In John Edward's Defense

I never saw John Edwards stand at a lectern and claim that he was a saint. I always thought of Edwards as a good Democrat who represented well the morals and values of his Party, and the people who vote for his Party's nominees.

I still do.

The Republican Party still gives lip service to the moral issues of our day. Though inconsistent, they are generally pro-life, and on occasion stand in the way of the gay agenda. There are a few honorable, even Godly Republicans in office, but in general they represent very poorly the people who vote for them.

You can't say that of John Edwards.

When Democrats stood with women who sought the right to kill full-term infants through partial birth abortion... Edwards stood with them. Edwards supports the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act... As he stands with the Gay lobby.

Everything on God's green earth reduces to a core struggle between good and evil. Everything... Including politics. If during his confession Edwards had looked to the heavens, raised his voice and cried, "Lord, against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight..." He would have betrayed the values, goals, and moorings of the Democrat Party.

John Edwards is a good Democrat.
