Wants America To Resist Troop Surge In Iraq

(CBS/AP)NEW YORK Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is calling on Americans to resist President Bush's planned troop escalation in Iraq. His plea echoes one by the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior 40 years ago to end the Vietnam War.

Edwards addressed about 1,200 parishioners today at Riverside Church in New York City. The Manhattan congregation is where King delivered his famous "Beyond Vietnam" speech on April 4, 1967. King was assassinated exactly one year later.

Edwards spoke from the same wooden pulpit King used and was introduced by King's son, Martin Luther King III. The younger King said his father would have admired Edwards' commitment to fighting poverty.

It was a high-profile appearance for Edwards on the home turf of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Democratic presidential front-runner has been decidedly more cautious in speaking out against the war and the proposed troop escalation.

Why should anyone vote for this idiot....He voted for the war before he turned against it.......He has now said I MADE A MISTAKE...

The breck girl will take every opportunity to get his face out there.

They need to ban politics from churches. Any church that promotes poltics from the pulpet should be forced to pay taxes.

I, for one, admire a man who can admit that he has made a mistake. It WAS a mistake to vote for this horrid war, and anyone who can admit such a mistake is infinitely more qualified to be President, IMHO, than someone who voted for it and cannot make such an admission.

Richard Nixon, for example, would be remembered as one of the greatest two term presidents of the modern era if he had stepped up early and admitted that he had been overzealous in his quest for intelligence on McGovern's campaign plans. If he had stepped up and taken responsibility for the breakin, fired all those who had anything to do with it, and apologized, he still would have won in a landslide, but his second term and his legacy would have remained intact.

Nixon's mistake was not trusting in the American people. He won by a landslide even before watergate became known. Americans did not want liberal socialist running the country in those days and showed it at the polls. Now days its different. The socialist have taken over the democratic party.

The breck girl is playing the socialist in order to get himself in the running for the presidency. To me there's nothing lower than a rich socialists. They are hypocrites.

the point I was debating was whether or not we should vote for him because he voted for the war before he turned against it. try to keep up.

NO WE SHOULDN'T...It doesn't matter to me anyway, I would never vote for a Democrat....:eek2:

[TheSage]

Would socialists give their corporate buddies exemption from a minimum wage hike? That sounds like fascism to me.

then why, pray tell, are you all up in arms about the goings on in the democratic primary game?

I have an idea: you guys pick that republican that you want to run for president in '08 and I promise not to interfere in the process.... and you let democrats pick who they want to run and you not interfere in OUR process. Then.... on election day, you follow through and never vote for a democrat and I'll do the opposite and , at the end of the night, we'll see who the rest of America went for. How's that?

[Grumplestillskin]

Huh? Nobody's interfering with anybody. People are allowed to comment on politicians, no matter what party they are from.
