Edwards Hammers Clinton Over Ties to Lobbyists

[carlysu]

What a hippocrite, John Edwards is! What about all the money he took from lobbyist in the past, and now from employees of firms who employ lobbyists. Not all lobbyist are bad, there are those who advocate for ordinary people in Washington. Trial lawyers like Edwards have skyrocketed malpractice insurance, so its out of control. That is one reason health insurance is so costly, and doctors are leaving the profession. I hope he doesn't sue the oncologist for not finding his wife's illness sooner.

[KDROBERS1]

he's never took money from lobbyists, retard. Know your facts before you tell lies on here.

VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON 2008!

[Nowitzki25]

Hillary sucks

[tomnunn07]

Please, don't post the same post three times, dlbu1987.

As for Hillary Clinton, well, the facts speak for themselves:

1. She voted for the Iraq War.

2. She believes Israel can do whatever it wants to the Palestinians without relent.

3. She favors a healthcare system that would give MORE power to the HMOs and insurance companies.

4. She'll say and do whatever she needs to to win. This is someone who can't be trusted.

[balofur]

You bet she takes lobbyist money from Israeli Lobby and big time money from the Jewish population in New York state.

[tomnunn07]

Call me a hopeless idealist, but I respect someone (like Ralph Nader) who calls a spade a spade. The fact is that Israel has been in violation of over dozens of UN Resolutions over the years for occupying Palestinian land. The rest of the world knows and deplores it. Only the U.S. continues to condone it, and one of the reasons is that politicians like Hillary Clinton have no integrity or honor.

[dlbu1987]

Mr. Edwards forgot to tell us one thing. He accepted over $10,000 from lobbyists in his home state. Hmm. At least Clinton was honest.

Vote Hillary!

[dlbu1987]

Hillary is a great candidate. She is smart, she has got an eye for understanding people, and she takes all things into consideration before making a decision. She also has the ability to change and evolve has times and information change. That's called leadership. Whining and moaning like Obama and Edwards is not leadership. It is whining and moaning. President Bush has done enough of that for me thanks.

Vote Hillary!

Has anyone else noticed how the major print/broadcast media constantly force Hillary Clinton down everyone's throat? They're always talking about her. Years before she decided to run, they were speculating about her decision-making. Almost every day, they proclaim her the frontrunner, even though there hasn't been a single caucus or primary. It's sickening.

[brobidea]

Yeah, it's bunch of bull and people really need to stop relying on big corporate lobbyist news when gathering information. We need to focus on people who don't sell their souls to get their way. My canidate is Ron Paul to save our Constitution!

[tomnunn07]

There's a lot to like and admire about Ron Paul. He's about the only Republican that I could vote for in good conscience.

[asdffd]

Amen tomnunn07. It's obvious why the corporate media would go ahead and proclaim Hillary the candidate. Still, it's up to my fellow Americans to get informed and take a good hard look at the candidates. If they do I think the will see Edwards is head and shoulders above anyone else. I will not vote for Hillary. I think Edwards will win against ANY Republican and I think Hillary will lose. Her negatives are too high.

[tomnunn07]

Asd, the problem is that the game is already won for the corporate candidates. The whole purpose of the pre-primary season on TV is to get people to renounce their conscience and vote for the "candidates with a realistic chance of winning." The "Don't Waste Your Vote!" brainwashing begins early.

Not a single caucus or primary has been held, and yet the major media have done a fantastic job of whittling the candidates down to two: Clinton and Obama.

[Dumbell99]

this guy is trying to be a bad version of Kucinich.

[Vierotchka]

The ONLY candidate with honesty, integrity, and loyalty, for the people, for the Constitution, is Dennis Kucinich.

[FreedomsPatriot]

Soros owns them all.

[FilipeBrasAlmeida]

He'd make a great President.

[kosiasko]

Corporate interests are not public interests. Just the opposite, those are competing interests for a slice of the American pie.

[Balancement]

Off topic:

All of a sudden, my sound won't work with videos on YouTube. I can get sound on all other video sites, but not here. Is there a YouTube problem or is it in my machine?

[Vierotchka]

Have you tried clicking on the little loudspeaker symbol on the right-hand side of the volume control?

[mkpdavies]

God he is boring. Another fake muppet, who wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the ass.

If you want integrity, there are two clear options. Ron Paul or Mike Gravel. Paul is the guy picking up momentum.

[FilipeBrasAlmeida]

John Birch Society nutjobs like Ron Paul, don't belong in the white house.

[asdffd]

Damn straight. If Hillary gets elected it's going to be business as usual in this country and we cannot afford business as usual. We need serious change. I will not vote for Hillary Clinton. I will gladly vote for John Edwards. Wake up before it's too late America!

[ashlarah]

Wow! Someone who will actually represent the interests of the American people if elected. Will the voters display some responsible and rational decision making for a change? Or will they follow MCM down their garden path to an entrenched oligarchy? President Edwards may be our last chance to preserve the our democracy.

[asdffd]

Well said and needs to be repeated:

"Will the voters display some responsible and rational decision making for a change? Or will they follow MCM down their garden path to an entrenched oligarchy? President Edwards may be our last chance to preserve the our democracy."

If only the Democratic voters will open their minds and ears and stop acting like sheep, spoon fed a candidate, that will probably lose, from the corporate media.

Lobbyists are a cancer on congressional operations they way infect our representatives in the House and Senate. In my opinion, the use of money to influence the content of Bills and the votes must stop! Citizens and corporations have a right to make their voices heard, but when money changes hands, that's bribery, and that's a crime! The briber and the bribee must be held to account!!

[possibility4U]

Edwards was saying what the people were feeling long before Obama got into the race, and has the strength of character (unlike Hillary) to admit when he cast the wrong vote (the war; the bankruptcy bill). What we need to return to the White House (and Congress) are true public servants. He's a cut above the rest.

I wish he would learn how to JUST GET TO THE FREAKING POINT and stop talking around it and FINALLY coming back to it. All of those "if you believe...if you believe" can be cut out. JUST SAY IT! He goes on and on and on and on and on, and it begins wearing thin. Just get to the point, already.
