    American politics is humorous to watch. Seeing that most Americans don't have a good understanding of civics (how American Government works), they believe what the United States government does is the responsibility of the President. In reality, the President can't hardly do anything without the approval of the House and the Senate. Yet the Presidential candidates are promising everything to everybody they talk to knowing that they won't have the power to honor the promise without the House and Senate approving what they want to do. They make this empty promises because they know that the majority of Americans don't understand civics.

    People should know that this group "tarheelsarenot...." are nothing but a bunch of right wing swift boaters. They are lying and misrepresenting the truth. This latest "Rumor has it" posting proves how "low road" they are. How tacky. They probably shop at Walmart and buy stuff from China, even though they complain about Edward's voting history in that regard. He admits he's not perfect and made some voting mistakes but does our President? NO. He just continues to lie and our soldiers continue to die. Why don't we talk about what is REAL instead of drivel like "Rumor has it". What a bunch of losers. THIS TARHEEL IS FOR EDWARDS ALL THE WAY.

      vineguy, why don't you actually dispute the facts in my posting with true facts that dispute my facts if you have them. When somebody attacks the messenger instead of what was posted, you can tell that the attacker isn't able to dispute your facts.

      tarheelsarenotforedwards is one person. I post on wral.com on most Edwards articles. For anybody who wants to know how people from North Carolina feel about Edwards. Go to www.wral.com and look for stories about Edwards and review the comments. It's 99% against Edwards. I also posted on Edwards 2004 website and told the world the truth about the ambulance chaser from North Carolina.

      The rumor about Edwards pregnant Mistress who's pregnant with Edwards illegitimate love child was broke by the The National Enquirer yesterday. From a credibility perspective, The National Enquirer was the first to break the Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton story as well. It was on The DrudgeReport (www.drudgereport.com) and other news sites yesterday and today.

    Rumor has it that Edwards girlfriend is pregnant with their illegitimate love child.

    Looks like Edwards has the girlfriend waiting in the wings until Elizabeth dies of cancer.

    Edwards strategy in Iowa for 2008 saying that he can still win if he loses the large cities and by some miracle all of the rural precincts vote exclusively for him. This sounds like the same could be, might be, should be, maybe strategy that he had in 2004 as he continue to lose primaries and caucuses, his team continued to tell us that it was all part of the greater strategy and that Edwards was going to be President in 2004.

    To all of the poor that have scrimped and saved to donate to Edwards. The $400 haircut was initially paid for by the Edwards campaign fund. Only when called on this issue did Edwards reimburse the campaign for $400.00.

    Edwards tells us how Bill Clinton supported NAFTA which sent jobs overseas. What Edwards doesn't tell you is that he voted to allow China to be admitted into the WTO and also granting China favored nation status for trading with the United States. His votes allowing China unlimited access to our markets has done significantly more damage than NAFTA did. NAFTA only involved the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

    Edwards has made numerous promises to the poor with his proposed Populist and Socialist programs. Unfortunately, he doesn't tell us how much taxes will have to be raised to pay for all of his promises. He will bankrupt the middle class and this country with the required tax increases to pay for all of his Socialist and Populist promises.

    Edwards was a questionable sleazy trial lawyer. He will say and do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He once claimed to have channeled the spirit of a dead woman in court to get the jury to take his clients side in the trial. Edwards suits against doctors drove up the price of malpractice insurance raising the cost of health care higher than the poor that he claims to represent can afford.

    The people of Iowa should understand that the people of North Carolina don't support Edwards. If the people who know Edwards don't support him, the people of Iowa should be careful and not make a mistake by supporting him based on his campaigning in their state. In 2004, Edwards couldn't help Kerry carry his home state of North Carolina and his birth state of South Carolina. Be careful with Edwards.

    John Edwards did nothing for the poor that he claims to represent during his six years in the Senate. Instead of representing the people of North Carolina from 1998 to 2004, he spent the entire time campaigning for President. Other than voting to authorize the war with Iraq, he didn't do a lot in the Senate.

    Which of the two America's does John belong to?

    Recall his $400 haircut and his 30,000' house.

    ONE-TERM Senator who didn't accomplish anything except to vote for the Iraq War.

      He belongs to the One America that has not forgotten that the people are the ones who are supposed to be running things, He is from the One America that realizes we are all sinking fast courtesy of corporate greed. He is from my America, one that cares.

        The people of North Carolina were conned by Edwards in 1998 when he ran for Senate. They figured him out. That's why they didn't vote for him and Kerry in 2004. If the people that know you best won't vote for you, that should tell the rest of the country about your character.

    I believe JohnEdwards has some of the best thought-out plans for the future of this country. I like the idea of him being what I would call a "populist progressive" . I do not know if that is the correct term but he is the person I would feel the most comfortable with being president. John, please continue to show people that you are the best possible presidential candidate!! I look forward to you being sworn in as our 44th president on January 20, 2009.....I, and I am sure many others, are counting the days.

    Edwards isn't talking about his Girlfriend who's pregnant with his love child. He needs to address this issue to have credibility with the voters.

    John Edwards is the only Democratic candidate who has openly identified what must be changed in Washington ,that is the inordinate power that the wealthy corporations have gathered onto themselves the last six years.We need a President of the Teddy Roosevelt mind set that will constrain the monopolistic power that corporate America has foisted upon America thru deregulation,mountains of cash and control over much of the media.We middle class Americans have that power thru the ballot,but we must use it!Our time is running short,get out and support John Edwards,the only person speaking for All Americans!

    Why isn't Ron Paul's record setting fund raising getting more press coverage??
    Dr. Ron Paul raised $6.2million in 24 hours from individual donors. This should be the headline on all political pages today... but it is not, one should ask why not?

    I hope he is our next President ! Most are middle income people in the US.
    We need someone who knows what it means to work for a living and not born rich.

    I am an Edwards fan and have been from Day 1. Mr. Edwards reminds me most of the "populist" Democrats of my parents' and grandparents' generation. It irritates me no end that the press had focused on the Clinton/Obama race while ignoring Edwards' positions that are detailed, founded in logic, and just make sense! As pinkpanther says, voting Democratic is the most important thing, and I will vote for whoever that candidate may be. But I believe Edwards has the best chance at winning what in truth is a "centrist" nation. The Decider's Administration has done enough damage country- and world-wide to cause my sister and several friends to leave the Republican party in disgust - AND to say they'll vote for any of the three Democratic leads. However, I still think Edwards has the best opportunity to win over the Independents and disgusted Republicans. -- I agree with MarkNG over that 100%. One thing I would like Edwards to talk about is how he will build a strong INDEPENDENT Cabinet and appoint Agency Heads who actually know the business of the Agency (think about "You're doing a great job, Brownie" to the former horse/race track owner after Katrina). We have to have domestic and foreign policy experts who are allowed to do their jobs to even begin restoring the U.S. to what it should and still can be. I don't think Gore would accept a VP position, but he would make a great head of the EPA. Is it 2008 yet?

      Way to go...Get all you know to fight for the right man for the job!!!

  • Posted By: mattfan1 @ 12/19/2007 12:41:55 PM

    I totally support waht Edwards wants to do, he is the only hope this country has at getting the Government back to the people. He is the only Democratic Candidate that can possibly beat the Republican in general election, and he is the only one with the vision and fight in him to change the things we so desperately need. Go John Go!

    I'd like to know what each candidate would do to change practices at the Social Security Administration, to help disabled citizens obtain SSA Disability without having to fight for 10 years. Once the SSA physician agrees with the citizen's physician, there should be no issue. Yet, in case after case, disabled citizens are denied the assistance they earned while able to work.
