Maybe I'm an idealist, but I see a bit of the greatness and humanity of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt in both John and Elizabeth Edwards, and were he to become President, I genuinely believe Edwards would do his best to redistribute some of grossest transfers of wealth that have occurred in the past 25 years from the upper classes back to those of us suckers who have the misfortune of earning less than a million dollars a year.
Unless and until the war on the American people is ended then the slide toward totalitarianism will not halt. Edwards may slow that slide somewhat but he has no plank in his platform to end the war that has made "The Land of the Free" into the largest incarcerator of human beings on the planet.
