John Edwards - Building One America

[fatman1001]

John Edwards is just another politician.

[steverouse56]

So being faithful to one's wife is more important than fighting against corporate intrests. Obama has squandered his first year in office because he has been too cozy with Wall Street. But I guess that does not matter because Obama is faithful to his wife. You and other prudes in this country are idots!!!

[CherubimandAngels]

"I wish that Edwards was President because he would be fighting for the poor and regular people a lot stronger than Obama. "

So do I.

[jgriffith3792]

Hey, Elizabeth, shut up and go away. Go mind the store.....

[steverouse56]

As much as I support President Obama, I wish that Edwards was President because he would be fighting for the poor and regular people a lot stronger than Obama.

[andrelebaron]

@steverouse56 sucker

John Edwards built his presidential campaigns on eliminating the divide between America's rich and poor, yet he lived an extravagant lifestyle and never appeared comfortable rubbing elbows with lower-income people, Young writes. He preferred private jets, hid his luxury cars and imported suits during campaign appearances, built a lavish estate outside Chapel Hill, and even used plastic water bottles to conceal the wine he drank.

[steverouse56]

So I guess that Bobby Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt were not good advocates for the poor because they were from wealthy families. I guess mabey we should have all rich people be like the Bush family and just take care of their rich friends.

[steverouse56]

Edwards should be the President elect, not Obama who is filling his cabinent with nothing but pro Wall Street Clintonites. I think that many inner cities looked at Obama's skin color instead of Edwards's ideas and passion. I do not give a shit about Edwards affair. Both FDR and Bobby Kennedy were rich men who messed around on their wifes. They were also strong advocates for the poor and dispossessed.

[CherubimandAngels]

WELL SAID!!!!

[boynamedblue]

Edwards was a two bit charlaton who had no serious ideas. just look at the fact that the dickhead repudiated basically every vote he made in the senate.

[PoliticalJunke]

Well Said, More than those people had a affairs as well Eisenhower, Johnson, Clinton, Kennedy, Taft, Possibly Nixon there is a women saying that her daughter is her love child, Spiro Agnew Nixon's first v.p Thomas Jefferson..John Edwards was the most qualified to win the presidency the only questions against Obama were race and pastors..

[andrelebaron]

@steverouse56 Made in USA: Young says Edwards is an Atkins-dieter who hated making appearances at state fairs where fat rednecks try to shove food down my face. I know Im the peoples senator, but do I have to hang out with them? Before a SEIU candidate forum in Las Vegas, Young says Edwards made him cut out a made in the USA label from Youngs own suit to sew in place of Edwardss made in Italy label.

[CherubimandAngels]

Now, we know John Edwards was so right about their being two Americas, "Wall Street" and "Main Street" He is also right when he advocates that the government, instead of putting money into the bank accounts of the unshamefull, and unrepentant Wall Street robbers and con men, should set up savings accounts for the average person on "main street':

[Jordo948]

Why do you all hate him soo much .. ?

[TranCendenZ]

I hope that none of you donated to John Edwards' campaign. He had an illegitimate child with Rielle Hunter, and he paid her $145,000 with campaign donations in order for her to make amateur-looking "webvideos" that were never used. Everyone knows that the $145,000 was really just a child support payment.

[mutualdisdain]

"I'm John Edwards and I slept with the woman who made this video."

[lindyatoms]

Too bad such a gifted politician blew his political career...I would have liked to see him as Obama's VP choice.

[jnoble12]

John Edwards....He wants "one America": EVERYONE POOR AND DEPENDANT ON LIBS LIKE HIM TO EXIST

[Aracuru]

John Edwards is anti-capitalist. He is basically as anti-American as one can get.

Redistributing wealth?? That's what communists do! Bring up the LOWER CLASS by brining DOWN the UPPER CLASS? Idiotic! That will make things worse!

His moronic "plan" discourages people to work hard instead of provide them with an incentive.

[dalecampbl5]

but studies show that american productivity is higher then ever...and yet they their pay increase is like .3 percent!?! most people work for the rich and the rich can just sit back , invest with their awesome fortunes and do nothing and incrase their forutne and pass it on generation through generation. He wants this country to avoid that.

[alexfromiami]

hillary clinton is a horrible person

[TheNavigateur]

I would have preferred him and Obama as frontrunners instead of the lying superficial Hillary

[Peaceonearth5]

Obama/Edwards. Hope it happens.

