ace....as opposed to the 800 lb gorilla following John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson?
"Straight-talking" John McCain who is now pandering to the religious right he was so critical of in the past...or has backtracked on campaign finance reform and other positions so that he can demonstrate his "true" conservative credentials to the far right.
Giuliani, the self-proclaimed homeland security advocate, whose incompetence, according to many NYC firefighters, was responsible for the deaths of many first responders...and who, as a member of the Iraq Study Group, failed to show up at even one meeting because it conflicted with fund raising events.
Fred Thompson, who now`calls himself a "political outsider", who was a lobbyist for 20 years during which time he lobbied for a savings-and-loan deregulation bill that helped bring about the industry’s collapse and a failed nuclear energy project that cost taxpayers more than a billion dollars. Not to mention being a paid lobbyist for a foreign dictator, deposed Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti.
Oh...and how can we forget GW Bush, who campaigned as a "compassionate conservative" and a "uniter, not a divider".....we know how that turned out.
Not that I am an Edwards defender.....he wont be my first choice.
But whats your point?
