  • N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?

    For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes! ( No, that is NOT a typo.....we DO want to pay more taxes! ) But we can't. Not in the USA. The government won't let us. Now, who the heck am I talking about? Those ...

    >>What does it matter what we'd do if we were asked? I mean, you aren't reporting on the reader, for the benefit of the candidates, are you? Well actually reporting on what voters think and feel and want from their president is what I do. Voters pick their presidents. They're important that way. >>I'm going to lay aside ...

  • John and Elizabeth Edwards

    I have liked John Edwards since I first saw him. For me, he doesn't come across as presidential; he doesn't come across as a slick lawyer. He comes across as a fella who has learned to operate in the ''fray'' of politics, but is not wallowing in that ''fray.'' His wife brings to the table the sophistication that he hasn't quite assimilated. I ...

  • Re: John Edwards, looking the worst in the face

    Madai, Are you kidding? Have you looked at the great amounts of money John Edwards has given to the help poor? And at the school he set up at the University of North Carolina to tackle this very issue? He could be spending his time making more money, as he appears to be a brilliant lawyer. But he's using a presidential campaign to make those of ...

  • Re: John Edwards, looking the worst in the face

    Elizabeth Edwards’ posts have been fantastic. She’s right: Four Trials lays out in moving detail Senator Edwards’ successful fight for people who didn’t have a voice. What I wrote about in the piece was about what conclusions we were supposed to draw from the ambiguous ad. Perhaps everyone immediately thought of Senator Edwards’s law career ...

  • Re: John Edwards, looking the worst in the face

    Elizabeth has a point. John Edwards' personal trials or tragedies were not things that he chose-- they chose him. But, as a star trial attorney acknowledged as one of the best in the country, Edwards could have chosen to represent very wealthy corporate clients-- as indeed Hillary did at the Rose firm in Arkansas, representing some of the very ...

  • Re: John Edwards, looking the worst in the face

    I thought Elizabeth Edwards would be bringing up John Edwards' career as a trial attorney in this context. And that's fine and legitimate. Dickerson should have known the reference to his trial lawyer career his autobiography, but the ad still doesn't seem very clear. And that is a problem for Edwards. I was in Prestonsburg, KY ...

  • Is fertility treatment linked to Elizabeth's breast cancer?

    Another angle to this story which so far hasn't gotten any press is whether Elizabeth Edward's back to back fertility treatments caused her breast cancer. Since hormone replacement therapy - at much lower doses - IS known to be associated with higher breast cancer rates, isn't it possible that fertility treatments designed to trick an older ...