[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.

[SupremeMajinBuu]

Yep. After he dropped out I supported Mike Gravel

[Spectreman]

Na Na Na Nah, Na Na Nah Na, Hey Hey Hey, Good By!!!

[mustainestheone]

Actually coolkidboy1234 it's possible to create a fairer society without being a communist.

[wingedspartan]

Edwards in my opinion would make a fine president and would work to fix several problems. But I must say that it is almost unfair for him to be pit against those that are making history. Everywhere, the news is reporting about the "Hilary Vs. Obama" topic and Edwards almost goes unnoticed. It was disappointing to see such a poor turnout for him in his home state.

[mustainestheone]

Out of the three presidential candidates Edward's is the only one that might actually implement genuine change and progress.

[earthlvr]

Edwards is fighting to keep our democracy...government for the people, by the people. NOT for the corporations, by the corporations!!!!

[coolkidboy1234]

One America (really getting close to communism)

[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!

[pantselves]

You know it's sheep like you that make me sick and make me think why do I vote. I don't give a crap about what the media says or that it will hurt Obama. WHo gives a crap? He's not the best candidate. I'm voting for Edwards. Now take your poll and shove it up your ass!

[Kold2market]

John Edwards is the only candidate who will fight special interest groups and lobbyists. (Watch documentary:The Corporation) He's the only candidate to fix our health care system (Watch documentary:Sicko), balance the budget, pull us out from the mess in Iraq. Re-build our country's global image... Edwards is our ONLY choice for a better America - and we desrve it! GO JOHN EDWARDS!!

[gman6786]

everybody thinks hilary is the best dem. canidate, i believe they just think it is time for a woman pres. same goes for obama cause he is black. i believe that this is the main reason for their popularity. this is keeping the best person for the job edwards out if clinton or obama wins they will lose to a republican for pres. so lets all get behind edwards and get him in the whitehouse this is my opinion, and i may be way off track here i do know we can't afford another repub pres

[pantselves]

The irony of it is that women and Black ppl have the most to gain from an Edwards administration. Seriously folks, take a look at his issues page. He really has the best ideas. In fact many of them were stolen by the other 2.

[gman6786]

your right, you hit the nail on the head. mark my words if clinton or obama becomes the dem. canidate hopeful they will lose. it's like people are blinded, they don't see the big picture

[TheNavigateur]

They can choose him as V.P.

[thirtyworld]

Right on. Go Edwards. I have a feeling Edwards is the candidate a lot of voters hope Obama will be. Someone who will take a consistently reasonable approach and wil not pander to corporate America. Remember Obama talking on Wall Street and saying that he wants to include the big companies in the national dialog? As if they didn't already CONTROL the national dialog! Edwards is the choice for America.

[Zhuangyao]

Vote for ron paul or john edwards.

how could hillary, a cry baby, rule America in future?

[HCHStrumpet09]

so i may just be a junior in high school but john edwards seems like he would be a very good president. i just hope theres enough people behind him to get him all the way to the white house!

[OneCarnut]

GO JOHN...YOU REPRESENT US ALL WELL!

[mintychicles]

john edwards earned my vote a long time ago... now i just hope that others will have the chance to hear his message and make the same decision.

[fromthispoint]

HILLARY TO MUCH A DYNASTY,OBAMA TO NEW AND TO PANARAMIC, JOHN EDWARDS IS A PRESIDENT JUST ELECT HIM AND SEE WHAT THIS MEEK WARM HEARTED MAN JUST HOW STRONG HE CAN BE ...he cares for the common man I have no doubt...please he is our chance real restoration!! to this broken nation.

[fromthispoint]

OMG how true this man has his hand on the pulse of this nation,..We dont want no black prince Kenya friend of Oprah winfrey,and we dont need weeping hillary looking like joan Collins,..We Need someone real Please this Obama excitement is change for change sake!

[Tibbs4fuckssake]

there would be much more freedom support

in the world if american charities or help organisations gave out 3500$ crisis loans (not money gifts but loans you pay back.) to people in need of a bed, dental repair, furniture, pay off tickets, decent clothes, and get a small used car to help get a job. just a helping push to progress back on the highway , instead of just just nothing!

maybe edwards can change the way charities operate so that they can really h3lp out poeple with grants.

[swampdog420]

Please no cars. We can't forget the environment. But John Edwards should be the only choicefor you Americans. You need someone who can speak intelligently and compassionately and has some integrity!!

