this video was very helpful.

If you have any amount of Christian blood in you at all ,DON'T VOTE FOR HILLARY, OBAMA OR EDWARDS! Do your research. They'll sign a so called hate crimes bill that targets Christians under a hate crimes bill for preaching the word of God.

[divineintervener]

Alright Mr Edwards. How do you propose to pay for all this? If you think the Iraq war is expensive, enact all this garbage you're proposing and see what happens to the deficit.

[MamaBear2008]

sonfofrattler, our handles say something about our differences, but can't we discuss them without shouting? Gov't is for the general welfare of all, and even the purposes you approve of (roads, Army) means getting in your wallet. Republicans, not Democrats, got into your wife's uterus, so to speak.

[sonofrattler]

1)You have no clue as to why I go by what I do. 2) I'm not shouting, just passionate. I see through this asshole's charade. He and his party are all about government controlling virtuall all aspects of my life. They are a real threat to my freedom and our country's security, think about it.

[jhett777]

Bush and the republican's "Patriot Act" is the real threat to our freedom. And the president who ignored the warning that Bin Laden was going to attack the United States is the threat to our security!

[sonofrattler]

What a crock of shit. Bin Laden was on the radar a long time before Shrub showed his ass. Clinton was so busy diddling interns that he ignored the rag heads too. As far as the Patriot act; how many of YOUR conversations have been tapped there, Abdul?

[jhett777]

Who's Abdul? How many of your conversations have been tapped? How would you know? Bush has been Pres for 7 years now. Bin Laden is still free, alive and making stupid videos. He should be dead or in prison by now. Our troops should get out of Iraq and concentrate on Afganistan. Sorry, you can't blame 7 years of Bush mistakes on Bill Clinton.

[MamaBear2008]

I admire John Edwards for being the first candidate in decades to really put economic fairness in the national spotlight.

[sonofrattler]

"Economic Fairness" sounds an awful like "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need". I'd like to know how that fits in to a capitalist system.

[MamaBear2008]

Same way Social Security fits in.

[sonofrattler]

You're right. Gov't should build roads, field an Army and police force, protect our sovereignty (miserable failure here!)etc. Gov't should STAY OUT OF MY RETIREMENT, MY WIFE'S UTERUS AND MY WALLET!

[18angelica]

Go John Edwards!! You are more prepared and have more work ethic than the rest!

[pilotsdaughter]

John Edwards didn't take a vow of poverty, he vowed to speak for the poor. He does enormous amounts of charity work. He has walked hundreds of picket lines and he has worked in New Orleans when our government didn't show up.

[k3304]

OK, let's see if Edwards gives all his money away. I'll hold my breath.

[jhett777]

The Democratic Party does not hate the rich, we just want them to share the wealth with all of us who work so hard to create the wealth!

[hannityforpres]

You are a communist. Taking the money from "the rich" is wrong. Who is going to start and run buisnesses if you take their profits?

[jhett777]

Duh! We want to lower taxes on US working folks, so we can afford to buy more stuff, and the rich can make more money, pay US better wages, so we can buy more stuff and make the rich more money. CAPITALISM!

[hannityforpres]

Taxes on the poor dont exist. The poor get money and services from the government. The middle class is taxed properly. The rich are overtaxed.

[jhett777]

Sorry, that is not correct. I am wasting my time. Hey! Is anybody else reading this?

[MamaBear2008]

Some folks' minds are shut tight, but that doesn't mean you can't continue to spread the word. I get better results talking to people and wearing my John Edwards '08 T-shirt. Good luck. This is too important an election not to speak out. Be a candle in the darkness.

[sonofrattler]

My mind and eyes are wide open, and I don't like what I see. None of the candidates running, be they Demublican or Republicrat have any of our best interest at heart. It's all about power/retention of power. This country has lost it's way and there is no champion in sight. Edwards is the phoniest hypocrite in the mess.

[MamaBear2008]

You're entitled to your view, however mistaken.

