WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Sen. John Edwards, answering President Bush's blistering criticism of Democrat John Kerry, contended Wednesday that the Republican was "completely out of touch with reality" about the Iraq war and the economy.

"He won't acknowledge the mess in Iraq. All you have to do is turn your television on," Edwards said. "They still don't recognize that there's any problem with jobs and the economy" despite rising health care costs and record job losses.

"You can't fix these problems until you recognize there is a problem," the Democratic vice presidential candidate told a sign-waving audience in a warehouse at the Palm Beach County convention center. "They're in denial. They're in denial about everything."

Earlier, in a speech in Pennsylvania, Bush accused Kerry of waffling in his position on the war on terrorism, pushing for higher taxes, and sending mixed signals to allies and enemies.

1. Psychologist Rollo May and Psychiatrist R.D. Laing noted

that the degree of divergence from reality of politicians mirrors that of psychotics.

That John Edwards speaks the truth.

2. It is hard work being wrong and too stubborn to admit it. n/t

3. Reality to them is the life of a rich person. Edwards knows what

what he's talking about since he grew up in meager surroundings. I doubt that Snear Cheney was telling the truth when he said his experiences as a young man were similar to Edwards.

If he can't tell the truth about Hussein and Al Quaeda when we have proof of his having said they were connected and now lies about having said it, why should we believe anything else he says.

4. Media always says K/E "respond",

while B/C ALL DAY LONG get headlines that read "B/C ATTACK", "B/C SLAM", "B/C NEED NAP blah blah

9. Not very subtle if you are aware of how the media manipulates thought.

One half of the country is living in delusions!!! And their churches are parroting what Repukes say on Sundays! Sheeeesh! These sheeple *need* to be led... they can't think for themselves! ! Sad!

If you're going to hit these kind of themes, you have to keep it simple.
