After listening to him, I think I see a new slogan for them: Kerry-Edwards 2004, 8% unemployment 2006. I mean, you raise taxes, cutting incentive and investment, you raise the minimum wage, where do you think the economy will go?

Little Johnnie, show me those hungry and ill clothed children and I'll show you negligent parents. We have umpteen programs to take care of children's needs. We don't need any more.

Edwards really isn't very bright...I can't wait for Cheney to get his hands on him in the debates.

I kept thinking if kids went to bed hungry it was because the parents didn't care, were on drugs or booze. Even when it was just me earning $3.50 an hour I kept my 2 boys fed, clothed out of rummage sales, and made sure they got their shots, and other medical care. That was when health ins only took care of the ER and hospital stays. Course we didn't have a phone or cable. Kids didn't have game machines or $200 sneakers.

Edwards couldn't even handle Russert. Cheney will embarrass him. IMO

Huzzah!! A few years ago, my first child was born with severe hydrocephalus. He was sent home to die, but my wonderful wife would not let that happen on her watch. He lasted almost a year and required a staggering amount of medical care. My wife could not work due to his needs. I was bringing home $908 per month. This was the mid-nineties, folks. We scrimped, saved, sacrificed, and, yes, bought second hand clothes. Several state and federal agencies literally begged me to take WIC, SSI, and any other alphabet soup hand out you could imagine. I wouldn't take it. I was accused of being stupid and stubborn but I stood my ground. Guess what... We always had food on our table and every bill got paid.

I even had a lady from WIC tell me that I should take the assistance even if I could afford to feed my child. I told her that if more people thought as I did and fewer beauracrats like her tried to justify their jobs, the economy wouldn't have been in such a piss poor condition. She didn't ask again...
