John Edwards - "Together" TV Ad - New Hampshire

[mkeogh76]

It's amazing how many people bought the snakeoil sold by this shallow, ambulence-chasing shyster. The man was an egomaniacal SLIMEBALL with absolutely no judgment or moral compass. He's not only an embarrassment to the Democrat Party, but the entire U.S. political system that enables wealthy non-entities like Edwards to simply buy political power and prestige.

[earthlvr]

Edwards is the only candidate talking about our 200,000 homeless vets. The only candidate not taking a dime from corporate lobbyists and PACs. He will save our democracy.

[mintychicles]

edwards is consistent in making his case as to why he'll make the best candidate and best president of everyone who is running.  he's the only person i can see who will fight for those who have been voiceless for all of these years. there's a reason the corporate wing hates him: they're scared of him. and they should be scared-- john edwards is the last best hope for saving this nation's middle class.

all he has to do is make obama his VP, and it becomes a fight that can't be lost.

[Fallx0utxGirl]

ok again for the third time i haven't been able to post this for some reason but at 20 sec a woman is rolling her eyes and the girl next to her is laughing so ...yea. so i ask you people why did he put this in his comercial? LoL

[simonzkc]

i don't think you understand the speech. when edwards was saying "you think the oil companies and drug companies are going to give you their power", the reaction of the women and the girl are to the big corporates, not edwards

[Fallx0utxGirl]

i understood the speach but i just wasn't analyzing it enough thanks. but they wern't on his side anyways cause well, i know them... so no one else thinks this is funny...yes, no, maybe so?

[lisainmilo]

Go get em' John! I have nothing but admiration for your courage to stand up to the real problems that face this country. You are going to make a fine president.

[catdvds]

John ...take the "gloves OFF"...you can win this...I tell EVERYONE in OHIO to vote for YOU.....and after you get in PLEASE clean up the corrupt Police / Prosecutors in this State.You will carry OHIO!!!

[GOPpersona]

I wonder if Edwards would be willing to trust his wife's cancer treatment on UHC.....

[aaronbmartin76]

In fact he has said that he would. There is no evidence that UHC provides any less care for issues like cancer. In fact on the whole it does a much better job.

[ytdsmom]

Mr. Edwards,

I'm so excited about your candidacy! If you are elected, I trust your word that you will raise taxes more. Since 50% of my income goes towards taxes already, I'll be better off collecting welfare or I'll file for Soc Security benefits because I get charlie horses + my hemorrhoids have been giving me trouble lately. I certainly won't have to worry about a health ins policy anymore with you in office! I'll have everything I need. Good luck John!

[aaronbmartin76]

If in fact that much of your income goes to taxes, 1. you must be extremely wealthy 2. you must be really mad because you are spending that much and still not getting the nation taken care of.

[lyerlyman]

tax the rich and greedy

help the poor and needy

universal health care's time has come

now we all can be healthy

not just the rich and wealthy.

[9beatles]

A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand (sorry bout the spam THIS SCARES ME!)

[LCT29]

Facts don't matter to these economic idiots. Just tearing down our great country . Our system has made us the greatest country ever but these morons want utopia, WTF that is

[bucklaw]

Read My lips Best Economy Ever =Bill Clinton.

Secondarily, throughout history democrats have created universal prosperity, democrats cared about all the people, democrats have created more economic good times than republicans, it is a fact.

[nalejbank]

I can't wait for the government to make us all rich and prosperous. Don't you conservative get it? When we take all you have then we can provide you with all you need. No one will be allowed to be greedy because we will see to it that the masses get equal amounts. There may be a few favors we do for our friends along the way. You understand, don't you?

[elpymppe]

Edwards all the way!!!!

People on here say what he's proposing is socialism, but the current system where corporations get tax breaks, corporate welfare, and a weakening regulatory environment isn't capitalism; it's just cronyism. Ideas like universal health care and less corporate propaganda will make things more fair and everyone a lot better off! I love Edwards!

[LCT29]

You are an ididot. Here's a clue for you. Corporations don't pay taxes, they collect them. Taxes are a part of the cost of goods sold, just like rent or utilities. Raise taxes on corporations and they have to raise the price of their goods, which YOU than pay.

