Well...ya gotta admit that in this video he IS telling the truth...the system IS rigged against us, and filthy rich corporate Democrats are just as corrupt as their Republican counterparts. Edwards didn't just tell us these facts; he SHOWED us! hehehe
I was truly and deeply sadden when John Edwards announced his stepping aside in the presidential campaign. I feel once again, we now have lost our voice, our champion, and our humanitarian president. Thank you for all your sacrifice and the sacrifice of your family for caring for the voiceless. John and Elizabeth, thank you for giving us our voice, even for a little while.
If you ever have a family member who gets ill and isn't covered by health insurance, remember that John tried to make is to that EVERY AMERICAM could have it.
Edwards is VERY MUCH still in the race. The democratic convention will be brokered. After the first vote, delegates will be free to vote for another candidate. Luckily, Edwards is for improving education, too.
It's so nice to watch this consciousless maggot trial lawyer go down in flames. Out of all the dummy-crat candidates, this one makes me wanna puke the most. Eat shit john-boy!
Edwards is the only candidate talking about our 200,000 homeless vets. He's the only one talking about foreign lobbyists influencing bad trade deals for the U.S., sending more and more jobs to other countries. Edwards isn't taking a dime from lobbyists or PACs. whi is YOUR candidate taking money from?
The American people are the loser. Every since the 14th amendment was hijacked to confer on the corporation the status of immortal person, we have been on a road to disaster. Corporations are amoral. They must be restrained.
Edwards is the ONLY candidate NOT taking money from lobbyists and PACs. He has almost as many delegates as Clinton and Obama, even with only a fraction of media coverage (media is owned by big corporations and he's not taking their money) and without taking money from lobbyists. He also has the best environmental plan and is endorsed by Friends of the Earth Action.
Then why is he pulling in so many votes and delegates? Why favored over Clinton in many states? Why is it that the only states in which Obama is favored are ones with high new voter registration that is now questioned as ineligible? Why other candidates asking for recounts in last two that Obama looked so strong? Only reason you say anthing is cuz you're scared that Edwards would knock out your favored candidate.
no just a bunch of REPUBLICRATCS that is what I call them REPUBLICRATS ,,,,you herd it first from this point...I Know Ex what a that is a REPUBLICRAT we dont need one of them!! no no no.
This ad speaks the truth. The system is rigged, but how would he change it? If he did anything to actually change it he (or anyone else) would really be in for a rude awakening. However, I think he's still better than Clinton or Obama.
Johnny would make a good Dan Quale candidate, only difference is the that Johnny probably can spell potatoe LOL. This pretty boy is just that a pretty boy. He has no chance in New Hampshire, go home Johnny and install some solr panels on that mansion of yours
taraballou thank you for standing up for Americans. Mbast1 is clearly one of the coddled effeminate prisses that want to be cared for by the socialist state proposed by Edwards. Don't worry, everyone reading his comments will recognize what he is.
Sure I am. Can't say anything useful or substantive, so I MUST be something awful. Anyone who "recognizes" that version of "me" from my comments will be as stupid as are you. And as meaningless.
Let's see Mbast1 if I can get on your level so you can understand. You are a dinleberry hanging off John Edwards....Well, you know what you are, if not, everyone else reading your comments certainly does.
I laugh, I really do. I wonder if you people can even understand how sad you look. NONE of you are making any sense, and all you can do is pretend that you are. Or call names. Not exactly convincing.
This buffoon has single handedly convinced more people to not vote for Edwards than all of the people he's insulted put together. Thanks for helping stop Edwards, you've helped your country more than you can know. Great job.
taraballou thank god for your voice of reason. Mbast1's blind devotion to Edward's socialistic ambitions for America are odious and reminicient of what happened to Germany in the 30's. I agree, "OPEN YOUR EYES"!!!
This guy made his millions drive 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.
I love when people say things like this. YOU don't get to decide the lawsuits are frivolous, the judge does. And, since the judge tried the case, it wasn't frivolous. And, you make it clear you don't know what socialism means. But, then, you also make it clear you don't care. If you did, you'd be more careful.
Thank you taraballou. Mbast1 I'm quite aware of the definition of socialism, and what Mr. Edwards proposes personifies it. People please thank before you vote. Electing a man like Edwards who wants the central government to control insurance and industry will drive the final nail in the coffin of American industry. As industry goes, so do our jobs!!!
