Senator John Edwards Knowledge Base
Ex senator John Edwards said, "there are two different americas..."? "we still live in a country where there are two different Americas -- one for all of those people who have lived the American dream and don't have to worry, and another for most Americans, everybody else who struggle to make ends meet every single day." John Edwards Do you think that is so?
Senator John Edwards said, "there are two different americas..."? "we still live in a country where there are two different Americas -- one for all of those people who have lived the American dream and don't have to worry, and another for most Americans, everybody else who struggle to make ends meet every single day." John Edwards Do you think that is so? I do not think so. People think working is all about how much money you make. I have been living off of a $789 biweekly paycheck for two years. Do I want more money? Not really. I do not like my job and I want a different job. I am not proud of what I do and I dislike my job duties. I want to be an actuary. I passed the first exam and I am preparing for the second exam. Am I doing it for the money? No. You could not pay me enough to be a security officer. If you dislike your day job then you will get a different job.
Elisabeth Edwards is again attacking the other Democratic candidates, does this make John look weak? Do you think this helps him or hurts him? HE doesn't see to attack the other candidates. It's always her. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2007/08/elizabeth-edwar.html ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: In an interview in August's edition of The Progressive magazine, Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Senator John Edwards, D-N.C., takes candid shots at the other candidates battling for the Democratic nomination against her husband.
Considering the following, will you be voting for John Edwards? http://moveon.org/press/pr/release071107.html Former Senator John Edwards won MoveOn.org Political Action’s poll on the climate crisis which asked, “Which candidate’s position on dealing with the climate crisis do you prefer?” Of the field of eight Democratic hopefuls, Edwards received 33% of the total votes cast–more than twice the support of the next two candidates, Rep. Kucinich and Senator Clinton, who each garnered 15.7%. MoveOn member vote results: Edwards 33.10% Kucinich 15.73% Clinton 15.71% Obama 15.03% Richardson 12.60% Biden 3.06% Dodd 3.01% Gravel 1.78% Edwards' plan is to reduce the USA's greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by the year 2050. So, who's voting for Edwards?
Now that John Edwards is running for president, will any one ask him about his past statements on Iraq? Senator John Edwards, when asked about "Axis of Evil" countries Iran, Iraq, and North Korea: "I mean, we have three different countries that, while they all present serious problems for the United States -- they're dictatorships, they're involved in the development and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction -- you know, the most imminent, clear and present threat to our country is not the same from those three countries. I think Iraq is the most serious and imminent threat to our country." John Edwards, while voting YES to the Resolution authorizing US military force against Iraq: "Others argue that if even our allies support us, we should not support this resolution because confronting Iraq now would undermine the long-term fight against terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. Yet, I believe that this is not an either-or choice. Our national security requires us to do both, and we can." Senator John Edwards (Democrat, North Carolina)
Will John Edwards make a good president? He made a fortune suing folks and just built a milti-million dollar mansion in North Carolina. Also when he was our senator, he had a terrible record on attendance while in Washington for his term.
His name is John Edwards?!!!? In Virginia, there is a state senator named John Edwards! Is he a distant cousin of the US Senator John Edwards who is running for president?
Please contrast JFK in 1961 with John Edwards in 2007? John "Robin Hood" Edwards in 2007; "John Edwards says if he's elected president, he'll institute a New Deal-like suite of programs. Edwards, a former Democratic senator from North Carolina, says the federal government should underwrite universal pre-kindergarten, create matching savings accounts for low-income people, mandate a minimum wage of $9.50 and provide a million new Section 8 housing vouchers for the poor. He also pledged to start a government-funded public higher education program called "College for Everyone." http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071026/FRONTPAGE/710260384 JFK in 1961; "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." Do democrats nowdays just vote for the candidate that promises them the most free stuff?
Is Senator John Kerry a hemorrhoid? Why would John Kerry endorse Barak over John Edwards? John Kerry is a spineless, coward. He did not even have enough class to tell Edwards that he was endorsing Obama. Is he endorsing Obama because Senator Ted Kennedy told him to do it or is he a loser who is out of touch with Americans he wants 5 minutes of fame, or is he just a hemorrhoid?
Where will Senator John Edwards delegates go? Now after a second bid to be President John Edwards has dropped out of the race after low standings in the polls and personal issues. Will he put his support behind Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. I am hoping he puts his support behind Hillary like Senator Maxine Waters did. What is your vote and also email him and his base and ask them to support Senator Clinton.
