You see, poverty will be eradicated once Silky Pony becomes President. Also the crippled will walk, the blind will see, extinct species will recover, and the planet will cool down.
The most cost effective way to accomplish all of these goals is to elect John Edwards. So it is completely appropriate that money donated towards these causes should be directed into John Edwards' political slush fund, where it will do the most good.

The New York Times looks schizophrenic on this one. Of course, it is a hit piece on Edwards, ordered by ... ahem ... another candidate. On the other hand, the Headline Editor tries his best to spin it favorably for Edwards. The article itself alternates between a fairly straightforward treatment of the diversion of poverty funds to filthy rich political operatives and inserts about how Edwards is raising "awareness" and accomplishing great things in the fight against poverty ... by enriching filthy rich political operatives.

edweirds is just like a TV Evangelist named Reverend Ike... used to be in Atlanta area I think. Ike drove a Rolls and he would come on in $5000.00 suits and wearing Rolex watches and say, “The best way that I can help poor people... is by NOT being one of them”!
31,000 square foot mansion, $400.00 haircuts, cucumber eye treatments and only GOD knows what else this POS spends money on primping... he is so far from the poor that you can’t get there from where edweirds is. What an elitist phony this nancyboy truly is!

Don't underestimate this. A lot of gimme-gimme malingerers see trial lawyers as godlike figures. You should see how they're praised over on the DUmmies board.
Thank goodness that the majority of American society doesn't see them this way, but "lawyer" shows like "The Practice" and "Boston Legal" are there to re-educate the public in this regard.

Mr. Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, set out to keep his political options open by promoting issues he cared about, like poverty... He wanted to learn, travel and be in a position to be a viable candidate, said J. Edwin Turlington, a Raleigh lawyer who was the manager of Mr. Edwards 2003 presidential exploratory committee. He had the ability to raise money to fund his activities. He had a vision, and he knew it would take money. ... Mr. Edwards mixed policy and politics in a way that allowed his supporters to donate to the causes he believed in and to the organizations he had set up. Shades of Hillary! Rodham (Clinton)'s infamous 2000 "NY Listening Tour".

very sad that a large part of the electorate believes it, thanks to the miracle of insidious propaganda. (major barf bag event in 2008 when hillary! wins while carrying the same banner before the forces of salvation...a major, major big barf bag event.)

John Edwards “Bridge to the Poor” was evidently modeled on the one at Avignon France.

Edwards did aid the poor while in office.
While a senator he couldn’t spend all his time suing companies, driving up the cost of everything, which hurts the poor most.
