John & Elizabeth Edwards Are Sell-Outs [Update]
By SusanUnPC on May 15, 2008 at 11:23 AM in Barack Obama, Elizabeth Edwards, Health Care, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards
QUESTIONS GALORE: Will Edwards help Obama in Kentucky? (We know Edwards won’t move a vote.) Will Edwards now give up his position on universal health care? Will someone ask him?
As noted by many here, the meaningless endorsement of Obama by John “Pretty Boy” Edwards was designed to bury Hillary’s “devastating defeat by 41 points” of Barack Obama in West Virginia, a defeat “that should be EXTREMELY ALARMING” to ALL Democrats (even those in the DNC). Byron York covers how ABC News let itself be used to that end, even on its national newscast which never ordinarily covers live events.
BUT! This group of grizzled veterans (thank god for Fox News) know how little Johnny’s showboating yesterday really means — NEXT TO NOTHING! — compared to Hillary’s crushing defeat of BO on Tuesday:
Yesterday was quite a day. There was Bill Richardson on Fox, with drool running down and coagulating in his chin whiskers, dodging the question that Obama had offered him the vice presidency. It was so obvious that Richardson is consumed by the prospect. (Hey, Bill, he’s offered the VP slot to at least three other people!)
Then, when I told a very smart political wisegirl that Johnny had sold out for access to Obama’s mailing list (SEE BELOW), she told me WHY, she is certain, that Elizabeth Edwards had endorsed Hillary’s heath care plan a few weeks ago. It was to get herself a gig “as a fellow at the Center for American Progress to advocate on health care issues.” As the AP points out, “the Washington-based think tank was founded by John Podesta, President Clinton’s former chief of staff.” To think that others here, and I, wrote articles praising Elizabeth for pointing out the superiority of Hillary’s health plan compared to Barack’s. I was thunderstruck by how I’d been used. And how Hillary’s longtime allies were also used. UPDATE: To those who insist Elizabeth has stayed “pure” through this sad tale, I give you (thanks to Andy) this: “She also said [on Olbermann’s Countdown that] while she prefers Hillary’s health plan to Obama’s, she’s glad that both provide for universal coverage.” — Jeralyn, “Elizabeth Edwards on Endorsements,” Talkleft blog, April 29, 2008. (In the past, Elizabeth has repeatedly said that Obama’s plan did NOT cover universal coverage, and she previously decried his ads that lied not only about HIS weaker plan but also about John and Hillary’s much stronger plans.] SEE ALSO (thanks again, Andy): Elizabeth on MSNBC, April 29 and the Countdown transcript (towards the end).
And of course — shock! — there was money involved:
(Thanks to John B. for sending me this — it is OBVIOUS that Obama gave Edwards his mailing list.)
RE: Help me in North Carolina
BUT! As Larry Johnson admonished us all last night:
My advice? Patience. Let Barack have his codpiece, “Mission Accomplished” moment. Like George Bush, he will rue his strutting and preening and declaring premature victory. Reality will intrude.
As Uppity Woman would say, “OOOOPPPPS! How did that get in here?”
Thanks so much for this article, Susan. I was pissed as hell at him yesterday, but his meaningless endorsement is fizzling into oblivion today. I was wondering if someone was threatening to publish something about his dalliance with a reporter again, but then I got the email, and promptly unsubscribed.
***********************
A little OT, but it’s for Hill: I have to go do some stuff, but, if anyone would like to, I need email addresses of Oregon newspapers and TV stations. I can get them when I come back, but it would save time if we could get them beforehand. It might be a fun exercise for anyone who feels like it!
After asking around, I found out about a few hot button issues for Oregonians, the majority of whom are white (90%):
1. Sexism - Barama has shown a lot of that, and I think we should share what we know, including the “Sweetie” comment from yesterday.
2. Independent thinking - if you pride yourself on this, you might want to go with Senator Clinton!
3. Terri Schaivo - Apparently BO went with the Republicans on that one.
So there is a lot we can send them, if we just get the email addresses. Thanks in advance if you can do this, and I’ll check back ASAP!
And much thanks to Margaret and Typical Bubba for their very valuable input! If anyone else has insight into that demographic (Oregonian, or white, latte drinking liberals), please feel free to share. And, since Susan mentioned Kentucky, we should probably do this for these folks, too. We need to work very hard for the next few days - we need blowouts - again!
That “message” is completely deceptive.
It is almost fraudulent.
John Edwards will do anything for his own career.
He KNOWS that Obama’s health and economic policies are far right, and that Clinton’s policies are progressive.
He waited until the best opportunity for his own career.
Edwards is a fake. He suddenly became a Howard Dean progressive when it suited him. If you look at his senate record it is more conservative than Clinton’s!
At the start of this primary, he claimed to champion the poor. Yet he had done NOTHING in 4 years except work on his now-failed presidential campaign.
This guy is a real operator.
Edwards is indeed a fake.
I had hoped he had a Damascus style conversion from corporatist to populist but he didn’t. He just played a game and suckered a lot of people.
Should have seen it coming when he went easy on cheney in the deabtes and when he joined a hedge fund to study poverty after the ‘04 election.
The man reeks of hypocrisy.
As far his wife goes, well it looks like she wants to go to her grave as a liar.
What a pathetic pair.
He’s something, and I would go back to trippi, and dean, and that other one.
How disgusting.
I would add to that good list Hillary’s superior position on the environment. For example, she voted against the Bush-Cheney energy bill and Obama voted for it.
I would particularly mention the fact that the Cheney bill that Obama voted for allows them to run an LNG pipeline down the pristine Oregon Coast (or anywhere else they please) against the will of almost every Oregonian. That is a real hot button here.

