John Edwards: Poverty Guru and Foreign Policy Expert
In an obvious attempt to give the illusion of foreign policy experience, John Edwards called Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf yesterday after the Bhutto murder.
Amazingly, Musharraf actually took his call. Edwards reportedly told him to allow an international inspection team to investigate the Bhutto murder, if he wants to have any credibility left. This was of course before the body was even on ice and details were still sketchy.
Clearly this was a political stunt to be used on the campaign trail. Edwards had no business calling a world leader to tell them to do a damn thing. I’m surprised that Musharraf even took his call to begin with. John Edwards doesn’t know anything about foreign policy, or Pakistan, or the War on Terror.
I have to laugh every time I hear one of Edward’s stump speeches. He truly is the phoniest candidate that has ever run for President. It’s amazing that anyone could take a filthy rich trial lawyer seriously when he howls about corporate greed, “two Americas,” and the middle class.
John Edwards often talks about our “broken system” and our “corrupt system” that’s totally “rigged” against the little guy. But what I’m wondering is how John Edwards the “son of a mill worker” got to be so damn successful under such a corrupt and broken system?
The system was good enough for him, but now that he has his 30,000 sq. ft. house, it’s time to change the system for the rest of us.
John Edwards is a far-left phony who should leave foreign policy matters to the grown-ups. His “shtick” is pretending to identify with poor people and he should just stick to that.

I don’t know that much about John Edwards. But I know more than I want to know about President Bush, You can’t force a people to want what you want. Democracy takes time, you can’t force it on people who are not ready for it. It takes longer than an eight year term to make it happen.
I think in hindsight your correct, but it was a noble effort and in the long run we’ll probably be better off for it.
