Free Republic Bump List Register
A listing of all Free Republic Bump Lists & their descriptions.
Edwards treatment of Pickering is just another example of the facts getting in the way for this grandstander and after that poll released from Elon, I think it was, I think North Carolinians are starting to see the kind of scum they elected. Just another example of putting the vote in the hands of the ignorant.
Understatement of the year. Pig boy is a real piece of work. I mean, a real piece of s---. Sorry, but this guy reeks.
What an ignorant understatement. Edwards is a Clinton Clone! Perhaps he is missing the amoral baggage - but he is certainly NOT missing the ruthless, greedy, corrupt, slickness of Clinton. Perhaps he is not well connected to the Dixie Mafia as Clintonw as - but because he is being pumped and used by the same people who ARE, that gives him "connections" to the bad guys - the real killers among the Demarxocrats.
He is to be loathed and exposed - and people should start NOW - not later. If this is the best the National Review can do in terms of "exposing" Edwards - we are in deep yogurt.
Currently, 80 percent of contributions to Edwards' campaign has come from trial lawyers. These bottom-feeders are voting with their pocketbooks to ensure that Edwards helps see that "there won't be any legislative limits placed on their sky-high damage awards".
That would have been highly improper, given the department's strict control over records of its internal deliberations.
But Edwards says he did not get the memo until late in the day of the hearing, well after it was released, forcing him to go through the material quickly.
"Very quickly," he said a few weeks after the Pickering hearing.
"Very quickly. I sort of looked at them as we were going into the hearing. I had seen before that, in some of the other cases, things that concerned me, and then we got those documents that laid out in more detail some of the things that he had actually done in this particular case."
Sure, Senator, sure.......
Seeking to raise the millions of dollars needed to run a credible presidential bid, Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) has relied almost entirely on his trial lawyer friends to underwrite his ambitions.
Edwards, a former trial lawyer, has raised $1.39 million for the federal and nonfederal accounts of his New American Optimists PAC since the first check arrived in early November.
Of that total, $1.19 million - 86 percent - came from lawyers, their employees or their family members, according to a Roll Call analysis. No other Congressional leader or potential presidential contender has such a heavy reliance on a single industry for their leadership PAC.

If Edwards staunch support of abortion including "partial-birth", his anti-voucher, anti-choice, full support of public schools, his divisive speeches to law school students (available on the net for any truly interested Christian) pitting seniors against young, black against white, rich against poor, or his law career....suing both his local PTA and American Legion (read the cases, why would a big-time trial lawyer sue these groups over small and tragic incidents?), how can a Christian support him? I hope they see through the media hype and read the transcripts from the judiciary hearings like the one above.
Conservative groups have been reporting to the press what the press is neglecting to do...hold Edwards accountable for his far-left voting record. Instead, they continue to allow Edwards to claim to be a "moderate," when his comments, history and voting record are as "moderate" as his philosophical 'soulmate' Hillary Clinton.
Har har.
Faircloth deserved to lose with that lousy campaign, but I didn't vote for the pretty boy.
