Edwards Brings Anti-Poverty Campaign To Hartford

There is no bus, no banners, no trailing press contingent. But John Edwards still is campaigning, five months after ending his run for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Edwards said he intends to represent people families desperate to be heard.

I guess that exludes all of hartford.

Edwards, the ultimate limousine liberal. He's made millions from class action suits, now he's going to preach to everyone else about how they should act. He's about as believable as Teddy Kennedy.

Edwards brought his new anti-poverty campaign today to a Hartford public housing project whose residents say they have struggled for resources and attention at the Capitol

Ummmmmmmmmm.......I thought there were all kinds of resources to get out of poverty.

Are you saying he should not have come to Hartford? Should he just stay home and not give a carp?

He's kind of making Lieberman look pretty bad, isn't he?

Edwards is a typical, left-wing hypocrite. I love it when millionaires expect me to give my money (by taxation) to fight poverty while they continue to amass a fortune they will never spend in their lifetime.

Also, the War on Poverty has been ongoing for over 40 years, and nothing has changed. It is a failure and always will be. End the welfare state. Return to the days of personal responsibility. That's the only way to reduce this so-called poverty.

The photo showing both Eddie Perez and the Breck Boy just made me hurl all over the keyboard.

This just gets better hour by hour. In the morning, top article on how hartford politicans are spinning stories about hartford to make it sound at least bearable to drive through, and now a story on Edwards spinning some more. haha

A picture tells a 1,000 words. The Breck Girl Trial Attorney whose Daddy worked in a Mill, Eddie Perez the corrupt little mayor and Susan "All I want to be is Gov. I worship and love Ella Grasso" Bysiewicz. I think Susan Bysiewicz has the best body but John Edwards wins the cute contest.

Bysiewicz is as shameless as Dick Blumenthal for a photo opportunity. She is very competent but will never be gov. in this corrupt state plus she has no personality and is not a likable person.

Yeah Edwards made millions suing corporations; I don't fault him for that. I think it's a good idea to go after these greedy corporations. And now he's trying to help out those who are less fortunate. That's actually pretty cool. He's not giving his CEO buddies no-bid contracts for a unnecessary war and driving up gas prices so his Oil and Energy friends get even more wealthy. My only problem with the guy is that he pulled out of the race and now we have only O'Bama.

Edwards is nothing but an ambulance chaser. Why dosen't he give up some of his money instead of thinking we should pay more taxes. I'm tired of my money supporting those too lazy to work. End welfare
