"We're for universal health care for every single man, woman and child in America and we are going to fight for it every single day when we're running this country, when we're running the Congress, when we're running the White House."
This alone should make the Rats unviable as a political party for the next 50 years.
Sadly, the sheeple will sop it up.

Now tell me, why would a union worker, who pays diddly for health care, want universal coverage? Instead of having a choice, wouldn't that put him in the same heap the rest of us would be in when he seeks treatment?

Imagine public housing. Now, imagine public health care.
How's THAT for an image? Ugh.

Dems have plenty of backbone, lots of guts, a good pair of cojones but no brain, no conscience,no morality and no soul. They also lack a logical and intelligent foreign and domestic policy.
Chamberlain is their foreign policy advisor and their domestic policy guide is Soviet Collectivism - both failed icons.
Otherwise, they are just great people.

I think he has been misquoted. That should read
"backcomb."

The last thing I want is to wait for hours at some crowded clinic for the same level of "customer service" that I now get at the Post Office.
No thanks.

"We're for universal health care for every single man, woman and child in America and we are going to fight for it every single day"We don't need universal health care; all we need to do is elect John Kerry and people like Christopher Reeve will walk again....

We've got some loony woman running for the DFL here in MN and this has been her main campaign issue, the subject of her commercials.

Anyone else find irony in Edwards? The dude makes a fortune suing doctors, causing the price of healthcare to rise, making it less affordable, and then he has the nerve to suggest fixing the problem he helped create by throwing other people's money at it.
To: kromike
Interesting. Teddy Kennedy said the same thing, using the same "backbone" buzzwords yesterday. Sounds like a focus group product.
To: kromike
Edwards, the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2004, appeared with other party stalwarts such as former President Jimmy Carter at a convention of the Laborers' International Union of North America . . . For the life of me, I can't understand why unions are such strong supporters of these idiotic government initiatives. I believe one of the key factors in the long-term decline in union membership has been the fact that union-supported politicians have been so successful in implementing taxpayer-funded government programs that give all people the kind of things that unions used to secure for their members in the collective bargaining process.
Why join a union when some dopey jack@ss like John Edwards is willing to give you all those things without taking any union dues from you?

Read the title to the post....Edwards & Hump-back Hill (Broke-back Mountain) immediately came to mind......I know it's a little weird, but, Hollyweird & the PC sure played up on how great a movie it was suppose to be. Much like Sen. Barbie Exlax supposedly being qualified for VPOTUS.

I guess Edwards is saying they need Dems with backbones as stiff as his hair.
