2. Couldn't someone sue them for false advertising?
"News" is definitely not what they're engaged in.

for making them report false stories. They lost the Appeal. :(
(heard on Randi Rhodes today, I'll try and find a link.)

3. I am surprised it was not Bill Clinton's fault
They blame poor Bill for everything that happens in the entire world. I guess they are picking on Edward's now.

4. Scapegoating Edwards--Now You Know Who to Vote For!
That was a faux pas if ever there was one.


I'm not denying that the threat inherent in the tax issue doesn't exist, but it does overlook the massive bubble/inflation/credit crunch and other bad economic news.....

9. Obviously, a man with such enormous influence on the economy should be President.
After all, the turd sitting there right now can't do shit without wiping his ass with the Constitution ... but Edwards gets extensive attention without ANY executive authority whatsoever.

:shrug:

11. Cavuto is hysterical. Edwards could declare he'd dismantle captitalism
completely and those fucking parasites would be selling their
junk bonds right up until the last second anyway.

12. Please tell me thats a lie - Edwards is not advocating raising capital gains taxes...is he ?
Edited on Wed Aug-01-07 09:29 PM by MazeRat7
Me thinks that just more Faux lies... but since Edwards is not my candidate...I don't know all his platform for sure.

Can someone bring truth to the Faux story linked by the OP?
(only the part about Edwards position on raising capital gains - I know the rest is crap.)

13. Have you noticed corn is more expensive? That's the "Real" reason the markets are down. No wait!!!!
Have you noticed that there aren't any hurricanes yet? That must be the "Real" reason the markets are down.


Oh no...that's not it.


I know what it is now!!


My Aunt Edna gets these nasty bunions on her feet only in years when the stock market drops. Surely that's the "Real" reason.



Oh wait...dangit. I don't have an Aunt Edna.

16. Whoooee Whooooee . Those GOPers are absolutely
obsessesed with try to discredit Edwards. They are
so blatantly partisan and then dare compain about Dems.

If Edwards can move Markets--we better get him elected.
Then he will improve things for the rest of us.
