John Edwards Drops Out, Endorses McCain

by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 65 Comments · · Print This Story Print This Story

(2008-01-30) — Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards today quit the race for the Democrat presidential nomination, and immediately endorsed Republican frontrunner Sen. John McCain.

“As the presidential field narrows,” Sen. Edwards will reportedly say at an afternoon news conference, “I just didn’t feel there would be room in the race for two white males who favor leniency for illegal aliens, who opposed Bush’s tax cuts for the rich, who fight man-made global warming, who support limits on so-called free speech in political campaigns, who have worked to hinder approval of conservative judicial nominees, and who stand against the Bush administration’s desire to torture terror suspects with waterboarding.”

Mr. Edwards added that, while he’s young enough to run for president 10 more times, the septuagenarian Sen. McCain “may have only five or six more shots at it.”

While Mr. Edwards played down speculation that he might bring balance to the ticket as Sen. McCain’s running mate, he noted that it would be “a once-in-a-lifetime thrill to team up with an actual Vietnam war hero.”

    Unless some miracle saves us from McCain it’s foredoomed that we’re going to have a Liberal president.

    With that as a given, might it be time to form up a Conservative Party and run a candidate, at least in a few states?

    A certainty not to win but perhaps enough of a showing that what laughingly calls it self “The Republican Party” might wake up and mount a real candidate in 2012 if only to keep Conservatives from splitting the vote and giving Hillary an undisputed 8 years?

If I have to vote for sHrillary or McPain, I would be very sick, but I would vote against SHrillary, if it is between Obama or McPain I may not show up to do my civic duty. So why not try a Thompson/Hunter ticket? I would vote that way in a heartbeat.

    In search of truth in advertising I would like for the two parties to be renamed, based on facts, we could then have the Socialist Party and the Conservative Party.
    When the Civil War (part two) begins we Conservatives can wear red bandanas as armbands and/or headbands. Those members of the United American Socialist Party (USAP) can wear blue bandanas. It would make it easier to avoid shooting the wrong person.
    Mexico, Central America, Cuba, Venezuela, russia, etc. will begin arming the USAP, since with their
    gunaphobia, they are unarmed for the most part. It will be a Nationwide “Red Dawn” and we will either win or America will cease to exist.
    Authority for change is plain in our Preamble to our Constitution. “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
    I see no room for Communists in there. Their sole purpose is to try and succeed here, where they have failed in every other country where they’ve tried it. I don’t want America to become another Cuba, Venezuela or North Korea.

    From the “Ya Gotta Love Them Democrats Department”

    This story was taken from the paper from a small town I used to live in:

    CANAL FULTON: After receiving complaints of ‘’suspicious persons,” police on Monday stopped and questioned seven men, who were going door to door in several neighborhoods.

    Wayne C. Christopher, of Cleveland, was arrested for soliciting without a permit and on outstanding warrants.

    Canal Fulton police said the seven men were working for Working America, a Cleveland-based organization affiliated with the AFL-CIO.

    According to police, some of the men stopped had lengthy criminal records.

    Two calls seeking comment left on the phone answering machine at Working America were not immediately returned.

    According to the Working America Web site, the group uses ”professional research, communication, education, canvassing, lobbying and community organizing to demand that politicians address the priorities that matter most to working people.”

    As expected, the MSM (well, OK, it’s hard to call a fringe network “mainstream” but y’all know what I mean) tried to frame this as an either-or choice, and McCain and Romney were happy to follow that script, but Paul is closer to real Conservatism than either of them, and Huckabee is the most consistently Conservative of the candidates with executive experience.

    More unfortunate, however, is the lack of real opposition by those [the majority, IMO] who don’t adhere to their [the press's] deviant views.

    Today on ABC News:

    In a long, and interesting speech, he [Bill Clinton]characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming this way: “We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions ’cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.”

    At a time that the nation is worried about a recession is that really the characterization his wife would want him making? “Slow down our economy”?

    I don’t really think there’s much debate that, at least initially, a full commitment to reduce greenhouse gases would slow down the economy….So was this a moment of candor?

    Yep, these people need to be leading this country. Heh Bill, it’s the economy, stupid!!

    In The Church of Latter Day Saints,” The Prophet” is not just the title for the “Mormon Pope”.

    He is also called “The Seer” and “The Revelator”.

    Romney’s Campaign may well have lost the Florida Primary because of the illness and death of Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley.

    The LDS has had Thomas S. Monson, warming up in anticipation of Hinckley’s drop to room temperature.

    Prophet Monson should be able to, not only, guide former governor Romney to victory on Super Tuesday; but also guide The United States in the future.

    “Breaking Bad” a very special movie that was made expressly to prove that no matter how horrible things seem, it could be a whole lot worse.

    It would be horrible to have Senators Mrs. Bill Clinton or Obama as President. Now Presidents come and go. We weathered Mr. Jimmy Carter and Mr. Bill Clinton - the horrendous thought lies in the fact that whosoever wins in November will more than likely appoint one or more persons to the Supreme Court.

    With all of their many, many drawbacks, with McCain or Romney there is at least a chance of getting one or more much needed Conservative or Conservatives appointed to the bench. Even a slim chance is better than no chance at all.

    I find it horrendous to even contemplate the damage to our country if a Democrat President is allowed to stack the Supreme Court with Liberal Judges. Our First and Second Amendment rights will effectively be deleted from the Constitution. Roe vs Wade will continue throughout the lives of these appointees. Same sex marriages could become legal.

    There is no way to weigh the ramifications of a Democrat win this November. If God wills it to be so, then, so be it, but I seriously doubt that the America we know (with all of it’s warts, scars and scabs) will continue to exist. I would that Christians everywhere would pray that God will spare America in this time of trials.