[ytdsmom]

swampdog420: He has no integrity which is exactly why he's losing big time...

[dan020350]

there is 2 americas????????/ the north and south, at least that is what I have taught

[hollywoodextra]

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

[gurlglam09]

john edwards is the only one in his video to list problems he wants to solve and things he wants to do..

[crazychrisva]

I not a fan of J. Edwards, but at least he allows negative comments on his vidieos.

Hillary's vids and the comments on them are so one sided it makes you sick. Check them out, but I suggest that you skip lunch first.

I was denined the right to voice my opinion on her page. Yeh she reps. freedom.

[lumster]

Vote Ron Paul in 2008!

He is the only candidate that is for a real change with the Federal Reserve system that robs us all with oversupply of money and high inflation. He will also end the IRS and bring our troops back from over 130 countries and 700 bases. Everything we pay to the IRS only goes to pay for the overseas bases! Vote Ron Paul!!!

[EverestFilmsInc]

Register. Vote.

Tell young people that John Edwards is the answer to the problems in the world.

John Edwards is the perfect example of a representative of the people, for the people.

John Edwards for Primary!

He must win the nomination before being elected president.

Tell someone today they have a choice!

[visionforviewers]

Two Americas? I'd beg to differ in the fact that America only is middle class and high class. I'm pretty sure the standard of "middle class" doesn't even reach the average American anymore. My primary vote goes to Obama.

[OneCarnut]

Middle and High = Two

Vote once for whomever you choose,but be cognizant of the fact that Obama may not have the wisdom nor the will to catch Obama B L

[shambala14]

He is the best candidate and the most electable

[robopad]

Will somebody please convince Dick Chaney to run. We still need some cojones in Washington.

[danetrader]

(cont)Ron Paul is the only candidate who even mentions this. He is the best choice for president. However I think John Edwards is a close second. Good Luck John

[danetrader]

I like the sound of John Edwards, he has his heart in the right place, he wants to help people which is very clear. However, his policies will not be effective if he doesn't address the federal reserve system. You can't create equality in a system that is designed (due to the fed) to create inequality. He would make a better america than the present america under george W however, if you really want to help the average american then you have to get rid of the Federal Reserve.

[erkekler]

Get Stuck In Johnny!!!

Obama will invite the robber barons over to sit down and have tea and a polite chat :-(

Hillary will organize a commission to study the robber barons and delay taking action against them as long as possible in exchange for donations from the robber barons :-(

Edwards will punch the robber barons in the jaw, knock them in the balls, and force them to pay workers a living wage and stop poisoning the environment :-)

Get Stuck in Johnny!!!!

JOHN EDWARDS FOR PRESIDENT!!!

[Igenerally]

We have to stop pandering ourselves to these 3rd world leaders by funding them into submission of our political polies Why because it's NOT WORKING!!! We cannot nuke ourselves out of terrorists acts but we can cut their funding that would greatly hurt hem and we can pull back our financial assistance

[ytdsmom]

lgenerally: Interesting that I just read your post as a news report was just released. The Iraqi interior ministry has just reported that 3/4 of the Al Qaeda terror network have been destroyed.

[Igenerally]

developing our own energy to be self sufficent from these 3rd world countries That does not mean we cannot offer humanitary assistance but no military assistance secure our homeland strenghten from within in our nation our future comes from creativity and strength for all US citizens

[Igenerally]

We cannot stay the current course of imposing militarily and political funding to these 3rd world governments We are alienating ourselves into a political suicide by funding these 3rd world leaders and dependency on Energy A strong US will happen when we recognize this and move forward

[roscoe85cj]

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.

[erkekler]

JOHN EDWARDS IN 2008!!!

[ytdsmom]

One America?? Yea!! Does that mean we can all have 28,000 sq ft homes & fly in private jets?? We all have the same opportunities so what else could he possibly mean??

[STYMEDZ]

Have your ancestors been slaves for the better part of the last century?

That is what he means.

[ytdsmom]

STYMEDZ: We are talking about the here & now....not something that occurred 150+ years ago. WE ALL have the same opportunities in life.

[Gewiirtz]

and a sexy one! dont forget youll have to look at the presidents face for 4 years!

make it a HOT ONE go JOHNY

[ksvo2002]

John will make a great president.

