1. Sorta sounds like the Obama supporters all they do is bash bash
bash Hillary. I do not believe that Edwards is bashing. He is above the fray.

4. He's doing what he has to do in order to set himself apart...
...and also to get more press.

7. Edwards has it right, if we really want to get big
money out of politics. Do we?

8. He is doing what he genuinely believes is right
His statements that are critical of the corporate influence in our government receive tremendous and very emotional approval -- cheers -- from his audiences. It isn't that he says it to please his base. It is that it he says it because he believes it and he has found that statements of this nature really strike a chord with his base. Kucinich is saying similar things, and getting the same response. They are both sincere in their statements.

These statements hit Hillary really hard. Too bad. She and Bill had their eight years to rectify the criminal abuse of our government by lobbyists. They did nothing. I'm willing to give Edwards a chance to try to do something. We either vote these moneygrubbing traitors (the lobbyists especially those that work for foreign countries and big corporations) out of politics or we totally lose our country and what is left of our way of life.

9. He was hit hard
Kucinich hit him hard for what he said. Rightfully so...

11. John Edwards sounds more and more
like RFK in April 1968.

And his anger is righteous.

12. A & B...
After failing to raise more than $13,500 from lobbyists, he gives back 3,500 and complains about everyone else taking money from them.

I wonder where the other 10K went and why he didn't give it back earlier.

The guy is a joke, wrapped in a political coward.
