The simple fact about John Edwards is this--if he isn't rich, he isn't a playa!!

1. I wish they'd talk about all the other rich candidates

and not single out Edwards who MADE his OWN money.

[w4rma]

2. Apparantly rich people aren't allowed to advocate for the poor. (nt)

[barb162]

4. Well, FDR did and he was rich as hell

I don't get this stuff. The Republicans start in on the 400 buck Edwards haircuts but what are Mitt Romney's haircuts costing?

[Kiouni]

5. God cuts Romney's hair!

therefore its free.

:crazy:

7. Oh

bwa

12. I hate to say it, but it's not that rich guys spend $400 for a haircut,

it's the hypocrisy. ;)

I'm joking (for the most part) in reaction to many here who support outing gay Republicans and unfaithful "family values" politicians not because of who they are or what they do, but because of the "hypocrisy". As far as I know Mitt makes no attempt to portray himself as a "man of the people" or base his campaign of the issues that are important to the little guy, so he's not being hypocritical. He's just a rich guy who likes good expensive haircuts.

I like and support Edwards and will be happy to vote for him if he gets the nomination. But having thrown the hypocrisy "stone" at the other side, I fully expect to have the "stone" thrown back at me. (I can always say that this issue it different, but that is the same thing that "they" say.) ;)

9. I thought people get rich off the backs of others...

I know A LOT of people who did that.

10. Edwards getting rich on winning court cases usually

against corporations screwing "little people" is okay with me.

3. Aren't they all rich? Isn't that the name of the game?

:shrug:

[OwnedByFerrets]

6. When they cant come up with anything substantial,

they bring up shit like this.:puke:

[DBoon]

8. If he wasn't rich..

the right wing smear would be that he is a hippy loser who couldn't get his own life together and now wants to be president so he can tell everyone else how to live.

All this crap about Edwards is just repeating smear talking points.

11. and Bloomberg "earned" his inheritance ...