[ytdsmom]

Too bad he sucked as a senator

[shamtown]

The absolute best video I have seen. Clear Concise and honest. John Edwards is the only candidate with a chance to take this country back for the people who built it!

[haldenver]

John Edwards should be at home with his sick wife and kids. He has an important message but the defects of his personal character are clearly shown by his refusal to do the right thing : withdraw and fight again in the future.

America needs Edwards but his family need him more !!!

[VetOrDie]

Shut the hell up!! Maybe the weak willed, small minded fools you vote for cant do both but some men have the strength and intelligence to handle such things. Try finding an attack that isnt so bluntly personal.

[ytdsmom]

Vet: You're obviously also brainwashed about the war....a war that repub & dems BOTH voted on. All that the libs can do is down our administration which is the same thing as being critical of our country & troops. I'm sure the terrorists just love ppl like you...

[VetOrDie]

"...down our administration which is the same thing as being critical of our country & troops." Ok, so your THAT stupid. Then discussing anything with you is useless. From now on if your post dont have proof for the'facts' you puke out they will not be regarded.

[marybeast08]

I want to makeout with him so bad

[ytdsmom]

Gross....you must be desperate

[marybeast08]

wow, how much time have you wasted commenting on this video?

[ytdsmom]

I periodically read new comments. If you're aware of that, you've obviously spent some time here yourself.

[marybeast08]

um...you keep tabs on this video so you can come back and reply to all of the new comments? lmao! and btw, it only takes a few seconds to see your username plastered all over the 'comments' section

[ytdsmom]

maryBEAST08: Although it's none of your f*cking business, I've had ppl on here that I've spent several weeks talking to with some long conversations. Why don't you try talking about an issue instead of stalking me. I don't doubt that your username fits you well.

[marybeast08]

HAHA! Oooooeee looks like I've touched a nerve...

P.S. I appreciate your clever usage of capitalization

[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!

[VetOrDie]

50% ?!! You fucking lier!! And Edwards is only talking about raising taxes on the very rich! You know this is the FIRST!!!! time in history we have fought a war without raising taxes to pay for it. Bush lowers taxes on the rich and starts a fucking war we dont need while letting the war we do need fester.

[ytdsmom]

Vwt: Yea...it is 50%...I think I know. You seriously need to realize that u r brainwashed about 'tax cuts for the rich'. Have u ever heard of AMT? The HUGE penalty for making over a certain amt. Bush cut everyone's taxes...of course, a percentage equates to more on higher income (basic math equation), but it's called 'fair for all'.

[VetOrDie]

Im going to reply to this again later....with the names and dates of the tax cut given to the rich(busy time of the year right now, and i only have 5 minutes). I challenge your dumb ass to do the same. When did bush give a tax "cut" (not rebate) to the middle class or the poor? And what tax bracket are you in and what state do you live in that finds you paying 50% of your check in taxes. Plz advise or all are just lies.

[VetOrDie]

ok sorry, i forgot about this silliness: ctj bot org/html/gwb0602 dot htm That really has all the info needed as proof.

[ytdsmom]

Vet: Your link proves my point!!..Thank you.

Think of it this way: I make $100,000 and you make $50,000. If 5% is given as a tax break, obviously my 5% equates to me saving more DOLLARS. You are still somehow thinking that Bush gives me a 10% break and you only get a 5% break. The liberal brainwashing has worked well on you.

[kensei85]

Edwards is a BONER!

[Maskedude]

If I could, I would DEFINETLY vote for Edwards. He shows good leadership.

And he goes against Clinton ^_^

No offense with that, of course.

[tackzam7]

This is THE MOST important Presidential election in America's history. Please do everything in your power to get RON PAUL elected! Donate immediately if you haven't already. We cannot afford to slack off on this one. Come primary time, show all the biased 24 hour media and all the 2 faced, scumbag assholes in Washington who have sold this country down the river that we are NOT gonna' take it anymore. RON PAUL IS THE ONLY TRUE AMERICAN CANIDATE! RON PAUL 2008!!!

[nan5664]

We need this man to become our President. He has well-thought-out plans to address every major issue I can think of, and economic inequality is one of the most critical issues. I've been volunteering for the Edwards campaign. It's the first time in my life I've believed enough in any Presidential candidate's character and policies to want to work to convince people of how right he is for our country right now. GO EDWARDS - ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!

[Mikewee777]

John EDWARDS is the right man for America.

