I actually saw the interview with Mrs. E this morning. I didn''''t think she said anything the least bit controversial. Can anyone tell me what she said that causes this criticism here?

GretaGreen;

It really has nothing to do with what Mrs. Edwards said.

Attack dogs like global chick, Xlib, xzavierbrown, infidel_us, mudrose, et al, couldn%u2019t care less about facts or truth. Their intent is to smear and degrade any candidate not of their party.
It was called %u201Cswift-boating%u201D during the 2004 election cycle and they have never stopped.

It is a shame they can%u2019t see, or simply don%u2019t care, that their insults and name calling shows the level of their own characters.

Every reader of these comments, whether or not said readers post comments of their own, can clearly see the type of person they are, and judge their comments accordingly.

AWWWW, are the republicans so worried about Edwards they have to call him names? I think they are, poor little things. Well maybe if you dredged up a candidate that could speak without lying and wasn''t trying to declare the Constitution null and void, you would tremble a little less when you saw Edwards or his wife on the tube. But for goodness sake DON''T listen to his ideas, your head might explode.
Let''s base our vote on fear or hair cuts.

John Edwards is an elitist idiot who stated last week that those who make $200,000 annually are, in his definition, "middle class." He lives in a house probably 20 times the size of one most of us live in, yet he campaigns for energy reduction and global warming. He does a speech on poverty for college students, and he charges $55,000. He gets his hair done by paying for a stylist to fly out to wherever he is, at around $1,400 a pop. THIS is what people want in the White House? We need a REAL man.

I understand that Ms.Edwards has health problems and maybe because of that she feels she can run her mouth and no one will attack her.However she is not running for President..her husband is and he needs to slap a muzzle on her.She-like Osama''s wife-is out of her league in this campaign. They are doing more harm than good...they both need to get their facts straight and stop acting like a couple of old shrews,that have no intelligence and certainly no class.

I don''t understand the pricey haircut either. Did he ever try to explain that?
But, frankly, if that''s the only bad thing we can say about him, he''s doing great.

To the poster from NC (if you see this), I''d like to know what you think of Edwards for president. You probably know more about him than the rest of us.

"Bleeding heart Liberal" -- you''d think that maybe, just maybe the libs would get just a little credit here. WMD''s, Liberating the people of Iraq, Shock and Awe, War on Terror, Osama Bin Laden... and that''s just a FEW of the failures in someone ELSE''s country. How many times can a conservative be absolutley dead wrong and not see it? Yup, I''m a bleeding heart liberal, and everyone on this post would be if they went to a few more Military funerals. YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS ARE DYING FOR THIS!!! Meanwhile, back at the White House, Bush and Cheney work diligently to turn democracy into dictatorship (see recent presidential directives for more). Soon, we won''t have to even worry about debating issues, our government will do it for us.

I still can''t understand how John Edwards, or anyone else, can pay $400 for a haircut.
Do we want to let someone like that near the bilions involved in the federal budget?
I know I don''t.

I don''t minimize and defend Ann Coulter. I just think it''s hypocrisy that liberals applaud their people for being outspoken and controversial, but when a conservative does it, it''s all over. That''s all. And frankly, I think a lot of what she says makes sense, even if she doesn''t always say it the right way. Also, she is LIGHT YEARS away from the hate filled vomitus spewed by people like Amanda Marcotte, Melissa McEwan and just about anyone on Democratic Underground, Daily Kos or HuffyPo. Also, she is a satirist. The people on those blogs are not.

I haven''t heard Mrs. Edwards attack anyone personally and attacking policies or positions seems fine to me. I think Laura Bush is great (except for her taste in men) because I''ve never heard her make any kind of personal criticism of anyone. I thought Teresa Heinz was awful because she did personally criticize Mrs. Bush. (I still voted for Kerry, of course, so the relevancy of future first ladies is in question.)