Good Luck! Say hi to Max for me!
Thanks, Nellie - I really appreciate that. I will indeed say “hi” to this “Max” you speak of.
http://WWW.OBAMATRUTH.ORG THIS IS HOW THEY RUN HOSIPTAL HIM AND MICHELE
HE VOTED” NO” TO FUND TO GET SAFETY EQU FOOR OUR TROOPS IN THE WAR TO HELP KEEP THEM SAFE.WHY NOT VOTE YES ON SOMETHING THAT THEY NEED WHILE THEY ARE THERE.
No one in the Senate took any decisive action. They allowe Frist and Delay to ramrod it through. Don’t waste your time on Terri’s issues. Barack brought it up during the debates as something he regretted and it got no traction.
I value your opinion, beebop. I’m really not up on it, and certainly appreciate the input.
Seriously, Barack went with Repubs on Terry Schiavo????!!?
Do you have any links?
That’s a very big deal, reason some turned against Bush.
JUST GOOGLE OREGON NEWS- OREGON NEWSPAPERS
LOOK HIS VOTEING RECORD UP ON VOTE BILLS IN HELPING TO FUND THE WAR AS TO GET THE EQU THEY NEEDED TO KEEP THEM SAFE.HE VOTED NO.WHY NOT VOTE YES ON SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP KEEP THEM SAFE TILL WE CAN GET THEM OUT OF THEIR.
HIS BUSH-DICK CHENEY ENGRY BILL HE VOTED YES.
HILLARY AND MCCAIN VOTED NO : )

Before you get too mad at Elizabeth….read this
http://insightanalytical.wordpress.com/
I’m not angry at her. I’m not even angry at him. He waited till his state voted and endorsed the winner. He is not going to tick off his constituency, he might need them again. It’s politics.
what constituency? is he an elected official?
No but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have designs. Being an elected official is an addiction. You might be on the wagon for awhile, but sooner or later there’s a recivity problem.
He kept saying he would wait until all the voting was over to endorse, so it is hard to give him a pass on this one.
I did hear him refuse to say what Elizabeth’s stand is. He made it seem like it was not something they agreed on.
That’s the OFFICIAL version we are told to believe. Look underneath. WIth that meme, they get to have it both ways.
About 2 weeks ago; after E. Edwards got the job she wen on National TV to say that both Obama’s and Clinton’s health care plan were universal. yes, she said that Obama’s plan was also universal !!
It was no slip of the tongue and many people were
struck by hr comment and left wondering why would she say that after the reports from the Edwards’ meeting with Obama back in Feb. when Elizabeth got into a heated argument with Obama b/c he said his plan was universal and she said it was clearly not?
I knew then thy were about to endorsed Obama.
I didn’t mind that but I minded a lotElizabeth selling out on her supposed principles of universal health care: that was an ugly realization.
should read “she went” and later “struck by her..”
sorry.
No link? Not even a guess as to which program she was on?
She’s always favored Clinton’s plan over Obama’s. This allegation is pretty stinky.
look at the update above.
MSNBC & Countdown.
And most likely true, these people don’t do anything with out some angle.
Shame, though, how they think Clinton won’t be a factor in their careers, or even the people who support Clinton, showing really really poor judgement.
The liberal rapture, indeed…
Will this site help? Elizabeth is for Hillary’s health plan.
Apr 9, 2008 … Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former presidential candidate John Edwards, defended her surprise support for Sen. Hillary Clinton’s health plan …

