3. I really wish he would stop pushing health care insurance
keeping insurance companies in the mix is a huge mistake. Hey, the Chamber of Commerce already hates him, so why keep pandering to them?

Otherwise, it was nice to see Edwards on the TV for longer than a three second sound bite.

5. Universal Health Care would be better and cheaper
because there wouldn't be all the CEO's demanding billion dollar bonus checks and no shareholders screaming for huge profits.

Universal Health Care, no profit motive.
Mandatory Insurance Health Care, same system we have now with most of the money going to CEO's and stockholders.

And I am so sorry to hear about your problems with your hand. It is a terrible world we live in that people are left on their own to address catastrophic issues such as yours.

8. And most of them working to do everything they can
to just collect premiums and not pay claims to maximize profits. Which is why insurance companies need to get out from the middle between health providers and patients.

7. CNN on Sat. just gave JRE 2 mins of airtime followed by poll not mentioning him -
CNN on Sat. just gave JRE 2 mins of airtime followed by poll not mentioning him -
we need to be calling CNN and NBC and MSNBC telling them we will complain to the
FCC and demand their license be revoked , those are public airwaves owned by us,
if they dont give equal time and mention to Edwards that they give to Obama and Clinton.
Tell em we dont like their choosing what candidates we have choice of by not giving air time to ALL candidates.

Schneider, a neocon on CNN who does the polls gave the news of Obama and Clinton...no mention of Edwards and across the country he's most electable...just mention Clinton ahead

13. Okay this was what I sent (you can tell I was really angry)
CNN on Sat. just gave JRE 2 mins of airtime twice, followed by poll not mentioning him - I and 300,000 other democrats have read this message to you. WE will complain to the FCC and demand your license be revoked , those are public airwaves owned by us,and you dont give equal time and mention to Edwards which you give to Obama and Clinton.What mention you do give is negative.
We dont like YOUR choosing what candidates Americans have choice of by not giving air time to ALL candidates.
Schneider, (a neocon who signed a PNAC letter to Bill Clinton along with Cheney & Jeb Bush) followed Edwards appearance on CNN who does the polls and gave the poll results of Obama and Clinton...no mention of Edwards even though polls show across the country Edwards shows as most electable...just mentioned Clinton was ahead .
You may be owned by Time Warner, but wherever your stations air, WE THE PEOPLE OWN THE AIRWAVES. YOU MAY HAVE COOPERATED WITH BILDERBURG FOR 60 YEARS AS DAVID ROCKEFELLER SAID IN 1992 THANKING YOU FOR KEEPING BIDERBERG'S SECRETS WHILE ATTENDING THEIR MEETINGS.....BUT AMERICANS DONT WANT ONE WORLD GOVT. AND YOU SHOULD BE SERVING AMERICANS, NOT FASCIST CORPORATIONS and Bilderburg Trilaterals desires to TAKe OVER OUR COUNTRY and the world !!!@!!! Bring Ted Turner back to manage this station. At least the news was more honest!!!

15. LOL Anna - You should have seen the one I sent about Blitzer
:)

Kinda fed up with the biased news.

But it really is no accident that they dont give time to Edwards...none of the stations do..and I'm sure the word has come down from on high : Tom Donahue of
the U S Chamber of Commerce lololololol

Seems We should all be writing (ahem) STRONG letters to the MSM.

11. CNN:
'Well John Edwards is filled with so much hate, and doesn't stand a chance against Hillary or Obama. The only thing Edwards can do is make crowds angry at corporations that hold the crowds' paychecks and well being. Sooner or later, John Edwards will have to realize he is so out of touch with Washington, that he cannot truly represent the American people and do what is right for them. The right thing for the American people to do is accept us saying that Hillary or Obama are the only candidates we, the media, think is right for them. blah blah blah... John Edwards would not be good for CNN.'