    CAT,

    I’m a citizen of The United States. But, I’m not sure what country I live in anymore. The United States was a nation of laws, not of men! We had a constitution, and a “Balance of Power” between our branches of government.

    We had a president, not an emperor, whose duty it was to execute our laws, not attach “Signing Statements” ignoring them, and not to violate those laws, and hide the evidence behind “Executive Privilege”, and not to pardon criminals who might otherwise testify against him.

    We had a “Bill of Rights”, where no person could be thrown in jail without a fair trial.

    My country would never make a preemptive attack another country!

    This president in not just incompetent, he has abused his legitimate power, and assume powers the people did not grant him.

    He has said of our nation’s most sacred document. “It’s just a (deleted) piece of paper!” It is this document to which requires him to leave office on January 20th, 2009.

Therefore, if you have any problem with the men of today, take it up with the liberals too. They are trying to change it.

    Regarding the rest of your post, it appears that you have not read any history or if you have, did not understand it. You live in a nation that split right down the middle and killed hundreds of thousands of people over States’ Rights. You live in a nation that rounded up Japanese within its borders and put them into containment camps. You live in a nation where it is in the Constitution that the government can take your land if it deems it useful for the common good.

    You live in a nation where the president is still the president but the media is and has always been the emperor who determines how you feel and think. You live in a land where 100 years ago, the Bill of Rights was only for white men and anyone else was guilty before proven innocent and hanged before proven guilty. You live in a nation that made a preemptive attack on Germany and Italy in WWII because they were fighting against our allies, while simultaneously making a reactive attack on Japan because they attacked us first.

    You live in a nation that drove bands of Indians across the country in death marches to relocate them so that the nation could have more land. You live in a nation where a president put a newspaper man in jail because he opposed the president’s decisions during a time of civil war. I could go on, but hopefully you are getting the picture that your nation is a nation, moving forward from the past and going from president to president under the same kinds of problems based on the idea that as in Ecclesiates, “There is nothing new under the sun.”

And then I’d like him to explain to them that the economy is at a place where it needs to be slowed down because it is roaring too fast. Either way he’s screwed, with them, in his logic.

    Listening to some post-adolescent wannabe croaking his tone deaf way through “Proud Mary” on American Idol is probably more relevant to the real world than what passes for far-left Democratic policy nowadays.

    Just because your personal policy preferences are ignored (as they should be), doesn’t mean the Constitution has been violated. If government was really broken you would have had your door kicked in and have been dragged off to an existence in a white suit with straps or you would have simply “disappeared” and no one be the wiser. You’re not truly anonymous and your IP# is a matter of record. Just wising you up.

    The fact your continue publicly posting your venomous hatred here in complete safety demonstrates what a liar you are … again. Of course that may change one day - probably under a liberal socialist fascist Amerika - but then you probably won’t be around to appreciate your own cleverness since under a thoroughly entrenched left-wing totalitarian systems since useful idiots are usually the first to go.

    Nazi national socialists, Soviet Marxist communists and American liberal collectivists can be seen springing from the same anti-Constitutional/anti-free market source once the sheep skin is removed from the wolf. Just look at the lust for power in the eyes of sHrillary and Obama, they are drunk with it. It all adds up to the same thing, a gilded, velvet-lined cage compliments of the left-wing powers-that-be. Be careful what you wish for when you pull that lever this November.

    Second, actually; first they’re tortured until they’ve betrayed everyone they can think of.

    Not that anyone was fooled, but here’s the truth about McCain’s historical and presumptive stance on tax cuts. Also a bit about his poor reading of the last election.

    gafisher,

    I stand corrected.

    [...] by Mike on February 1, 2008 Well sort of.  Can a fake endorsement of a fake Republican become a real one if the candidate who gives it is also a fake?  Sometimes [...]

    “Such is the pathological hatred of liberal Democrats who consider it an honor and duty to put party before country.”

    What do you know of “Honor and Duty”?

    “Don’t confuse your subjective personal hatred of those who don’t bow to your psuedo-intellectual grandstanding with the government being broken.”

    Did you mean to say “Pseudo-intellectual”? Now, that you know how to spell it, maybe you can look up its meaning.

    It seems to me, that writing posts that are hundreds of words long, filled with words even the writer doesn’t understand is a better example of trying to appear intellectual.

    Thanks for “wising me up” about IP. I have never thought I was beyond the reach of the neo-cons; but, just in case, I have taken the precaution of placing the details of several posts in a contingency record.

    Now, let me “wise you up” some: Investigations of this administration will continue after next January 20th.

    As to your observation: “Talk about two liteweights and no gravitas - Obama spewing his empty left-wing platitudes to the delight of the sheep-to-be-fleeced in the audience and sHrillary shreiking (shrieking) her agreement.”

    I watched all of both debates. I saw something very different. I look forward to the “debate” between the choice of our two parties.

    What about Rush, or Hannity as your number two? Now, I’d really like that!

    Seems there’s some pretty sound reverse reasoning on McCain. Ann Coulter has already said that if McCain gets the RNC’s nod, she will campaign for HillBilly.

    If McCain’s president, the Congressional Republicans may vote with him (a horror) while if She is President they’ll vote against her and actually be very effective in blocking her wishes.

    An excerpt from her latest article:

    “That helps, but why would any Republican vote for McCain?

    At least under President Hillary, Republicans in Congress would know that they’re supposed to fight back. When President McCain proposes the same ideas — tax hikes, liberal judges and Social Security for illegals — Republicans in Congress will support “our” president — just as they supported, if only briefly, Bush’s great ideas on amnesty and Harriet Miers.”
