Reply #26: I never liked the "Two Americas" theme [View All]

First, it's devisive, and second, it ignores the majority of Americans.

Unless I'm missing something, he's saying that everyone is either rich or poor. Well, which are you? I'm doing okay, and my bills are paid. I don't have debt, and I have some savings. Most of the people I know are in about the same shape I am. So most people I know (and probably most of you) don't fit into either of those two Americas.

It sounds good in a speech, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny, since most people know very few Americans who fall into either of Edwards' two Americas. If you added the population of those two Americas, it wouldn't amount to a majority of the population, by a long shot.

So there are three Americas, and the biggest one is wondering where we fit into Edwards' plan.

Plus, pile on the fact that Edwards is now sharing the ticket with a multi-millionaire, and it looks like he'd better drop the two Americas bit like a bad habit. Let's face it. It could bite him on the ass. The republikans are salivating over this kind of thing. Don't throw them raw meat.
