I'm Listening to John Edwards and Getting Sick

[commonsense]

I've been hearing Edwards over and over on all the ads and I'm soooo tired of it. I can't believe how many people chose him in Iowa today...he and Hillary are tied.

John Edwards made his millions with the false claim that silicone implants were dangerous. All he did was steal millions of dollars from private investors - many of them retirees - and block people from using the implants for a few years until the FDA and the medical community as a whole came out and declared his claims were bogus.

And after such a public humiliation as the FDA ruling, he still has the unmitigated gall to tell people he "knows what's best for them."

With some of the things he talks about trying to get done, even if he did have a chance to make it, someone would ensure he didn't make it... by force.

Some of his ideas would take power away from many powerful people. As we all know, most powerful people LOVE power... they don't give it up easily.

Wow. A lot of personal attacks against Edwards. lol

Personally, I don't like him much...but I think he'd be better than any current Republican except maybe Huckabee.

If Edwards were to go in office, you would see a huge flight of Corporate America to distant shores...even more so than in the Clinton years. There are just some politifcal attitudes that are not friendly to large corporations. This is unfortunate since they bring so much prosperity to middle America.

With travel and communications the way it is and the attractive tax breaks given to Corporations around the world, more and more large business are realizing that they do not have to put up with this sour attitude toward them. Who can blame them for thinking about moving elsewhere? Edwards would be a huge disaster to us. I am afraid that Obama would be just as bad. On foreign policy, he would be a total disaster with his appeasing disposition. Hillary is the only one who is at least half way moderate but even she is out on the fringes on most issues.
