What are you talking about?? He was SUPPOSED to be a senator first here in NC. Instead, he is heavily invested in a hedge fund that are foreclosing on Katrina victims?? Don't believe me...I understand....I'm just a YouTuber u don't know. But with a few clicks of the mouse, it can be PROVEN..not refuted. Google: John Edwards Hedge Funds
Dr. Ron Paul is the best hope for America. He is drawing support from all political spectrums. Invest 10 minutes and watch Dr. Paul speak in YouTube videos. We as Americans need to unite and put our needs ahead of big money influence. It's time to end the circus in Washington.
Edwards is also involved in a mortgage/hedge fund organization that is currently foreclosing on homes in New Orleans. What about THAT corporation that he's putting ahead of working families....and who have been devastated to boot.
Excuse me....that IS the truth. You need to research a bit prior to calling me a liar. Edwards was DIRECTLY involved....not thru a broker. It's classic of a Democrat to twist the facts around & defend something they know nothing about.
"He and his wife, Elizabeth, also spent several million dollars creating after-school learning labs to serve primarily underprivileged children at two high schools in Raleigh and Goldsboro. He also created a poverty think tank at UNC Chapel Hill."
Two of the firm's holdings in particular proved troublesome for Edwards: Nationstar Mortgage of Dallas and Green Tree Servicing of St. Paul, Minn. The Wall Street Journal in August disclosed links between Edwards, Fortress and the two subprime mortgage lenders, which had sought to foreclose on victims of Hurricane Katrina.
"Edwards directed officials at Fortress to redirect his investments away from subprime lenders, an effort to repair damage from the story. He also pledged a donation to aid those in Louisiana at risk of losing their homes."
"Edwards directed officials at Fortress to redirect his investments away from subprime lenders, an effort to repair damage from the story. He also pledged a donation to aid those in Louisiana at risk of losing their homes." ---------Yea he pulled out once he was called out on it!!!
Look for the transcripts on Google. His reason for being involved was laughable. He said he got involved "to learn more about hedge funds". Everyone's bullshit meter hit the red.
Two actual quotes from Edwards, from your suggested link, are:
Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said Tuesday that he worked for a hedge fund to learn more about financial markets and their relationship to poverty in the United States.
"I didn't feel like I understand, and to be honest with you still learning right now, sort of the relationship between that world and the way money moves in this country through financial markets," Edwards said.
You started your argument with Edwards playing a part in the subprime mortgages foreclosing in NO. He would never have allowed that. Once he found out, he put a quick stop to it and then committed his own money to help those people hurt by the foreclosed subprime mortgages.
He is a very good man. He made a lot of money fighting for underdogs. He is a self made millionaire with a big heart, that is why his opposition feels threatened.
No, he's no threat in my opinion. Look this one up: Kerry, his own running mate, got chills from what Edwards did regarding his son's death. He told Edwards, "I've never told anyone this but I crawled up on the gurney when Wade died & made promises to him". This sent shivers down Kerry's spine because Edwards forgot that he had told him the very same thing before...to him & a few other ppl.
No need to look it up, it's in Bob Schrum's book. There's long history with Schrum. The story is laughable, didn't happen. I know the real story. There is much to be written about Schrum and Kerry.
The most important thing is to look at how NC feels about him. If you look at other candidates, they typically take their homestate or at least make a good run. NOT SO in NC....You HAVE to realize there's a reason for that. Phony/sticky sweet ads to get elected & then did NOTHING. They even asked him last night "what he did as senator"...they asked him that question for a reason in which he had to dance around to come up w/an answer..
I'm sorry but you really are digging deep. Clearly YOU have distaste for Edwards, but that doesn't make it true statewide.
I would say just the opposite about Edward's debate answer on what he accomplished. It would take far more than the 2 hours alloted to go through it all.
NancyAnania: I promise that I'm not trying to be a smart aleck to you. I've just discovered TOO MUCH about him since living in NC. His phoniness is just so incredibly obvious to others. Google those words too: John Edwards Phony
No, I know he didn't say he got involved "to learn more about hedge funds." Again, I've ask for your proof. Google has not located your basis for me. What you have "discovered", is not proof. He is a threat to many, that brings on all the kooks.
NancyAnania: Trying again...if not, when you google: 'John Edwards Hedge Fund' It's the newsmax article titled 'John Edwards: Hedge Fund as Poverty Lesson
I don't think I've mentioned this one before. You know the little pink house in SC he shows in the ads? That's where he lived until he was "1". His father then got a big promotion & they moved to a nice brick suburban home in NC, he attended a major university, etc.
Ok...I just made all that up .LOL. Are you serious?? That pink house was where he lived until he was "1". HE GREW UP IN A NICE BRICK HOME...why don't you go research that instead just assuming I pulled that out of thin air.
Again, you keep writing your "facts" but NEVER supply any fact, or viable link, to back it up. Yes, you may have pulled it out of thin air. Why? I don't know.
It doesn't matter what I send to you, or how many references. You call them all bogus. There's no other reason why I would be referencing all of this (since he won't win anyway), other than he's sickening. The very low numbers of supporters in his own home state should give you an idea that I'm not B.S.ing
Wow, that's a good one, "or how many references." One link that didn't work. I think my job is done here. I've proved you wrong over and over. All can see you are having a tough time with his success. So be it.
You're the one lying. One link didn't work because as you know, I can't cut & paste it with the "dots" and "coms". I RESENT IT TO YOU...and you even commented on it. Then I sent you the poll link. And I'm having trouble w/his success? You mean the "success" he had in Iowa & the 3rd place success he will likely get in NH & SC?? I told you, this man just makes me ill. He is the epitomy of a fake, phony, & hypocrite.
I haven't made my mind up at this point. I have less than a week before the caucas. I'm looking for someone who cares about the middle class. Someone who can take on insurance companies, someone who isn't afraid to fight for average americans. I like most of the democratic candidates. I'm between Biden, Edwards & Obama. Different reasons for each of them. I need a fighter !!! I need a President who is a super hero and I think you might be the one!
hmmm, I'M from NC and back Edwards completely. I suspect this is one of the "rabid Republicans" in the state having a tough time with Edwards success.
Unfortunately for you, most North Carolinians don't share your view. Did he win his own homestate in the '04 election?? No. If you combine the top 20+ polls, he's in 3rd place now.
I would like to remind you the Kerry campaign opted to not run a single tv ad in NC during the '04 election. That certainly has an effect.
I think you need to take another look at the most recent polls. We shall see tonight - I think you'll be surprised.
Edwards always beats every Republican in the general election, unlike the other Democrat candidates. Personally I think that is why the Republican supporters try so hard to knock him down.

It's fine to criticize Edwards when speaking the truth. It's classic Rebublican behaviour to stretch the truth and repeat it as often as possible.
EDWARDS IS NOT involved in mortgage/hedge funds. His broker had some, once he found out he pulled out his money. Seek the truth.