If you think that, then you clearly do NOT know what socialism means. Government intervention is NOT socialism. American industry is already in control of most of the government, AND jobs are being lost due to moving where labor is cheaper. Unchecked THAT will kill America.
camshaff you are right on. I live in the Carolinas and John Edwards had billboards up all over the state advertising he would fleece insurance companies if you had a good enough case. And Mbast1, this guy is the definition of a socialist!!!
Repeating assertions such as this do NOT make them true. Socialism is NOT what is going on. Socialism means the means of production is owned by those doing the production. Not even close to what's going on here.
Edwards stands for socializing healthcare and driving American industry out of the United States. All your repeated false assertions do not make them true. Open your eyes and support the American constitution. Or if you insist on living in a socialist country, Korea and Cuba are good options for you.
Mbast1 please, please go to other YouTube videos on John Edwards and spread your wisdom. America needs your help and I know of no other surefire method of defeating Edwards than by exposing the fools who support him. Thank you. Seriously.
I have no idea why I waste time with people like you. You have no clue what the truth is, and you don't care. The best you can do is attack anyone who isn't part of your "religion" and pretend that matters. Sad, you truly are.
LOL! Unqualified, personal attacks != wisdom. And railing against reasoned arguments with ridiculous remarks about someone's physical appearance != 'exposing' fools. I think you are the real fools - unable to look any deeper than propaganda and superficialities. Try thinking for yourselves for a change.
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.
It is a FACT. Again, 'Basic Business 101'. ANY BUSINESS OWNER will tell you this. Go ask them. Perhaps you should go & enroll in your local community college...oh wait..you're probably waiting & hoping one of your idiot lib candidates wins so you can get some "college for everyone" benefits...
I've GOT a degree, with work in Economics. No matter how many times you repeat this, and no matter how many other people "believe" it, it is a MYTH until there's proof. I've seen people assert this, over and over, but show NO proof. EVER.
How old are you, really?? BAHAHAHA....a degree & work in economics. What a lie. I think you'd have a bit more substance to your argument instead of just screaming, "it's a MYTH"...you would also not be questioning the OBVIOUS. I think it's your bedtime...
How pathetic. THIS is what passes for argument where you're from? Anytime you make it clear you don't know of what you speak, you simply pretend it's "obvious" that it's true, and that the other person is a liar? How very sad. Apparently the schools in your area need some work.
Plus, how much "substance" is possible in 500 characters, really?
Also, I LOVE when people can't prove something and so they pretend things. For example, you pretend I MUST be stupid, uneducated, or need help, otherwise I couldn't possibly deny your myth. Nice try. Do better next time, have PROOF.
YOU are making the assertion, YOU have to prove it. You might want to take that college course you mentioned. MANY people believe things which are wrong, that PROVES NOTHING. Stop wasting time.
You think business owners are an unbiased source of information on this? Could they either think the myth is true, because others believe it, or could they not want to pay more because it cuts into their profits?
All other policies from all other candidates in every party are meaningless without dealing with corporate take over of our democracy. It's the only issue that matters. All of the other are extremely important for sure - but it's all hoyt air until somebody breaks up big media, big oil, and pharma - until then we are all little mind controlled slaves. John Edwards get my vote
Johnny Edwards said this year "The War on Terror is a Bumpersticker" .. hmmm .. Well Johnny, that so-called bumpersticker just MURDERED Benazir Bhutto today, probably the leading proponent of Democracy in the middle east. John, get a fucking Clue ! .. if you can't afford one (lol) then try Rent-A-Center you moron.
I am sorry but poverty is not a state anyone wants to be in. Even Kucinich is not a pauper. Since all the candidates have plenty of money there is not one candidate you would vote for? If so why are you commenting on this video. If you are so well informed you should know that.
You should get that BS meter looked at, it's obviously broken or projecting.
@Phyllis and Aloe, I'm just an average Minnesotan who is down to earth, practical, reserved (generally speaking). But where I'm from, we have VERY well developed bs meters, and John Edwards is scathingly inconsistent in his personal life vs. his public pronouncements.
I respect what you are saying though and no one is perfect.....I am struggling to make up my mind who is most worthy of a vote in '08.
You cant get into politics without getting dirty, as much as many of us the people think we can do better than Bush, edwards, cinton or any of them however politics will make you shady in efforts to please everybody, its the only way to remain a politician at seems (or at least successfully). therefore its very difficult to instignate any change as one.
I agree with Edward's comment, however, I fail to see how this comment would benifet his campaign lol.
pawsnclaws 36yrs old ...Your profile is in another language? China, Russia, Progressive?? They don't understand between california and New York, there is we the people ... We won't get in a boxcar headed for a shower.. a veteran , wake up vote without corp. polls or media choices, who do you agree with??