Considering the following, will you be voting for John Edwards? Since other than human greenhouse gas emissions, there are no remaining explanations for the recent acceleration in global warming which haven't been disproven: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApKvie5J_.B1pnQlT7eTH0fsy6IX?qid=20070711133901AAvvAXX And this: Former Senator John Edwards won MoveOn.org Political Action’s poll on the climate crisis which asked, “Which candidate’s position on dealing with the climate crisis do you prefer?” Of the field of eight Democratic hopefuls, Edwards received 33% of the total votes cast–more than twice the support of the next two candidates, Rep.

So, who's voting for Edwards?
Who Should Barack Obama Choose As His Running Mate? Here are a few choices: General McPeak Governor Richardson Senator Dodd John Edwards Senator Biden Definitely Not Hillary Clinton Obama S. You really are showing your ignorance. General McPeak was the architect of Dessert Storm Air Campaign. I know, because I was under his command during the first Gulf War.
Who would Edwards choose for his VP nominee? Suppose Senator John Edwards gets the Democratic Presidential nomination. Who do you think he will choose for VP? 1) A man or a woman? 2) From which state? 3) From Congress or a governor? (See same questions for Romney, McCain and Huckabee) (See same questions for Clinton and Obama) Questions for Romney & Huckabee and Clinton & Obama are in voting. McCain needs more "nominees".
John Edwards and the 2 Americas? John Edwards is talking about the 2 Americas, the rich and the poor. Thats really something when someone super rich like Edwards is going to help the working class. I never understood the Democrats, which their tax and spend attitude would ever help any working class, or poor people in this country. Lets face most of the senaters are filthy rich they didnt get that way by giving a damn about anyone beneath them. The only good senators are the ones we vote out, then we dont have to listen to their bull about carring for the poor.
Did Rush Nail the Edwards Story? Rush Nailed the Edwards Story March 30, 2007 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: John Edwards -- we alluded to it earlier today -- is getting a significant bump, fundraising and poll rating bump, after his press conference a week ago yesterday, with his wife, Elizabeth. I just want to review this, folks, because, once again, I, your host, am the singular focus of attacks for pointing out that that might happen and that the Drive-Bys were looking at it that way when they still are. So here is Howard Fineman, which got my whole mind-set on this started. This was Thursday after the press conference, this is part of what he said after the Edwards press conference. FINEMAN: Looked at politically, diagnosed, if you will, politically, that was a ten strike of a press conference. They showed guts. It was nothing short of remarkable and somewhat unexpected, and it's always great when something unexpected happens around here. RUSH: What was unexpected was that the reports earlier were that the campaign is going to be suspended and they decided, nope, going to keep going, this is what I said. I predicted this after the Edwardses made their announcement. All during this, despite warnings from my frightened staff, despite the staff saying don't do it, Rush, don't go there, don't say it, you're going to get in trouble. I persevered. RUSH ARCHIVE: I think what the Edwards campaign is going to do here is see what the reaction is within the ranks of Democrat voters as far as this announcement today is concerned and then go on from there. If there's not a big jump, if this doesn't cause a breakout, if this doesn't cause a big up-tick then at some point Senator Edwards will probably have to suspend the campaign, depending on the health of his wife if she goes through treatment for this. Now, I just wanted to put that out there, because everybody -- you know, I should have predicted this before the program, what I thought, that they wouldn't get out of the campaign. And I used these exact words, folks, to three people last night and one person this morning. "This campaign goes on because of love of our country that we both have." Those exact words were uttered today by Senator Edwards. So we'll see if there's a bump from this. And you say, "Rush, how could you be so callous?" Hey, folks, politics, politics. I'll tell you right now, if you went to a website that tracks news hits, you'd find that Edwards is at the top of the AP news hits, probably had more hits with Edwards today than I had with Arnold Schwarzenegger yesterday, and I had hits all over the world with this. I was stunned. For somebody so irrelevant as I am, there were reports on the Schwarzenegger thing with me in Russia, in India, all over the world, 160 different news sources in this country alone. Edwards is going to get much, much more than that out of this. And campaigns are what they are. RUSH: And of course all during this I could see them waving me off on the other side of the glass, "Don't do it!" They're in the IFB, "You're going to get in trouble. You're going to get in trouble, don't say it." But I knew what I was talking about. Howard Fineman proved it. Then this morning on the Today Show, the whole subject of the Edwards bump was discussed. And Tim Russert, like Fineman, points to the news conference as the turning point. Meredith Vieira said, "How about John Edwards after he announced that he's staying in the race, despite the fact that his wife's cancer has returned, his numbers actually went up according to a TIME poll, up nine points, are you surprised by that, Tim?" RUSSERT: Some of his opponents have accused him of exploiting this issue, but right now it appears that the American people have said, "We heard you; we listened to you; and we in large part agree with your decision and we're taking a new and interesting look at your candidacy." The way they conducted themselves at the news conference I do think created a bond with the viewing public. You know, it's rare to see a politician out of the setting of answering political questions, and this was real human life, real life and death situation, everyone has been affected by cancer. RUSH: I'm just playing these bites because I predicted this despite warnings from a frightened and cowardly staff -- well, cowardly is going too far. Guarded, guarded staff. So right again, I mean you heard me say that there's a big jump going to go on, and we all knew there would be a big jump. That was not hard to say.
