Edwards Launches White House Bid for ‘08, ‘12 and ‘16

by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 74 Comments · · Print This Story Print This Story

(2006-12-28) — With just 23 months before the next presidential election, former Sen. John Edwards, D-NC, announced today that he would seek the Democrat nomination for president in 2008, 2012 and 2016, but refused to comment on his plans for 2020.

“Americans are looking for a candidate with experience running for president,” said an unnamed campaign spokesman. “In 2018, when John Edwards is 65, he’ll have spent 16 years seeking the office and have four campaigns under his belt. We think that will position him well for victory in 2020.”

While the candidate sought to deflect questions about his longterm plans, the anonymous source said Mr. Edwards would file papers with the Federal Election Commission next week forming a 2020 presidential exploratory committee.

The Edwards ‘08-12-16 campaign timed today’s announcement to coincide with this week’s death of former President Gerald Ford, “another great, and handsome, man who was never elected to the White House.”

In launching his campaign in front of a federally-funded trailer of a hurricane Katrina victim in New Orleans, Mr. Edwards recalled his 2004 stump speech in which he frequently said there are “two Americas.”

“Since 2004, I have learned a lot,” said Mr. Edwards. “I think history and geography have proved me right. If you look at the map, there are in fact two Americas — North America and South America.”

The former vice presidential candidate quoted the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, saying America must overcome racial and socioeconomic prejudices to unite as “one nation, underprivileged, indivisible, with subsidy and justice for all.”

    Hey Guyz,

    The “Breck Guy”, John Edwards, from East Virginia, (dang, you guyz are sooo lame!) and all Democrats should be concerned with this:

    HBO is running a documentary called “Hacking Democracy”, it deals in part with the corruption, and fraud of the Diebold Corporation in the 2000 and the 2004 elections.

    The documentary reveals the presence of an executable file in the memory cards of Diebold voting machines, and demonstrates how the addition of a couple of lines of code into that exe file can produce a rigged election outcome on those machines.

    In the 2000 election Gore actually received a minus 6200 vote count (that is a subtraction of 6200 votes) in Volusia County, Florida. This anomaly affected only the presidential and vice-presidential vote on those machines.

    I thought you’d want to know. More information to follow next year! You know, NEXT YEAR, wink, wink, elbow!

  • 15 everthink // Dec 28, 2006 at 10:01 am

    I Googled:

    “America must overcome racial and socioeconomic prejudices to unite as “one nation, underprivileged, indivisible, with subsidy and justice for all.”

    and:

    “one nation, underprivileged, indivisible, with subsidy and justice for all.”

    I got no hits! Zero, Zelch!

    So, I guess, “The Botox Breck Guy from East Virginia must have said that in a private conversation with the editorial staff of Scrappleface.

    If so, he’s as dumb as George Bush, and that’s saying quite alot!

    After all, if HBO / CBS / ABC / CNN / NBC say it’s true, it MUST be true, right?

    I hear HBO is doing a special on the hundreds of people who’ve disappeared after they removed the tags on their mattresses. I guess they’re going to present evidence that they’re being held in a special detention facility at GITMO. The real shocker is that this was all secretly approved by the Haliburton Board of Directors and Donald Rumsfeld.

    But, what if: “State of California commissioned its own independent study, Diebold was ordered to cooperate with the study, and all of the scientists said, “The hack is real, and it is dangerous.” And they found 16 additional vulnerabilities. You have to sort of decide who it is that has more credibility - a manufacturer that wants to sell a system or six independent scientists commissioned by the State of California.”

    HBO is running a documentary called “Hacking Democracy”, it deals in part with the corruption, and fraud of the Diebold Corporation in the 2000 and the 2004 elections.

    Should read: “HBO is running a crockumentary…” And if he saw in on PBS then it most certainly must be true. Left-wing kook conspiracy theories. Buwahahahahaha! Of course it doesn’t matter that the major news networks (and no it wasn’t FOX News, that left-wing lie was thoroughly debunked by Richard Miniter) calling Florida for Gore when the conservative panhandle of Florida hadn’t finished voting thus costing George W a +10,000 votes is apparently irrelevant in the World-According-To-Neverthink.

