60. Frankly I think that DK has every right to be pissed at Edwards
After that little stunt last fall with Edward's mike open, and the fact that Edwards has shamelessly stolen much of his platform from Kucinich, I think if I were DK I would be pissed to, and throwing my support somewhere, anywhere else than a phony, everchanging politico who talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk.

I simply don't get the attraction to Edwards, his schtick is as transparent as glass, his record is bad, and the only reason that he's come out being a populist this time around is because the center, which is his true forte', has become really crowded with Clinton and Obama.

Oh, and while Kucinich continues to walk the walk, one look at Edwards donor lists shows that he is no better than the others, another corporate whore taking money from anybody who will give it to him, including the financial sector, legal sector, and many others.

But lordy, lordy, how people are fooled by the man. He comes out with the populist rhetoric, puts on a big show of contrition, and people think that he's the next coming of Eugene Debs. And people jump on the bandwagon without thinking because they want to back a winner, a name, the symbol of populism who has absolutely none of the substance. Boy, you folks will be severely disappointed when Edwards starts showing his true stripes, those of simply another corporate whore and warmonger.
