John Edwards - Townhall in Boone Iowa

[steverouse56]

People John Edwards sex life is none of your fucking business. Yall are all retards for focusing on sex instead of real issues facing this country such as no health care, and lack of unions in this country. How about real crimes such as torture, lies about iraq, and breaking Valerie Plame's confidentiality.

Hey John, how's your love child doing? LOL

[TranCendenZ]

Ha ha! John Edwards' love child must be doing pretty good since the child's whorish mommy is receiving $15,000 per month from the John. At least Spitzer didn't ejaculate inside of his whore. I wonder what kind of STDs Elizabeth has--as though the cancer wasn't bad enough.

[xavierartorivs]

To be fair, Elizabeth was about to expire and John was probably using that sympathy card and that gal probably saw herself as a probable replacement. What a better way to seal the deal? She just didn't count on Elizabeth to recover...and I bet neither did he!

[georgejetson400]

Just think, he and Elizabeth both knew when he gave this speech.. THEY ARE BOTH SCUM

[andrelebaron]

@georgejetson400 He says he felt that her cancer, which was originally diagnosed in 2004 and returned in an incurable form three years later, eventually became a campaign ploy for the couple.

"The brave pursuit of a victory despite the cancer would seem heroic," he writes about the 2008 campaign.

Ironically, and sadly, public funding of elections would kick companies out of elections. look up the 'just $6' campaign.

It would cost at most $2 billion a year. The medicare prescription drug program costs $20 billion a year extra because it was written by pharma companies who negotiated high prices for drugs.

Its not hard to fix. It just takes political courage and arm twisting.

[CaptMidnight31]

Dear Mr. John Edwards, it deeply saddens me that you stepped aside from the Presidential race. In my opinion, you would have been a very great President, similar to John F. Kennedy.

As a University of Washington

Alumni, I always voted independent, however, you persuaded me that it was time for change, and you were the man for the job.

The media, did not acknowledge or understand what a great President you would have been for our country. God Bless You in your future.

[CaptMidnight31]

John Edwards would have been a great President, he has qualities similar to John F Kennedy.

John Edwards was dedicated to helping the working man. There is a candidate running who puts his faith in the people by stripping away the lawmaking power from the rich 1 percent and giving it to its citizens.

[rolie711]

edwards should endorse obama and become his running mate would be great for america.

[rolie711]

john edwards is the man. too bad the press runs this country and he didnt have a chance to win.

[kyeot]

John Edwards was fixated on helping the working man. There is a candidate running who puts his faith in the people by stripping away the lawmaking power from the rich 1 percent and giving it to its citizens. Mike Gravel has stood up to a corrupt president, ended the draft single handed, released the pentagon papers, brought about the "freedom of information act" at risk of going to prison. Mike Gravel has given a lot to this country, please give him 5 minutes of your time.

[kanard7]

The media controls everything, they stole from Edwards. They already decided the president.

They have manipulated the republican race to choose the most warmongering candidate so Clinton would have an easy ride.

Support Ron Paul

He doesn't cater to lobbyist, he wants us out of Iraq.

They pushed a good candidate out of the race, don't let it happen again, together we can change America. Join the revolution!

RON PAUL 2008

[Vamoalla]

The most war mongering candidate was Giuliani.

[kanard7]

Yes they pushed him on the TV until our eyes hurt as much as his forced smile.

[HughieGphiladelphia]

LET MIKE GRAVEL SPEAK! John, you are dropping out now, endorse a politician who will fight for the American people! Support Mike Gravel and talk out about him being blocked by corporate greed!

MIKE GRAVEL FOR PRESIDENT!

[mario15pens]

Give em' Hell John

[badbadpuddy]

Especially after that last debate, I'm definitely leaning Edwards' way. I always thought he would probably make the best President, but just lacked the spark and the charisma to get elected; it's a shame that is so important, but it is. He says things people don't really want to hear but need to hear. If all the poor people in this Country would vote for him, he would win. That's pretty powerful.

[imnothear]

um yea.... im sold

[earthlvr]

Edwards has very detailed plans for fighting for fair trade deals for our country and more jobs. He wants to be the President of the American people, NOT the multi-national corporations!

[mydodgers1]

Romney has some incredible economic and business accomplishments that would really be an asset to our country at this time. I think everyone should consider the benefits his experience can have for our economy. He pretty much has raised several nearly bankrupt business's back up from the dust. He is an obvious optimist, and seems to accomplish pretty much any endeavor he puts his mind to. He did amazing things for Massachussets with health care and the whole insurance problem.

