#2 What was not tiresome was watching you guys tear him apart on this post. Hillaryous. Some guy down the block has an edwards sticker on both cars. I just cannot respect him, at all.

#3 Let's define poverty as 'the bottom 15% of the economic ladder.' Now, maintaining that definition into the future, devise a plan to eliminate poverty.

#4 Edwards head is much smaller than his house, but there is much more vacant space in his head. The really good part is that Hitlery has the same plans. They proudly announce their plans as if people who pay taxes never listen to them.

#5 This would be significant if he had a snowball's chance in ~~North Korea~~ Hell of actually becoming president, much less getting the nomination.

#6 wx, they don't need the votes from the people who pay taxes. The system has skewed far enough now that they can win by just getting the non-tax-paying voters to show up and vote for them.

#8 He's not running for President. He is running to keep his name in lights, so that Hillary will either make him V.P. nominee (he is a Southern dhimmi) or some other plum job in her administration. It goes for the rest of them also. I mean what else is he going to do, go back to being an ambulance chaser or hedge-fund advisor (hee-hee)?

#10 > John Edwards says if he's elected president, he'll institute a New Deal-like suite of programs to fight poverty and stem growing wealth disparity.

The "new deal" was a disaster and extended the economic problems rather than helped them.

#11 A 30,000 square foot house and hot and cold running champagne for everybody. All one needs to to is sue companies into bankruptcy based on discredited science.

#12 "College for Everyone"
This intrigues me because I'm unclear as to whom it is supposed to appeal. I personally know of one very good state college here in Pennsylvania that has a tough time meeting its admissions goals regarding qualified minority students, possibly because it is rurally located. Minority status, economic need, and any reasonable SAT score will get you tuition, room, and board.

#13 And I must add that two years of community college around here already comes at a bargain basement price to any resident.

#15 Jeebus, between Hildebeast and Breck Boy's promised socialist programs, none of us will be able to afford the taxes that will be necessary to support their grandiose programs. They have promised just about everything they can think of to attract potential voters. Unfortunately, some donk voters are going to go for their BS promises. This is as bad as the UN's "oil for food" ~~con game~~ program except it is an "everything for votes" ~~con game~~ program.

#23 After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone there's no denying
You'll feel blue you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time, when you'll regret it
Some day when you'll grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine
And you'll want me only
After you've gone after you've gone away

#26 How about bring manufacturing jobs back?

I'd settle for a Japanese gardener. The Mexican ones just come in, bust their asses, and go to the next job. I want somebody who's gonna sneer at the roses while he prunes them, dammit!
