Thanks PK Mom. Keep me on your growing ping list for both the 2004 Prez race, and the 2004 Senate races.

Bush should push strongly for tort reform. Make it a major issue, and then let the nation sit back and watch Edwards hang himself on the issue. This is why Edwards championed HMO reform -- he was mainly concerned with the patients' rights to sue their insurers. Place a cap on damages, and Edwards' love for the concept would disappear. The phoney.

Am tired of hearing him described as handsome, nice-looking etc. He's girly looking and his gestures are effeminate. Makes the Toon look like the Marlboro Man.

Any of your North Carolinians know anything about the neighborhood he lives in? Or how much his house is worth? I'd be surprised if he lived in a "real peoples" neighborhood.

Can some one please tell me who "regular people" are? Are they the ones who do not need the help of laxitives?


Certainly Senator Lieberman has never struck me as a regular person. I mean, get a good look at that expression:

This probably a stupid question, but why did the State of North Carolina give so much money to the democrats but not the republican??

In reality Edwards is a multimillionaire, his money made as a high-powered trial lawyer. No shame in that, but Americans should be wary if they see television spots of the senator piloting a tractor or chopping wood. We doubt you'll find many calluses on that man's hands.

I have to laugh at this.  It reminds me of when Graham was governor of Florida.  He would do his work days where he would go out and pretend to be an ordinary working stiff.  It was kind of funny seeing him on the back of a garbage truck though.  He should have been in it.:)

Lady, my guess is that Dole declined matching funds.

How much does the average American citizen pay in insurance per year because of trial lawyers?

Think about it.

Medical-$4,000+

Car-$1,500+

Home-2,500+

Dental-500+

Boat1,000+

Adds up to about $10K a year to keep smarmy douches like Edwards in Mercedes.

An Edwards canidacy is going to be the beginning of the end of the American Tort system, in spite of their best PR efforts.

I pay about $900 a month to feed lawyers kids.

LOL!!! I didn't know that Graham worked on a garbage truck to show himself to be part of the regular people. That's too funny and looks like some people bought into it by electing him!

Those numbers make me want to work even harder to see trial lawyers defeated.

Thanks for posting them!

The first time Edwards appeared on Fox News Sunday, he bombed.

He was all propellant with no substance.

It was the transparent attempt to denigrate President Bush's leadership in the War on Terrorism.

The drawl is so thick, it's glutinous, saccharine, emetic.

This smarmy phoney is a traitor-rapist42 hand puppet.

And, an ambulance-chasing schmuck.

His bumper sticker reads:

HELD BACK BY ANACEPHALICISM? VOTE EEEEUUUUDWARDS

The average American family pays $10,000+ a year to insurance companies, a number that would be halved if it were not for the trial laywers and their ridiculous 33% cut of the ridiculous amounts of punitive damages that they extort from the rest of us.

I'm talking about a $500 a month lawyer tax that the average American family now pays because of smarmy condescending good for nothing bloodsuckers like John Edwards.

I hope he stays in the race till the bitter end, because the lid is going to come off and Americans will be up in arms when they realize what lawyers are doing to them.
