18. Yep. Standard for Hill's Shills.
Speaking of "Snake Oil", have you seen Hillary's Mandatory Private Health Insurance Plan.



"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone

11. And Harry Belafonte WON'T Hurt Him Any Either... Even Though It's
my impression that many younger voters don't really know the extent of Belafonte's activism!!

People such as Belafonte CONFIRM the intellectual legitimacy of John Edwards because this kind of supporters have been in the trenches since the 60's and continue today to work for many causes of the "less fortunate!"