[jhett777]

Thank You MamaBear :)

[sonofrattler]

Democrats don't hate the rich, they just want to confiscate their hard-earned money and give it a bunch of welfare trash and illegal aliens. They just want a socialist form of government; "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need"

[jhett777]

I make $8.10 per hour and pay 20% in taxes. It is only fair that the rich also pay 20% on there yearly income. The rich have too many tax breaks and loopholes that reduce their taxes to almost zero. Also, you need to offer specific verifiable quotes from democratic politicians that you disagree with, instead of unsubstantiated allegations.

[sonofrattler]

jhett-you make 8 bucks an hour? You need to get off your ass and improve yourself! How about signing up for some evening classes at a comm coll? You're lucky, you're in the US. There are plenty of programs out there, look for them and sign up! Quit begging for rich people's money,you can make it on your own!

[jhett777]

I am making it on my own thank you. I have a college degree, but jobs are being shipped to countries where workers are paid 8 dollars a day! Besides, companies should share their profits fairly with all the employees that do the hard work that make the profits possible. Are you a business owner or manager? If your subordinates are so worthless and undeserving of your respect, eliminate their positions and do all the work yourself. Think of all the money you will save!

[mmm413]

He hasn't forgotten his roots.  I don't care how pretty he is, he's right. Note the age of the audience. Seniors vote!!

[JSonDinant]

There is a major difference between other candidates and John Edwards!

John Edwards is out there making a difference and showing how and what he can do to make America better... the other candidates are just talking about what they will do if they become president!

Go John Go!!!

[hannityforpres]

Are you nuts? Or is it that you don't pay taxes? He, like all other democrats, cant wait to get more tax dollars from me. They want to spend like crazy on social programs. Vote Republican.

[JSonDinant]

Well. I am educated and pay attention. If you want socil unrest and a world hating us... vote republican... If you want the USA to become better and have a more favorable place in the World... VOTE JOHN EDWARDS... The Right Change for America!

[jhett777]

John Edwards says: Higher wages and LOWER taxes for us working people!

[hannityforpres]

Edwards says " higher wages for working people" . Ok. Fine. I'm a buisness owner, and I'd like to see how he can make me pay my employees more. He is nuts.

[sonofrattler]

How right you are! Am I the only person that noticed how much better service is at CA fast-food joints since the mandatory minimum wage increase? Yea, raises based on merit don't work. Raises based on government mandates do..

[hannityforpres]

You idiot. Obviously, you have never worked somewhere where you did a good job and therefore got a raise. Its people like you who watch the clock, do the minimum and expect graet pay.

[MamaBear2008]

hannityforpres, if you are speaking to me, you are so 100% dead wrong it's laughable. I have been asked to return at every job I have ever had and left (to move, go back to school, etc.) Have always done outstanding work. Raised by hardworkers who taught me that any job worth doing is worth doing well. Don't watch the clock, put in the extra mile, and all I expect is a fair deal. By the way, name-calling gets people nowhere.

[poisoned27]

I would rather my "tax dollars" go to medical benifits and education for those that cant afford it, than a war in some country that doesnt believe THEY can change their behavior, ideals or morals. I would rather help those that want help, than those that dont. Edwards has my vote.

[banjobilly32]

Them Soggy Bottom boys kin sure pick!! Go John Boy!

[allstonbean]

"This is about everybody in America getting the same chance." --John Edwards

Yes! Watch out people; this campaign is just taking off. Edwards is a candidate of REAL CHANGE!

[marko95403]

Now that's a music video John Edwards style! Can we get this on MTV?

[astrogirlsirius]

OMG! This looks SO fun. I love the music.

[coolhand1uke]

If John Edwards puts his candicay under the DNC restrictions by accepting the matching funds, his campaign will be sunk!

If anything Hillary proved that she is going to spend spend spend by the looks of the past 5 Sunday morning talk shows she appeared on.

John NEEDS to come strong, out of the gate. The DNC restrictions of less than 1.2 million for Iowa and 800,000 for New Hampshire might not be enough to take those states. Why hand-cuff yourself?

Fire that advisor, John!

[BlueTunisia]

John Edwards 08!!!