Two things....if a candidate is rich, they are greedy and should not be voted for period. All candidates should be willing to take a kind of vow of poverty!! Call me insane, but that is the only way to ensure that they are sincere in wanting to be of service to the nation.
Also....if they are running for president, they are inherently PRO-GOVERNMENT. If they did not believe in big government they would not be trying so hard to become the most incalcitrant portion of it. Beware of hypocracy!!
Rich CEOs and John Edwards have two vitally imperative things in common.......They are both wealthy because they are only interested in accumulating as much for "Me" as possible, #1. They both enjoy the elevated positions that they do because they were crafty enough to marshall the little (big hearted and trusting) people together to work toward a common goal....feeding their megalomaniacal ambitions, #2.
Truly there is enough naivete on the internet to build a bridge to heaven and back!!! U-Hummm........This man is rolling in money! That is money that came out of your pocket and mine....directly, indirectly, upside, downwards, over, under and through!! The reasons you and I and all of us little people hate the big corporations is because they have very greedy, small minded people sitting on a squirming pile of large minded, little people.
WOW! The powers that be are really working hard to eliminate the only candidate that is speaking the plain truth, has lived his life fighting for people that were hurt or abused by huge corporations, and has actual plans, tenacity and the ability to get the majority of us (paying for what Bush and the Republicans have done to the American dream) out of the sights of the oncoming train that Reagan built in the 80's and Bush\Cheney put into overdrive.
If John Edwards was not such a profound liar and hypocrite, then I would be the first one in line to vote for him. The last thing we need in office is another duplicitous schemer. Someday I would actually like to run for president. You may laugh, but it is high time for an intelligent, consistent and real live, hands on work experience.
Believe it or not, I support almost all of his platform stances. I am one of those hard toiling blue collar workers he is speaking on behalf of. The sad fact is that he is trying to fight a tidal wave of inevitability with automation and consolidation.
He used the power of suggestion to plant the idea in our heads that he and his wife deserve our empathy, therefore we should vote for him. Seriously, it is an old trial lawyer's trick. They say things like, "Mr. So and so, I know that you would never, ever beat your wife......you are not that kind of man", when in fact he is really using a kind of reverse psychology to suggest that Mr. So and so, is really a wife beater. Trust me when I tell you this.
I can tell you this, I don't know who it is YOU think you are sepaking for but in case you think it might be for some poor person who can't think for themselves.. Give me a break already! Everything you stated here is a total lie!
And when you((Paws and Claws)) tell people to trust you on something I think you better be able to back it up!
READ John Edwards plans and policy reform and you mught just leans something!
John Edwards has vowed to bring down American industry---this is a blood sucking attorney's view of how to get elected (preying on the most down trodden's view that business is evil). American business provides 75% of the jobs in America, 95% of the national income, and the economic backbone of the country. Edwards represents baseless lawsuits and economic ruin for the United States.
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 SPAM THIS REALLY FREAKS ME)
Wasn't it Johnny Edwards that promised "affordable healthcare" ??/ .. haahahah .. suppose the boy that sports $400 haircuts and lives in a 28,000 (thousand) square foot mansion that he built robbing insurance companies on trumped-up medical malpractice suits would cut his contingency fee from the current 70% to something like 10% ?? .. NOT ! and yes, medical costs are raised to pay for those frivolous lawsuits people ! hahaha
Did you just come over here to do some sleazy marketing for the Hill. Come on, this comment was not about the video, or the candidate. It was a sleazy ad for your candidate. You really are sad. Go watch Hillaries video's and comment there if yours will be approved.
She voted for the war in Iraq. Was a bad idea to try and look tough when all the signs indicated Bush was planning on going to war. And why vote with Bush calling the revolutionary guard of Iran a terrorist organization. What's she thinking about?
I hope the people in Iowa realize that Edwards is the one to trust.Campaign contributions go as follows, Clinton gets her money from the rich,Obama gets his from celebs, Edwards gets his money through the workers and people who want serious change in DC.
For no other reason than Mr. Ed having used the old slimy lawyerly trick of calling attention to his wife's cancer struggle, by "insisting that we not lend him our sympathy votes" for that very reason, I cannot in good conscience vote for the man.
