If Edwards' Two Americas was true, you'd see only poor minorities rescuing poor minorities in the aftermath of Katrina.

""We see the poor and working class of New Orleans who don't own a car and couldn't evacuate to hotels or families far from the target of Katrina," Edwards said in e-mail messages to supporters Friday "We see the suffering of families who lived from paycheck to paycheck and who followed the advice of officials and went to shelters at the Civic Center or the Superdome or stayed home to protect their possessions." "

Ok... you have identified something you apparently think is a problem. Now, what is your recommendation? As I read this you have none, just a complaint. The implication is that this should be all our problem or we are morally deficient.
The further implication is that we should vote for Edwards and his fellow travelers so they can involuntarily take our resources (taxes) and give them to someone who they decide needs to have what they are taking...

John Edwards and Hillery are from the same school of thought... we are going to take from you and give to those we view as needy... If you object you are a (1) racist; (2) uncaring miser; (3) morally corrupt; (4) a follower of Bush.
We have heard this enough... either lead, follow or get out of the way and quit obstructing people who really, really want to solve problems.

This might have something to do with the problem...

He's just exited because the new phone book came and his name is in it.


Breck Boy: The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need! My name in print! That really makes somebody! Things are going to start happening to me now.

LOL!

The little sissy John Edwards likes to think that there are two Americas that he can use to fill both his pockets.He's just another weasel of the left who is worthless during times when this country needs the service of real men.

Oh! I'd forgotten about him.

So... what did his buddies in the democratic party do for the "other America" that was left to fend for themselves?

Dear Karl,

Nice thought but I'm one of the elite, I just tell everyone about the disparity. You really didn't think we actually were going to "live" with or like the poor wretches did you or help them out? We just egg them on. Conflict brings about great opportunity for us lawyers don't you know. Wow, George Orwell was right you are a third rate mind.

Working class? I consider myself "working class". I have a job and I work. The picture that seems to be forming are these people doing the most whining are the self-imposed do nothings.

I see two Americas. Small businessmen who provide jobs for people and scumbag attorneys who try to put them out of business.

I guess that's why he chose to go work at UNC-CH rather than NCCU.

Ouch! LOL

You had to know it was going to happen!

I think I'll call his office and ask him what he and his college pals did for these people BEFORE last Monday?

And I do mean other than take them for granted.

I'm sure he must have been to NO before the storm and warned them all to get out.

I had to double-check to see if this was a legit headline, or what seemed far more likely to me....a fake headline making fun at Edwards' worn out campaign sctick.

"I see two Americas"

Then stop drinking!!!!!