Is "hair" and "faggot-respect" all you have against a straight, intelligent and moral man?! I'm voting for John EDWARDS!!!

[brandywineraceway]

Are you still taking about the two Americas? You are right. One america can afford to spend $400 for one haircut. The other america makes about $400 for one weeks work. Now don't get me wrong. I think everyone should have the right to spend as much as they want for what they want. But please, save the "man of the people" speech. One last question. What percentage of our taxes were paid by these top 300,000 income earners that Edwards rails against?

[CMOSjockey]

brandywine:The top 10% earn 80% of this nation's resources, but do NOT pay 80% of the taxes. They pay about 50%. They should pay for the society that made it possible for them to be wealthy, but they don;t want to. Tough.

[rageinthetruth]

he is a rich man...he had to work to get there...hes one of the only rich men that dedicates his life to helping underprivileged people...he sacrifices most of his money and reputation towards his cause...one more thing-confirmation on the $400 haircut..hard facts not rumor please

[ytdsmom]

So if he's rich and we're not, isn't that two Americas? And...if he's dedicated his life to the "underprivileged", why didn't he start in NC? No wonder ppl here aren't voting for him...

[Mikewee777]

Libertarians want to legalize illegal drugs!!! That is sickeningly immoral!!!

[zeecee1]

Studies indicate that alcohol and tobacco cause more harm than marijuana. So why is marijuana the one that's illegal? Look it up yourself - It does not cause cancer and does not cause any serious negative health effects. People who have never committed a violent crime go to jail for years due to marijuana use. Libertarians just want things to be fair.

[skypies]

It is illegal for commercial use because it can induce psychosis. It will be legalized in the next 100 years, though...with the direction our society is headed.

[spyder130]

Wow! You mean you respect people who agree with you? That's awful big of ya! You seek to discredit somebody, and then you say you won't respect somebody who discredits you. That's even bigger of you. But what's truly funny is that after this little routine you expect ANYONE to take you seriously.

[IAmAgntSmthNeoIsONE]

A Council On Foreign Relations member. Not trustworthy at all.

Yes I have reason to make this statement and respect others who do the same. I do not respect nor expect others will respect those who may attempt to discredit, demonise or hush me, us, you, them when they communicate a reasoned and substantial opinion.

[daderone]

Thank G-d For JOHN EDWARDS!

This should be our next President and the decision is clear as day.

[elmo82]

thank the lord im conservative

[MikePryslak]

I like Edwards' message. Can someone please refer me to an explanation of how Edwards plans to get his strong, bold proposals past the corporate lobbyists and the Congress they control? I believe the first step has to be a constitutional amendment to abolish corporate personhood - otherwise any law limiting corporate influence is likely to be overturned. But that's my opinion; I want to learn how Edwards plans to change our political system.

[o3mandotcom]

Thank you John. I wish the other two candidates did not "moderate" comments, so we could hear what the people really think.

[coolhand1uke]

In response to the Public financing decision:

I think it's crazy for Edwards to place himself under the direction of the DNC restrictions. Whomever it is that he is getting his advice from... They should be FIRED!

Hillary had proven that she will blow everyone away with her spending power, by the 5 appearances on all of the Sunday morning shows.

Getting out of the gate strong is essential for the Edwards canidacy!

[azguitar]

John Edwards is the best of the current candidates!

[s3if3er]

John Edwards is the man we need for our country. He is the defender of the disenfranchized champion of the middle class, and aboeve all else a true american crusader for what is right ....we need this man like our earth needs the air we breath

[k3304]

s3if3er, if Edwards is so great, why doesnt he give away most of his money ? Why doesnt he house black families in his big mansion, instead of inflaming racial hatred ?

[s3if3er]

im sorry do you know anything about John Edwards with the exception of gore he has donated more time for Habitat for humanity than any other politcal canidate and also has donated more money than any of the current. Your are an ignorant fool he has respect for all races and creeds its people like u that this country is the way it ...you unintelligent idiot..if i ran this country peopleas stupid as u would be dragged behind a shed and shot....screw you

[azguitar]

The Bush administration and the bulk of our congress and senate have failed our country. We're in a war we don't belong in, we're on the verge of a recession, our jobs are being outsourced to all corners of the globe. Please help us John! John Edwards for President!

[MamaBear2008]

America needs John.

[Kabloooy]

John Edwards...building a new america under socialism.