Why Clinton? Why Obama? why not John Edwards? what is so special about Clinton and Obama? come on do they really care about americans? is it because of there names? why not Edwards no one has told me a real good enough reason not to choose Edwards? hes a trial lawyer big deal Hillary is a capital hill phony. My honest choice is Obama and or Edwards until someone has a real reason why Edwards can't lead this country please take Bill Clintons advice on Edwards Stop, think and listen. Edwards and Hillary voted for the same things while they were both senators what makes Hillary better then Edwards come on people Edwards cares about America that is why he is in this race till then end going state to state with his message for change, come on people vote Edwards.
Do You Think The Smear Campaign on Rush Limbaugh has Hurt the Democrats? I mean even Senator John Edwards wife has joined the fray, and went on record to say that she was appalled at what Rush said. She did not hear him say anything. She was just speculating from what she heard from Rep. Harry Reid and Tom Harkin. Do we really want leaders who verbally assassinate citizens without the substance to back up their rhetoric?
Have you seen the consequences for senators that are pro illegal? http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2007/06/mccain_at_singl.html http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2007/06/mccain_drops_to.html The conservative Powerline blog says the poll is significant for McCain's "dreadful showing" of 7% and says a big chunk of his earlier support went to former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson, who is expected to enter the race next month. Over at The Shot, a roundup of state political news, they've posted a "get well" card for McCain's campaign Earlier this week there was word from a Mason-Dixon Poll in South Carolina that Sen. John McCain had dipped to fourth among Republican presidential hopefuls in that early-decision state. Now, a Mason-Dixon Poll of Republicans in even-earlier Iowa shows his support there at 6%. Leading the GOP field in Iowa: Mitt Romney at 25%. On the Democratic side there, Mason-Dixon has Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (22%) and former senator John Edwards (21%) basically tied -- with Sen. Barack Obama close behind at 18%. LS - You are simply Wrong! The race card is sooo worn out. It is usually used by those with NO REAL argument. Have a nice Day! auditor4u2007 Tom Tancredo:http://tancredo.house.gov/
Will the Hillary Obama feud result in a win for John Edwards? I was wondering with the crazy bickering and fighting between Senator Clinton and Senator Obama at the last few debates will John Edwards see a victory from this? The two fighting seem uncivil and childish in a way of attacking each other while the third canidate staying out of it all. Any chance now that John Edwards wins the nomination?
