[...] Let’s see now: – HE was for it before HE was against it. – SHE was for it before SHE voted against it. – This means that what this guy said about the man who was president from 1993 to 2001 (”no core beliefs”) is apparently true of at least two of the his party’s three major 2008 presidential candidates. – Surely, BHOO (Barack Hussein Obambi Obama) looks “good” (as in relatively consistent) by comparison — for now.

Wow. What a ride to first have my video embedded by HotAir and then picked up by Drudge.

Just the mere thought that in some small way I helped discredit a presidential candidate or that I got John Edwards to curse CaptiousNut, has put a smile on this part-time, self-amusing blogger’s face that won’t be fading anytime soon.

[...] Anyway, via Instapundit, someone found Edwards talking about the war on terror in 2001. He seemed pretty adamant that he would support the “bumper sticker” until it’s conclusion. [...]

How dare he change his mind on something!

Yeah, that’s our Silky. A true man of conscience, whose reversals of opinion incidentally coincide with trends in public opinion polls. If this were dKos and they were running a comparable clip of a Republican, you’d be hooting your ass off. What a hack.

How dare he change his mind on something! Doesn’t he know that once you’re in the public eye you have to hold your views for the rest of your life? If you don’t people will get confused and make posts on blogs about it!

Wait a minute. Edwards thinks actual policy should not be based on “bumber sticker” slogans? He must have just announce he was leaving the Democratic party because there is no way a liberal could say that with a straight face.

[...] John Edwards of 2007 is also haunted by the John Edwards of 2003-4. While he now panders to the liberal blogosphere and stresses his almost born-again devotion to the anti-war movement, his past views have not been forgotten. Edwards has gained recent publicity for correctly criticizing the state of hysteria created by the Bush administration’s use of the “war on terror.” In return, conservative blogs such as Hot Air are now posting video clips of John Edwards embracing the ”war on terror” in the past.

You know…

Al Gore charges in his new book that the administration was at fault for Americans believing that Iraq was involved with 9/11. This is a claim that Richard Clarke, Joe Wilson, and basically every Democratic hack has made for years.

It isn’t true, because 78% of Americans believed that Saddam played some role in the attacks on September 13, 2001 – the day that Osama bin Laden was announced as the man behind the attacks.

Yet we had John Kerry on TV saying that we should expand the war on terror to Saddam. We had Rather say so? Who else did we have saying so right after 9/11?

Wouldn’t it be funny if the people accusing Bush of fooling Americans into believing Iraq had a role in 9/11 were actually the ones doing it themselves? It would make for quite a devastating video montage if it could be put together….

Lucky for Edwards liberals take a pledge (when they sign up) to either be idiots or dishonest, so Dem politicians will get away with this stuff all day long.
