The following headline is on Drudge:
Edwards: 'When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk. Get up out of that wheelchair and walk again'...
The anti-christ can also perform miracles.
"I walked on water before I didn't.
BENNY HINN FOR SURGEON GENERAL! (c8
Yeah, Kerry will make people walk.... and Islam is a religeon on peace.
Maybe he can't heal him, but he can go back to a time when being a quadraplegic was just a nuisance.
No details on this yet? Where was this rally? It's an outrage. It is tough for the Repubs to criticize this but I think Mr Bush can say it is wrong for Sen Edwards to exploit the death of Chris Reeve in this way.
"The anti-christ can also perform miracles"
Good point! Should Heinze change their slogan from 57 varieties to 666?
KERRY CAN NOW RAISE THE DEAD!!!!!!!!!!
Is Kerry Christ, according to Edwards?
At the very least.
Do they have no shame? using the passing of a very courageous man to further an agenda. No offense to the newly departed, but Christopher Reeve is just that. Does Edwards mean that if Kerry is elected "the dead shall rise and walk the earth?" Isn`t that one one the precursors to Armageddon?
Making the lame walk is a medical possibility. To make the dead vote takes a democrat.
Do you have a link to what Krauthammer said?
The lame will walk and the unborn will be murdered.
That's progress....
No I heard in on Rush, so it maybe there when they update the site...
I think Krauthammer is a paraplegic.
Then John Edwards must be the False Prophet.
....sign him up for the TBN Network!!!!
Kerry: "And I will make Heinz ketchup good. And I will keep Florida free of hurricanes. And I will cure my lip licking problem."
Kerry/Edwards are unreal. I am ashamed that my home state has given our great country Sen. Edwards. Please forgive us.
All the dems have a Messiah-complex...remember Clinton calling himself, "the walking apostle of hope."?
Thanks
I sure don't.

"I am ashamed that my home state has given our great country Sen. Edwards. Please forgive us."
Don't feel bad, we all have that problem. I'm embarassed that Oklahoma produced Admiral Crowe, whom Kerry quotes all the time as endorsing him.
Rush said he was a quadraplegic. I was stunned by that. I had no idea. Rush said he was in a car accident when he was 28.
oopps.. he= Charles Krauthammer.
Wait'll tonight when people in "battleground states" get home and get a load of this news...
That's despicable. What a snake oil salesman.
Good point. The guilt is still there though.
Maybe Kerry can help bring his campaign back from the dead - that should be his first miracle.
What a joke - does anybody in this country take Kerry/Edwards seriously?!
Does that include his campaign?
Knowing Kerry he would have a photo of himself walking on a frozen lake!
Somebody needs to check the back of Kerry's head and see if
there are any weird numerical signs back there.
He has already done that. Look at the voter registrations in Penn. There are more people registered than what the 2000 census says lives there. Including children.
your right, that is what was said, the mistake was my wondering mind...
There is a saying. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Edwards has had only one term, correct? From what I hear there is no chance of him getting another. Nothing to forgive as far as I am concerned. Besides, did you vote for Edwards?
Oh, take a Valium and sit down!
Then who are the ambulance chasers like Edwards going to sue?
Hadn't you heard that Kerry walked on water while in Vietnam? /sarcasm
Heck no I didn't vote for Edwards. I knew he was bad news - I have a friend of mine who knows him and he tipped me off as to what a hypocrite this guy is.
Uh, no I did not.
Now, Brother. If you could just spare some of your hard-earned money to help us solve the infirmed. We can continue on our effort to cripple the country, I mean, help the country.
Can I get a Satan-lejah?
Anyone have a link to a transcript or audio clip of Sen. Edwards quote? (Other than the headline on Drudge)
When I saw the pic that Drudge ran of Edwards with his hand up in the air with the caption, "Be Healed," I almost choked on my sandwich. LOL.
Ok then. Why ask for forgiveness? You had nothing to do with him getting an office to begin with.
Edwards: Bush/Cheney Out-of-Touch
COLORADO — Colorado continues to be a battleground state for the presidential election.President Bush attended a campaign rally in Colorado Springs and Vice Presidential Candidate John Edwards held a town hall meeting in Commerce City.
Senator Edwards came to the Denver suburb to pump up the Democratic base; Commerce City is an area with a lot of Democratic voters and an area that has some economic problems over the years.
He set his speech as the people versus the powerful, saying the Kerry administration would fight against big oil, big HMO's and big corporations.
He also repeated that John Kerry has a plan for Iraq that includes speeding up training for Iraqi security forces, speeding up reconstruction and making sure elections will be held.