    I guess the same conspiracy theorists also believe in little green men, Area 51 and Hangar 18 flying saucers. Hey, that crockumentary just ran on the Discover Channelâ„¢ this last week! What a hoot!

You make it sound as if the executable files on the Diebold memory cards are readily accessible to everyone and anyone. It’s my understanding that they kind of keep track of voting machines. Despite the agenda driven documentary, are there pictures of voting machines laying around being attacked by hackers, children or democrats.

    Get outta here, those guys aren’t liberals, that’s Dumbyah and his buddies at Enron, Haliburton.

    Those are also the ones steal the taxes you have paid with no-bid contracts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and New Orleans!

    And, those are the unnamed guys this administration gave tens of millions to in Iraq, and didn’t even think to ask for a receipt, and now can’t seem to remember their names.

Must have been since he was in the White House. I new it was the White House because it was white and he must have been a King since in clear English in the front was his sign - “White Castle”

    Because our county clerk is a pretty savvy conservative Republican, we use the much more reliable optical scanner. It is not only quick but also leaves a paper trail. This last election not a single vote tally was changed in a random audit.

    I bet most Democrats who vote for Breckboy John Edwards probably think they’re voting for John Edward the Psychic. Now wouldn’t he be a great President? He could predict if Democrats would support a war before going to war! He could channel FDR! Of course being a Democrat himself, like Bill Clinton, any war he would care to engage in will get the support of the majority of Democrats even if it is to liberate Muslims in the Balkan states so they in turn can burn down Christian churches and kill non-Muslims in the name of Allah.

    showing the RNC owed then over 12 thousand dollors. Your first link is dated November 12th, 2004. That’s before the hack was demonstrated to the Leon County, Florida officials, recorded in the movie. I’m looking at your second link now.

    Hey Hwy93,

    I hadn’t seen you for awhile; I hope you had seen the error of your ways.

    About Truthout: My link was bad try this one if you like: http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/110206N.shtml

    About Truthout & Rove: I don’t know; could be. They posted an interview of Bev Harris, Head of Black Box Voting (also a 501C3 by TVGuide.com. My quote was from this interview.

    You say: “You’ve used the word vulnerabilities.” Well, actually I quoted Bev Harris who used the word “vulnerabilities”.

    You ask: Is there any evidence that any of these vulnerabilities have been illegally exploited. Well hwy93, I misstated the Volusia County, minus vote for Gore in 2000 as 6200, it was actually minus 16,022, and the problem stated was “faulty memory cards”.

    If you watched the documentary you would see these hacks do not leave any trail, and the memory cards are proprietary, which means examination is authorized only by Diebold.

    “You make it sound as if the executable files on the Diebold memory cards are readily accessible to everyone and anyone. It’s my understanding that they kind of keep track of voting machines.”

    Yes, they “kind of” keep track of voting machines. There have been “Sleepovers” where machines are picked up by poll workers the night before the polls open. The machines are often transported by volunteers to the polling place. When the machines are stored they are not under guard. I don’t think some guy walking down the street would be able to get at them. But that’s not security.

    Why don’t we demand the same accounting and security for our voting we do for our financial transactions?

    The Sarasota district in question is run by Democrats. There was also disgust and disillusionment with both parties prior to elections and it is a district made up of a large elderly population, these factors could have contributed to an apparent the under-vote voting abberation. Of course this “fraud” is being zealously pursued since it is resulting in a Demoncrat loss which we all know is always a robbery on the part of Republicans and the Illuminati.

    What they’ve only proven is Diebold machines CAN BE hacked into, not that the voting machines HAVE BEEN hacked into. Clearly, computerized voting machines do suffer glitches, nothing is ever 100%, particularly if there are no paper trails. I say fix the security and reliability problems and cut the conspiracy theories.