Too simple for you? Figures, so much easier to demonize

[nalejbank]

Right on brother, right on. You are telling the truth!!! It is stupid to tax corporations, they just pass it on... to us or the next buyer down the line.

[antikins]

in an oligarchy some a tax increase will show up in prices, but some will also be absorbed in profits. so, the OP is right that this will affect the distribution of who pays in a way which disfavors the already-rich. now, i know these things that edwards proposes will have to be paid somewhere down the line, and some of that will be in prices. but the point for edwards supporters is that the tax structure enables the rich to keep all the money, and middle class to be perpetually marginalized.

[aaronbmartin76]

Remember this is paid for either way, through government run we can control the costs and make our money pay for our health. Remember the healthcare industry spends 2.5 times as much on advertising as R and D.

[LIGO4less]

repblicans and democrats - this guy is great, he's gonna bring this country back to where it used be. Mandatory Health Coverage - what's so bad about it? College for everyone - what's so bad about it? Alternative energy sources - is that one gonna hurt us? THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT TO DO! HE LOVES THIS COUNTRY FOR THE OPORTUNITIES IT GAVE HIM! don't even consider other candidates - John Edwards is the GUY!

[spudea]

The US currently borrows 1.52 BILLION PER DAY in order to finance our balloned government. THATS why prices are skyrocketing! Healthcare for everyone, college for everyone, and subsidizing alternate energy sources will bankrupt this country and bring on another depression.

[bucklaw]

More Republican dribble. Bill Clinton had a surplas, Economics Failure 101, Bush, did what to the surplas? Where did it go? Halliburton, KBR, Halliburton. And show me a country that isn't in debt, better yet show me a fortune five hundred company that does carry huge debt. Prices skyrocketing is a direct consequence of the George Bush administration and his pals in oil. What company do you work for.

[LCT29]

I work for myself, it's called self reliant dickweed. And please explain to me why the fuck you think its a good idea to run a surplus in the federal budget. I swear, you democrats are the dumbest mofos. And hey, there's that Halliburton mention again. ...his pals in oil, lord, what a dope. Even if it's true, than ya dumb fuck buy some XOM. I've accumaltaed almost 10,000 shares. Your BDS clouds rational thought. Turn off Obermann for a few nights, let your mond clear

[aaronbmartin76]

Actually we borrow to finance our ballooned war machine and our extreme subsidies to Oil, Nuclear, Corporate Farms, and by way of unjust war defense contractors. This is why we borrow. Healthcare, Schools, Police, Fire these kind of things never cost as much.

[WelcomeSite]

Congratulations.

Your video is being featured on ykids . com

[LIGO4less]

LCT29, man, you're right we need a break, but not from Edwards. We need a break from GOP. Look what they've done to our country! 3 buck a gallon! EDWARDS IN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[millwright1956]

If John Edwards is elected, hopefully when he's elected then the working class of people that have been forgotten about can see a glimmer of hope. None of the other candidates will do anything nor do they care. Look at their records. Look at the gas prices for instance, First: The trade center tragedy gas prices went up, then Katrrina gas prices went up, supposedly until the oil rigs were repaired. Have they went down? I just wish I could do more to help John Edwards. I will be voting for him.

[LCT29]

John Edwards is a socialist. Take power from the eviiiiil oil companies. Give me a fucking break. There is a divide in this country and it's between those in the wagon and those who are pushing. And being a pusher, I'm sick and tired of hearing drivel like this, much less watching morons nodding their empty fucking heads in approval. Disgusting

[driubi]

the government currently subsidizes oil companies, complain about that - why are your tax dollars going to an industry that is making record profits, and charging the people 3 bucks a gallon?

[LCT29]

That's BS. Tell me what subsidies XOM is receiving. Provide a link. And if they are receiving government largesse, than I say they shouldn't.

Your comment about the cost of gasoline reveals typical democrat economic ignorance.Record profits? As a percentage of capitalization, net profits of oil companies are average. They seem large because the companies are large. Open your fucking eyes and quit drinking the MoveOn kool-aid.

