George Will does his best to spin John Edwards populism on its head during the round table discussion on This Week. If Edwards and Huckabee get the nominations our corporate media is going to lose its collective mind on who they want to attack more.
George Will, although usually brilliant, sometimes leaves me with serious doubts about his sincerity. His point that Edwards supports populism through increased state power and regulations thereby further entrenching the corporate interests to a larger government, and therefore more lobbyists, is absolutely correct. what he fails to mention is the obvious: a smaller government means less lobbyists because it means more corporate control, at that point the corporations don't need the lobbyists.
And John Edwards is an ambulence-chasing trial lawyer who would have done nothing to stand up to special intersts like trial lawyers lobbyists and union lobbyists. He's the kind of guy who looks you in the eye, pledges his unequivocal support for public schools, then sends his own kids to private schools because he knows how badly teachers unions of damaged public education in this country.
It is that very fundamental principle which is the core of conservatism and libertarianism. I'm like Aluvians, I'm suprised this viewpoint even made it on tv.
