EDWARDS 2012 [View All]

[Sean Stuart]

The best candidate of either party is now out of the running. For me, Edwards was the kind of Old School Democrat that we desperately need again. He spoke of class issues in a time when mentioning the subject earns you laughter from the mainstream media (that is, the wealthy-owned mainstream media). He brought up subjects that are not permitted in the news that concern the working class and the poor, and of course those homeless veterans whom O'Reilly claims do not exist. And that really hits the heart of it: The things Edwards spoke of were highly inconvenient because the elite class wants to pretend that they don't exist and will squash anyone who has the audacity to mention them. This country is living in a Fox News fantasy world where all Americans are comfortable, where the only people who are poor are those who refuse to work, where tax cuts for the rich help everyone, where we have the greatest healthcare in the world, where the surge is working, and where soldiers return home to a ticker tape parade to live happily ever after around a bountiful dinner table on farm in Norman Rockwell's America. Keep campaigning, John, because, God willing, you're not done.
