Sept. 28, 2004 John Kerry campaign has delegated John Edwards to Red-Neck Heaven. Those small towns around the south John Kerry and Teresa wouldn’t be caught dead in. That may be exactly how John Edwards is being caught figuratively speaking, dead. John Edwards may speak with a southern accent but he’s no Redneck. John Edwards would like to portray himself as man of the earth but that’s not exactly who he is. His Daddy worked in the Textile Mill and his Momma worked for the Post Office. In South Carolina if you live in a family with two incomes and you can make it and not supplement your income by running Dew you’re living in high cotton. You ain’t poor folk that’s for sure. If you want to play Redneck in the south you can’t go around being seen in thousand dollar suits during the week and wear a NASCAR T-Shirt to Church. They may be dumb but they ain’t stupid. John Edwards political career though short is impressive. His first political campaign was for third grade hall monitor of his school. Edwards lost that election by one vote. That’s when he decided to become a Lawyer his motto became “If you can’t win it, fix it” .A mindset that has served him well in his years of practicing law. While attending an array of Colleges and Universities Edwards was always out front in his efforts to gain position and power. It certainly didn’t endear him to fellow students it did give him the thick skin that allowed him to cheat Widows, Orphans and Children out of half of the legal settlements when they were awarded by the courts. He would have made any shyster lawyer proud. John Edwards has some interesting views on the Issues of the coming campaign. National Service: Improving tax credits for men and women serving overseas. Improved housing, health benefits, childcare and more support for our troops. Is that the way he’s been voting, I don’t think so. Economy: Edwards proposes a plan to stimulate the economy in the short term while restoring the long-term fiscal discipline. Leveling the playing field for American business. Edwards has fought for recourses for individuals from the effects of out- sourcing. Senator Edwards it’s America shopping at Wal-Mart in case you haven’t noticed. Education: Senator Edwards wants to strengthen a failed federally funded education system with more money and more rules. No privet-school vouchers. He can send his kids to privet schools but you can’t send yours. Security and Foreign Policy: Senator Edwards believes in the right of self- defense [without guns]. He believes we must work with in the International community. Like I’m going let Goofy Anananana And Jzoc Shadyshark determine my security, No way Jose. Immigration: Unbelievable. Law and Justice: Edwards opposes racial profiling. He favors fostering due process of all those within the Americas borders. I take that to mean terrorists as well as illegal immigrants. I find it amusing if not pathetic the shortest item in the Edwards manifesto is on the Law. Not a word about tort reform to reduce the high cost of health care. As well as just plain stupid law suites. Gay Rights: As near as I can tell he’s against them while being for them. He’s against “don’t ask don’t tell” I can only surmise he thinks it ok but no one should know, or something like that. John Edwards you’re no Dan Quayle. Where did Dan Quayle fit in all this, nowhere I just liked the sound of it? ------------ Follow the Wit and Wisdom of Uncle Ken. A carded, certified member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
