John Edwards - "Born" TV Ad - South Carolina

John Edwards talks about his experience growing up in a working-class family in rural Carolina mill towns. "When the mills closed, I saw first hand how devastating bad government and corporate greed can be," says Edwards. "I'm running for president to do what I've always done -- fight for people like the ones I grew up with against the powerful forces that have corrupted Washington."

Edwards was the first Democratic candidate to air television ads in South Carolina. This is his third new spot in the state.

I'm so tired of hearing that Edwards is "angry," as if that's a bad thing. Most Americans are angry -- about the price of food, the price of gas, the mortgage mess, corporate greed (i.e., "downsizing" to save money, even though they're raking in billions), the loss of jobs, how much it costs to go to college, the lack of health insurance, etc. What's wrong with anger when it's directed at seeking solutions? Not a GD thing.

Another great ad for a great candidate. John Edwards never forgets where he came from and never wavers from his commitment to the most fundamental of American values: ordinary people are just as valuable and deserve just as much voice in our government as the richest and most successful people in this country. Government policies haven't been based on this truth in a long, long time. Go Edwards!!!

Yeah, and just because he won't be able to do any of that, doesn't mean he is an idiot in any way!

John Edwards is weak, and he is finished politically. The voters have REJECTED him.

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!

dtaijo174 , MAN he's not giving more power/control to the government. He really did that was Bush. President Edwards administration IS NOT GOING TO SPY ON IT'S CITIZENS, IT'S NOT GONNA MONITOR WHAT KIND OF BOOKS YOU BORROW FROM THE LIBRARY, EDWARDS WOULD NEVER BRINGBACK MILITARY TRIBUNALS LIKE BUSH DID. People are STRUGGLING TO MAKE THE END MEET, THEY NEED A LITTLE BIT OF HELP AND THAT'S WHAT EDWARDS WANTS TO DO, HELP PEOPLE