[earthlvr]

Edwards has alomst as many delegates as Clinton and Obama WITHOUT all the media coverage and ALL the money from corporations and lobbyists!

[fastech1]

Clinton couldn't even put togethet a heathcare program, shes the JOKE!

[Amiduffer]

This is a funny speech. He's right about the past generations wanting to have a future for our posterity. But his generation threw all that down the toilet! They don't care about the future.

[mydodgers1]

If people would just sit and listen to the man, and not rush to judgement, Romney's command of the issues is superior to any of the other candidates. This guy knows his stuff on a broad range of issues. I think you can't miss with a Romney vote

[Amiduffer]

Romney can make nice slogans for hot button topics, but has no solution for the global economic collapse.

[lakseduj]

Edwards divides the anti-Clinton vote, and so undermines the prospects for the changes that he passionately demands in government. He helps Hillary if he stays in the race and boosts Obama if pulls out.

Edwards deserves a special place in our politics for his efforts to bring poverty to national attention and to take account of the needs of the poor. But now it's time to read the writing on the wall and obey the verdict of history. It's time for Edwards to pull out.

Anyone but Hillary 08!

[chirogirl67550]

United Brotherhood of Carpenters for Edwards. He's the man with the plan and the hope of the working people.

[3456ws]

Obama and Clinton are the only Dems who can lose to Republicans, that's why the rich are funding them.

[rwclary]

John Edwards is finished politically. He is REJECTED - not by neo-con, but democrats.

REJECTED! Nobody wants anything to do with this little fop. Why? Because he looks weak and puny next to Hillary or Obama.

John Edwards needs to go back to junk lawyering.

[David9683]

Check out Sick4President. Are they making fun of Elizabeth?

[treatyourselftolunch]

Get em', John!

[ALLYLOVEGRACE]

John Ewards will be good president. We should root for him!

[ALLYLOVEGRACE]

Come on John Edwards. We all root for you!

[fromthispoint]

We Cant allow him to loose America cant afford it!! We as a people and nation is breaking apart I believe that John Edwards is the Only! Man to bring USA Together and help heal this nation back to health. us bring him up to where he needs to be...dont let our self down.

[fromthispoint]

I will be for John Edwards even if he loose,because I will know in my heart I did the right thing,for the best man for the JoB to run this nation...BUT we cant let him Loose if he does Im scared we will also.

[fromthispoint]

If we dont elect this wonderful man that has known Loss of the worst kind and has so much passion for this nation,and come from meek background,yet very strong,He is down Home American speaks of his family to the nation in avery personal way he will speak to Americans the same way as President...Keep it warm and honnest dont be fooled by Obamas ball court jump for the white house he may foul out and a lot of people Americans be very sad what they see in the long run.

[fromthispoint]

John Ewards Reminds me of Frank Sinatra, Ole blue eyes,warm careing American from way back, This is Americas President for 08,he has been trying to say somethig to America by running for President Us let him say it By Makeing his President I think its something good,

[ehtz28]

John Edwards is a good man. He should be the next president of the United States.

[cathleenst2]

Completely agreed.

[annadread]

I should vote, and would vote for him..

But as usual, not going to bother, because it really doesn't matter.

Good luck Edwards, rooting for you quietly.

[MamaBear2008]

annadread, please register to vote for John and then vote. If enough of us rise up, we can take back this country. John and Elizabeth Edwards are giving us so much, let's do what we can, too. If we don't vote, we let the entrenched interests win.

[dirty06maggot]

he seems cool

[pantselves]

I just wish that Edwards would get a little more press. I love his ideas and I just don't think the press is being good to him. It's funny because I think his message resonates with a lot more people than the media is telling us.

[MamaBear2008]

You're right. And it's because he DOES resonate that mainstream media is doing all it can to bury him. This is an epic battle. We have to fight for ourselves!

****JOHN EDWARDS '08 for a better future!****

[doncorleon818]

John Edwards is by far the best person for President. Hands down!

[GrasBlaster]

in the Vote/Match USA

they should my preference is John Edwards :P

he looks like a good president if who will be president

[pillbattered]

kucinich/edwards 08 intelligent honest real leadership

[Nivea57]

love this guy. Passionate honest

[hollywoodextra]

You've never seen a politcal spot like this one! Click "hollywoodextra" then click on "Single Black Female Seeks White Male Democratic President".