How exactly did he do this? The media hopped on her cancer, he spoke on it said it wasn't a factor and not to make it one. Since then neither he nor the media have really mentioned it. That was like six months ago. I guess I don't see how he could have done better.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL ... dumbass liberals actually think Johnny has an ounce of sencerity in his soul... Hey John, you wanna make healthcare "affordable" ?? .. then how about dropping your contingency fee from the current 70% to something more realistic and put a cap on personal injury liability (lawyers' booty)... that would go a long way toward REDUCING those costs buttplug
Actually they're looking for someone to undo the cluster fuck Bush, Cheney and the lunatic republican congress made out of the American economy, the environment, the constitution, the war, education, social security, Medicare, Foreign relations, consumer product safety and trade relations.
The novelty of living in your mom's basement bedroom has worn off eh? ... tsk, tsk, tsk, ... you sound soooo depressed .. my advice, EAT A BULLET (before the libdinks launch another attack on our 2nd Amendment RIGHTS ! lmfao stupid libfucks crack me up ... ohhh kum-bye-WHAaaaaaaaa mofo
Hardly depressed. Looking forward to the Bush circus of fools leaving town. But don't worry; I'm sure there's a seat in the mentally challenged section with your name on it.
I wouldn't bother with roscoe, he just can't afford his prescriptions anymore. Seriously, I have noticed that many of the true crazies are a little scared of Mr. Edwards so they go ahead and come out of the wood work. He probably isn't even registered to vote, and definately not in the Primary. Leave him.
Ron Paul is going nowhere. Mike Huckabee used to be a no-name candidate getting the same shitty press coverage that Rep. Paul was getting. But his message resonated with Republican primary voters, they started to take notice, and now he's surging. Plain and simple, voters just don't like him. I don't hate him, he's probably the only candidate on the right that's not a flip-flopper and a liar. But I don't think he has a shot.
It wasn't his message, please don't believe that. The Christian Right needed a candidate, and there was no other one around that supported war. Enter Huckabee.
Huckabee is missing one important component. Liberty and Separation of Church and State. He should take time to read the Constitution and the writings of our founding fathers. He mistakenly thinks this land is only for Christians.
You know, I find it funny that the Christian Right needed a strong Christian this time. Remember Reagan, divorcee who didn't attend church, or GW the cocaine using DWI guy who also didn't attend church regularly. Now they need a strong christian. Actually Guliani fits their previous bill.
USA has the richest "poor" people in the world. Our "poor" have cell phones, i pods and the latest hairstyles. They deal drugs & prostitute on the side for extra money
Cellphones are great when a broken leg makes you file for bankruptcy. In fact the race to the bottom that has made cellphones and DVD players cost nothing is part of why we have so many poor.
Poor people in Europe have food, shelter, and healthcare.
Your Health isn't a Ipod, it shouldn't be bought and sold.
The fact that you would say "Jewlianni" is a pretty good sign that none of us should listen to you. First Guliani is Catholic not Jewish, Second read Art. VI of the Constitution and you will see that we are instructed to not really give a crap about someones religion or ethnic background.
as we speak our kids of 10-25 y.o.----------------correctioN: young people of 19-25 y.o. It IS VERY VERY SAD. Last night I watched pics of 11 who died the week before in Iraq(PBS, Jim Lehrer). just one of those was 43, others 19, 24, 26, 25, 22.....Why don't we just bring them home and send the entire FOXNEWS crew over to IrAq instead. They like this war, so why don't we just give them a once-in-a-lifetime chance to defend this country.
micsc50, who are we winning it against? what are we fighting for? Saddam is gone and dems didn't start this war. We are fighting for IRAQI people who we don't know, who most of us never met and who we GOT NOTHTING IN COMMON WITH. as we speak our kids of 10-25 y.o. are loosing their lives on alien soil. They will never see what we are blessed to see everyday: our loved ones, our streets, our sky and our flag. This war is a massacre of our young people. JOHN EDWARDS IN 2008!
I'm John Edwards, owned by the Council on Foreign Relations...I'll say anything to get elected because the money I'll make for doing their bidding is beyond your imagination.
It isn't "corporate" Republicans or "corporate" Dems that won't change; it is that every single elected official we have is a LAWYER! They are born not to compromise, budge, but to fight without regard to the final outcome.
Regardless of whether or not John Edwards is just lying in these videos or not. He is still a socialist. He likes the idea of goverment spending. Socialism has been PROVEN not to work and besides it's immoral. When will we give up these rediculous ideas.
Wow, a politician that accually spoke the truth about curruption in Washington...that moves Edwards up a notch in my book, that puts him at notch one...
Edwards is as much as part of the "rigged" system as anyone else is. Look who he ran with in 2004 - John Kerry. Can you get a more corporate Democrat?
