Comments on: Does John Edwards Write for the NY Times? http://gayconservative.org/2007/05/27/does-john-edwards-write-for-the-ny-times/ Resource for Gay Conservatives Sat, 26 May 2012 12:01:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Steve http://gayconservative.org/2007/05/27/does-john-edwards-write-for-the-ny-times/#comment-9 Mon, 28 May 2007 18:45:17 +0000 http://gayconservative.org/2007/05/27/does-john-edwards-write-for-the-ny-times/#comment-9 Well I do not believe that Democrats are being elected on the basis of support from anti-war nuts. I believe that much of the media has been mis-leading with the alleged “polls” regurgitated by fine establishments like Newsweek and by CBS. If indeed these Democrats are representing the anti-war crowd, they would vote in step with them. But unfortunately, the mainstream Dems cannot hold one position in the area of national security.

Republicans by in large has maintained the same position since day one.

This is not good news for Dems who are using the anti-war crowd to win the primary but then have to cleverly flip-flop to attract the moderates nescessary to actually win the real election in 2008.

I really don’t think America is that dumb and I think the Democrats’ presidential candidates are terrified.

Except of course for John Edwards who thinks that the entire country as big of sissies as he is.

When we vote, do we vote to elect representatives who will, despite their own convictions, fight to represent the opinions of their constituents, or do we vote to elect leaders who will do what is right, even if said action is contrary to the wishes of their constituents? And what about the latter who *think* they’re doing right, but not?

And about those elected leaders…. do they fight to represent those who voted for them, for the greater good, or for their own personal gain?
