I'll vote for Edwards for this reason ...
Advertisements [?]
He appears to honestly oppose our government being controlled by Big Business.

"No corporate lobbyist or anyone who has lobbied for a foreign government will work in my White House," Edwards pledged.

Edwards also says he will take Big Money out of politics. That is something no other candidate has promised in eight years.

The last man who vowed to reform political contributions was John McCain in 2000. The GOP Big Money Contributors grabbed him by the scruff of the neck like he was a puppy who just sh*t on the carpet, slapped him across the ass with a folder newspaper, stuck his nose in it --- and then threw him out the door. McCain -- who now supports anything Big Business wants -- will be the first to admit he has been a much better (and house-broken) Conservative Republican because of that experience.