why doesnt obama salute the flag? The Truth: The picture is authentic. It was published in Time magazine and was taken 9/16/07 at an event in Indianola, Iowa where six Democratic presidential candidates appeared. It was Iowa Senator Tom Harkin's annual "meat and greet." The fourth person in the picture is Senator Harkin's wife, Ruth. Not seen in the picture are three other candidates who were standing out of view on the right side of the platform, Senator Chris Dodd, Senator John Edwards, Senator Joe Biden. At question is what was going on with Senator Obama? His critics are circulating the picture and saying that he is not respecting the flag or the national anthem, especially since the protocol, according to the United States Flag code, is that civilians should have their right hands over their hearts and that they should be facing the flag. His supporters are saying that this little lapse should not be held against him since there have been plenty of other events at which he has saluted the flag---so it did not mean that he would, in principle, avoid doing it. Some supporters have suggested that perhaps the picture does not tell the whole story and that he may have raised his hand shortly after it was taken. An ABC News video, however, shows that Senator Obama did not salute at any time during the anthem and that everybody else on the platform did. A spokesperson for the Senator told Fox News that it was ridiculous to suggest that Obama was making any kind of a statement and that sometimes "he does and sometimes he doesn't place his hand over his heart during the national anthem." Updated 10/29/07 A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:: had heard about this but a picture is definitely worth 1000 words! God save us!!! Respect Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem. Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that's his real name)......the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE.....how in the hell can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief???? The picture: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama-salute.htm
Why be outraged by Ann Coulter calling John Edwards a very derogatory term for being gay...? Coulter is a featured speaker at the 34th annual Conservative Political Action Conference. Some of the attendees include Governor Mitt Romney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO), Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) and former Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA). Vice President Dick Cheney also attended the event. Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney spoke before Coulter saying, ““I am happy to hear that after you hear from me, you will hear from Ann Coulter. That is a good thing.” After she used the f@ggot word in a veiled but very clear reference to John Edwards, the audience applauded and cheered. Is it right for republicans and their presidential candidates to cheer such hateful and despicable character assassination? It's all here in black and white; http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/03/03/cpac/ .
Hillary or Obama?? Who does John Edwards really favor for the Democatic nomination? This from politico.com's mike allen, today: http://dyn.politico.com/playbook/ One of the most interesting paragraphs written this cycle is by NEW YORK magazine's John Heilemann, on why Senator EDWARDS has not endorsed Senator Obama: "Speaking to Edwards on the day he exited the race, Obama came across as glib and aloof. His response to Edwards's imprecations that he make poverty a central part of his agenda was shallow, perfunctory, pat. Clinton, by contrast, engaged Edwards in a lengthy policy discussion. Her affect was solicitous and respectful. When Clinton met Edwards face-to-face in North Carolina ten days later, her approach continued to impress; she even made headway with Elizabeth. Whereas in his Edwards sit-down, Obama dug himself in deeper, getting into a fight with Elizabeth about health care, insisting that his plan is universal (a position she considers a crock), high-handedly criticizing Clinton's plan (and by extension Edwards's) for its insurance mandate."

How can repubes win in 08 when the third place dem candidate is beating out two of their frontrunners? Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards continues to chalk up impressive margins over GOP presidential candidates in Rasmussen Reports surveys of potential Election 2008 match-ups. In the latest poll Edwards leads Senator John McCain (R) by 13 percentage points, 49% to 36%. Over the past month, Edwards has almost doubled his margin over McCain. In May it was Edwards 48%, McCain 41%. Edwards also crushes former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) 51% to 33%. While still a rout, those numbers are actually a bit better for Romney than those from a month ago. who is the repube frontrunner then, rudy "I like to sleep with my cousin" gooliani it does make me feel better. I have never felt so alive.
