Comments on John Edwards for Civilian: Reason #4 No Credibility on Poverty

Since when does making yourself rich make you an expert on bringing people out of poverty? This is a totally silly argument. All sorts of horrible people get very rich. Dick Cheney, for one, comes to mind.

Also, I completely resent the accusation that I am "stealing" viewers from John Edwards. Mr. Edwards allowed his domain name (http://www.johnedwards.org) to expire so I bought it on the open market.

Edwards grew up poor and became rich because he is talented and a winner.

He is the Anti-Bush. That's why people like him.

Like me, Edwards was misled into supporting the Iraq War. Like me, he is not going to fall for lies from the Bush Administration any more.
I have not decided which Democrat I'll support, but I wish you would send me to the website that I wanted to go to when I typed in his name instead of stealing viewers who want to hear what Edwards has to say and make up their own minds.

It was a $300 haircut (not $400), and he probably had a die job to cover grey. Oh, and I can't really imagine him walking into a salon and having that done. He probably had to have someone come to his house. That is what comes with fame: expensive haircuts.
As for his $55,000 charge to the university for a speech: how much do you think Hilary Clinton charges for that? How about Bill? Try $500,000!
It is a legitimate way to make money to support his campaign. Incase you didn't notice, he is running for president and has to raise money. How else should he do it? Like the republicans? behind the back donations in the millions from big oil and energy companies? Why don't you check out moveon.org. His solutions for global warming and the energy crisis were by far the best. The moveon.org members were asked to vote, and of 100,000 member responses, 33.10% liked his solutions the best out of any other candidates!

What other candidate? Here we go: Barack Obama, Dennis Kucinich, and the rest of candidates that are still in Congress doing things for people instead of running around the country campaigning full-time.

That is not a logical argument in the least. At best, it is an emotional, childish gripe. What other candidate for President has tried to do more for people in poverty in the last few years? Edwards has used his advocacy, intellect and investments to help poor working people. Do you even find poverty in America a compelling issue?

Because this famous American is running for President claiming that he has the credibility to deal with poverty. By now, it should be clear to anybody that is paying attention that he does not.

Why should a famous American give up or discount his speaking fee (income)? Are you advocating socialism?
