The Road to One America - Ninth Ward of New Orleans

[EdM021]

Message to John Edwards: One America means we are ALL living like poverty-stricken Detroiters whilst the elites flee with their ill-gotten "wealth" to the Queen's pirate coves in the English Channel and the Carribean!

[dcarterfrom07]

give a man a fish... feed him for a day... teach a man to fish... and that muthafucker better go fish or he's gonna starve to death... THAT, my friends, is the cure to poverty..... responsibility

[dcarterfrom07]

at least they can admit that their people are doing nothing and expecting handouts from everyone else..... y the hell is this madness allowed to continue?? because half of all americans are liberal douchebags

[akbempire]

Everyday I wake up hungry because I live in poverty. Sometimes I don't want to get out of bed but I do because the great John Edwards has given me hope that he will come and rescue me out of poverty. You can tell that the great John Edwards is so sincere about his crusade to end poverty. Hes not doing it for attention, he really cares about the poor.

This is the "Other America".

The one that didn't get a U.S.taxpayer bailout

from Paulson and George W. Bush.

Fuck John Edwards.

[Lvmyh2]

BAWAHAHAHAAAAAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAAA­AAAAAA! ! ! LIAR LIAR

The Wall Street Journal on Friday:

34 New Orleans homeowners who face foreclosure actions from Fortress.

Edwards worked for Fortress Investment Group, getting paid $479,512. He also had $2.7 million to $8.5 million invested in Fortress, according to his personal financial report. And Fortress executives have donated generously to his presidential campaign—company employees have donated more than $150,000 toward his candidacy this year.

I just can't imagine that with all John's wealth that he has one freaking idea of the struggles most American's must content with. The $400 dollar haircut is just glaring example of someone who doesn't get it.

America is a corporation because the people are the share holders, we all own stock in the government, congress is the board of directors, and the president is the CEO. Their job is to enact laws and policies to protect America. They spend money, and they bring in money. They do all the same things as a corporation does. There just different.

[slothafur]

They certainly make loosing investments-inflating the currency, crappy Gov schools, crappy health care, crappy response to emergencies both natural and military, crappy protection of our bill of 'share' holder's rights. A government that is a corporation is called CORPORATIST-synonymous to FASCIST. Note how the Board of Directors make all the decisions, not the shareholders (the social contract is a myth).

define fascist

[johnrussellCD5]

4THE LASTTIME... google... "14 criteria that define fascism" and you'll have it. Try and argue w/ yourself, that we do not currently meet ALL 14 criteria. J R

[forthelasttime223]

so,if you love the country that your family died to protect, believe that we DO have enemies that want to kill us foreign AND domestic, dont want cultural deterioration, and believe that democrats want a socialist state (edwards tells u every day) you're a fascist? or do you just have common sense? why is edwards your hero?

[johnrussellCD5]

John Edwards IS the pre-eminent candidate in the Democratic field. He towers above the rest, and from his humble beginnings, his understanding of the plight of the poor is demonstrated by his actions. America cries out for specific answers... J E provides those answers! May reason triumph over the propaganda from the mass media. John Edwards is the only choice for President. J R

[forthelasttime223]

if you could see me im playing the pity violin for you. hes just another socialist who is trying rob the producers to pay for his career vote getting schemes.

[tomperri23]

My wife just read his wife's book cover to cover in two days. Couldn't put it down. She says it's some of the most intelligent writing she's ever seen. Let's remember these are TWO smart caring people who are still doing well against the monster money machines of Hillary & Obama. I gave my small share to Edwards. We need him in the White House. Whether Pres. or VP, he (& his wife) would be a great asset to America. Go John!

[gismotech]

edwards does not give a shit about poor people. never did never will.

[bigsid920]

We learned a lot about Edwards at the NAACP debates. Next time you see him shake someones hand be aware he maybe plotting against them. Just ask Dennis Kucinich. Don't trust hime.

[mikeyperk]

Sorta funny to see JE talking these "poor people". I have been VERy poor in my time. I was NEVER that FAT. If someone is that damn poor would you think that they would be a little bit skinnier? Also, the people of New orleans were poor before the hurricane.. who runs NO? Dems. You want to help the poor? Start job centers to help people finds jobs and to help people to get into school to get better jobs.

[Noladawlin]

You are quite a reprehensible ass for that comment!

[bigsid920]

Just remember when John Edwards shakes your hand he may be plotting against you moments later. Just ask Dennis Kucinich. Don't trust him or Hillary Clinton.

[astrogirlsirius]

John Edwards stands up for those people in this country who need someone to stand up for them. Thank you, John!

[LucindaLC]

I don't see any other candidates in the Lower Ninth Ward of N.O. visiting,and speaking with residents and day to day life and their challenges. John Edwards seems to have a plan, a plan to deal with the challenges of poverty. And a plan for national healthcare. Again, I don't hear the others speaking much about these issues, Iraq is taking up too much of our time and money. We have lost focus of what our country needs.We have been too distracted by Iraq too long.

[Liberatorusa]

Mine as well. Even if if where true that he does these things because of popularity,.. that's not so important,.. as long as he gets the job done.

- Get out of Iraq

- Take care of the economy

- Make sure people can afford to study (VITAL for the long term survival of the US)

- Make sure everyone can afford healthcare

[strategyminded]

How in the heck could he do it just for popularity when TALKING ABOUT POVERTY IS NOT A POPULAR POLITICAL POSITION? That's what you need to tell people who say that crap. If talking about poverty was about popularity then ALL CANDIDATES WOULD DO IT, and he's the only one doing it, because it isn't popular.

[mittensisfat]

he is my number 1 choice for president!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[asdffd]

Mine too. He's a good person which is more than can be said for most politicians.