EDWARDS Makes Dumbest Statement Ever by a Presidential Candidate? EDWARDS Makes Dumbest Statement Ever by a Presidential Candidate RUSH: To the audio sound bites. We're going back to the Democrat debate yesterday. The theme of the debate was that we should be talking with our enemies. The Breck Girl said that he's going to sit down at the table with Iran and make a proposal. EDWARDS: I think we have a clear path for America and for -- for our friends on Iran, and that path is to work with our friends in Europe to put up a choice between carrots and sticks on the table for the Iranian people. RUSH: Okay. When it comes to the real enemy, though, Edwards will not negotiate with evil, the drug companies. He will not appear on Fox News. But he will indeed go talk to the mullocracy, if you will, Ahmadinejad in Iran. EDWARDS: There's a fundamental question here. Whether you believe, whether voters believe the way we're going to have universal health care is to deal with those people, to make a deal with them. I don't. I don't think it will work. RUSH: Universal health care, single payer, that means everybody pays for everybody's health care in the form of much higher taxes and a rotten system that would result from it. But he doesn't want to get the drug companies involved; not going to talk to them; can't be done; can't strike a deal with evil pharmacies; can't strike a deal with Big Pharma, can't do it, no, no, no. We can go talk to Iran. We go talk to Castro. We can talk to all these people, but we can't talk to the drug companies, can't talk to fellow Americans. They are the real enemy. He was also asked a question from an e-mailer. Stephanopoulos read it. E-mail question from Seth Ford of South Jordan, Utah. "My question is to understand each candidate's view of a personal God. Do they believe that through the power of prayer, disasters like Katrina or the Minnesota bridge collapse could have been prevented or lessened?" EDWARDS: The answer to the question is no. I don't -- I -- I -- I prayed before my 16-year-old son died, I prayed before Elizabeth was diagnosed with cancer. I think there are some things that are beyond our control, and I think it is enormously important to look to God, and in my case, Christ, for guidance and for wisdom, but I don't think you can prevent bad things from happening through prayer. RUSH: All right. You may not be able to prevent bad things from happening through prayer, but you can make brilliant and great things happen by voting Democrat. October 11th, 2004, on the campaign trail. EDWARDS: When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again. RUSH: Right. So we're not going to pray to God for anything, no, no, no, but Democrats are going to do these be miracles. Democrats can stop the bridge collapses. Democrats can stop Hurricane Katrina. Democrats could re-steer that after Bush and Rove are steering it right into New Orleans and Minneapolis. But all of this, folks, is really insignificant compared to a story on an ABC blog that I found over the weekend. ABC News' Rick Klein reports, "When an Iowa resident asked former Senator John Edwards whether the US should follow the Cuban health care model, Edwards deflected the question, saying he didn't know enough to answer it." The Breck Girl said, "Well, I'm going to be honest with you, I don't know a lot about Cuba's health care system. Is it a government-run system?" Now, folks, this is perhaps the dumbest thing a political candidate has ever said. Yeah, ABC. "He also flip-flopped in the same appearance whether he had seen Sicko or not. First he said he had, and then he said he hadn't." Why do you have to see Sicko to know what Cuba's health care system is? This is worse than Dukakis and the tank. This is worse than Dan Quayle spelling potato with an e on it. This ought to disqualify him. He doesn't know what Cuba's health care system is? "Is it a government-run system?" I think this comes close to Gerald Ford with that faux pas in his debate where he said that the Eastern bloc of countries was not under Soviet domination. A guy running for president, we just heard a bite, talking about universal health care, he will not talk to the drug companies about it; he'll go meet with Iran and offer them a deal; we can't deal with real Americans; can't deal with the drug companies. But he doesn't even know what type of health care system Cuba has, when by reputation it's the best in the world, according to people on his side of the aisle.
Does anyone else think that John Edwards is a hypocrite because of this? Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards told a labor group that he would ask Americans to make a big sacrifice: their sport utility vehicles. "I think Americans are actually willing to sacrifice," Edwards said Tuesday during a forum held by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. "One of the things they should be asked to do is drive more fuel efficient vehicles." The former North Carolina senator was asked specifically if he would tell them to give up their SUVs, he said, "Yes." Edwards was asked during his appearance how he explained the contradiction of asking Americans to sacrifice while he's living in a 28,000-square-foot (2,600-square-meter) mansion. He said he came from nothing, worked hard all his life, has always supported workers and fought big corporations as a lawyer. "I have no apologies whatsoever for what I've done with my life," he said to loud cheers. He must be part of the Al Gore Everyone Must Sacrifice for the Environment but ME" Club. Can you remember the last time you DIDN'T see John Edwards step out of a private jet or SUV? MI- I am willing to bet that the Edwards' manison causes more pollution than 50 SUVs.
Who will John Edwards pick to be his running-mate ? Senator Feinstein ,Senator Boxer ,Governor Granholm , Senator Landrieu ,Senator McCaskill ,Senator Dorgan , and Senator Brown are possible running-mates .Let me know what you think . Bill Richardson would be an excellent running-mate for John Edwards .
Barack Obama and John Edwards as VP for 2008? Because of the clash between Obama and Clinton (old vs. new politics) would John Edwards, a new senator himself, fit in better with the new politcs of Barack Obama's campaign? mervin: The country will decide who wins, not some nobody sitting behind a computer screen.
