#1 Hey John: Keep digging, I know that eventually even you can hit bottom. And I know that this is really sure to win over vets. Please send me two of your bumper stickers; one to sh!t on and the other to cover it up. digital pix available

#2 As preposterous as Edwards is (not to mention loathsome, in both his political and ~~shakedown artist~~ liability lawyer's roles, it's pretty depressing that a candidate could even suggest this and still be politically alive.

#3 It's a test, Mr. Verlaine. I am hoping to get folks to join my parade, and lead the Country out of the Bush swamp-morrass to flowers and full employment and a great economy.

What? We have two of those things? Who says? Flowers all used up after Mother's Day?

#4 Get a four hundred dollar haircut. Count your money. Explore another uncharted section of your fifty thousand square foot home. Ask your wife how that cancer thingie's going...

#7 Hey John, just a reminder as to who gave their blood and sacrificed their lives so that you could lead a protest on Memorial Day. Your time could be better spent visiting and thanking soldiers in a V.A. hospital, VFW, AMVET or a Vet's shelter instead of what your are proposing.

It is the Soldier

It's the soldier, not the reporter who has given us Freedom of the Press.

It's the soldier, not the poet, who has given us
Freedom of Speech.

It's the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate.

It's the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the Right to a Fair Trial.

It's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives the protester the right to burn the flag.

Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

#8 Get a four hundred dollar haircut. Count your money. Explore another uncharted section of your fifty thousand square foot home. Ask your wife how that cancer thingie's going...

And don't forget your speaking fee!

#10 Move the quotation mark, #9 CS, and you've got a plan.

"John Edwards it the BIGGEST Idiot running for President. And that's saying something."

Happy to help. :-D

#12 I don't know, Sarge, the dummycritters have a full stable of idiots. It'd be hard to distinguish who is more stupid, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Barrack Obama, Chris Dodd, John F'n Kerry (who is "not running, in order to be drafted"), Bill Richardson, and so on. That cast of characters can even make Ron Paul look halfway intelligent. Now THAT'S saying something!

#13 Sorry, nothing can make Ron Paul look halfway intelligent.