You cannot deny a "rigged" system and then be a part of that system yourself. If he gets elected, how can any of us have any confidence he did not "rig" the system himself.
except that politics was never his true intention. He did it because he was geniuinely concerned after a major economic policy change that he felt would not benefit the nation. Edwards entered after he won a big law case that made him popular. Either way, I'd rather pick someone who doesn't take big corporate money (Fortress Investment Group), doesnt waste $800 bucks on haircuts, etc. Someone who can geniuinely help the US and has a consistent record.
FAKE!!! John Edwards is part of several secularist groups that seek to globalize our economy and system of government, which absolutely makes him a corporate democrat. Promoting international trade is one thing, but he is part of a group of people who openly seek to end our nation's sovereignty. Clinton and Obama are in with the same crowd. Save our nation! Vote Ron Paul!
I want to finish the job. What is wrong with that? You ever finish a job? I want our men and women home and Iraq free and democratic. We have invested to much money in Iraq to lose. If you losers would get behind our military maybe we will succeed.
fuck that. ya'll started the war, are running the war, and veto any date for withdrawal. yet WE'RE losing it for you? fuck that. how about you conservatives get behind us and we can end this war without another life lost.
If you would peal your big fuckin fat head away from CNN on the boob tube you will find out the surge working and we are finally winning this war. You democRATs started this war to but when it doesn't go well you yellow bellies act like you had nothing to do with it.
Wait for the subponeas, a phrase most republicans know about. Seven years bad luck, the war wasn't about terrorism,follow the money trail. Good news in Iraq and when will that be? War World II took less time, come on, fiscal conservatives, while we got nothing at home except DEBT.
Get the HELL off YouTube if you cant OPEN your ads for talk. You Clearly do not like "Freedom of Speech" just by your ads here. AND PEOPLE SEE THAT!!! Are you that Stupid to post ads on the Internet, and only allow ONLY the posts you like to come through and think people will not notice?? Bye Bye..You will NEVER be elected!!
What a joke. I wonder whether he came up with these lines at the Bilderberg meeting he attended a few years ago.
As for corruption, illegal immigration is a huge indicator of political corruption, yet Edwards not only did nothing to stop it when he was in office, his current policies would make it far worse.
If you ignore the soft piano music and concentrate on his policies, you'll see just how fake he is.
Edwards isn't a corporate democrat.. sorry if that doesn't suit your political agenda.
John already knew about poverty, unlike yourself he doesn't treat the subject cavalierly. He went to work for a hedge fund for a short period of time to understand the inner workings of what they were doing, and how they were getting away with it. He worked there for what, 4 to 6 month? Prior to that and since, he'd started up a foundation that works on the issues of poverty at UNC Chapel Hill.
I don't get this election at all. There should be one issue in this election, and one issue only: Global Warming. And every canidate, Edwards included is talking about it minimally, and offering solutions that are poor, at best.

This guy made his millions drive 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.

I love when people say things like this. YOU don't get to decide the lawsuits are frivolous, the judge does. And, since the judge tried the case, it wasn't frivolous. And, you make it clear you don't know what socialism means. But, then, you also make it clear you don't care. If you did, you'd be more careful.
Mbast1 4 years ago
Thank you taraballou. Mbast1 I'm quite aware of the definition of socialism, and what Mr. Edwards proposes personifies it. People please thank before you vote. Electing a man like Edwards who wants the central government to control insurance and industry will drive the final nail in the coffin of American industry. As industry goes, so do our jobs!!!
camshaff 4 years ago
If you think that, then you clearly do NOT know what socialism means. Government intervention is NOT socialism. American industry is already in control of most of the government, AND jobs are being lost due to moving where labor is cheaper. Unchecked THAT will kill America.

camshaff you are right on. I live in the Carolinas and John Edwards had billboards up all over the state advertising he would fleece insurance companies if you had a good enough case. And Mbast1, this guy is the definition of a socialist!!!

Repeating assertions such as this do NOT make them true. Socialism is NOT what is going on. Socialism means the means of production is owned by those doing the production. Not even close to what's going on here.

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.

Nope. Until you have facts, it's a myth. The fact that businesses tell you it's true, or act as though it's true doesn't make it true.

Prior to that and since, he'd started up a foundation that works on the issues of poverty at UNC Chapel Hill.

I don't get this election at all. There should be one issue in this election, and one issue only: Global Warming. And every canidate, Edwards included is talking about it minimally, and offering solutions that are poor, at best.