Elizabeth needs to either endorse or quit pretending.
Simple.
Bill Richardson! But but but what about those three women he promised the VP slot to!
Bbbbbut….I thought Uncle Jerry is getting VP….
Thought I would throw in the headline for my link above GUTSY Elizabeth Edwards Not Part of Endorsement–Outshines Husband in “Courage of Convictions” Department (only a week after couple tells “People” they won’t endorse) (UPDATED)
You’re very welcome to tout your own stories here, but It pays to be a lot more cynical.
I support you 99.9% of the time, but on this one I think we may be wrongly accusing Eliabeth. Time will tell, I guess.
Read my comment aboe. she already pitched for Obama lying that his health care plan was “universal” just as HRC’s.
You can find her TV appearance; I think it was her latest about 2 weeks ago; when she said this.
Her “public” saying is irrelevant for she is not a SD.
John & Elizabeth have acted as one all the time.
How do these folks look themselves in the mirror…I guess they don’t….

I think I found the interview but the post of it
got put down lower in the comments…
I wouldn’t include Elizabeth in this, at least not until she has her say…
SEE Andy’s comment above.
This once great blog - sounds more like FAUX NEWS every day.
What about the “sick joke” of Bush giving up golf?
What about Grandfather Prescot Bush’s involvement financing Nazi’s?
George Orwell said,
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
There are more important things in life today to stand for… than BASHING Obama. That also goes for anyone, including “average Americans” like me who dare to support him.
Your Country, your Democracy needs your support - please stop the bashing - you only put yourself in the gutter, where the R’s and Neo-Cons live.

