The Ultimate Hypocrite- John Edwards

whoa my man, both sides have their share of oil whores, neither side is innocent when it comes to being in big oils back pockets.

Just ask Al Gore.

If bought sides weren't bought by big oil things would be different.

Let's face it, the Dems talk Green but they don't act it.

Democratic strategist, Bob Shrum, ripped Edwards in his new book. He gave him credit for his charisma & appearance but said he was "Bill Clinton w/o the books".

He also wasn't too keen on the gay community, so Shrum & his advisors immediately suggested he change his view if he wanted to be elected.

To be fair, Shrum probably has an axe to grind, b/c since his team lost the election for Kerry/Edwards, he's been a pariah in Dem. circles. Hence, a new book to hopefully make him relevant again. But if Edwards is spewing shit like that, he'll wish a $400 haricut was his only hurdle.

Gotta love politics!

Nice new look to your username.

Until congress decides to get serious about serious issues (so many to choose from), we are going to see both sides throw out rhetoric so that they can blame the other guys for being the problem. Let me clue ya'll in....conservatives aren't all evil, and not every dem wants a socialist society. The more we hate the other guys, the less we demand from our own party. Stop the hating, and demand that our 'leaders' solve our biggest problems.

Shrum is probably right on.

Edwards comes across charasmatic, blah blah... HOWEVER, he is NOT as smart as Clinton. Clinton for all his faults was a friggin genius. Edwards is not nearly as adept with policy or people.

I agree. Edwards pales in comparison to Clinton in every way. He's like the Paris Hilton of the Democratic candidates...no depth.

For him to say that the war on terror is just a 'bumper sticker', tells me he is not a serious candidate.

The latest little ditty from my fav Presidential candidate. Just had to share this little bit of wisdom on how to turn our enemies into our friends. This guy is either totally naive or extremely dangerous, since he is a fraud on so many other issues, I go with totally dangerous. If John Edwards is elected President of this country, it will make the Carter years (for those of you old enough to remember being insulted by a President who said that the country's problems were the people's fault, not his) and the Bush years seem like a picnic.

The plan Mr. Edwards presented yesterday — which he dubbed "A Strategy to Shut Down Terrorists and Stop Terrorism Before It Starts" — calls for a 10,000-person "Marshall Corps" to deal with issues ranging from worldwide poverty and economic development to clean drinking water and micro-lending. He said investing in those areas would shore up weak nations and help ensure that terrorism does not take root there. That, he said, would allow the country to stop potential terrorists before they even join the ranks.

There are "thousands committed to violence" today, he said, and America needs to use all of its tools to go after them. But he said millions more people are "sitting on the fence" about whether to join those ranks. "We have to offer them a hand to our side instead of a shove to the other side of that fence," he said.

Yep, no doubt about it, Mohammed Atta who was well educated in German schools would have definitely been swayed by Edwards proposed initiative. Give me a break. That deserves a double rolleyes.

I can just see it now. Oh, yeah, come here little buddy, let me give you a helping hand, and, er, would you mind taking off that backpack, and what are those sticks strapped around your chest. Remember I made you water clean, so I am no longer an infidel who your Imam said deserves to die because of his faith, so if you kill me, those virgins won't be waiting. Wait, did you just pull the pin on that thing in your hand!!

Don't we already have the Peace Corps? This is different how?

Think of all those thousands of Peace Corps guys who have been around the world these past 40 years.

Edwards is such a tool.
