Suggestion to John Edwards: Hillary stole YOUR plan, so try OURS

[Ken Burch]

You've been moving in a good direction, but now you really need to get into the RFK/FDR zone.

Embrace Single-payer.

You have the charisma and the passion to sell it.

People will believe you when you talk about the necessity of fighting the power.

The time for compromise is past.

Nobody in the insurance industry and nobody in the GOP want to do the right thing.

Go with single-payer. It's simple, it mobilizes the base, it has majority support and it can finally give you the issue you need to derail the frontrunners.

You've got nothing to lose. Fight for the people and fight the power!

1. So... Edwards is bashing "his" plan now that Clinton "stole" it?

Edwardians are sure funny peoples.

2. Go figure.

4. Is he bashing it?

The only thing I've heard him say about it was that it was remarkably similar to his own plan. His plan was released months ago. I don't recall hearing him say that it was a bad plan.

The word bashing is used too frequently here. Oh the horrors! Edwards said Hillary's plan is similar to his! That doesn't sound like bashing to me. It sounds like the truth.

3. suggestion to people who demand single-payer

vote for Dennis Kucinich, who is advocating single-payer.

If you support John Edwards, you are supporting a candidate who opposes single-payer.

5. I know he isn't backing it, and at the moment I'm not backing Edwards

Is there any reason I can't try and get the guy to change his mind?
We should be working on all of them.
