Opebo,
You said Edwards is more Liberal than Kerry??? No way. In fact, Edwards is not the least bit "political" at all.
The truth about Edwards is that he's an amoral, ambulance chaser with absolutely no real core beliefs. In other words, he's a less intelligent version of Bill Clinton, though he does seem to have better control of his genitalia than Clinton did, and was a more accomplished attorney.
That being said, an Edwards presidency, like a Clinton presidency, would do FAR less damage to the United States than the election of a pure leftist like Kerry. Edwards has NO beliefs...Kerry has beliefs, but they are at best naive beliefs, and at worse, his approach to foreign policy could bring about the ruination of the United States.
Give me Edwards over Kerry ANY DAY.
Great minds think alike - I posted something like this a few weeks ago, regarding Edwards as a sort of empty-headed Clinton clone. He's just as characterless and venal as Clinton, but also fairly ignorant.
But I disagree - I think an Edwards presidency would be just as damaging as a Kerry presidency. Basically they'd both largely be held in check (thank god) by the Republican congress, and both would nominate horrible Supreme Court justices. Also both would fail utterly to defend the country. Now if there was a chance of a Democrat congress then I'd agree with you Kerry would damage us even more than Edwards, but it would still be close. I think its hard to underestimate how much damage 8 years of Clinton did.
