Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards told a labor group this week he would ask Americans to make a big sacrifice: their sport utility vehicles.
The former North Carolina senator told a forum by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, that he thinks Americans are willing to sacrifice.
Spoken like a true, filthy rich liberal.
You people, you folks need to give up some of your luxuries…
What about Edwards?
• The Wall Street Journal has identified 34 New Orleans homes whose owners have faced foreclosure suits from subprime-lending units of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Mr. Edwards has about $16 million invested in Fortress funds, according to a campaign aide.
• Edwards, who proposed an educational policy that urged "every financial barrier" be removed for American kids who want to go to college, charged a whopping $55,000 to speak at to a crowd of 1,787 at the taxpayer-funded University of California at Davis.
• The man gets $400 haircuts
• He has a $100 million bank account.
• He lives in a huge mansion.This is the candidate who has made poverty his central campaign issue.
One more note.
The editorial page editor of the largest newspaper in Edwards’ home state of South Carolina calls Edwards a
”phony.”