Did the President make John Boy say this? Libs tend to blame Bush for their own party voting for the war Do libs believe in personal responsibility John Edwards, while voting YES to the Resolution authorizing US military force against Iraq: "Others argue that if even our allies support us, we should not support this resolution because confronting Iraq now would undermine the long-term fight against terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. Yet, I believe that this is not an either-or choice. Our national security requires us to do both, and we can." Senator John Edwards (Democrat, North Carolina) US Senate floor statement: "Authorization of the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq" October 10, 2002 http://edwards.senate.gov/statements/20021010_iraq.html Thanks douglas you proved my point LMAO
Can anyone explain what gives John Edwards the credibility to talk about intergrity and reforming the ethics?? The guy is a total bum...He was only determined to go after Senator Clinton and not talk enough about his plans for different issues in this country, during the debate. I think Kucinich was smart to point out about John Edward's own problem with taking the money from the hedge funds unlike Obama who just stood there silent, enjoying every moment of Clinton getting attacked from Edwards, just because she is a way ahead of him in the polls. The only choices among the democrats should be Hillary, Kucinich and Richardson and forget about the two biggest posers: Edwards and Obama. Damian- I would still take Hillary over Edwards because she has been focusing throughout her campaign to lay out the plans for the issues that's effecting our country. John Edwards has not done anything in the recent days, other then going after Senator Clinton. Also, John Edwards is the one who is busy running around the country as if he's the savior to the middle class and fight the poverty and yet, he cannot give a simple explanation to his $400 haircut. Damian-Actually him wasting $400 on his haircut does matter, since this whole debate is about questioning the other candidates integrity when their own is at a question.... Damian- Well Senator Clinton's campaign has returned all the donations that were linked to any fundraising irregularities.. I guess you if have the source to back it up otherwise, I would gladly take some time to look at it.So just like your candidate John Edwards, you continue attack Senator Clinton for the same mistakes that your own candidate has made. And no, I don't need to talk about real issues with a John Edwards supporter because I am already confident with Senator Clinton's plan for the issues and the method that she's going to approach once she get's elected. Damian- You just like to assume that Senator Clinton's own interest would compromise her judgement as to what's best for the country...The keyword here is "assume". To me, that is a lot more like what John Edwards would do. Hillary 08'!!!
Can John Edwards successfully make his case for the nomination? “Once and Always Trial Lawyer”? Can John Edwards successfully make his case for the nomination? “Once and Always Trial Lawyer” Francois de La Rochefoucauld had a point when he said, in his frequently quoted formulation, that hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue. In the case of John Edwards, however, hypocrisy is simply a way of life. The infamous $400 haircut — actually, some of his hairstyling sessions ran as much as $1,200 all told — wasn’t a freak embarrassment for a candidate so self-righteously devoted to the poor. It was part of a pattern so pervasive that it has become the defining aspect of Edwards’s candidacy. When he lambasted hedge funds for incorporating offshore to avoid or delay paying U.S. taxes, what could be more natural than that he made nearly $500,000 for part-time work at the Fortress Investment Group, with hedge funds incorporated in the Cayman Islands for tax purposes? When he hit other candidates for taking donations from Rupert Murdoch’s media holdings, wasn’t it inevitable that it would turn out he had taken $800,000 from Murdoch’s HarperCollins for a coffee-table book? Or when he attacked subprime lenders for foreclosing on victims of Hurricane Katrina, he would have $16 million — half of his net worth — invested in Fortress while it was foreclosing on a couple dozen homes in New Orleans? Most of us uphold ideals that we can’t meet, but liberal populism shouldn’t be such an impossible standard. The late Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone, a liberal populist to his core, never had such embarrassments. The former North Carolina senator is experiencing a kind of toxic shock from his synthetic political persona. In 2004, John Edwards was Mr. Congeniality, for no other reason than that seemed the market niche for him in the race. Today, he is the angry populist, for no other reason than that seems the market niche for him in the race. He thrived in the Iowa caucuses four years ago as the fresh new thing; this year he looks like a version of Dick Gephardt, the union-pandering populist with the negative campaign. Edwards’s anger has about all the heft and seriousness of a five-year-old’s tantrum. All candidates fear making a gaffe in one of the debates. Edwards has to worry that Hillary Clinton will blow on him and he’ll float away — like Mary Poppins with her magic umbrella, carried off by the unbearable lightness of his own political being. If a paranoid theory were needed to explain Edwards’s candidacy, there are two, equally plausible options. Is he a plant from the Democratic National Committee designed to make Clinton and Barack Obama look impressive by contrast with his sheer insubstantiality? Or is he a plant of the Republican National Committee designed to pull the top-tier candidates as far to the left as possible? On the big issues of the day, Edwards specializes in can’t-keep-his-story-straight contrivance. Democratic consultant Bob Shrum described in his book “No Excuses” how his political advisers talked Edwards into voting for the authorization of the Iraq War in the fall of 2002. Edwards vehemently denies it, but also says that he didn’t express “the huge conflict” he had in his own mind about the vote, which makes it sound like politics played as big a role in his decision as his conscience. On gay marriage, he said that he opposes it because of his religious background, but then explained that it had been wrong for him to say that. He now offers no real reason for his opposition. Surely, the hindrance is simply that it is the most politically contentious item on the gay-rights agenda. Edwards says on the campaign trail that he can beat the special interests the way he beat them in the courtroom as a trial lawyer. Back then, how John Edwards lived and his past record didn’t matter, so long as he told the jury what it wanted to hear. Edwards still seems to think he’s in the courtroom, which is why he is so deaf to the jarring incongruities of his lamentable campaign.

