					<description>OK, so the denigration of the life insurance salesman referred only to Edward's &quot;emotional appeals&quot; rather than to his &quot;attacking a phantom enemy &quot; or making &quot;millions using the misfortune of others to build his own fortune.&quot;  I fell so much better - and just in time: I am off to a wake for my former client.  I'll let his widow and beneficiary know how lucky she was to get roped-in by my emotional appeals.

Nobody likes lawyers but there are so many other reasons to dislike Edwards.</description>

					<description>The reference to Edward's trial lawyer experience points to his style and purpose of argument as well as his underlying ambition.  It was not presented as an explanation of health care costs.

The comparison of Edwards' pitch to that of a life insurance salesman points to the use of emotional appeals for a response rather than a logical approach to problem solving.

Edwards' position on the war in Iraq is political rather than practical.  Suggesting antiwar protests during Memorial Day should be self-explanatory as to why that is a bad thing. Focusing on the honorable sacrifice of fallen heroes to make a political point is simply wrong and that should not need explanation as said earlier.

To place all the blame on one person for a shared responsibility is also wrong and a cop out.  Simply walking away from a situation you are opposed to does not absolve the US from responsibility.  You cannot simply make it go away as if it never happened.  We all share responsibility on some level.  Had Congress performed due diligence and had the public been as vocal before the vote to go to war as they are now, the outcome may have been different.  Sitting on the sidelines as a spectator and only lodging complaints serves no purpose and does not entitle one to pass judgment.
That same vocal opposition may in fact have contributed to problems encountered thus far. Universal support may have brought this event to a successful close long ago and we would not be discussing it now.  At least not in these terms.

There is no silver bullet for Iraq.  Staying or leaving both have consequences that may not produce anyone's desired outcome immediately or without additional burden especially for those who serve.  There are no simple answers. Merely walking away or complaining about it will solve nothing.</description>

					<description>I can't believe anyone wants to pitch a fit over the fact that Edwards happens to be a good trial lawyer.  My goodness, aren't there other things that are far more worrysome than that?  I'm afraid that healthcare costs are high because of reasons more dramatic than lawsuits.  Take a look at the fortunes earned by pharmaceutical companies, health insurance companies, for-profit hospitals, and specialty physicians.  Liability is a drop in the bucket next to that.

Anyone who thinks this is a &quot;serious issue&quot; must have been on another planet for four years while George Bush started a war that left 3650 Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqiis dead.  The economic cost of George Bush's war could have made every trial lawyer--like Edwards--rich 100 times over.

Even if John Edwards had horns and a tail he'd have to be 50 times the person and the President that that loser Bush is.  I absolutely hang my head in disgrace when I realize that fool is President.

I agree don't vote for Edwards.  Instead, we need another right wing clown who wants to start another war (perhaps with Iran) that we don't need and can't afford.</description>

					<description>Wake up America!  John Edwards is the major reason health care costs are so high. 

Edwards and his deceitful (Criminal!) Medical Malpractice Lawsuits have stolen from every man, woman, and child in America.  He should not be rewarded for his evil deeds!

SHAME!  SHAME!....JOHN EDWARDS!</description>
