Politicians are passing the buck. The system was too loose to handle wealth. History is actually repeating itself on a larger scale from Ancient Greece. Our founding fathers in America were afraid of the failures of Ancient Greece. The progressives romanticized it, but overlooked the women and children executed by a panel of the wealthiest. It's happened before without corporations. Direct democracy is an anything goes system.
Hate to say it, but most of this video's soundtrack is from iMovie '08/ iLife... I think that a little more money could have been afforded to pay for it
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.
"Wow, a politician who actually cares. How refreshing. I'll be joining him and I hope millions of other caring patriotic Americans in the Careone Day of Action!" If you believe edwards cares about the american people then pay attention. John Edwards is dropping out of the race today. Now look at the candidates on both sides, the only one left who gives a damn about you and I is Ron Paul Please edwards supporters once your candidate drops out today shift your support to Ron Paul. He truly cares
Edwards is the only candidate talking about the 200,000 homeless vets, and foreign lobbyists that are influencing bad trade deals for the U.S> and sending our jobs to other countries.
Where are the solutions these career politicians have contributed while in office. Promises are empty. I am not in office and have verifiably solved quite a few national and international problems and gotten both parties to implement them. franklinlacydot
Really well done video - I've been wondering about what a caucus was like, and this describes it well, while also promoting Edwards in an engaging way.
wow this pussy boy needs to go, go home that is and wait for someone to make him VP. oh wait that was done already. He's a lawyer and lawyers lie, a lot
No FairTax no vote Edwards, The Income taxes and payroll taxes stink to high hell, look at our month to month pay stubs. I wan't 100% of my checks plus a prebate check every month. No more home taxes or taxes on anything used or pre-owned. Fairtax dot org.

Hey-I would like to add a little verse to that final comment about bringing the troops home. 'After we bring the troops home-AlQuaeda realizes the lack of American resolve under this weak leader and lets the Edwards administration think everything is fine for about a year more.' I think the next part is easy to call especially with the reduction and cutback in the military. Does Edwards even have a plan on what to do if we are striked upon again? The "blame Bush" card will not work anymore.
The genius of this piece is that it plans backwards. It is a given that he will be in the White House. What are the preceding steps necessary to get there? Watch the video...and act accordingly. What a useful tool! Very John Edwards...who is about helping, not simply helping himself. NC is counting on Iowans to be bold and courageous, even against the corporate media brownout of this, our champion.
How/Why are ppl in NC counting on Iowans?? Edwards couldn't win NC in '04 and is well behind in the polls now. North Carolina nor South Carolina will vote for Edwards...and there are plenty of reasons why. One, we know he is as phony as they come.

What a patronizing piece of crap. Most caucuses are held in school buildings or hotel meeting rooms, and none are held in barns.
Yes, Democrats try to bribe or intimidate each other at the caucuses. You have to stand in a designated spot for your candidate. There is no ballot. After the caucuses, the local party chair adjusts the numbers as they see fit.
This is a good explanation of the Iowa caucus process, which has always been a little mysterious to me. I'm a Virginian who absolutely agrees with Florida's comments below. We're counting on you, Iowans, to show the rest of the country that you've listened and pondered and decided Edwards is the best! Go Edwards!!
It was a meeting of democrats and they had a straw poll and all the groups had people talking about what candidate is best. Well because I got my paperwork, had candy to give, and knew what I was talking about, Edwards won that local straw poll. I was so proud. So caucus is very similar so I won't be an alien. Now the only problem will be the gas to get to Iowa, hmmm

The media already decided the president.
Listen to Edwards SPEAK OUT!
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!
