A close relative of similar age /situation to Mrs Edwards has breast cancer & is waiting to have a PET scan after the cat & bone scans to determine if operating is a possibility . This will be her 3rd surgical ntervention -but will be risky. She has been on vert trad chemotherapy plus 2 years of herceptin. If operating is not possible her life may be prolonged by TYKERB.

My point here is that in our national insurance scheme the herceptin & tykerb -2 extremely expensive drugs are free.

Uppity, is that Phyllis Chesler? I worked with her on a campaign 19 years ago here in NY. She’s a good role model for feminist women. She doesn’t knife other women in the back. I was in awe of her because she was so accomplished.

PS The other thing that I forgot – Keith tried to imply that the long nomination process is hurting the
debate on real issues like health care and she
said, there would be plenty of time to discuss this after the primaries are over.

Elizabeth Edwards was just on Olbermann. I saw her
as I was scrolling through and stopped to listen since I no longer watch him.
She said that she is not endorsing a candidate but
will speak out when a candidate shares the views
she has. Keith tried to push her into endorsing but
she was pretty emphatic she wasn’t going to but
she did a great job of advocating Hillary’s position on health care.

This is fantastic news! As I watch CNN with Campbell Brown (ugh) as it engages in it’s usual pro-Obama slant, I would laugh if it wasn’t so disturbing. The media should NOT have so much power to manipulate and twists facts in a way that distorts the truth. It is as if we are in the Soviet Union again with it’s propoganda media controlling the truth or lack thereof. I hope and pray that John Edwards will come out and endorse Hillary Clinton so that at least one important democrat has some common sense and is immune from the Obama hypnosis.

Another reason the MSM and thier corp. paymasters hate Hill now more than ever, is a Hillary Clinton presidency will turn back the tide of privatization that has been eating away at good government for 8 years. She will get government to work and will there for raise people’s expectations about what thier government can do for them.

This will take billions from the corps and keep democracy funtioning & they don’t want that.

When I heard Kerry say it was a non starter, I needed a doctor!

He would know, wouldn’t he. The Repubs go “BOO!” and he pulls into his shell.

This is really like an Edwards endorsement….or pretty damn close! If you give a hang about Heath Care , you have to go with Hill. When I heard Kerry say it was a non starter, I needed a doctor! I was about to throw up! JESUS these lay down elite Dems….oh it’s a non starter? So let’s not even try

Why does the MSM hate Hillary?

Mostly, the males, especially the gross ones like Matthews and Cafferty, think their pee pees will fall of if a woman becomes president. As for the women, I could do hours on the self-loathing thing. There’s an old Chesler book called Woman’s Inhumanity to Woman that kind of fills the bill.

The more they attack Hillary, the more I ask why. Why does the MSM hate Hillary? Since when has the MSM favored anybody decent? Hence, if the MSM loves Obama, he is a not a decent candidate. And if they hate Hillary, she must be great. Not that that is the only criteria, but the media attacking her so visciously does give her big time “cred” in my mind.

Marjorie,

I was a John Edwards supporter who came rather tepidly to favor Hillary Clinton.

As the attacks got nastier and the lies more egregious I began taking a closer look at her. The more I looked the better I liked her. And the more she stood up to attacks coming from the Right, Most of Left Blogostan, Democratic Leadership and Democrats who had promised to support her and then didn’t the more I liked her.

Now I think she’s the best of all the candidates and that includes John Edwards. She’s incredibly strong. She’s smart. She’s gonna make one hell of a president if she gets the chance.

And this is all thanks to the pinheads that attacked her. Because I doubt I would have taken as close a look as I did if the unfairness and the misogynistic attacks hadn’t pysted me off & got those old feminist juices flowing.

I wonder how many other women they have not only driven to support her, but have driven to support her with real passion. Damn short sighted of them, but then the whole bunch hasn’t 1/2 her brains or class on her worst day.

I so admire Elizabeth and John. I’m so sorry that the political world and the MSM makes it impossible for the best candidates to succeed. By all rights it should be Edwards and Clinton right now in the race. I’m thrilled that Elizabeth is ignorning the politics and just stating her opinion on the health care plans.

You have to admire John Edwards for not jumping on the “pick me for VP” bandwagon that is happening over at Obama’s campaign… as they line up behind him, and not one even questioning the idea of a president with scant credentials and a VP of impressive experience. I mean.. didn’t we just suffer through 7 years of that???