I’m so bored with Hitler.
We know what a 41% margin loss means. Do you?
i am not supporting an incompetent individual, period.
Since West Virginia, 6 superdelegate declarations for Obama. Zero for Clinton. [Vicky Harwell was an add-on.]
EXTREMELY ALARMING, indeed.
Pop Quiz:
1.When to actual votes occur?
Hope Barry keeps that closet door good and closed.
What? The butt-fucking allegation? [Or is it the butt-fuckee allegation? I haven’t been following the story closely.]
This is what you’re pinning your hopes on?
Do you eat with that disgusting mouth?
No, it’s over his head, this is the “bob johnson” no talent delusional troll move, the genius of the Internet, who ain’t.
He’s at the apex of his power now, thinking he’s the hammer.
Of what, no one knows.
Ask him if HE’S being trolled, he can’t tell you, because he’s such a genius, NO ONE could troll him.
Right?
it’s a message to voters from party powers: “Your vote does not count one iota with us. Get f*ked, WV, OH, PA, ane especially FL and MI. You puny voters and states think you can tell the democratic party what to do? Au contraire!”
Oh, those Frenchies make me so mad sometimes!
So ugly, no one is even interested in your PORN!!!!
Oh, flo, I say, oh flo…..
Karen… thanks for the post. I agree. Let’s not jump on Elizabeth so fast. I personally think ‘ol john boy will be sleeping on the couch for quite some time.
Baloney. He wouldn’t have done it without her assent. And see Andy’s comment above.
AGREE…Susan…It is a payoff to a politician with limited prospects….
From the People Magazine article…..
John On Clinton: “I like something different about Hillary. I think her tenacity shows a real strength that’s inside her.”
What doesn’t he like about Clinton? “Um, still a lot of the old politics,” John Edwards said.
As for Obama, he says: “Sometimes I want to see more substance under the rhetoric.”
But he cited two things he likes about the charismatic young senator from Illinois: “One is, I think he really does want to bring about serious change and a different way of doing things. And secondly, I think it’s a great symbolic thing to have an African-American who could be president.”
Differing Opinions?
At that, Mrs. Edwards rolled her eyes and, gripping the arms of her kitchen chair with some exaggeration, seemed about to lunge from her seat. “What about the great symbolic thing about a woman …”
“It’s important. It’s important,” her husband said. “I know it.”
You could see how he felt about women, when he joined that pile-on with Russert and Matthews.
I was actually a supporter until that debate. THAT’s when I wised up and looked at Clinton a lot closer, and realized she was by far the strongest of the three.
I was happy to know that our foremost progressive economist, Paul Krugman liked HRC as well. Contrary to reports that the educated are all flocking to Obama.
I find it funny that on Larry “Outfoxed” Johnson’s blog there are so many Fox News clips and links to Little Green Footballs. I guess that makes sense though since Hillary cozied up to Richard Mellon Scaife and Rupert Murdoch during her failed bid for the nomination.
Yeah, that Larry’s a true-blue Democrat, isn’t he.
Well, no, he’s not a true blue democrat, but he’s certainly smarter than you.
Yer so ugly, no one will watch your porn, flo…
Get it?
We will take truth from where ever we can. What did you think of the 41% margin loss for your guy? Don’t say mission is already accomplished, because I am going to say “show me 2209!”
Oh, he did not win a single county, either.
What was that number again? Let’s go to the tape:
Now I know you are off your nut, calling Elizabeth Edwards a sell-out:
All because CAP is headed by John Podesta. Correlation is not causation but again, you seem willing to build a case on the weakest foundation.
After John dropped out, what should Elizabeth have done?
I can’t wait to hear.
Gee, I don’t know … but somehow selling principles doesn’t come first on my list … what about you?
I think it’s pointless to carry on over whether or not Elizabeth Edwards did or didn’t endorse Obama. They’re a married couple, with young children. Shit like this happens with married people and ultimately they have to merge their best interests.
I really don’t care about her. She was the candidate’s wife to me. Likeable enough, but that’s all. This is on John Edwards. He was the candidate with supporters. It was his call and for me it was a disappointing one. Politically expedient, but I don’t have to walk in his shoes.
Why do do women always need married women to prove how independent they are from their husbands? As if being married is anything but being dependent for both husband and wife. Besides, I never got the impression Elizabeth Edwards liked Hillary. She once made an awful comment about Hilllary when she was promoting her book that dealt with how hard she took the death of their oldest son. I personally thought the remark was distasteful and unnecessary. Public sniping between women especially if there’s nothing to gain only fuels misogyny.
For me the result of Edwards’ endorsement is personal: I would never vote for him, I don’t take him seriously anymore, he’s a hypocrite and as big a lightweight as Obama. http://www.savagepolitics.com
His endorsement changes nothing for me. I had decided not to vote for Obama when Edwards was still in the race. Nothing he or Hillary can say will change that. Obama will have to:
WIN WITHOUT ME!
And if he can, he’ll get my congrats.
Clinton has 4 Super D endorsements today. 41 Points in West Virginia. 41 points in West Virginia. He didn’t win a single county. Kentucky and OR are next. Lot’s more to vote. We will see.
Name one.
PROVE IT!
I wanna be a bob, too, Dr. Pepper…
4SDs Who?????
I sent this email to Elizabeth Edwards this morning:
You were noticeably absent yesterday from your husband’s endorsement spectacle. I commend you for that. I heard that you would have endorsed Hillary Clinton. I felt sick as I watched John become just another self-indulgent, self-important politician. Throughout the campaign, he seemed to agree with all that Hillary wants for this country, and the wind blew the other way, so John went along because he hopes to get something out of it, obviously. What a major disappointment for all of us who believed he was genuine. I was so bereft of hope as I watched him onstage with Obama soaking up the applause that I couldn’t listen to his speech. I can tell you that I would never again vote for John in any capacity. Two things happened to me this morning. As I was driving to work, the car in front of me was sporting a bumper sticker that read, “Politicians are like diapers: they all need to be changed for the same reason.” Then as I was walking up the sidewalk, I found a complete set of rosary beads. There IS hope, but John Edwards will never be a part of it. You seem like a wonderful woman. I hope you’re well.
Nancy, Could you share Elizabeth’s address? I know a lot of people who would like to send her a message.

Hey, workingclass, did I make you laugh? Did I write that just like one of the psycho-trolls would with the big caps and all? Ha! That was kind of fun. I love you quoting Wilde, too.
Oh hey, my post was kind of awkward due to sleep deprivation. I meant to say I was responding to the troll above working class.
I love workingclass. I hope that was clear.

Exelon + Obama = fascist nuclear waste forced on unwitting citizens.
Why don’t you check out how nuclear power plants don’t have to report leaks thanks to people like Obama?
Nevermind, it is highly govt subsidized by the taxpayer…we don’t rate on the ‘need to know’ list. Apparently, Three Mile Island, was lucky to be told of that leak.
Sorry, but that does not rate as hopey or changey…but rather standing up for the corporate status quo.
John Edwards just bought himself the Secretary General - chief Ambulance Chaser position. (Richardson already bought the VP slot)
Guess Uncle Jerry will just have to be content with being Obamas’ Ayatollah
Hey, that’s the same email I got last night!
Keepin it classy John
According to the AP,
Edwards didn’t even tell many of his former top advisers because he wanted to inform Clinton personally, said the person close to him. Edwards’ wife, Elizabeth, who has said she thinks Clinton has the superior health care plan, did not travel with him to Michigan and is not part of the endorsement.

