his policies will only ensure that all the people he talks about will remain under bridges and waiting even longer for transplants.

Liberals, it is the responsibility of the government to help the "victims" of society not individuals. Individual assistance cannot be allowed. It is not supervised by the appropriate government bodies and does not adhere to the latest regulations. To expect John Edwards to perform an act of individual charity is like expecting a pig to fly.

and at least a spoiler for Clinton v. Obama.

I'd like to see Edwards answer your question, too, and hopefully future debates will have more Charlie Gibson moments, particularly like the one when he challenged all four to explain how they answer to their unanimous support for withdrawal from Iraq before the surge had a chance to work.

He added on to it a few years back after a couple huge slip and fall trials went his way

Did you know his Father worked in a Mill?

Your daft perspective of the world just baffles me. John Edwards doesn't "study" the poor; he advocates for the same middle class / lower middle class / working class families he grew up in. Yes, he rose in the world, against the odds, through pluck, ability and sheer will, but he never forgot where he came from. (I don't know why you begrude the guy his house. He has earned it. It's not like he financed it off the sweat of his grandfather's brow.) Now, he's fighting to push through policies that will benefit the kinds of folks he grew up with, you know, regular Americans .. those of us who can't fail out of Andover and go on to Yale, or fail in one business enterprise after another only to be given yet another one to destroy on the strength of our last names (see Bush). What's your beef with this guy? Don't average Americans (the majority, by the way) deserve an advocate who will make government work for them? Or is that just a privilege reserved for the wealthiest Americans in your view? Only they deserve obscene tax cuts, ridiculous federal bail outs for their myopic investment schemes, billions of dollars of federal welfare for their corporate enterprises, etc. Cut Edwards some slack. For every one of him, there are ten silver spooners in politics. (Familiarize yourself with the biography of just about every major politician in both major parties.. the overwhelming majority of them are at least fourth generation wealth and privilege.)

I would have paid for the operation to fix that guys cleft palate if I knew Edwards was going to go to reach into his bag for that anecdote so many times.

In terms of playing the class envy card?? Huck sounds like a conservative on social issues, but then sounds like Obama on Foreign policy and Edwards on the economy...

(1) he does not intend for his rich ass to help people, just evil rich people to shell out their cash, AND

(2) why help out patients when you can bankrupt the doctors who try to help through tons of lawsuits, causing the costs of medicine to climb...

He is the worst kind of liberal.

The logic behind this is so incredibly ridiculous it's hard to find where to start. So, is John Edwards supposed to spend every last penny of his $50 million directly on poor people? Just on the sheer numbers, advocating for real, honest changes to how our obviously broken system works is far more beneficial.

$50 million is .05% of the what insurance companies spend lobbying congress each year in order to gain more favorable legislation. Wouldn't it be more responsible for you, if you don't actually want the system to change, to advocate that the insurance companies maybe spend some of that actually covering people? (And yes, I know that Edwards' specific case here isn't 100% accurate.)

When's the last time that you chided George W. Bush for not directly helping people, or I don't know, Mitt "moneybags" Romney. IOKIYAR, I suppose.

Honestly, why the hell is it okay for a conservative for a person to be rich until and unless that person every tries to use his influence for a real good. Can anyone here seriously answer that question for me?

What exactly did John Edwards misrepresent? What are the facts that were botched in reporting the case of the CIGNA Liver Scandal?

Can someone give me some links so as to read up? Serious request.

Here's an idea. Let charities do the work of charity. Edwards can't fix all the cleft palates in the world but he can certainly donate to charities that do so. By the way there are charities here in America that do corrective surgery for cleft palates in the third world. This guy in appalachia who didn't fix his until he was 50 must have had a deformity of the brain too otherwise he would have sought help from groups that do this kind of thing. Also I wonder how many cars the guy bought and financed and never stopped to consider that if he could pay his wheels over 5 years that he could buy a normal mouth on lay-away.

Interestingly the guy with the cleft palate got his surgery for free from a clinic after waiting in line to see a doctor for 13 hours. If Edwards has his way we'll all be waiting 13 months to see a doctor.

....John Edwards had not spent so much time earning his percentage of the litigation against the medical and insurance industries Edwards would not have been so stressed about paying for his surgery :p .....

John Edwards is Lip Service...Really...I honestly hope that he wins the Libtard nomination...He is quite possibly the worst candidate on either side of the fence (with exception to Hillary of course).