John Edwards wants Free Health Care & Free College for everyone, What else can we get for Free? "Edwards, a former Democratic senator from North Carolina, says the federal government should underwrite universal pre-kindergarten, create matching savings accounts for low-income people, mandate a minimum wage of $9.50 and provide a million new Section 8 housing vouchers for the poor. He also pledged to start a government-funded public higher education program called "College for Everyone." " http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071026/FRONTPAGE/710260384 Why work when you can just vote for Democrats? universal pre-kindergarten = Day Care I don't want to raise my kids anyway:) This new great socialist paradise is going to be so swell!

Why does the press give Senator Barrack Obama a free ride? Why is the press so impressed with this person? He never gets asked a tough question. He reminds me of another lightweight -- John Edwards. Both one term senators. Big deal. Where are these two men's answers to the issues of the day? When was the last time this country elected a member of the senate much less a one term senator? Obama gets free ride because he's black and Edwards because he's pretty. Why does the press think their **** doesn't stink? Hee Hee. I already read both of Bernie Goldberg's books Arrogance and Bias. Bias was the better of the two.

Is that the Fat Lady I hear clearing her throat? http://www.forward.com/articles/12555/ Edwards Fundraiser to Support Obama... Hours after former Senator John Edwards announced his exit from the presidential race, one of his most prominent Jewish fundraisers is backing Senator Barack Obama, the Forward has exclusively learned. Speaking this morning, Fort Lauderdale lawyer Mitchell Berger said the decision had been an easy one. “They are the two candidates who represent real change,” Berger said. “I will be supporting Barack Obama.” In 2004, Berger was the national finance co-chairman of Senator Joseph Lieberman’s failed presidential bid. He said that he has heard from a number of fellow Edwards supporters by phone and email today and, after reeling off a half-dozen names of fellow donors who had joined the Obama campaign, predicted the “vast majority” of Edwards’s supporters would follow suit.

I am confused! Is Obama a possibility for 2008 pres? Read this excerpt from the new york times 10/10 "Four Democratic presidential candidates announced yesterday that they would not take part in the Democratic primary in Michigan"...."But former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico and Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware said yesterday, the deadline for withdrawing from the ballot, that they would sit out the race." So does this mean that Obama can't be the Democratic party canidate for president in 2008? Please help!!!! link to news story Thanks! http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/10/us/politics/10michigan.html?n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/People/O/Obama,%20Barack
Why do some cons call Hillary Hitlery? Do you realize that over 90% of jews in congress are Democrat or side with Democrats? http://www.jewishsf.com/content/2-0-/module/displaystory/story_id/24044/format/html/displaystory.html That 87% of jews voted Democrat in the last election. http://www.israelnetdaily.com/redir.php?headline=95161 And that Hillary is expected to get the most jewish donations of all the Democratic candidates? Why would jews vote for Hillary if she was like Hilter? ================ Rabinowitz, who also “has been helpful” to former North Carolina senator John Edwards, said that “sexy guy” Illinois Senator Barack Obama and Delaware Senator Joseph Biden — “an extremely well-known quantity” to Jews — among others, would get “a piece” of Jewish largesse. But “it just won’t compare to what she gets.” http://www.forward.com/articles/hillary-the-favorite-in-race-for-jewish-donations/ golfer, Excellent answer. =)
