Comments on: 'Desperate Housewives' star to stump for Edwards http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/09/26/desperate-housewives-star-to-stump-for-edwards/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Eric, from THE Republic of Texas http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/09/26/desperate-housewives-star-to-stump-for-edwards/#comment-77784 Eric, from THE Republic of Texas Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:39:00 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/09/26/desperate-housewives-star-to-stump-for-edwards/#comment-77784 How appropriate... someone backing Edwards... yeah, I'd say that's pretty Desperate. This dude says, "Edwards is the most straight-forward, progressive candidate out there..." Progressive. Is that the nom du jour for "socialism" these days? Please tell me what exactly is "progressive" about wealth confiscation and redistribution? ...to steal from successful, hardworking and shrewd individuals for the purpose of rewarding lazy deadbeats. It's like a reward for failure, or even failing to try. It's rewarding laziness, stupidity and poor decision making, and punishing drive/initiative/gumption. Next, this Desperate Clown is going to start lecturing us about environmentalism and how we all need to "do more" to help... a message surely to be delivered from the comfort of his luxurious, air conditioned, 15,000 sq. ft., 10-bathroom Hollywood mansion.

All the liberal candidates are showing on the horizon is re-distribution of wealth, aka raising taxes , aka bulls##*T. We still will have the threat of radical Islam but with a weak White House and cut in military pay, they'll for sure try 9-11 the Sequel. Not trying to scare you, but you can feel good without a feel-good President. We need a kick a** military when Ahmandinajed shows his ugly mug again, and that's what we'll get with a conservative President .