[bucklaw]

Listen cut the crap. Republicans are the only ones that could double the price of gasoline and not make a profit? Hmmm... Right. I'd rather drink the Kool-aid instead of being a miserable Karl Rove, looney. Best Economy EVER, Democrats, Best Economy always-Dermocrats. Even the oil companies admit that their failure caused profits to go up considerably. Yup oil companies aren't making any money, huh, huh, what weed are you smoking?

[LCT29]

Step away from the bong dude. where did I say the oil companies aren't making money. I repeat, you dems are ignorant when it comes to economics. WTF are you bitching about, record low unemployment? Record high stock market? Record high tax revenues? What? $3 gas? BFD. And of course you want to drink the kool-aid, that's what socialists do.

Finally, lord I love how you deranged fuckers always amnage to slip Rove into any discussion. Hey you left out Hallaburton. Slipping?

[bucklaw]

As a percentage of capitalization, net profits of oil companies are average. Remember Rush and how he told us he grew up poor and then we find out the truth. Billo same thing and then we find out the truth, they LIED to make money.

[aaronbmartin76]

Well one would be that the oil industry pays lower corporate taxes than other industries. Big Oil including XOM pays like 13% while some industries like publishing pay 23% and still others pay as high as 29%. And, look again their profits have actually been record highs lately. You are right Healthcare Industry is the real cheats.

[LCT29]

You just don't get it. Corporations do not pay taxes, they collect them. Taxes are a cost of goods sold, like the rent or utilities. I don't know where you get you tax rate from, probably your ass. Please provide me a link showing different tax rates for different companies.

I own quite a bit of XOM stock and I can tell you the size of their profits are perfectly normal for the size of their capitalization. IOW moron, it's huge company so it can show large profits.

[aaronbmartin76]

Can you name an instance when corporations lowered their costs simply because their tax burden was lower. In most cases this is a usery fee. If you use more gas then you will cover more tax cost on that. It seems very free market right. Also, if XOM is doing so poorly why do you own their stock?

[LCT29]

Thanx for the link to different tax rates for different companies, I knew you pulled it out of MoveOn rhetoric. Again, high tax rates on a business simply mean higher prices for the goods that business provides. If someone raises the rent on the building my business is in, I either have to eat it or raise the price of my goods. If I'm a large corp like XOM, I am owned by literally millions of people and we want a fair return on OUR money. It's called capitalism, get in the game and STFU

[auntbecky]

spoken like a true fatcat.

[LCT29]

Yep auntbecky, when logic has knocked your dick in the dirt, you resort to the usual liberal attack mode, ad hominem.

You stupid shit, if you want to take the handouts and accept the limits put on you by the government, fine. But stop trying to steal what I've risked and worked for-loser

[bucklaw]

Endow workers not companies. How do you know when the wealth has trickled down? It stinks and it's yellow. One thought Republicans=Halliburton=Corrup­tion, from non-church going bible thumping Presidents, to anti-abortionist that cut programs for the poor and then send them to war, or ignore the hungry to stay the course yuck heads, who create fear and misery. Republicans=Failure. No more Years.

[LCT29]

There is that HALLABURTON reference. I knew one of you crazy moonbats would use it.

[aaronbmartin76]

Right, because it is crazy moonbat stuff that the VP was CEO of a corp. and then we go to war, a war that no one but that VP thought was good, and that corp. wins huge no-bid contracts. Your right, this cool-aid seems to be clearing a lot of things up for me.

[awsom31]

you are a moron

[LCT29]

You too asshole. Good logic and I'm a moron??

[Cabellero69]

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." Was Lincoln a socialist too?

[ytdsmom]

Cabeller069: ...to continue Lincoln's statement;

...and let us give the freedom to women to choose partial birth abortion by letting 95% of a full-term baby thru the birth canal & then sucking it's brains out as God gives us to see the right...

-Lincoln (my ass)

Makes me sick when someone wants to put God into the equation of someone who supports Partial Birth Abortion.

[buckinbull]

SHUT UP YOUR GOING TO LOOSE!!!!!LOL

[aaronbmartin76]

See you at the Caucus!

Edwards 08 - its time to be patriotic about something other than war.

