Obviously, Edwards doesn't even know what communism is - a system where not only health care, but everything is run by the government.

If Edwards is this clueless, and Obama only less so, then get ready for the Hillary candidacy.

As my grandmother used to preface all comments to me to illustrate my ignorance.

"Good God Gertie."

And then make her point. Such as:

Why are we even considering this person to be be President:
A man who sends out his wife to do his heavy lifting.
A man who spends more on cosmetics than a house full of playgirls at the Hefner Mansion.
A learned man who does not know what kind of governmental oppression that exists in Cuba and extends to the health-care system.
A man who knows so little about the US Constitution he can't distinguish a person's selfish desires from rights.
A man who should spend portions of his ignorrant jury monetary decisions on a basic education.

"Good God Gertie." What a goon. And Pussy.

EB...Your grandmother said that very well. I never felt that John Edwards was a viable candidate in the first place.

ZZ,
I used perhaps an un-authorized license to put words in my dearly-departed grandmother's mouth.
She was gone long before John Edwards realized the importance of a four hundred dollar haircut.
But, creeps span all generations, she would not have liked him if she was here today.
We have a big family, Me and Ole Grandma were tight.

God bless your grandma, EB...

What bigfoot said. John Edwards has to ask if something in Cuba is government-run?

To those who will be voting Dem in 08: Do any of you take John Edwards seriously? I am not joking or trying to be smart. I would really like to know.

TheSmokingRoom...I won't be voting Democrat in 08. BUT I can't imagine too many individuals reeeally believing John Edwards has a chance. It always amazes me that any red blooded American would vote for any candidate that wants to Socialize our Governmaent... Freedom is what America has always been about. Why would we want more laws to dictate our lives?

zsa zsa, they don't see it as socialism per se. All these government helps that the Democrats desire are founded on the idea that there are bad people getting filthy rich at the expense of the deserving poor and middle class, and confiscatory taxes are simply equalizing the game - plus a suitable "rent" for living in such a well-meaning society.

As for supporting Edwards, the problem that the Democrats have is one not unknown to Republicans in other years: "Well, I don't trust Hillary...Obama is too green and thoughtless...the good candidates, like Richardson, don't seem to be getting much traction and we do want to have a shot at winning...I guess that leaves Edwards. Ouch." Most votes are negative.
