Poverty Tour?
Possibly the lamest Democratic candidate for President… ever. John Edwards is as about as genuine as a three dollar bill. Perhaps he should hand them out at stops on his poverty tour?
Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards launched his bid for the White House last December in New Orleans’ devastated Ninth Ward. Since then, the former North Carolina senator has pinned his campaign largely on ending poverty in America. This weekend, Edwards returns to New Orleans, where he will begin a 12-city tour through poor America. The journey mirrors the famous 1968 tour of impoverished areas by then-senator and presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy. ~npr.org
My contrarian senses tell me that the subconscious message of John, “The Future is Now,” Edwards’ poverty tour, ie the “Road to One America,” is that his ultimate goal is to promote poverty as the radical solution to the inherent inequality of the, “two America’s,” …as well as the devastating effect the overbearing capitalist over-consuming country is having on the globe by singlehandedly devastating the world with global warming.
What are the odds that Edwards isn’t actually the perfect example of the worst stereotype of lawyers as conniving manipulating shysters?
First there is the exploitation of his wife’s cancer. Ahhh, great press coverage which dies down eventually. Then they engineer a press release ready ambush of Ann Coulter for the hard core left base. Boom, instant coverage and left blog hurrahs. But for some reason Edwards is still not number one n the polls.
How to get noticed? Well, there’s always postal and bomb scares. Surely the prospect that hateful right wingers are trying to assasinate you before you become the greatest liberal President ever will be like a call to arms to all the left to rise up and begin the revolution. Workers of the world unite!
Chapel Hill — Thursday marked the second postal scare in four months at John Edwards’ campaign headquarters in Chapel Hill.
Both incidents proved to be harmless, but for businesses in Southern Village, Edwards’ headquarters is becoming more of a nuisance. ~wral.com
“Look at me! I’m a threat to the rabid right-wing haters!”
It will be interesting to find out where the FBI investigation leads. Because we know that within the mind of the Edwards conservatives are right-wing fascist nazi’s who do just this kind of thing because of their vile hatred of all that is right, true and moral. Look, I’m just suspicious, that’s all. It just seems a little too ‘Munchausen syndrome’ to me.
When we look at the, “Road to One America,” what are we talking about here. Massive liberal plagiarism. Can’t Edwards come up with his own ideas instead of cobbling together all the golden oldies of the left? Hasn’t the War on Poverty already been fought …and apparently lost?
Chapel Hill, North Carolina — As part of his ongoing effort to end poverty in America, Senator John Edwards will travel to 8 states next week on a “Road to One America” tour to shine a bright spotlight on what he calls “the great moral issue of our time.” As part of the tour, Edwards will use a variety of innovative multimedia and online tools to engage and energize Americans from across the country in the fight against poverty. ~johnedwards.com
Yet another War on Poverty, with all the same liberal methods, tactics, and failed strategies that characterized the previous failed War on Poverty is likely to yeild the same results. Aren’t we told daily by Democrats that it’s folly not to change strategy in a failed war?
