Kerry/dnc/media's latest spin: "Edwards made Millions by attacking big business ...{
ABC radio | 7/11/2004 | Robert Cook

Posted on 07/11/2004 9:03:41 PM PDT by Robert A Cook PE

Kerry-Edwards latest media-driven spin is now obvious:

Heard at least a half-dozen times today that "Edwards made his millions attacking businesses, (or "Edwards, southern lawyer who made his millions attacking big corporations") or other variations ALL "excused" (or justified - depending on how you look at it) Edward's fortune.

And, uniformly, each radio sound bite by the newsperson in question, on every show or half-hour summary, referred to Edwards "attacking" "big businesses" or "corporations."

But, he Edwards) made almost ALL his mony assaulting doctors in malpractice suits: most of them dubious at best, since many involved OB-Gyn delivery problems.

They are just trying to get some of the Nader vote.

If Edwards was looking out for the little guy, why didn't he stop taking a third of their judgments after the first million or so?

"Edwards made his millions attacking businesses..."

And they think the tax policy is the reason manufacturers take their business overseas.

Well, I suppose if you split hairs it's correct. The doctors in question have priviledges at specific hospitals which are corporations... thus... the doctors work for corporations. They are also insured by evil corporations.

These people are absolutely shameless.

Edwards is a big reason for the rising cost of healthcare.

I agree with Edwards. We definitely need to eliminate ALL corporations and big businesses, because they are EVIL! They are only in business to make money by stealing it from the working class. It's US versus THEM, boys, so make THEM pay! Once all profit-seeking, money-grubbing, high achievers are eliminated, we will finally attain the worker's paradise we all deserve.

EXTREME sarcasm! <---kinda obvious, I think, but I'll state it anyway in case someone actually takes me seriously.

Correction:

"Edwards made millions by attacking the ability of doctors to afford running a practice and by making it harder for pregnant women in the state of North Carolina to find an obstetrician to deliver her baby."

And your brilliant observation is seconded by the WASHINGTON POST chiming in with their full frontal assault on Delay's connection to the evil Enron empire.

Edwards/Kerry will stand against "Big Doctor!" Beware Big Doctor! He delivers babies and heals people--for money! Edwards will save us!

There are at least 27 doctors who lost multi-million Dollar cases to Senator Edward's junk science of "C -Sections prevent brain damage" ... who would be willing to appear and denounce, one after the other, Senator Edwards at the Republican Convention in NYC next month.

Pass it on.

Edwards made millions by raising your health care costs.

So where are Karl Rove and the RNC on this? How about an ad with an ambulance and an Edwards look-alike chasing after it? How about an ad putting the blame on Edwards and other rat, scum-bag lawyers for causing the skyrocketing health care costs that they claim to be so concerned about? Is there a pulse anywhere in this RINO administration?

If President Bush had made his money by suing doctors into bankruptcy, how many of those doctors would have been interviewed time and again already by every cable and broadcast news show??

If women had to pay more for their healthcare and still couldn't find an OB/GYN to deliver their babies due to Republican lawsuits, how many of those women would have been interviewed ad nausuim by our mainstream news media??

Now ask yourself, how many of those doctors and mothers, all attacked by Senator Edward's lawsuits, have been interviewed so far?

If any of the DNC comes to Southern Illinois, they better hope they don't need brain surgery cuz all the neurosurgeons are gone. If you have a high risk pregnancy in Illinois, good luck in finding an OB. This is what Edwards has done across the country. I guess he's not worried about all of us being able to find doctors.

Will Rove and W actually point out these things or will we continue to get the lame, pathetic compassionate-conservative/give-Teddy-Kennedy-a-hug performance to which we are so accustomed? My money is on the latter. Its too bad, because this commie dream ticket the rats have put up this year gives W a lot of room to move right.

Good point. I hadn't considered that.
