Edwards is echoing a Republican line here in appealing to anti-immigrant sentiment. We chastised former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani last August for similarly implying that an English requirement was necessary.

This is blatant manipulation of Obama's words. Let me ask you a question. Can a bill be the largest investment investment in clean energy to date that is, and yet still not rise to the point of what the candidate considers serious enough???

What if we spent only two thousand dollars in the past on clean energy and Obama said he voted for a bill that was for two million because it was the largest to date. Could Obama also say that it isn't two million still wasn't a serious effort, of course he could.

That is a crock of sh__! Deal with it, he is an inexperienced Jr Senator who has a long way to go and we need someone who will beat the GOP for the Presidential office! The Republicans want him to win the Democratic nomination, because they will beat him and then we will all have to DEAL WITH IT! Wise up!

Edwards is not angry he is passionate and clearly the best candidate for president.

People who judge a book by its cover rather than its contents are destroying the back bone of our country, so why don't you VoteResponsibly08 by checking on the facts, just the facts! By the way we all should be angry with the past seven years of deceit from our current administration! They have destroyed the American good name, we have lost lives over their lies. We have been duped and if we express our descent we are un-American not supporting our troops. By God it is our inallienable right to speak freely and many soldiers have died to protect this right.

We need a President who will heal the economy, resolve the war in Iraq, protect our borders and our sovereignty! Edwards is our man for President in 2008..he shares the American peoples PASSION!
