Interesting to thing of the wide support Edwards had from Dems in the primaries. I viewed him them exactly as he is now exposed to be, a sugar coating liar and thief. Scary to think how so many people can be duped as evidenced in November 2008.

I agree. I know alot of people who supported him. I would look at them and ask "How? How can you support this oily ambulance chaser? He channeled a fetus in a medical malpractice trial? He's an effing bloodsucking scumbag!"

But they didn't see it that way. He was a champion of the less fortunate. He articulated how there were two Americas - the poor and the Republican. Somehow, he convinced them he was an ally of the downtrodden, with his $600,000,000 - like Bruce Wayne or something.

People should really be stripped of their voting rights when history proves them so utterly and undeniably stupid.

History is full of people who try to gain power by pretending to be a friend to the masses. The Bolsheviks were the masters of that, and it lead to the slaughter of 100 million.

The injudiciousness of the American electorate is a cancer on our republic. Whether we are at stage IV remains to be seen.
