November 14, 200916 yr Do you remeber the stir over John Edward's $400 haircut? Fox reported yesterday that this bit of info was released by the Obama camp. Obama wins by savaging people's personal lives with 'cheap tricks'. I don't like Edwards and his phony populism, but Obama has no real work resume to be President, so he resorts to 'cheap tricks' like old 'Tricky Dick' Nixon.
November 14, 200916 yr That sounds like something Fox News would report. Who cares what happened during the election. This really isn't a big deal. Even if it's true, I'm sure EVERY campaign does things like that.
November 14, 200916 yr I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read John Edwards and Tricky Dick in the same paragraph.

Even if it's true, I'm sure EVERY campaign does things like that. Wasn't the argument for ignoring Obama's thin resume about his bringing a change to Washington?
November 14, 200916 yr Is this better or worse than the Bush camp insinuating that John McCain's adopted daughter was actually his real daughter from an affair?
November 14, 200916 yr Is this better or worse than the Bush camp insinuating that John McCain's adopted daughter was actually his real daughter from an affair? Don't them off so easily. Add in "with a black woman" and you'll have it complete.
November 14, 200916 yr Is this better or worse than the Bush camp insinuating that John McCain's adopted daughter was actually his real daughter from an affair? Is it better or worse that Edwards actually has a real child from an affair? I agree w/ you to an extent, but two wrongs don't make a right or some other expression I learned when I was younger. Politicains on both sides lost their way a long long time ago. Pretty sad for the rest of us.

Pretty sad for the rest of us. Certainly worse on Edwards having an affair than McCain NOT having one. I'm not sure I follow you on anything more than that.
November 14, 200916 yr Once again I ask, who cares? And why should I take anything reported by Fox News seriously?
November 15, 200916 yr Certainly worse on Edwards having an affair than McCain NOT having one. I'm not sure I follow you on anything more than that. I really don't care if McCain had an affair or not. I want the country to go in the right direction. I don't care which side gets us going that way. I think they're all crooks right now.
November 15, 200916 yr Seems like some posters are using the "he did it to" defense. Again I ask, was Obama about change or not? If not, how can you justify voting for him on his thin resume?
November 15, 200916 yr Once again I ask, who cares? And why should I take anything reported by Fox News seriously? So you're saying the story is false because Fox reported it?
November 15, 200916 yr Seems like some posters are using the "he did it to" defense. Again I ask, was Obama about change or not? If not, how can you justify voting for him on his thin resume? I can justify it based on choices. I could not vote for McCain with Palin as his runningmate. Additionally, my beliefs more closely aligned with Obama's platform than McCain's. That being said, I still might have voted for McCain had Palin not been his pick. As for the "he did it, too" defense, as I said, if this is true, then they're both guilty. However, talking about a haircut and talking about lies of an illegitimate child, as opposed to an adopted child, are quite different.

However, talking about a haircut and talking about lies of an illegitimate child, as opposed to an adopted child, are quite different. I think the point was not about the haircut or any of the other stuff. It was the lie that Obama told and keeps telling that he is about change and a new way of doing things and he isn't. The mythical image he has created and has been swallowed hook, line and sinker by his blinded supporters is a total fabrication. That, I believe, is the point of the story and thread. Not the actual haircut or what others did. Obama had his minions doing the same thing everyone else did and then he denied having any part of it. And most of his supporters drunk that koolaid willingly. His camp attacked Bill Clinton and alluded to him being a racist in the South Carolina race. They are as dirty handed as any and yet Obama and his supporters want people to believe they are above that. I believe that is the point that bball was trying to make.

Allow some of us to make a different point, instead of picking a choosing just one. $400 haircut does not equate with spreading lies that someone's adopted child is actually from an affair.
