O.K., here's an example of pure political pandering for you.

[calteacherguy]

"Edwards' proposal would cut off health care for the president, Congress and all political appointees in mid 2009, if a universal health care plan for all Americans has not been passed by then."

How naive does he think the American people are? Look, I'm long since past wanting to attack Edwards, but this is just so extraordinary it's almost beyond belief. Does he really think Congress would pass a law to cut off their own health care? He's not even acknowledging reality! Incredible!

1. He'll use his extra special Unitary Powers to zap them into a suasion

I got "suasion" from Wes Clark, heh heh. You'll all be sick of me saying it soon.

2. You sent me to the dictionary - nice word.

3. you mean

calling attention to the fact that millions of Americans are without health insurance, while our bought out by the health care representatives have the best care in the world, is pandering? Pandering, you call it? How about waking people up to facts. You are pandering by trying to spin this. Edwards is laying out the facts

[calteacherguy]

5. So it's a fact that he will have such extraordinary powers as President

to deny Congress their health insurance. Is he going to install himself as the supreme benign dictator or something?

4. A stunt of desperation - another "Hey Look At Me!" from Edwards...

He shouldn't have quit the Senate.
