Ditto.

But then that's what he has been doing the last 4 years and no one seems to be listening!!! But now if he continues talking you may vote for him?!

I understand the collective IQ of the Nader-herd as it is predictable but the number of wide-eyed fluff lappers on this board is remarkable! Fluffy Obama and now Breck Edwards?! All talk no substance and empty rhetoric and yet, the nuts and the naive lap it all up as the gospel!!!

With corporate America gunning for Edwards I expect this is the tip of the iceberg.

After all since the Dole Bayh bill was passed in 1980 colleges like UNC, in the Carolina Corporate
Research Triangle, became the whores of corporate interests. It is a safe platform for corpos to use to launch attacks from on anyone who defends the people's interest.

Hi pajeff. Tell us about your banning from CBS Sports website. It is quite an accomplishment to be banned from a sports board.

I'd say Charles Rangel is getting tough with corporate america. Rangel for president.

off topic

Oh OK! He was giving a speech! When I saw the headline: "Edwards Gets Tough With Corporate America", I thought he was actually doing something ... finally! Can't recall anything he did in the Senate!

Yep, when he has not moved his numbers at all in the last 10-11 months, that's pretty much all he can do ...

This is in the business section to alert the corpos.

Well put! ....but then why are so many Democrats 'mesmerized' by the CELEBRITY of HRC and earlier by Obama. She gets by with est. positions on issues only as a reaction to those announced by other candidates or 'public outcry.'
(Oh! By the way, she likely spends, at least, $400 on coiffure's fees in a matter of weeks. Why doesn't the very BIASED/QUEEN-crowning 'media' make some inquiry?)

The irony of the "do-gooder/food facist" concept is that those activities are nothing more than "enforcing the law".
The current admin is so contorted in the favor of corporations that is knowingly defunds enforcement of any law that twarts a bush pioneer, or other large GOP donor's profit margin.
There is a complete disregard for our LAWS!
Our Constitution and our laws are being held in contempt, and the average joe doesn't know or care.
disgusting!

me too

Valery Plame: Better at celebrity (and motherhood?) than spycraft!

They also lied about environmentalists opposing brush clearing here in the San Bernardino Mountains. A complete lie.

Lazy Americans? Americans consistently poll in the top range of the most hard-working citizenries in the world. There's a point to be made about our saving habits, but criticism of Americans about that should probably wait until gasoline, food, health care, i.e. everyday necessities, aren't breaking the bank.

American produtivitiy has gone up year over year for decades. Savings are being captured by collusion.

How about raising wage levels.

Yah, rag on the lawyers, many help people fix an injustice. What's next? Rag on the ACLU for standing up for civil liberties?

All of the 'occupations' you so assiduously enumerate are on some scale employing a business structure. Accordingly, when they 'achieve' the income level of a CEO, they are treated similarly....!

You have many questions and few answers, grasshopper.

Exactly right. He is our Bobby Kennedy and the establishment has pulled out every stop to try to kill his message.

Edwards is our only shot at reversing the GOP-spawned corporatism that is destroying the country. It has completely polluted the GOP and is rapidly infecting the Democrats. The fact that all the money is now going to Hillary Clinton and to our disapointing, lame-ass congress (11% approval) proves this.

I had hoped the 2006 election would change things. And it did - things got worse. If Hillary wins in 2008, the Republicans will win back Congress and many governorships by 2010.

Sad to say, Greenbus, but they WILL indeed do everything they can do to stop these ideas from spreading. Just ask JFK or RFK...oh I forgot. They're dead. Shot by lone nuts. One of whom used a magic bullet. Robespierre had the best plan for aristocrats.

Yes, the mean-spirited repub's have smeared John Edwards and his wife too! I think she is a kind, down to earth, super intelligent, strong person. Just the kind of person that drives the crazy,lunatic "Religous" "Evangelicals" into a frenzy when they roll in the ailes of their "church." The way she want after Ann the Maggot Coulter on Hardball was breathtaking. The dragon breathing Coulter was knocked back onto her jagged tail. So impressive, Elizabeth. We have so many great candidates that it is refreshing. After scrapping the bottom of the barrel last time, this is a treat. I would consider John Edwards as a VP on the ticket. Kerry and that batty MarBeth Cahill did not use him effectively last time. Kerry was just such a disappointment last time. Cheers, John & Elizabeth Good luck!

Yup. Edwards is now, if not already, officially unelectable. No one, NO ONE, takes on the wealthy establishment and gets away with it in this day and age. Sure, Nader did it to some degree years ago, but now, fah-get about it.

They who? Edwards is doing everything to stop himself.

Latest poll out today:
Clinton 48%
Obama 17%
Edwards 13%

With all due respect, this mountain is too steep to climb. Edwards needs to end this while he still have some dignity left.

Is major media covering this?

If ONLY....! The 'media' (unofficial candidate pickers....!) are only concerned with HRC, Obama, Romney, and Guiliani. They remaining candidates--likely the best of the lot--might as well be invisible.

How can this bias be thwarted? HRC sucks up more 'investment banker"s' $$ every day; they don't want ANY course alterations. Read the WSJ block which appears below the article. HRC's endorcements come from people who can expect jobs in 'her' administration.....

While I'm not opposed to Edwards, this sentiment bothers me a bit, because ultimately what this is banking on is a traditionalist worldview disparaging a woman leader.
