Edwards' father was a manager!

[spotbird]

Today's trash talking point is that Edwards' father was no ordinary working stiff, he was a supervisor!

It is all a lie! I'm so disillusioned!

How will the Democrats recover from this hypocrisy? Should Kerry dump Edwards?

Good God, all is lost. sigh.

on edit:

This devastating discovery comes on the heels of the news that Edwards himself may have actually exaggerated the time he served loading boxes for UPS. That unproven report is still being pursued.

1. Only after many years slogging it on the floor.

Edward's Dad said that money was so tight that when John was born he had to get a loan before he could take his wife and John home from the hospital.

2. there is a huge difference between a manager and a supervisor

in a mill

managers work in offices with white shirts

supervisors are in blue shirts on the factory floor

so which was it?

[rooboy]

3. You mean he didn't work on the factory floor like George Bush Sr? n/t

[LiberalTechie1337]

4. WHAT THE CHENEY

Do they seriously think that this bullshit will sell to the American people. Honestly, I was really hoping we would have to actually try to win.

[Jacobin]

5. Started on the factory floor, went on to be a manager

So what?

This will get the repuklicans absolutely nowhere

[DemBones DemBones]

6. And he made how much money?

Probably little more than those he supervised. My first job, in banking, I became supervisor of my department and soon people were being hired to work under me making nearly what I made. Worse yet, new hires made more than people who'd been good employees for ten, fifteen years. It goes one everywhere.

7. Well, Cheney's father was Satan

So we're even okay.

[DemBones DemBones]

8. Who's spreading this "scandal," anyway? Where did you

hear it?

[LittleApple81]

11. Blankely (WashTimes Moony paper) said it to Tweety today... and he

was gloating about it. By gosh, he wasn't a worker, he was a manager.

[AlFrankenFan]

9. Link? n/t

[CatWoman]

12. I heard Hannity say this today

during my ride home from work.

There was a severe weather watch, and he broadcasts on the channel that provides the local weather updates.

[AlFrankenFan]

22. Hmmm I don't know if I can trust Hannity...but knowing this media

They'll corner Edwards about it, and whatever Edwards says, I'll believe.

10. Yeah, here's a picture of

that wealthy supervisor's kid, taken at his house in what must've been his best Sunday suit:



Can't you just see how well off they were?

/sarcasm

[Misunderestimator]

14. OMG... How cute... and the same smile....

I love to see the roaches scatter and try to find anything at ALL to make either one of them look bad... It AIN'T WORKING you fools!!

:bounce:

Bring it on... keep it coming... you're burying yourselves.

P.S. He appears to have really tiny feet...

[Lex]

15. Standing in leaves, I think. n/t

[Misunderestimator]

19. Yes, standing in leaves, but you can see the front of the shoes... nt

[Misunderestimator]

17. Great pics there.... and look at this hunk pic of him (on right):

and the hippie one:

[faithnotgreed]

20. great response!

[IronLionZion]

13. he was a supervisor and made less than the new guys he trained

because he didn't have a college education. There's no lie. Edwards said this on the campaign trail. His point was to give more people the opportunity to go to college.

[DaveSZ]

16. Meh

I wouldn't believe anything from the Moonie Times with that nutjob owning it.

[Toucano]

18. Are you trying to tell me they didn't eat dirt?

Why the nerve of some people!

Here I thought I was gettin' an honest ta goodness, gen-you-wine dirt eatin' suthrnur!

I mean the Edwards' had laces in their shoes for chrissakes! That's just one step from a summer house in Kennebunkport!

[IronLionZion]

21. Bush survived on chitlins and pork rinds

as he ran around Texas barefoot and in overalls.

[Ilsa]

25. Yeah, that would be when he visit home from

Phillips Exeter Academy and Yale. Must have been really hard, having to drive a Mercedes, when the other kids in Midland were driving Ferraris.

[guitar man]

23. I love it!!!!!

When they start dragging this shit out, it is a good indication they have nothing, NOTHING, on the issues.

"Hey, there were no WMD in Iraq..."

" Well, Well....Edwards Dad was a MANAGER!!!"

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OpSomBlood]

24. Bush pulled himself up by his bootstraps in the ghetto of Kennebunkport.

Jesus, are these people serious?

[bvar22]

26. Thats all you got ????

That's ALL you got!!????

Man, you ain't got NOTHIN!!!

Bring it ON, MF!!!!!

[maveric]

27. Oh yeah. And he spent his weekends at the country club.

And was driven to work every morning by the company limo.

These assholes are catering to the sub 75 IQ base here.

[ibegurpard]

28. this stuff is getting comical.

now that the country has been exposed to REAL corruption and LIES, I think they'll laugh it all off along with the rest of us.

[billbuckhead]

29. I made a hard working adult a manager so I didn't have to pay him overtime

Corporate later replaced him with 2 incompetent minimum wage kids who couldn't get the job done, but that's another story. This about Edwards dad story ain't much.