[TrickyEmu]

Shut up STUPID! He is almost a social democrat. You dont know what a real socialist is. You even dont know what a social democrat is. But I do beacause i'm a social democrat. Big oil?? You meant big thief. Big buisness? I call it big neo-imperialism.

[JSonDinant]

John Edwards is the man for clear change! America Needs a man like John Edwards! Iowa is tonight!

[NutFreeZone]

I really hope deployed troops are hearing this message. If they are given the opportunity to hear John Edwards speak about his plan for currently enlisted troops and veterans, they'll vote for him. The Edwards plan is the best for them. He doesn't simply say "I support the troops," he explains what his administration will actually DO for them.

[beccabloom19]

What I would like to hear is how he's planning to do all that he says needs to be done. It sounds wonderful, and I'm all for a president for the people, but unless he lets me know how it can be done and what we will have when he's finished then I'll reserve my vote for someone else.

[oleartist]

What's important; is beginning the process: He doesn't walk on water but I'll follow the piper; he's playing my tune-

[camshaff]

This guy made his millions driving up health costs thru frivolous lawsuits. Now he is proposing taking away more American jobs by driving American industry overseas. His proposal to turn the United States into a Welfare State simply won't work if there is no American business left to support his socialist system.

[highlander924]

John Edwards 08

Fighting for the commonman

[ytdsmom]

Most of what Edwards say is generalized "cheerleading" material. However, he has said he wants to increase minimum wage, which will of course increase the cost of most everything. Couple that with his ALREADY promised tax increase for Univ Health Care & the personal bankruptcy courts will bust at the seams.

[haldenver]

Edwards always thinks he's talking to a Jury. His background is damages litigation against corporations. He's great at this and has done tremendous work : BUT the US President is NOT the prosecutor of capitalism. His approach is very limited and bad for America.

[chumashfalcon]

I don't think he is only about busting fat cats, he has detailed plans for many reforms. He does give a speech like a lawyer... but I don't mind having a president that knows the law.

[haldenver]

A great talker and a potentially great man BUT he needs to think about winning the Presidency and not just the nomination.He is a brilliant trial lawyer but a left-wing populist. His talk of "special interests","big companies" etc is so simplistic its embarrassing.......

[chumashfalcon]

It is no where near as simplistic as the drivel that Huckabee touts as domestic policy. Edwards make things clear for the Older farmers, he fights for the poor and weak. I imagine he is a little less folksy talking from the oval office. At the same time Edwards has put out a thick booklet on his policy ideas and goals, including all the numbers and details.

[oleartist]

Nothing could be more embarrassing than Ceo Bush

[linzyarn]

We need a great advocate on behalf of the American people. He is it.

[LIGO4less]

EDWARDS/BAYH would be a clear winner ticket. Folks, Iowans look at this guy, isn't that the way A PRESIDENT should act and sound? His gonna take this country up and make it shining city on the heel again. but most important: EDWARDS got winning ability, no matter how much you like Clinton and Obama, we need SOMEONE WHO CAN WIN

[erkekler]

John Edwards' candidacy combined with Lou Dobbs' new radio show, which will be on the air 3 hrs/day every day starting in March, will drive the populist forces to victory.

[SkipW]

The choice is clear

Some more of the same corporate greed  or the

Supporting of the U.S. citizens needs.

[janb2006]

if you want to see an amazing speech check out John Edwards speech at the CA dem party convention in April of this year. Amazing

[mystrial]

I've been hoping Clinton got the nomination

for last few years. But THIS SPEECH SAID IT

ALL! I'm down with John Edwards!

[brionisphere]

I totally agree! I was fortunate enough to see JRE speak in Orange Co. California. He is absolutely awesome, and even more so in person! Go JRE!

[grazon]

Edwards and Obama can win swing states.

Hillary couldn't win a swing state if her life depended on it.

[mystrial]

Edwards/Biden '08!

[chumashfalcon]

sounds good,

Edwards/Obama sounds good too

[daderone]

dunno about Edwards/Biden...i think there is room for Biden elsewhere in an Edwards administration.

Edwards/Obama, Edwards/Gore,

Edwards/Feingold(i wish, but wouldn't push 4 it)

The point is there are a lot of people out there worth considering for VP.

[volumptuous]

Edwards and Obama are completely different people.

Edwards takes NO money from PACs or corporations, while Barack's top funders are all corporations. Hillary&Obama's voting records are almost identical.

I haven't found a Dem I am comfortable with yet, but Edwards has really been impressive lately.
