Edwards had to fly his hairstylist in

[daderone]

my ability to overide your trivial remarks relfects my intellect. Edwards took all of his support out of that when he was made aware of specifically what you addressed and has fought against it. That makes it a crap shot

[robbyblaze]

john edwards, u look like a fat chick

[daderone]

oh thats a crap shot and you know it. Keep trying to attack John and smear him. Its not gonna work. You have nothing worth saying to say and I garuntee you that you have not done a quarter of what the Edwards family has done with their lives for others. period.

frankly u seem like the one with the "small bone". Hate on hater.

One America!

[daderone]

The Republicans are scared as hell to run against John Edwards. Look at all the haters...

John is the best candidate with the most realistic agendas/solutions for America and the Democratic Party. He's led on every issue, not taken a dime from lobbyists. The world loves him. HE most certainly has the insight, ability, electability, strength, values and leadership 2 truely take America in a better direction.

[daderone]

hater. So rich people who've worked hard their whole lives and done well can't help out poor people.

You sound like you're promoting the very thought that justifies Republican greed an selfishness. That the rich should just look out for themselves. What a bad man Edwards is for wanting 2 give his tax break 2 someone like me.

[asdffd]

Well said daderone. It's folks like you who give me hope for the future. :) John Edwards IS a good man and he would make a great president- one of the best!

[ILoooooveCamels]

Oh, well. It was nice having a mature, civil conversation with you while it lasted.

[ILoooooveCamels]

If tax cuts for the wealthy are your number one priority, Edwards isn't your candidate. He's made that clear. He's more about solving the healthcare, Iraq, Iran, collapsed manufacturing base, Chinese debt, government corruption, global warming, Bill of Rights, terrorism, poverty, and oil crises.

[k3304]

it doesnt get much phonier than Edwards, or maybe it does

[ILoooooveCamels]

You mean the tax cuts that shifted .5% of the tax burden from the top 1 percent of wealth-holders to the middle class? I don't feel I'm qualified to represent his policies, so if you're interested, just visit his website. The section on taxes is easy to find. Click issues, scroll down, and the links are on the right. He plans to triple the Earned Income Tax Credit and eliminate the marriage penalty, and all that good stuff.

[ILoooooveCamels]

Oh, and by the by, he's looking to raise taxes on himself and lower them on me and (assuming you're middle class) you. You should check out his middle class tax reform plan on his website. "Reward work, not wealth" -- that's his motto.

[daderone]

you're damn right i love camels. must be hump day

[ILoooooveCamels]

The Edwards family donated $350,000 to charity last year, including Habitat for Humanity. Swing and a miss!

[k3304]

Then, Edwards flies home to his giant mansion on his private pollution spewing jet

[ILoooooveCamels]

What do you suggest he do? Ride a horse to his Swiss Family Robinson-style tree house? Methinks thou doth protest too much.

[k3304]

Camels, why doesnt Edwards house needy Katrina black families in his big mansion ? Oh nooo, cant do that !! They might smell or have bad haircuts

[ILoooooveCamels]

I really think Katrina victims would rather he do what he's doing now -- using his bully pulpit to draw attention back to their forgotten despair; helping build them their own new houses, personally; contributing financially to Habitat for Humanity, personally; and tailoring parts of his agenda specifically to the Gulf Coast Region's troubles.

[daderone]

hate on hater. John Edwards is the man.

[thatgracefulledge]

HE's a Carpenter just like Jesus Christ!

Yes Jesus was Christ!

[daderone]

Jesus was Christ...indeed.

[ILoooooveCamels]

Right, because he should be a pauper just like the Democratic Party's greatest populists, FDR and Robert Kennedy. Sorry pal, no sale.  You're spitting in the wind here.

[dwestphal5]

When I grow up, i want to be a filthy rich pig like John Edwards.

[zarkonthezeb]

John Edwards is the MAN! I would fully support an Edwards/Kucinich ticket. Or an Edwards/Obama ticket. NOT an Edwards/Clinton ticket, however.

[daderone]

agreed. or Al Gore. =)

Edwards/Gore?

[daderone]

most definately in agreement on this

[ILoooooveCamels]

It says a lot about you that you'd try to cheapen and demean someone's charitable efforts the way you are.

[ILoooooveCamels]

He did and you know it. You just wanted an excuse to spout homophobic slurs.

[k3304]

Where was John Edwards after 911 in NYC after 3300 families had to re-build after islamic terror ? Why cant he house needy black families in his big mansion ?

