]

I think Edwards is going for the common man thing since he was not born rich. He is a self made millionare.

edwards takes his wife to wendy's for their anniversary.....all i have to say is, "and?"

and to bring personal attacks in here is ridiculous. the instigator of the attack needs to relax....uncalled for.

Of course. And he's doing a great job. People are completely buying it.

Well he is a democrat senator from NC, a state that is a Republican strong hold. Some people must buy it.

It was an interview/profile. I'm only repeating what I read--not saying whether or not it was true. Don't kill the messenger, okay?

Well, he wasn't RAISED by an attorney. In fact, his father was a mill worker who moved the family around a lot in order to find better-paying jobs. I imagine being raised poor or "working-class" leaves a certain amount of financial prudence with you--which may or may not change if you do well. Sometimes, you espouse the values of your social situation growing up--not necessarily the one you're in now.

This whole convo is tired, kids. So, he eats at Wendy's once a year. If this sways someone's vote, they have other problems that need to be addressed. It doesn't make him trashy, or ironically, "Springer-esque."

Irrespective of anything else.....

As Rudey said,

At least they're eating in a restaurant founded by an American with one of the kindest hearts ever.

Dave Thomas was an amazing man. It is so sad to know that he is not quietly making the world a better place anymore.....