Edwards was pushed out of the race because he TOLD THE TRUTH about corporations and the CLASS WARFARE going on within this Country against people.

Hey bob what do they say about baffling with bullshit, when there is no steak?
Argumentum verbosium
Proof by verbosity is also used colloquially in forensic debate to describe a logical fallacy (sometimes called “argumentum verbosium”) that tries to persuade by overwhelming those considering an argument with such a volume of material that the argument sounds plausible, superficially appears to be well-researched, and that is so laborious to untangle and check supporting facts that the argument is allowed to slide by unchallenged. It is the fallacy epitomized by the familiar quote: “If you can’t dazzle them with your brilliance, then baffle them with your bullshit.”
from wikipedia.
“bob” thinks he’s a genius.
spent his life trying to prove a lie.
Aeon, Barack Hussein Obama (his parents gave this name to him, not me!)is still confused: Are there 57 states? Tim, Matt, Tim, Matt,sorry, I do not know who is interviewing me (Matt, actually),my Kenyan father’s coffin was draped with USA flag!(egoistic & ignoramus!)
He would not know how he would run the country with 57 states!! ( i refuse to write the future tense here)
One thing sure: he is not smarter than the fifth graders!!!
Because I love my country, I will NOT vote an unknown Obama!!!
Just remember what a boost McGovern was to Obama in West Virginia.
There’s a very funny picture of Edwards and Owhatever
at Rezkowatch. Also Evelyn Pringle’s Curtain Time for Barack Obama Part III is out now and you can link to her through Rezkowatch.
When Elizabeth wrote her “hard hitting” article about media bias– I knew she was in the Obama-drink.
It was titled something like Bowling 1, Health Care 0. You didn’t need to read further than the headline to know where she was at. Also, though some touted the article as being highly critical of the media, I thought it was pretty lame.
I’ve never been impressed with the Edwards. I read some really biting comments that Anne (?) Coulter had directed towards them, and I am simply hoping that she gets a little air time to “air” what she thinks of their incredible “integrity.” That said, I agree that the endorsement has fizzled to nothing, and that another attempted horse-shit Obama moment has passed.
I’m looking forward to Puerto Rico and Larry Sinclair. Also looking forward (hope, hope) to Obama being indicted next along with Gov. of Illinois.

Edwards had the Obama Camp and DNC leadership hounding him since Super Tuesday to support Obama. For over a year and a half Alexrod, his former campaign manager, has worked behind the scenes with the DNC, the Obamabot bloggers and MSM to strangle the Edwards campaign in its crib. The DNC came up with a Debate and media format schedule guaranteed to exacerbate identity politics and pandering. Edwards never got any traction. Alexrod manipulated the events to ensure they would be as banal and issue free as possible to downplay Edwards and Hillary’s stronger points.
So F’ing What!! Big deal the candy assed pillow biting Obamabots have now gotten the Edwards endorsement they have been screaming for. They still are going to be bad mouthing Edwards for not doing it 3 months ago. You watch this time next week and through out the month as the Obamabots will be throwing Edwards under the bus after they get stomped in KY and the remaining primaries. I think Edwards actually knows what the Obamabots have in store for him.
After all Hillary does not need Edwards in the primaries. I doubt Edwards is going to swing that many SDs.
The Obamabots will still be claiming that had Edwards jumped on the bandwagon in Feb, like they asked, Obambi would have done better with the white working classes. Look at how they are treating douchebag Richardson. Obama does well among younger, 1st and 2nd generation, more left-wing and staunchly pro-open borders hispanics. Yet Richardson has not helped with more moderate and fully assimilated older and 3rd & 4th & 5th generation latinos. Silly Richardson thought he had the VP slot locked up. But the Obamaborg is now playing up McCaskill in desperate bid for women voters.
Anything to deflect blame from the “anointed one”.
Still I say that the ObamaCon will not last until the convention. Ayers & Dohrn or worse will do Barky in.
Then it will nice to have an Edwards nominally inside the Obama camp with a prior relationship to Alexrod to break the news to the “Mahdi” that the jig is up and Obami will never get to be “Dear Leader”.
I would love to agree with you, but I don’t, given Edwards connections to Trippi, Dean, and Ax