[uterfan]

how are you taking their power away when you're using HUMANA to try to get elected? HUMANA is a predatory health insurance company featured in SICKO. YOU'RE LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH!

73% of Edwards money comes from WALL STREET

doesnt that start make you think?

[aaronbmartin76]

Lets see some facts, how about a few links. Until then I think I see who is lying through their teeth, or a best very confused.

[ShiekYerbooty]

Not when the republican candiadte is going to be Ron Paul, lol

[auntbecky]

when heck freezes over.

[American1stN4most]

A vote for a democrat is a vote for Globalization, choose sovereignty.

[aaronbmartin76]

You are right, We have had Republicans all but 8 years out of the last 27 in the whitehouse and more than that in the Congress. Remind me when did globilization take hold. Wasn't it George HW Bush who discussed a new world order?

[spudea]

we don't have universal health care because it will be paid for by DEBT!! If you care about your children and future generations, you won't sell them into slavery!

[bucklaw]

WMD=Republican Lies.

[aaronbmartin76]

Whether they are Republican or not, they are certainly lies and W and Cheney should have to answer for them.

[aaronbmartin76]

10 years of UHC would cost less than the 5 years of war we are doing now. We can afford to invade countries, but not to provide our citizens with basic needs? Think about it just a little more. We don't have UHC for the same reason we don't have better MPGs Greed.

[vtzc]

john edwards is a good human being he is honest - he doesnt censor comments like other candidates

[fuzzybekool]

John Edwards is a good man, and he has great ideas. But I believe we need less government, not more. We are going broke as a nation. I think no matter who we support, we can at least agree on that.

Ron Paul 2008.

[aaronbmartin76]

Yes, but is it social safety nets causing us to go broke or corporations sucking money out of our government through Regean's stupid trickle down rich get richer economics.

[blair227]

I really like John Edwards and his positive ads. Once again he hit a homer with this very positive ad.

[asdffd]

Go America! Go John Edwards!

[uterfan]

73% of Edwards money comes from WALL STREET

doesnt that start make you think?

[nan5664]

Where did you get this information from?

[nan5664]

Thank you for the cites. I've watched them and will look further into what Mike Gravel is saying.

[driubi]

out of hillary, obama and edwards, edwards takes by far the least suspicious money. period.

[kordog777]

about half of that number people just don't take it because there wife or husband already has a plan and does not need to pay for two

[oldhacks]

how are you taking their power away when you're using HUMANA to try to get elected? HUMANA is a predatory health insurance company featured in SICKO. YOU'RE LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH!

[semiliteratedgod]

Universal Hair Care!

[spudea]

Universal slavery!

[bucklaw]

You don't need to worry about alternative fuels, since the minute they start to make true progress the price of gas will come down. How do you equate a better lifestyle for all with slavery. Moronic. Check your facts.

[foxdragoon84]

"You have to take the power away from [the drug and oil companies]."

Wow. I am glad Edwards says it like it is. You can't expect a fair deal with these bastards. You need to take it. It's as civil a revolution as you can get.

[avibard]

I agree with you revelwoodie, he is our best chance to empower the people. I think to that he appears to get stronger as the day wears on. I like his boldness, and innovative speeches, much more interesting than the other two front runners. One thing I do know is that the lobbyists and special interests are ruining this Democracy, and it's time to put them in there place, and get them and their greed out of Washington D.C. Go John Edwards.

[dmambrose]

44% of our health care cost are from 29% of the government run healthcare programs. Government run Health care does not mean free and cheap.

[ashlarah]

The administrative overhead on government plans is about 3%. The overhead on private insurance plans is 15-30%. Government plans waste less money. And, they don't play the "pre-existing conditions" game.

[revelwoodie]

Until a few days ago, I was still undecided. I think I'll be voting for John Edwards in the primary. It's a bold vision -- perhaps too bold for many people. It feels sometimes like an impossible task. But this may be our last chance to try. I think John Edwards has the right values and the courage to see it through.

I don't know if he'll succeed, but I do know that Hillary may not even try. If Hillary wins the nomination I will be behind her all the way, but John will get my primary vote.

[phyllisfiredwards]

Vote for John Edwards and vote for yourself and loved ones!
