Edwards supporters: is this anything??
Seems like Sen. Edwards is changing his past or
something. Not sure if it is a big deal or not.

1. have you seen the house he grew up in?
I think it's shown on some of his commercials on his website, hardly middle class. His mother was also forced to work because his father did not earn well.

3. Edwards is authentic
and would destroy any republican trying to justify bush in a debate. Listen: I was a working class dog, a psychiatric social worker, when my life was changed by a bank v-president on a cell phone who ran 2 stop signs and a red light, and hit me at 55 mph. In our society, he has access to much better treatment than a democratic, trouble-making social worker, right? Not in civil court, in front of a jury. Although I couldn't present the jury with the copy of the ticket he recieved, because a local justice of the peace threw it out (!) in the "criminal" court, in a civil court, a lawyer like Edwards makes true democracy occure. Insurance companies and employers and workers comp will not help someone like me. I'd been a social worker for over 20 years, always had great job reviews, loved my line of work. But I'm disabled now, and would have lost my car and my home if not for my attorney. If it ever happens to you -- and I don't wish my injuries and daily suffering on any human being -- be thankful for trial lawyers like Edwards. I mean that.

4. There is nothing Authentic
about any politician. They are all carbon-copies of each other.

5. His dad watched public tv
Seems to me I heard him say that. His dad watched public education programs so he could improve himself and keep up with college educated people. Sounds like Edwards has a great role model on working hard and moving up. I wish we'd stop posting this crap.
