Give 'em Hell John
Two days ago Edwards issued these five questions to the triangulation queen and like with other critical issues of the day she's opt out of taking a defined position. Well, unless the position she takes has been poll tested, stolen, and sometimes both. As we saw last week her strategy of triangulation strangulation is starting work on...her. More and more people are picking that she cannot give a straight answer to many questions. That of course, won't work out well for her, considering last seven years of hell that the country have been through with President PantsOnFire in command of the most deceptive, murderous and evil administration. People are sick to death of dodges.
In the words of John Edwards
People just want the truth.

Yes we do. Even if we don't like it. So in that vein, let me continue with the purpose of this diary....Clintons' non-position, no answers on th war.

Divide and Conquer. A timeless strategy in politics, war and even love sometimes. The last few days on the blogs have been crazy, ridiculous, stupid, racist, bigoted, dumb, did I mention ridiculous?
I read the most rancid of attacks, witness the most stupid assertions, seen people stretch rationalizations to the moon and back. Franky, I've had to take a step back. this is not the community that I know. WTF.

Flip with me.
EDWARDS STATEMENT ON GORE RECEIVING THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Today, Senator John Edwards released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Al Gore. The Nobel Peace Prize rewards three decades of Vice President Gore’s prescient and compelling – and often lonely – advocacy for the future of the Earth. His leadership stands in stunning contrast to the failure of the current administration to pursue policies that would reduce the harm of global warming.
“The Nobel Committee's recognition of Vice President Gore shines a bright light on the most inconvenient truth of all – the selection of George Bush as president has endangered the peace and prosperity of the entire planet.
“Two terms later, Americans are ready for bold change, ready to be patriotic about something other than war and ready to take action to stop global warming before it's too late. The stakes are sky-high – as Al Gore predicted, our Earth is in the balance.”

He's starting his case people. Should be interestin' to watch..
In a scathing attack, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards went after front-runner Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., Friday, calling her a "corporate Democrat," comparing top Clinton campaign strategist Mark Penn to former Bush aide Karl Rove and assailing Penn's ties to Blackwater USA, the embattled private firm of military contractors accused by the Iraqi government of firing upon and killing 11 unarmed Iraqi civilians last month.
"Bush has been a perfect example of cronyism because Blackwater has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republicans and to President Bush," Edwards said in an interview with the Associated Press while campaigning in Iowa. "I also saw this morning that Sen. Clinton's primary adviser, Mark Penn, who is like her Karl Rove -- his firm is representing Blackwater."
