News Edwards in Seattle
posted by on May 1 at 12:55 PM
Edwards is speaking now, in an industrial park in south Seattle, to union members from around the city. Right off the bat, he talked about the war in Iraq and the probable presidential veto of Congress’s Iraq war funding bill.
Four years ago today, George Bush blew onto an aircraft carried and declared, “Mission Accomplished.” Not quite. The Congress was given a mission this past Novemember, and that mission has not yet been finished either, and that mission is to end this war in Iraq.
Regarding Bush’s promise to veto any Iraq war funding bill that contains a timetable for withdrawal, Edwards said:
It is crucial that the Congress stand its ground on this. If the president vetoes this bill, it is the president of the United States who is not funding the troops.
And if the president does veto the bill, Edwards said, Congress should first try to override the veto, and if that fails, send an identical bill back to the president.
And if he vetoes that one, we oughta do it again.
I like him. And that's exactly what I was thinking... like a spoiled child who refuses to eat his string beans, keep sending him back the same plate of food until he eats it.
Mmmmm...he's yummy.
Yes! He's the one I agree with most on the issues, much more than Hillary "Junior" Clinton and Barack "What Issues?" Obama.
Amen to all of the above. Is he the perfect candidate? Of course not, that would be Sen. Russ Feingold. But of the "top 3", he strikes me as the most sincere: he may not currently be "right" on all the issues (i.e., gay marriage), but he seems open to new information and to changing his mind--like sane people do. And his wife is amazing.
I think he's the best of the Dems also, but, for some reason, I just can't get excited about his campaign.
I guess I'm just not there yet.
He's too pretty for me. I worry about his tanning schedule interfering with important business. Nice hair, though.
Just another pretty face. Just another plutocrat populist fat-cat 'Crat.