    We can thank the Demoncrat chicken littles for creating an environment of hysteria regarding an admittedly less-than-perfect voting system. What is unconscionable is these whining loons go one step further by postulating some kind of vast right-wing conspiracy. The Demoncrats are such whining hypocrites for trying to gin up conspiracy theories when they are the ones who oppose sensible election security measures like voter I.D. cards and bad-mouthing normally reliable punch-card voting systems.

    And let’s not forget the activities of the left-wing voter registration groups like ACORN that falsely registering hundreds of thousands of fraudulent voters across the nation while throwing away Republican/conservative registrations - even in Florida!

    When the Democrats lose an election, their fundamental right to govern has been stolen by way of chicanery. Their Darwin given right can only be usurped through fraud.

    Their Chicago system of voting is proof of their own integrity. They even have a list of Republican tactics that they themselves could not and would not ever employ.

    “trickery, deception, deceit, deceitfulness, duplicity, dishonesty, deviousness, unscrupulousness, underhandedness, subterfuge, fraud, fraudulence, swindling, cheating, duping, hoodwinking; informal crookedness, monkey business, hanky-panky, shenanigans, skulduggery, monkeyshines; archaic management, knavery”. These are all tools of the Right wing conspiracy.

    Without these horrible, nasty methods, the Republicans since day one have never won even one election. Those phoney elections, stealing the Democrat’s birthright were 100% contrived. All presidential elections where the Republicans held the office fraudently should be overturned and President James Carter should be rightfully reinstated into his honestly won election - all subsequent pretenders should have their names stricken from the history books and Algore should rightfully take the office in ‘08 when Jimmy is no longer eligible to run.

    So sayeth the Honorable Liberal Socialist of America.

    In 2006, Edwards is ready to “launch” a 1000 (voter) dips (or as much DippityDo®). (What? He fancies himself a Helen of Troy in a waterlogged city? Dems playing the victim card for votes always like to hearken to the Crescent City’s “end days”. BTW Malkin tars the bipartisan boondoggles of Katrina Kleenup and the equal opportunity of no-bid contracts by both parties’ corporate sponsors: http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MichelleMalkin/2006/12/27/the_bipartisan_katrina_boondoggle)

    By ‘08, ‘12, and ‘16, Edwards will have “launched” a 1000 nips…and tucks. And besides maintaining his Peter Pan facade, he will have continued to enrich himself by being the voice for more “victims”.

    Mark Steyn weighs in with a retrospect of Edwards’s first run for relevancy. Steyn opens the piece this way:

    “America’s dreamboat candidate is back! Proving that he isn’t just a hair-today-gone-tomorrow passing fancy, John Edwards descended on New Orleans like a fabulously coiffed hurricane and left his opponents treading water like abandoned buses in Ray Nagin’s motor pool.”

    PresJE : ‘Um, do you know I am getting mu chest, back and unibrow waxed, it was really hard to get this appt. and I am not going to miss this for the world!’

    It is true! We Democrats tend to be much better looking than you Repugs. And we do tend to have larger libidos. What can we do? We have the corner on looks, intelligence and courage. You Repugs you have the corner on dumb, and false bravado and lets face it, none of you will ever win a beauty contest fairly.

    “—democrats better looking—”?????? You must be joking!

    Rosie O’Donnell, Pelosi, Boxer, Elenor (Pap)Smeal, David (The Muppet) Corn, Jiminy Carter, Kerry, Barney Frank, Al Freaken (NOT misspelled), Levin, Kennedy, Waxman, Mikey Moore, Alan Colmes, Hillary, Helen Thomas, Jane Hall, Mara Liason, Danny Devito, Jeanine (Ugly Betty) Garafalo, Cindy Sheehag, ——have to stop in the name of bandwidth. These are off the top of my head.

    My bet is the trolls here are real beauties too!

    One in particular would be spending time with the opposite sex instead of LIVING on this blog if “it” was ‘better looking’ as “it” states.

    Unless,—-”it” doesn’t like the opposite sex?

