I know I already did this on Sunday, but it got buried as part of my Dem debate liveblog. Supposedly YouTube will eventually be converting their format, so (hopefully) I’ll be able to listen to embedded videos, but in the interim, mash here and fast-forward to 5:01 of the YouTube/John Edwards interview (or if you want to hear Breck Girl express some shock at the YouTuber calling the segment “shotgun”, 4:45). I’ll repeat my quick summary of the shotgun round of “right or privilege” –
College education – “Right.” Health care – “Right.” A livable wage – right. Owning a handgun – (pause) “Privilege.” American citizenship for someone not born here but worked here one year – “That’s a hard one because I think people have to earn citizenship… Has to be longer than 1 year…. Privilege” 5 years? – “Right.” Access to the internet – “Right.”
Edit (steveegg, 5:51 am 6/7/2007) – Put in a few words requested by the poster (see below). I usually do not do this, BTW.
I had actually seen this the other day. So besides the global war on terror He doesn’t seem to believe in the bill of rights or the constitution either. This is only one of my many problems with Dims. They’ve gone so far left, how can they ever come beck to even be close to moderate. And I live in Mass. Figure that one out.
I’m not a johnny come lately to the right either. My first pres. election was Reagan, and I’ve never looked back, never been tempted to go the other way. Get in a lot of…”debates” up here.
I don’t know where this went. I swear it was there when I hit post. Between the and he on the first line should be the words global war on terror
Gotcha covered (even though I do loathe editing comments).
I’m a bit younger than you, so I missed out on voting for Reagan. The 1984 campaign did, however, play a pivotal role in making me the conservative I am. That story will take more than a few drinks to get told, however.
Thank you steve. Great job on the site BTW. Sorry about the editing. Most people on here are a bit younger than me unfortunately
