John Edwards Cares about YOU! The candidate feels your pain, even if you don't.

The only person this scum sucking lawyer cares about is himself.

Democracy requires an educated, sober, visionary citizenry to succeed. When the polis in Rome had become full of people only wanting bread and circus's they went to the imperial system. While there were a lot of troubles with this system it did give Rome another few hundred years of greatness.

Perhaps it is time we consider making the transition ourselves. Any electorate dumb enough to vote for someone like edwards (and millions have) can't long run a great country.

I love this "...television consultants advise local news departments to put the words "you" or "your" in every promotion..."

The Weather Channel has perfected this bit of Barnum & Bailey. Listen to every TV personality on TWC--they all say "YOUR morning here in LA", "YOUR commute here in Philly", "OUR weekend here in Dallas".

Such phony "home-iness" that is. Maybe Edwards can step right into a lead role as a weather-reader at TWC.

...his now-famous "Two Americas" stump speech...

There are actually Three Americas. The rich, the poor, and the leftwing parasitic morons who buy Edward's ambulance-chasing crapola.

[Condor51]

Well Edwards is right about the 'Two Americas.

There's one for scum-sucking bottom-feeding lawyers..
Then there's the rest of us - aka, victims of lawyers.

If John Edwards cares about me, he will cut taxes so the economy will flourish.

If John Edwards cares about me, he will work to reform tort law so doctors can afford to stay in practice to treat me.

If John Edwards cares about me, he knows what time zone I live in . . .

[Inspectorette]

Well, I'm definitely not rich, but not poor either. Sure hope there's a fourth category, 'cause if there isn't, then I'd only have one category left, and I don't fit into the "leftwing parasitic moron" ;-)

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Good pointte!

We've already we're already well into our empire stage, it's only a matter of one dirty nuke in a major metropolis to put us under the yoke of a ceaser. Maybe Bush will be the first to be crowned. Maybe during Kerry's administration. Either way, it isn't "great" to lose the Republic.

Today’s the primary election here in Wisconsin and I can’t decide whether to vote for Dean or Edwards. What do you think?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Do not let the democrat party leadership disenfranchise you.

Vote for Al Sharpton!

Maybe Edwards can step right into a lead role as a weather-reader at TWC.

Blow-dried Johnny has the credentials to be a top-notch weather boy (or news reader). He really is in the wrong line of work.

By the way, I'm wondering - since he decries the "two Americas" so much, do you think Johnny would let me have one of his three multi-million dollar houses, just so I could see what life is like in his America? I'll take the beach house, Johnny.

[tractorman]

I was thinking about Al Dullton or even Dennis Kookcinich but they don’t have a prayer now. I want to vote for a viable contender to Kerry so the DemoncRATS keep peeing away their money on each other so I figure it’s either Edwards or Dean.

[oldironsides]

I heard Edwards mention that "no child in America should go to bed hungry" in his talk to a crowd. He is a U.S. Senator and still in office. He knows where hungry kids could be living, he should stop wasting his money on himself and get some food to them. What is it wiht these Democrats? Parental neglect is not in their vocabulary? The GOP starves kids now?

[mountaineer]

he should stop wasting his money on himself and get some food to them.

True not only of Johnny Edwards, but Kerry, Kennedy, the entire boatload of multi-millionaire Dems in Congress, the Hollywood elite and George Soros. It's easier for them to demand that George W. Bush take our money and spend it on the non-existent starving children in America - and curse him for his sadistic cruelty toward same - than to offer any help from their own coffers.

[codercpc]

Go for Dean!!!!

I live in Wisconsin also, but in my township the only thing on the ballot is the Presidential Primary, no local races, referendums, etc...

I can not decide if I want to go vote for Dean, happily vote for President Bush, or just skip the whole thing.

It's funny because I very rarely watch network TV, but I was this morning, and I got to see 3 Dem commercials for the first time. I was only listening and not watching, but all of a sudden a John Edwards commercial was on. The thing that struck me the most was how incredibly annoying his voice was!!!! I love a southern drawl, but he has a whining, grating edge to his voice that sent chills up my spine. It's funny because I never noticed it before.

BTW, did you know Kerry was a Vietnam Veteran?

[codercpc]

I am in the same boat as you. According to the "Averages" they tell me I am very close to the "Top 5%", but I sure don't feel close to rich. My husband and I were starting our taxes the other day, and since I took a new, better paying job last year, this is our first year in this income bracket. My whole life I have heard about the loopholes that only the "rich" can utilize, WHERE IN THE HECK ARE THEY?
