John Edwards made a personal fortune of $60 million in malpratice suits, that means he personaly raised YOUR health insurance costs at least $180 million.

an excellent choice for kerry who says he will LOWER health care costs.

Dead on, Lazs.

Ask anyone on the street what JE brings to the table..

Most folks say John Who, and the others say, "Young, Vivacious," in other words...you have no idea who he is or what he stands for. You just gave the woman's answer....

"Welll, He's good looking...tee-hee".

Who needs doctors or hospitals, anyway?

Everyone knows that the insurance companies and med mal practice attorneys are the real heroes of healthcare.

Doctors should never earn more than $12/hour and should only get to breath oxygenated air when the insurance companies allow them. They are, after all, nothing but money-grubbing snakes who live off the blood of unsuspecting, helpless patients.

Just when I thought Kerry couldn't possibly get any uglier... It's a whole new day.

It's okay Muck, just think about it this way... Get a head start on collecting dirt on this piece of ****, and if he and Lurch win, you can make millions on an award winning documentary in 2008.

"We know that for at least 20 years, Saddam Hussein has obsessively sought weapons of mass destruction through every means available. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons today. He has used them in the past, and he is doing everything he can to build more. Each day he inches closer to his longtime goal of nuclear capability — a capability that could be less than a year away.

I believe that Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime represents a clear threat to the United States, to our allies, to our interests around the world, and to the values of freedom and democracy we hold dear...

The path of confronting Saddam is full of hazards. But the path of inaction is far more dangerous. This week, a week where we remember the sacrifice of thousands of innocent Americans made on 9-11, the choice could not be starker. Had we known that such attacks were imminent, we surely would have used every means at our disposal to prevent them and take out the plotters. We cannot wait for such a terrible event – or, if weapons of mass destruction are used, one far worse – to address the clear and present danger posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq."

- John Edwards on Iraq, September 12, 2002

"In the Senate four years — and that is the full extent of public life — no international experience, no military experience...When I came back from Vietnam in 1969 I don't know if John Edwards was out of diapers."
- John Kerry

"One evening while he was campaigning for the Senate in North Carolina, Edwards was faced with a choice of several events he might attend. An advance man suggested, 'Maybe we ought to go to the reception for Leah Rabin.' Edwards responded, 'Who's she?' 'Yitzhak Rabin's widow,' replied the aide. 'Who was he?' asked Edwards"

- Charles Peters, Washington Monthly, June 2003

...The untold story of Edwards's candidacy is that Edwards may have built his fortune in part by relying on the very sort of "junk science" medical-malpractice lawsuits that have created a health-care crisis in no fewer than 19 states. Some of Edwards's biggest wins — including a jury verdict of $6.5 million (reduced to $2.75 million on appeal) and a settlement of a reported $5 million — came from cases suing doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies over infant cerebral palsy allegedly due to botched deliveries.

Yet as my Manhattan Institute colleague Walter Olson has documented in the Wall Street Journal and on his website overlawyered.com, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, in a comprehensive study released last year, determined that delivery problems were not to blame for cerebral palsy in the "vast majority" of cases. Cerebral palsy is instead typically caused by factors beyond the doctor's control, such as maternal thyroid problems, genetic abnormalities, or prenatal infection. The ACOG report was peer reviewed and endorsed by, among others, the Centers for Disease Control and the United Cerebral Palsy Research and Education Foundation....

...Presumably, Edwards's rivals have been loath to attack his unsavory accumulation of wealth at least in part because of their fear of — and ultimate dependence on — cash contributions from the litigation industry. Plaintiffs' attorneys, whom we dubbed "Trial Lawyers, Inc." in a report on the industry last fall, have poured funds into the coffers of their political allies to gain unprecedented influence at the national and state levels. The Association of Trial Lawyers of America routinely ranks among the top five donors to federal campaigns; in the last full political cycle, ATLA was the largest PAC contributor to the Democratic party.

ATLA's PAC contributions are merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Trial Lawyers, Inc.'s political influence. Through individual and soft-money contributions, as well as PAC donations, the lawsuit industry has surpassed all others in political giving in every electoral cycle since 1990. All told, the litigation industry has contributed a half billion to federal campaigns since 1990. Some of this money of course came from defense firms who split their contributions between the parties. But the largest givers have consistently been plaintiffs' firms; in the last political cycle, each of the seven firms giving over $1 million to federal campaigns was a plaintiffs' firm, and each gave at least 99 percent of their money to Democrats.

Edwards himself has been particularly dependant on his fellow trial attorneys' largesse. When first campaigning for the Senate in 1998, Edwards received more than half his total outside contributions from his friends in the lawsuit industry. The sprightly senator began his 2004 presidential run by topping all Democratic candidates in fundraising for the first quarter, with almost two-thirds of his take coming from trial lawyers, their families, and their staffs. As noted by the Wall Street Journal, "even political professionals seem[ed] stunned by the degree to which his candidacy ha[d] become a wholly owned financial subsidiary of the national tort bar."...

PS:

Citing the non-partisan journal Congressional Quarterly, the RNC said, “From 1999-2002, Edwards voted with Senator Ted Kennedy 90 percent of the time and Senator Hillary Clinton 89 percent of the time.”
