It sometimes happens when one has interests outside of A2K.

This should surprise no one. Don't think for one minute the baby channeler won't get every fraction of a mile he can get out of his wife's misfortune. To win his biggest Lawsuit: "Edwards spoke to the jury for an hour and a half without referring to notes. It was an emotional appeal that made reference to his son, Wade, who had been killed shortly before testimony began in the trial." This scumbag will do anything to win.

So he relates his own personal loss with the personal loss of his client when appealing to the jury.

Isn't that the way people relate to each other?

That evil John Edwards. He'll do anything to win-even refer to painful incidents in his own life when asking a jury to appreciate the pain in his client's life.

From an article BBB posted in another of the Edwards threads:

Quote:

And who are these people who have the audacity to demand that her husband's election campaign come to a screeching halt because they're convinced it will somehow be more reassuring to the Edwards children? "Yes, Daddy was running for president but Mommy will probably be dead in a few years, so it's very important that we all stop whatever else we were doing and concentrate Only On That."

I agree that to demand Edwards end his campaign would be audacious.

He is certainly free to do so as he has demonstrated. I simply find his ego amazing, as I do the egos of all of the other candidates. This is just a particularly keen manifestation of that ego.

Irrespective of his wife's unfortunate illness, the man is a hyprocrite. While he takes a populist stance promising, in one form or another, redistribution of wealth, he builds himself a 20,000 sq ft mansion.

If he redistributes 75% of his wealth he will still be a millionaire. I'm not sure how that squares with his populist rhetoric.

So on the one hand you admit it would take some nerve to call for Edwards to end his campaign, then turn right around and claim it is egotistical for him NOT to do so.

It looks like BBB's post exposed your position as silly and ill-thought out, and now you are trying to recover.

If he wants tax cuts to be reverted, that means he himself would pay a lot more tax again too. That doesnt seem too hypocritical a position.

I've also always been puzzled in general by the rhetorical anger about rich people who argue for redistribution, as invariably it seems that those expressing it apparently think a lot worse of people who are rich but plead for redistribution (higher taxes, greater aid, whatever) than about rich people who, well, dont give a damn. Cause you dont hear them all angry about those.

But how is a rich guy who at least tries to bring about some social change a worse man than a rich guy who doesnt give a F in the first place?

It looks like, once again, you are speaking from an orifice other than your mouth.

It is audacious to demand that he cease his campaign.

It is a reflection of his ego that he does not.

I'm not sure why you find these two statements so much at odds.

I am not demanding that he cease his campaign. What point would there be in such an audacious move?

I am certainly not trying to "recover," as I have not stumbled.

The apparent way you think does not surprise me that you might believe that the simple statement of an opinion must be a demand for compliance.
I appreciate that this the way of Liberals, but I am not a Liberal.
