I am just amazed that people, AMERICANS, still watch FOX.

It just shows me that there are a lot of idiots that live here, and our country is in grave danger of self-destruction.

Weren’t the Founding Fathers “enlightened”?

“Edwards did lie. He does nothing for the democrats except try and drive wedges between the classes eventhough he has profited his entire life from the poorâ€™s misery, i.e. a blood sucking trial lawyer.

One, where did he lie? You cite nothing. Two, blood-sucking? Corporations don’t have blood.

Wow, Tracy2, that wasn’t even a good try.

I’m not sure that even measured up to Frank M’s standards.

Let us not forget homelessness and for profit health care began under Reaganâ€¦ Reagan closed down many of the mental institutions putting the mentally ill in the streets. And, from lack of mental health facilities/modes of treatment the school shooting have gone up.

Just another skid mark alongside Ronnie Retard’s name and garbage presidency ; I never believed I would see another US president that was even close to being as crappy as he was….Chimpy is one special kind of stupid and useless , though……Sadly for us.

And due to the fact we have so many of the mentally ill untreated the Prison Industrialized Complex have made billions for many. Our country, the US, has 5% of the worlds population, yet we hold 25% of the worlds prisoners.

I may just vote for him, since he has more of a chance to break through the MSM election fixing barrier and actually winning than Kucinich does, unfortunately.

Comment by Wayne â€”
I would bet most posters here and others from the informed population agree. Kucinich, Edwards are the ones the corporate MSM , (MSM also invested in other corporate areas such as defense and health care) fear the most. Can we get through to the dimwitted hypnotized TV viewers the truth of this corporate take over? With Edwards money which he has little of because he takes no corplorate money?

Oâ€™Reilly insisted that homelessness â€œhas nothing to do with the economyâ€ and is â€œmostly because of addiction and mental illness.â€

I always knew that O’Lielly was an unequalled imbecile , but this line of thought is completely insane….

A lot of those that are suffering from mental illnesses turn to drugs/alcohol because of inaccurate diagnosis and/or the inability to get a proper mental evaluation and subsequent rehabilitation/treatment ; or they simply cannot afford medicine(s) they need…….And I’m in no way advocating drug use or trying to condone it , but did that coward Pervert O’Lielly ever stop to consider some of the horrors these Vets have endured and/or witnessed , and come to understand how easily susceptible they are to looking to forget it all ; and what ‘better’ , simpler , quicker way is there than to become a drug user ?

Here’s a link that refutes Falafel Boy , and adds to his legendary idiocy…

Mr. Edwards never once said our piss poor economy was the reason for homeless vets. Donâ€™t let facts stand in the way of your rant.

Comment by Dr. Matt â€” January 18, 2008 @ 5:50 pm

I caught Edward’s town hall on CSpan the other day ( CSPAN is the only place you can actually hear what democratic candidates, other than ObaHillary is saying ).

I like what he says. I really like his position and I understand why the media has been marginalizing him along with the other Democratic candidates. I may just vote for him, since he has more of a chance to break through the MSM election fixing barrier and actually winning than Kucinich does, unfortunately.

It is amazing how so many Republican and conservatives always want to talk about how well our poor compare to those in Mexico, Brazil or third world countries. The fact that our poor do not do well as compared to other modern, industrialized countries never phase them.

The US Air Force and private industry spent a fair amount of dollars training me in quality processes. Strange since I was an attorney by profession. However, it was foreward looking government agency and aerospace firm that recognized that quality principles applied to administrative and managment processes as well as to manufacturing. The concept is called “best-in-class.” You look at those who have the best record, determine the factors driving their success and either adopt them or improve upon them.

The same applies to social programs. When you limit yourself to not having our poor as bad off as those in the Sudan, then you will never be successful. In the long run, as seems to be the case in the US, the economy will suffer as the poor become a bigger economic drag. It takes a certain amount of income equality to drive any economy by providing robust local demand and production.

It is sad to see the corporate MSM control/manipulate the primaries for their corporate interest.
If enough can and will see this, Edwards may become the nominee.

If we truly lived in a meritocracy, O’reiley would be living under a bridge. Even if you accept his own reasons for homelessness of mental illness, he should still be living under abridge. He certainly deserves to live off garbage scavenged from dumpsters. Better yet, just drop dead Bill.

There is no sane reason for anyone to be homeless in America.

Comment by Roger_Roger â€”
It became a huge reality after Reagan took office. I wonder why that is…? I don’t believe the word homeless was even used until then… before that they were called hobos and hobos did not include families. Along with that horrific problem was the birth of for profit health care… began under Reagan of course. Only in America, under republican rule do we have homeless vets, homeless families, 18,000 of the working class dying each year from lack of health care…
For these reasons one has to be a complete heartless idiot to not vote straight ticket democratic in the next election.

Oâ€™Reilly challenges anyone who questions his statistics to show him the homeless vet who is watching a black and white TV under a bridge or in a tent city.

had enough, I find it amazing that one of the national polls had Edwards at 27% in Nevada, within 2 points of Clinton and Obama, and television and print media completely ignored the poll.

Of the three frontrunners, Edwards is the one large corporations are the most afraid of. He’s the last one they want to see on the ticket. Everyone with any brains at all knows that his core message is right.

In the same hand Edwards needs to admit that our economy has little to nothing to do with that situation as the â€œpoorâ€

Dr. Matt,

Good catch! That was my take as well. Not once did Edwards blame the homelessness of vets on the economy. This is the way disingenuous blowhards like O’Lielly operate.: Misstate what others say to set up a straw man, then twist the facts to confuse “the folks”, as BO “watches out for you.” Someone should ask him if the vets are part of “the folks”, and with lies and distortions like this he is watching out for them.
