Edwards: Fighting Corporate Greed Will Rally Democrats, Republicans, And Independents

Dec 30, 2007 3:52 PM

On day four of his "America Rising" tour, Edwards says corporate greed hurts everyone and Democrats, Republicans and Independents will work to wrestle power back to the middle class

"Boone, Iowa – Today at a community meeting in Boone, Iowa, Senator John Edwards said that Democrats, Republicans and Independents must work together to fight the corporate greed that is destroying the middle class. Edwards' remarks calling on politicians to work across party lines to fix the broken system in Washington come on day four of his "America Rising: Fighting for the Middle Class" bus tour across Iowa. During the final days leading up to the caucuses, Edwards is visiting 38 counties and meeting with thousands of caucus goers to share with them his plans to stand up to powerful interests and make sure hard-working middle class families can get ahead.

"To get real change, we need a president who will stand up against the big corporations and powerful interests who control Washington," Edwards said today at his "Countdown to Caucus" event in Boone. "We need somebody who is going to fight this fight and win this fight. But I'm not talking about going to Washington as president and fighting politicians.

"I want to be absolutely clear that the corporate greed that is destroying the middle class of this country and stealing your children's future, it is stealing the future of Democrats' children, Independents' children, Republicans' children, " Edwards continued. "I'm telling you, this is a message and a cause we can unite America around."

Edwards comes from a working class family and has spent his life standing up to powerful interests and fighting for regular Americans like the ones he grew up with. As president, he will continue to stand up to these interests and bring change to America. He believes every time we fight for jobs, families, the middle class, universal health care, and an end to poverty, America rises."

1. It is true, because the Middle Class holds us all.

The Middle Class is being systematically destroyed. The Middle Class knows and is becoming the Angry Class.

2. I support Edwards. I don't get - at all - why Bloomberg is preaching "unity"

as he (and his crew) consider an independent bit for the Presidency...

The meme of "unity" makes me angry -- this isn't a time for conciliation, it is time to find the moral high ground, like fighting corporations and helping the people, and take it.

6. LET'S TALK ABOUT GREEDY CORPRATISTS...shall we?

And just LOOK who is at the TOP of every one of these and the Big O who is in the top five of most of them.

Hmmmm???

[Froward69]

7. 7 of 8

Edwards is above Biden... your point???

[Triana]

8. You've got a bad rash because Biden isn't in the lead and Edwards is...

...and you're using irrelevant trash posts and responses to drag Edwards down 'cause you're upset about that and acting out. Sorta like a 6-year old. Sorta like the Hillarites and Obamites.

Get over it.

11. no I am disgruntled at

the constant Line of BULL!! that flows from hiss mis guided followers.
I love America Far too much to "Get over it." NOT on par with FDR!!!NOT on par with FDR!!!NOT on par with FDR!!!

12. Which candidate running is?

None of the candidates running have all of the characteristics of FDR. None. Certainly not Biden or Clinton.

The only real measure we can use is where they stand on issues and what they speak to in terms of policy. I would say Edwards and Kucinich are far closer to FDR style changes in helping the impoverished and the working class, and only Kucinich is offering a good solution in terms of Healthcare reform.

But if I am stuck between Obama, Clinton, and Edwards then the choice to me is fairly clear.