Edwards' Town Hall Meeting Text:
And one of the reasons he's going to win is because George Bush is out of touch, he is out touch with the economy because he thinks outsourcing jobs is good for the economy; he's out of touch with the healthcare crisis in this country which is one of the reasons he fights for HMO's, insurance companies and big drug companies. He's out of touch with what's happening in Iraq right now which is why he continues to say everyday everything's going great"Meanwhile, later tonight, Senator Edwards will appear here in California on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."But Iraq is a mess and it's a mess because of GWB and Dick Cheney -- it's that simple; they're not leveling with the country at all with what's happening there; I mean you see what's happening there everyday: we've lost over a thousand troops, we have parts of the country under the control of insurgents, Americans being kidnapped, in one case beheaded, terrorists flowing into Iraq from all over the world and George Bush is not even willing to recognize what even Republican leaders recognize, that Iraq is a mess; well John Kerry has a plan for Iraq; we're going to speed up the training of Iraqi's to provide for their own security, we're going to speed up the reconstruction effort so they see a real benefit to what happening; we're going to make sure these elections take place as scheduled and with a new President and fresh credibility we're going to return to the proud tradition of America reading strong alliances and bringing others into the effort so we are not doing this alone.
If that is the entire "Edwards' Town Hall Meeting Text:", it must have been the shortest 'Town Hall Meeting' in the history of political Town Hall Meetings.
Something's up!
Veep candidate Edwards visits Newton
By TOM OWENSTalk of debates, jobs and health care highlighted the Monday morning question-and-answer session held by John Edwards, the Democratic nominee for vice president.
More than 1,300 supporters filled the Newton High School gymnasium for a 30-minute speech by Edwards, followed by questions from the audience.
Entering to a recording of Chuck Berry's "Johnny Be Good," Edwards launched into comments about past and future political debates.
"On Friday night, President Bush asked the moderator a question that should be most telling to the American people," Edwards said. "Bush asked, 'Is my time up yet?' In November, with your help, John Kerry can show George Bush his time is up."
Edwards recounted Bush's debate remarks about not importing prescription drugs from Canada, but how that policy might change after the election.
"If he's allowing prescription drugs from Canada by December," Edwards said, "he'll have to do it while he's packing to leave the White House."
Reaching back to his North Carolina roots, Edwards offered one prediction for the upcoming final debate between Bush and Senator John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee.
"They're going to try every way they know how to put lipstick on this pig," Edwards said of Bush's perspectives on his current Republican administration. "But we know a pig is still a pig."
No jokes or putdowns from Edwards were aimed at the Maytag Corporation. Not once did he single out the Newton-based manufacturer by name. However, a pro-labor theme permeated the Edwards rally.
After the local United Auto Workers president led the crowd in the pledge of allegiance, laid-off Maytag worker Brenda Breckinridge introduced Edwards.
"We want places like Newton to grow," Edwards said. "American workers are the best in the world and they deserve a president who is working for them, not against them."
Other union members appeared throughout the crowd wearing "quit outsourcing our jobs" T-shirts. Edwards teed off with the theme.
"This administration thinks outsourcing millions of American jobs is good for our economy," he said. "I'll tell you what would be good. Let's outsource Bush and Cheney."
Edwards explained how all tax incentives will end to companies who move jobs overseas, while new tax breaks will reward companies who keep jobs in America.
He said labor will be a high priority for the new Kerry administration.
"On the first day John Kerry is president, we'll reverse these overtime rules," he promised.
Regarding health care, Edwards echoed the Kerry plan of providing the same health insurance to private citizens that Congressional members enjoy.
Edwards took time to honor a recently-deceased actor while outlining one health care goal.
"We will do stem cell research," he vowed. "We will stop juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases. America just lost a great champion for this cause in Christopher Reeve. People like Chris Reeve will get out of their wheelchairs and walk again with stem cell research."
An audience member fed up with increased co-payments and rising costs asked Edwards how he could provide better health care for veterans. With suit coat off and sleeves rolled up, Edwards seized the question.
"They're nickle and diming our veterans," he said. "Now, they want to charge veterans a $250 enrollment fee. Speaking for me and John Kerry, we feel veterans paid their fee when they put on the uniform of the United States.
"No veteran is going to have to worry if they'll get health care when we are in the White House," Edwards concluded. "You were there for us. We'll be there for you."
Rita Figgins of State Center attended the Newton rally.
"I'm a senior citizen," she said. "I want seniors taken care of. I want someone to get down these huge doctor bills. Kerry and Edwards will help the middle class."
