Curious: How Many "Domestics" Does Edwards Employ

[MannyGoldstein]

in his 24,000 square foot house? What are they paid? Do they have health care benefits? Pensions?

Anyone know?

This information would show us where his heart really lies.

[BulletproofLandshark]

1. Don't know...

But shame on John Edwards for having a huge house!!!

:sarcasm:

[H2O Man]

3. Absolutely.

I want to know how many pets he has. And I demand to know if they are allowed to belong to unions.

[MannyGoldstein]

5. Do You Think Of Employees As Pets?

Interesting.

[H2O Man]

7. No.

That thought belongs to you.

[MannyGoldstein]

10. Uh... No.

You wrote as if they were somehow similar.

[H2O Man]

13. No.

The similarity existed only between your ears. I was simply making fun of your lame excuse for an attack against a good democratic candidate.

[MannyGoldstein]

17. You Clearly Asserted That The Questions On Pets And Employees Were Comparable

I passed English, you know.

[H2O Man]

19. But not logic.

You are failing there.

22. Here we go

Bubbles, Fluffy, Aunt Pitty, Spot, Rover, Fluffy Jr, Alfonso, Lulu, Bell, Scoots, Digger, Tweets, Ca-Ca (a bird with a BIG case of bowel issues), Snappy (turtle), Greeny, Droopy, Ol' Gal, and Ta-Ta.

26. lol

[sniffa]

2. that's a good question

but, i'm more concerned on how many ex-gays Obama is still employing.

[DemKR]

4. attack attack attack

[cali]

14. BWAHAHAHAHA

you've mastered the art of asshattery. not to mention the most absurd level of hypocrisy i've seen here Congrats.

[sandnsea]

8. I know Hillary employs current homophobes n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

9. Names please

[sandnsea]

27. Done it, repeatedly, you don't care n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

29. Oh I'm hurt

[sandnsea]

32. That's too bad, nobody was trying to hurt you n/t

[sniffa]

31. indeed she does

fuck her too.

[Catherine Vincent]

6. I'm sure the Edwards' pay their employees well.

They're liberals.

[onehandle]

11. He does his own housework.

He can't afford "Domestics" because of his $24,000 haircuts he gets every five minutes.

I'd just wait until Fox News asks questions like this.

[MannyGoldstein]

12. You Don't Think It's A Relevant Question?

I think it would tell us a lot about him, and whether he's truly reformed himself.

[ecstatic]

15. I thought it was 28,000 square feet? nt

16. I doubt if a single front runner on either side is a member of the Middle Class.

They're rich and they spend their money how they want to spend it. If you're going to ding one of them for their wealth, you'll probably have to ding all of them.

[MannyGoldstein]

20. I'm Simply Asking How He Treats His Employees

Does he walk the walk? It would be a fair question to ask of any candidate.

[Bluebear]

28. Why not write the campaign and report your findings back to us?

It will be a nice little project for you.

[ecstatic]

23. Obama is nt

[sandnsea]

30. Upper upper middle class

Not far from normal, is how they put it.

[Fridays Child]

34. If Obama is Middle Class...

I am now officially a member of the Working Poor.

Sen.Barack Obama (D-Ill.)

Net worth: $1-$2.5 million*

Details: In January 2005, Obama agreed to a $1.9 million advance from Random House for two non-ficton books and a children's book, of which $200,000 is being donated to charity. One of those books -- "The Audacity of Hope" -- has been a huge best seller since being released in October. He owns a home worth at least $1.6 million in Chicago.

*His wealth is likely to have increased significantly because of the huge success of "The Audacity of Hope"

21. Stately Wayne Manor got by with just Alfred.

If the Edwardses have more than one domestic frankly I have to ask if he thinks he's better than Batman.
Well, John? Are you better than Batman?

24. 28,000 square feet, not 24,000

[doc03]

25. I don't care, it's none of my business it's his

money if he wants a 24000 square foot house and has 100 house keepers I don't care.

[williesgirl]

33. Who cares as long as they're legal and fairly paid. John & Elizabeth aren't exactly home to do it

themselves!

[sniffa]

36. wait, wait, wait

are you suggesting JE may employ illegal aliens? :wow:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

35. and are they Anti-Christian?

:P

On a serious note, that's an excellent question we should be asking ALL of the Candidates.

[ChiciB1]

37. Okay Guys, Time To Pull Up The Pant Legs Now!! WOW!!

I think I have to get ready for a party now!

[Stop Cornyn]

38. I'm gonna say fewer than FDR. You know the house is 10,400 sq ft, right? You include the garage.

I don't know about where you live, but if I tried to sell my house claiming that the garage square footage was part of the house, I'd either get laughed off the MLS or get charged with fraud.