[k3304]

tell the colored people to stop making so many babys. Tell John Edwards to house black families in his big fucking mansion

[ILoooooveCamels]

You're disgusting.

[zarkonthezeb]

I agree completely.

[daderone]

fucking racists. Oh no not a white person working with a minority. Its 2008 buddy get a life.

[whitakerj]

Why are we spending o much money building a city that , at best, was a slum?

[MoreintelligentthanU]

"John doesn't mind picking up a hammer and doing some work."

That is nice he decided to go all the way to New Orleans and help out in the middle of his presidential campaigne.

Its nice that he still had to have a $400.00 dollar hair cut to do it.

[daderone]

yawn.

Hows that hateraide treating u?

[UpBeforeSunrise]

Edwards would stay in Iraq until 2013 he said in the debate.

[ILoooooveCamels]

No -- Tim Russert was being cute and tried to get Edwards to make a *promise* to him, and Edwards didn't. I respect him for it, because nobody with any sense or self-respect would be a performing monkey for the likes of Russert.

[Crazysammy911]

I think john edwards will make a good president, but not now, maybe in the next election.

[daderone]

i think he's the best president for this election by far.

He's led on every issue and has the best, most realistic and comprehensive solutions, plenty of insight and the leadership to get it done. Most people don't run for President 3 years in a row. I think we should show him how much we appreciate his leadership now while he's offering and trying to get our vote. he got mine so far for sure

[Automedon2]

Good for the folks helping out - shame on Edwards for using people (including his sick wife) to boost his ratings. No, he's not a real person - he's an ambulance chasing fake.

[pongman]

Senator George Mitchell for president in 2008. He brought peace to Northern Ireland, and stopped the suicide bombings in Israel. We need a peacemaker for president.

[Alidore4]

holy pube face

[tylerdurden790]

Anyone but RP in 08

[patsagainstrats]

NOLA might actually get something done now with a Republican governor in office. The Democrats turned LA(ie William Jefferson) into the most corrupt state in the nation.

[ILoooooveCamels]

Ha! We didn't try to protect Jefferson from the punishment he deserves, unlike Republicans who frequently amend laws (!) to protect their corrupt buddies and themselves (how many times have you heard "retro-active immunity" lately?).

[gopsmbass]

Bleeding heart Libs - New O is a town of people that live off the tax payers of this country. Mayor Nagy is a disgrace, and the people voted him back in. The congressman with frozen assets is still in office. Edwards is a Socialist.

[daderone]

Edwards is a great man and a strong Democrat.

A lot of good you "tough guy" conservatives did America. Edwards is a true American.

Go get scared by something now and try to make all of us feel as weak as u do. Republicans are scared. They have nothing. Just haircuts lol. RIP GOP

[gopsmbass]

I'm sure Edwards is a very nice man. Most democrats are very nice, caring people. He is a socialist, I beleive in a capatalist system and that's what made this coutry great. All of the dem candidates are socialist in my opinion. Best!

[daderone]

Well I'm an American and a political science student and a waiter. Regulating our capitalistic economy and tax reform is not socialism..Fire Depts, public schools, libraries, parks...are these things socialist?

John Edwards and I both believe in Capitalism. We also both believe that we should invest in our infrastructure as a nation and try keep a stable, beneficial country, society and economy with a little thing I call Democracy..is Democracy too socialist 4 u?

[asdffd]

Wake up people! John Edwards would make a awesome president. Go America! Go John Edwards!

[daderone]

Americans for John Edwards!

He's most certainly the best candidate for America and the Democratic Party. Even for the world.

I haven't met a political scientist or average intelligent American who doesn't respect John Edwards. He's a great man.

There are haters. The Republicans know they cannot beat John Edwards. Not 4 one second.

[ILoooooveCamels]

Congratulations and thanks to Brenda, Christi, Mark, Sandra, and Terence! Go Edwards! Go New Orleans!

[kuwiguy]

Big deal any politician could do that for a photo op. but I'd still rather have him than Julie Annie or Hillary

[ILoooooveCamels]

But are they? Nope. Apparently Hillary and Obama's armies of pollsters aren't telling them to focus on New Orleans. Apparently it's not valuable politically. Thank goodness Edwards doesn't listen to pollsters.

[johnrussellCD5]

John Edwards cares about people OTHER THAN HIMSELF. Can anyone say that about any other candidate?

