“Hey, thanks capitalism! Now that I’ve made it, the rest of y’all enjoy socialism. Love, John Edwards.”

H/T to Michelle for that quote and others from  MKH :

A couple thoughts on this:

1) At 28,000 square feet and 100 acres, if there are two Americas, I’m sure John can pony up and house at least one of them.

2) If a Wal-Mart had wanted to clear-cut that much land in Chapel Hill, the unwashed, protesting, green masses on Franklin Street would still be screaming about it.

3) L.L. Cool J = Limousine Liberal Cool John

4) “The recreation building contains a basketball court, a squash court, two stages, a bedroom, kitchen, bathrooms, swimming pool, a four-story tower, and a room designated ‘John’s Lounge.’”

John’s Lounge? Senator, I served with Jay-Z, I knew Jay-Z, Jay-Z was a friend of mine. Senator, you are no Jay-Z.

5) A recent New Republic article asked how Edwards had become the “poor man’s candidate,” touring the country’s labor unions and strike sites with comfort.

I’d guess he had them all over for squash, at the same time. Union guys love squash.

6) “He estimated that the tax value will exceed $6 million when the facility is completed.”

I wonder how many free health clinics that would have funded.

7) “…we can invest in some of the cleaner alternative sources of energy — wind, solar, biomass. There are a whole series of things that we need to do.” — John Edwards, in his announcement speech in New Orleans.

Weird, I don’t see any windmills or solar panels in that picture.

    Tough Sell

    In the wake of the WMD debacle, it is just natural for anyone to be skeptical about any Bush administration claims in regards to Iraq or Iran. Where is the proof Iran is responsible for attacks on US troops.

    There may be proof out there, but in th…

    If annual income or net worth is the measuring stick in politics, then it is reconfirmed that no one in government is protecting the interests of the average citizen.

    My opinion of John Edwards is still being formed as is my take on Chuck Hagel. I am reluctant to draw conclusions on either. A Democrat Edwards and Republican Hagel seem similar somehow.

    China’s one Child Rule and unintended consequences

    If the average Chinese citizen ever becomes as well off as Europeans or Americans, they will not need a one-child only policy since well-educated, well-off westerners average less than one child per couple anyway.

    Looking at that photo of the Edwards site just makes me ill. Look at the environmental destruction, the contribution to Global Warming :shock:, the potential destruction of fragile ecosystems!!! Were any endagered species compromised? Hmmm??

    You can bet that if Bush or Cheney had done that, it would be leading the Democrite talking points and the MSM headlines for a week.

    Edwards has probably sued other people for less.

    Hell Freezes Over: The Republicans Act Like, Well

    Satan was sure that the Warner/Levin bill would proceed unobstructed through the Senate. Satan based this assumption on the belief that the Republicans would abandon the sinking presidential ship of state like the rats they are.

    The Infidel Ayaan Hirsi Ali

    We in the West would be wrong to prolong the pain of that transition unnecessarily, by elevating cultures full of bigotry and hatred toward women to the stature of respectable alternative ways of life.