    Were you so dazzled by all of that Dem pulchritude that you forgot James Carville? Hubba, hubba….bleeeech.
    Babs Strident, too, is further proof that “people who need people are the luckiest people”. Did you ever see anyone needier?

    That hit parade of Dem bouncing beauties is giving me morning sickness. It’s time to stick my head into the commode. I’m likely to see more beauty there.

    May I offer this in rebuttal, and in defense of at least Republican women:

    neverthink,

    Getting rather nitpicky and literal are we? My reference to 100,000s was not limited to the one news report concerning ACORN (which mostly concerned itself with Florida), but rather their overall track record nationwide. In Missouri alone ACORN generated nearly 35,000 highly questionable voter registrations. That’s just Missouri, cut me some slack.

    At least I wasn’t citing some bogus John Hopkins report that has over 450 Iraqi civilians dying each day for the last three years despite the fact the liberal media has only been reporting 20 to 25 each day. Once again left-wingers are the ones guilty of: Figures don’t lie but liars figure.

    Oh, and “Bush lied” even though it turns out he was right about the Niger yellowcake, Joe Wilson was the real liar, and 500 WMD covered under Resolution 1441 were found in Iraq to date? Yep, Bush “is a liar” because left-wing loonies merely SAY he’s a liar. I guess that works for you, right?

    FRAUD MAP: Rotten ACORN

    Four ACORN Members Charged with Felonies in KC

    In Cuyahoga County, Ohio in 2004, ACORN and its affiliate Project Vote submitted registration cards with a 15 percent error rate — higher than the submissions of any other voter registration group in the state. That same year, Matthew Damschroder, Director of the Franklin County Board of Election Supervisors, said that ACORN and Project Vote had turned in many “blatantly false” forms, including duplicates, false information, and forged signatures.

    In August 2004, election officials in Albuquerque, New Mexico discovered that an ACORN employee had registered a 13-year-old boy to vote. The social security number, birthday, and address listed on his registration card were all incorrect. In response, New Mexico State Representative Joe Thompson accused ACORN of “manufacturing voters” throughout the state.
    In 2004 Kym Cason, the girlfriend of an ACORN employee, registered three of her friends to vote a combined total of 40 times — in an effort to earn money for her boyfriend, who she said was paid $2 by ACORN for each voter he registered.

    In 2005, ACORN employees forged thousands of fraudulent signatures in an effort to put a wage initiative on the ballot in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

    During a Congressional hearing in Ohio after the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state reported that ACORN had deluged them with thousands of registration forms on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been filled out months earlier. “You have to wonder what’s the point of that, if not to overwhelm the system and get phony registrations on the voter rolls,” said Thor Hearne of the American Center for Voting Rights, who testified at the hearing.

    And this is just one left-wing loonie “voter registration” organization. ACORN has been busted because it is being too stupidly blatant in its election fraud shenanigans. Not saying Republicans are pure-as-the-wind-driven-snow but the beat goes on and not one complaint from the DemDonk leadership or people like you that these kind of shenanigans are going on in support of their party, neverthink. At least Republicans want the full weight of the election laws applied to this people and organizations even when its one of their own. DemDonks still oppose Voter ID cards even when they are free!

    Just like a lamestream media editor to try and blame Scott when said editor prints a satirical Pelosi quote without first factchecking and vetting it. Shades of AP and Reuters! See next Scrappleface post.

    Here’s a good one: THE BOYS OF THE TALIBAN

    Looks like the Taliban progressives have something to teach NAMBLA in how to make boy-sex politically correct among American liberals.

    Prosecutor Nifong (D-Moon) is being brought up on ethics charges by the North Carolina Bar.. Nifong is considered by some to be a craven, race-baiting hack in recklessly and in a partisan manner pursuing rape charges against the three Duke lacrosse players, particularly during a re-election year effort.

    Like most here at Scrappleface had previously noted: shades of Tawana Brawley! We told ya so.

    OLA: You are correct! How could I have forgotten Carvile and Babs? Two of the ugliest, both physically and spiritually!

    Speaking of Babs, how would you like to have that nose full of “Susan B. Anthony’s”?