[doctorj2u]

Thank you so much for not forgetting my hometown. It has been 26 months from hell, but the volunteers have been a light in the storm. We cannot thank them enough. With John Edwards in the White House, perhaps we would have a president that actually cared about American citizens, not just corporations. THANK YOU! It is a great city!

[67krugar]

No offense but,fuck New Orleans.

[ponyboy316]

No, that was intended for offense. That's why you typed it rather than moving on.

[ILoooooveCamels]

He typed it to get a reaction because apparently he has nothing better to do with his time. Best just to vote it down and hide it.

[67krugar]

You love camels?

Have you read the Patriot Act?

Do you think I'm a male because I said the word "fuck" without mentioning Dick Cheney?

That's what you think,isn't it?

It's girls like you that give Ghoulinano a boner.And you like it.

For shame!!!

[ILoooooveCamels]

Thanks for proving my point.

[donshetterly]

I'm in tears of Joy just seeing that there are good people in the world and it isn't all evil leaders and doom and gloom. We need more of this in the United States. Everyone needs to get off their butts and lend a hand. Now is the time! Now is the time!

[daderone]

now is most certainly the time.

RIGHT NOW!

[NoMoreBlatherDotCom]

Fake, feel-good demagoguery at its finest!

For XMas, perhaps he could recreate this scene: tinyurl dot com/3387y3

And, not a peep out of Edwards about how both the GOP and the Dems screwed the former residents of NO: tinyurl dot com/3be3m4

[ponyboy316]

Uh, they were building houses. Did you expect him to spout his view on that as a side-note or are you grasping at straws here?

[NoMoreBlatherDotCom]

ponyboy316: Rather than feel-good photo ops, it would be nice if John Edwards would mention that the Bush admin and the Dems collaborated to move NO's poor population out and move in illegal labor from Mexico to take the jobs they should have been doing. See tinyurl dot com/3be3m4 for the details as they happened.

Yet, instead of discussing that scheme, all Edwards can do is fly in and do his best to look like he cares.

Eventually you'll realize how fake he is, the only question is when.

[daderone]

i disagree and know fine whats going on. I have family in NO and live in Miami. Trust me what happens in NO certainly matters and effects us all.

What you have said about jobs and labor is true...however did u take the time to read what John Edwards proposes for rebuilding New Orleans? I have

[annefrank]

John Edwards has educated us on our rigged system in Washington that bows to Corporate lobbyists - over the people's interests.

And Edwards inspires us with his work in New Orleans.

The son of a mill worker who's never taken a dime from Corporate lobbyists will be a great President!

[rkull12]

Come to Michigan. We need help too!!!

[doctorj2u]

It must be true. A lot of the workers that came to Louisiana for recovery work are from Michagan. They said there were no jobs where they lived. The country has so many problems that are not being discussed. The media and the politicians have let us down.

[dwestphal5]

testing 123

[dwestphal5]

John will be very generous with your money, not his,

unless he is looking for votes, then he will appear generous and caring. Castro and Chavez campaigned the same way. If you need a nanny, hire one, this guy is bad news...

[ponyboy316]

Uh, that's what government does. They take your tax money and put it into investments that benefit everyone. Without tax money, there is no government. Just a bunch of broke people telling you how to behave. Do you expect he would fund America's police-forces with his savings or with the tax-dollars in the yearly budget?

[cuzimjustabill]

Out of everyone running John Edwards is definitely the candidate I'd most like to have a beer with or as a guest at my backyard BBQ (and to be my President). It sounds shallow but it's so true, and it worked for the chimperor.

Having volunteered for Habitat's global village project while I was in college, this is something that really hit home with me. Thanks.

[rainlillie]

I'm going to support Edwards.. because I think he has the best chance to win and I believe he'll make a great president. Being that we are at war Hilary can't win,, there's no way men and some women would entrust the security of our country to a woman, that's just the way that it is and Obama, being as charming as he is, lacks experience and America still has a lot to overcome when it comes to issues of race. If Democrats are smart they'll go for who can win , not necessarily who they like best.

[Fringe111]

This is terrific, I'm happy to see this but I'd like to know what happened to all the money that came from other countries to rebuild New Orleans. There was enough there to rebuild the entire city. Where is that money.

[phyllisfiredwards]

THIS is the ability that John Edwards has to lead, to help to fight for, to defend and support all Americans! With a hands on aditude and a spirit of peacemaker and President!

JOHN EDWARDS 08!!!
