If the quote on Drudge is accurate -- and I've been told it definitely is -- than Edwards should be so ashamed of himself. He allegedly said 'When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk. Get up out of that wheelchair and walk again..."
This is outrageous beyond belief. I really hope I don't have to explain why.
Update: K-Lo beat me by 2 minutes. Grrr. Clearly she's feeling the power of John Kerry run through her.
Greasy trial lawyer.
He said it, I heard it with my own ears.
That's just sick...........far worse than anything the former panderer in chief, BJ Clinton, ever said.
"He said it, I heard it with my own ears."
As did I.
He said it. Krauthhammer mentioned it yesterday and said it was despicable.
I heard it this afternoon as well. Apparently Kerry will have magical powers if he gets elected.
Edwards: 'We will stop juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases... When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.' Edwards made the unprecedented campaign promises during 30-minute speech at Newton High School gym in Newton, Iowa...
Jimmy Swaggart Edwards.
Yup. Edwards said the same thing (virtually) yesterday and again today. Disgraceful to offer that kind of false hope to people.
just when you think the RATS couldnt possibly get any
slimier....it's sad to think there are actually some people
out there buyin these huckster's BS.
That is just too wild. Oh what a JOKE. I can't believe. I am flabberghasted
Benny Hinn for Surgeon General, Paul Crouch for Secretary of Health & Human Services!
I'm throwing a flag for Illegal Procedure. Unnecessary use of a modifier. 15 yards and loss of down.
The only question remains: are the American electorate actually stupid enough to be seduced into electing these traitorous nitwits? Or, for that matter, are they stupid enough to make the election close enough to be stolen by the votes of convicts, the dead, noncitizens, and Democrats voting multiple times? God help the country if they are.
That was a Great Poster of the Grifters!!! Hope I got the right person?? :)
He said "We will stop juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases." What`s he going to do, sue the diseases? I mean this is akin to a politician claiming "If you vote for me I will cure cancer" My God, is there no limit to where these two will go for a vote? Kerry even claiming at the last debate while looking in the camera "I will not raise taxes"..A liberal democrat saying he will not raise taxes? That`s about as believable as Michael Jackson saying he can be trusted as a cub scout leader.
If the American people don't see through this, we are in worse trouble than I thought.
Maybe Edwards was trying to make up for his honesty during the debates when he repeatedly stressed, "I don't have a long resume".
If John Kerry is elected, there will be no more diseases......because we'll all be a pile of ash when a terrorist gets a suitcase and gets his "nuisance" urge going.
I don't think this is a surprising statement by Edwards at all...
Dem's have already been raising the dead to vote.
If Edwards can really make Christopher Reeve get up and walk NOW...I'll vote for him!
Dead man walking . . .
Superman: "You will believe a man can fly"
Edwards: "You will believe a moron can speak"
We won't have to worry about his promise on "No new taxes" or this crap from Dennis the Menace because the people will not vote these two incompetent fools into office...
Michael Savage just played the clip of Edwards.
Savage says welcome to Lourdes Cathedral.
It really sucks how Kerry has used Chris Reeve as a political pawn for the sake of winning the election. I'm just waiting for old effin' to bring Reeve's name up now that he's died, to further try to play to people's sympathies. Lousy vulture.
We absolutely MUST keep the Texan in the White House.
Put your hands on the radio...
Wrong--wrong--wrong...
When John Kerry is president, people like SADDAM HUSSEIN are going to walk. We can't let that happen.
Krauthammer said it was the worst political demagoguery he's heard in 25 years. He's in a wheelchair and knows something about cures for debilitating problems.
I thought this was an interesting word so I looked it up for the exact definition.
demagoguery
n : impassioned appeals to the prejudices and emotions of the populace
Too bad Ray Charles had to die when he did. I'll bet he would have enjoyed new sight during a Kerry administration.
Well, praise John Almighty! (said with a smirk) I don't think the good Lord much likes folks usurping His position.
If Edwards can really make Christopher Reeve get up and walk NOW...I'll vote for him!
No foolin'. That was my take on it, too. Edwards is saying effin' can raise the dead.

Talk about your false hope. Talk about your sick rhetoric. Sheeeeesh.
Not only that, Steve McQueen could've made three or four more "escape" movies. Thanks W !
Michael Reagan was on Hannity this afternoon - he knows a lot about fetal stem cell research - he says the fetal cells that have been used have caused cancer -- Okay so Edwards will give the cells to people while VP and then when he leaves the Admin. he will sue the government for giving people stem cells without longer tests. you know that would happen.
Ron Reagan said on Chrissy's show tonight that he is sure that John Kerry will bring up the "phone call" from Reeves during the debate tomorrow. He said that the Republicans would probably ask him to prove there ever was a call.
Edwards is dreaming if he thinks Kerry will get elected
I'm the one, oh I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
The one they call the seventh son
Johnny Rivers
The Seventh Son
Stuff like that plays well in emotional malpractice cases. Unfortunately for Edwards, he hasn't learned how to act outside the courtroom. By the way, did you happen to catch Brit Hume tonight? He had on Sinclair, of that video about Kerry's background, including P.O.W. interviews where they said they were played Kerry tapes and told to sign false confessions of beating, maiming, and killing civilians, etc.. It was a great interview, by the way. Some RAT functionary on a little earlier actually threatened Sinclair if they showed the video on their stations...and if the RATs won, then they'd be very sorry. Clearly they were threatening to take away their FCC license to operate, etc.. Appalling.
If I recall correctly, Brit even made a sly reference to 'forged documents'...that Sinclair wasn't guilty of that.
Does this mean that anyone who isn't cured by President Kerry will be able to sue Edwards?
It's true -- now go pass that along to all your friends who are undecided voters.
Yep. I knew Edwards would lapse back into his snake oil salesman, um, I mean trial lawyer ways and he would say something really stupid. He might be able to convince a jury of drug addicts but he forgot that now he has a bigger audience and some of of us even have an I.Q. above 70. The next thing you know, Edwards will say, "George Bush killed Superman! Superman could have saved us from the terrorists but George W. Bush killed him! George Bush and the Republicans had Superman killed so they could rule the world and raise oil prices!"
Edwards said the same (or similar thing) twice in the past two days? I would call Edwards a nitwit, but the "wit" part of the word does not apply.
Heard it, too. He's a sleazy, lowlife, subhuman, liberal-demokkkRAT POS!
We are about to elect John 'Elmer Gantry' Kerry (or Edwards if the name suits you better) to be the leaders of this country???????
Lord help us......
