Romney is doing to repugs what John Edwards attempted to do to democrats back in '08

[apples and oranges]

Surely Romney knew that all of his skeletons would be exposed, yet he decided to run anyway. I think he thinks he can buy the election with help from the Koch Brothers, Trump, etc.

1. One huge difference...

John Edwards spoke openly and publicly about helping the poor.

10. He was spot-on about the two Americas...Rawmoney is proof of one of those

we are proof of the OTHER America, the one the Right hates.

12. Thank-you! and counting our votes!

14. Well, Romney....

... Romney is speaking openly about helping those poor little job creators who barely got enough money to open up new factories in Vietnam.

2. He can buy the election with the help of Bain's giant radio network, Clear Channel Communications.

In 2008 Bain bought Clear Channel -- along with Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity,Glen Beck, etc. -- in a leveraged buyout.

3. Or maybe both of them were/are so deluded that they actually thought it wouldn't come out.

I thing your analogy is very apt.

4. What Edwards is or was or whatever he did

really pales in comparison. I think he hurt his family a great deal. But, as far as I know Edwards didn't steal a single pension to amass his wealth. I guess I was never mad about what he did to begin with, incredibly sad and disillusioned, but not angry. I felt it was a family thing mostly. I wouldn't have voted for him after his affair came to light, mostly because of the way he skirted ethics in the way he handled the cover up. But, still it was mostly a family thing. Mitt Robme wants to do to the whole country what Edwards did with Hunter, so it is a huge difference.

5. Yes, huge difference. You said it exactly.

7. +1.

6. He's not spending HIS money

He dropped out in '08, because he WOULD have had to dip into his own money and he did not think it was worth it.

The rules changes now allow him to use SD Money...all that he can rake in, so why NOT run?


SD= sugar daddy

8. But it's his turn!!!

9. Edwards was never a serious candidate , he is more similar to the position Cain and/or Gingrich were

in .

11. Pathological liars never consider that they might be caught

And if they do, there are more lies

13. relevant username.

that is all.

15. What about the "paternity" issue?

Not a bad likeness of Romney, but that looks nothing like Obama
