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.

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.
1- no one in government is protecting the interests of the average citizen. for the most part they aren’t. They are playing a game of CYA and pandering to their bases…
Peejz, thanks
Looking at that photo of the Edwards site just makes me ill. Look at the environmental destruction, the contribution to Global Warming
, 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.
I bet he didn’t even clear that brush by himself..George Bush would have!:wink:
Yeah and i bet those eco-freaks will support JOHN EDWARDS for president in 2008 while he dose this what a bunch of jerks:razz:
