Unpersuasive Endorsements

The Courant’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton was as predictable as it was unpersuasive [editorial, Jan. 27, “Sen. Clinton For Democrats”]. Sunday’s editorial begins by disingenuously stating only two Democratic candidates have presidential timber: Clinton and Barack Obama. The intentional omission of John Edwards speaks enormously to The Courant’s prejudice.

Edwards’ presidential timber was evident in ‘04 when running against John Kerry and eventually becoming Kerry’s running mate. What’s changed since then is that Edwards has recognized the danger unregulated corporations pose and has advocated for change.

What The Courant calls “neo-populist attacks on corporate America” are the result of Edwards having spent the past four years outside the Beltway among average Americans. He has witnessed the consequences of unregulated corporate conduct and its ill effects on the middle class. Jobs outsourcing, corporate tax avoidance, unrestricted profiteering, and vanishing health care and retirement benefits have all worked to the detriment of the American worker. Edwards has championed their cause, and The Courant, being part of a corporation, disparages him for doing so.

Hillary has the most corporate money of all candidates and is safely in the pocket of corporate America. Everyone can rest assured that hers will be a business-friendly - that is to say, anti-consumer - administration.

Let’s see if we can track her to Wallingford. :)

"Not only did the judge in the case award her ex-husband custody last year of their 3-year-old son, John, but he also told Khawam to pay his legal bills amounting to $350,000. Khawam filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in April after racking up more than $3 million in debt, according to federal court records.
