I have heard quite a few dem politicians and candidates that have campaigned on the idea of having fully paid for college educations for the poor...not just Edward

Just who are these so-called "poor?" The brief AEI study that I ref'd in a recent post to a different thread, demonstrates how lousy our "poverty" stats are. Edwards really needs to be called on his misleading use of "the poor." "...Recently, Rush Limbaugh cited a study by a scholar from AEI (Nicholas Eberstadt) who demonstrated that today's "poverty" standards are equivalent to US middle class living standards of the 1960s. Transfer payments aren't included in calculating "poverty income," etc....

AEI Poverty Study..."

You have statistics...but Edwards and the dems have the propaganda DOWN to a fine art...telling Americans that we are a society of the "haves" and "have nots"...

Edwards tried to use the "two Americas", in 2004...and all he has done since then is travel around saying that...and selling a house for MILLIONS...

IOW, for over two years he hasn't had to work...and yet tries to tell you and I, we aren't doing enough for the people in New Orleans, Uganda, "poor city, country"...
