Hey, after his impassioned preacher speach about Kerry raising people out of wheelchairs did Edwards take up a collection ?

I know a guy who back in December '92 said the economy was turning around just because Clinton was elected president. Of course, he denies ever making that statement.

I am so confused.

Kerry went to church this weekend with Rev. Sharpton and Rev. Jackson and spoke politics.

John Edwards preaches healing in a political forum.

I am so confused.

They do that every election. LOL

I keep hearing that cheap pounding music that the films play when a con man rouses the people!

Brother Edwards is preachin' the Dem Gospel. Only the Government can be our Savior, and if Kerry is elected we'll be only a breath away from reaching the Promise Land!

Testify Brothers and Sisters!! Healin' is at Hand!

Edwards Stem Cell Vision:...

What Edwards is not talking about is:

They're going to need a lot of stem cells to heal all those people, and adult stem cells aren't what Edwards is talking about.

That means more abortions, more souls murdered in the womb, to feed the labs and doctors who work with stem cells.

Socialism at work in our brave new world.

Let me tell y'all somethin' you probably don't know. And I say this from the bottom of my heart. We will do for you. Things. You Can't. Imagine.

When John Kerry is elected President, you will never lose your car keys again. Forget about looking for that remote you left under the pillow on your couch. And you can forget about those annoying "wrong number" calls you get from time to time. This Administration doesn't care about you but we do, and help is on the way.

When John Kerry is elected President, you'll never get that itch, way down low on your ankle that's tough to reach because you been working on your feet for 18 hours for 24 cents in the worst economy since Jesus wept. And when John Kerry is elected, never again will you scratch that itch on your ankle, only to have it magically transport itsel' to your lower back where you cain't reach it -- ya'll know what ahm talkin' about, doncha? This Administration don't care about your itches but we do, and help is on the way.

When John Kerry is elected President DALE EARHARDT WILL BE ALIVE. How's that for progress, eh? We can do that, you know . . . because help is on the way.

When John Kerry is elected President, you'll never, ever have to wait for an elevator. We have a plan to make sure that elevators are plentiful, and available to all people. And never again will you be caught in the rain without an umbrella. Because umbrellas ain't the answer, are they? No. They just want you to buy those umbrellas to line the pockets of their friends in high fallutin' places. No. Under a Kerry Administration, it will never rain again. Except where we need it to and only when we want it to. Oh, and help is on the way.

When John Kerry is elected President, Old Yeller will survive. So will Thelma and Louise, you know. And that cute Ewok that got killed in "Return of the Jedi" . . . there ain't no need for him to die. When John Kerry is elected President, Anne Frank is gonna be alive. No, not just Patty duke, ya'll. The real one. John Kerry can do that because help is on the way.

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.

When John Kerry is elected President there won't be no hurricanes and there ain't gonna be no Mount St. Helens, or whatever. Earthquakes? No problem. Tornadoes? No problem. Armageddon? No problem! We have a plan, ya'll -- help is on the way.

You got cancer? We can cure it. You a cripple? Easy Peasy. You deaf? Blind? Retarded? Please -- we have a plan. Never again will you suffer from agita, or gout, or anything else.

WE HAVE A PLAN AND HELP IS ON THE WAY.

Did you forget? He's a malpractice trial lawyer.

His comment was just a carrer move for this opportunist. He's covering all his bases. When Kerry loses he'll be all set up for more injured clients.

OK, here's where I vent......again.


I suffered an SCI in-service. Not nearly as bad as Christopher Reeves, but bad enough My level of injury is T-8 with further injury at L-1. Reeves, I understand is C-3 or 4---really,really bad.

I use a wheelchair, but can 'drag' myself with bilateral (bothe legs) KAFO's that reach to my crotch (they weigh a total of 34 lbs- I weigh 124 soaking wet) To add further insult, I had received blood during surg that was, shall we say, 'tainted'. I'll leave you to guess what I got from that lil transfusion. THAT problem is now causing "cervical myelopathy" which means I've losing motor function in my hands as well----not so good.

I rarely complain---whats the use of it? I have good days and bad. Another freeper here was a former co-worker and can tell you the hell I went through at times trying to work (I no longer can) But enough of my tale of woe...


John Edwards tells the public (and people like me!) that WE SHALL BE CURED if we would please vote for them on 2 NOV. Good God Almighty, can this cretin sink ANY lower?

Please accept my apologies. fellow freepers, for my anger. I have done my best to 'keep on movin' and keep the complaining to as little as possible. No doubt all of you have enough problems without having to hear mine---I just needed to get this of my chest.

My disgust with the Libs has NO bounds. They are absolutely bereft of decency.

Pat

Gee and here I thought the Dem's were against the evangelical religious right.

Maybe we should all go to a Kerry/Edwards meeting and yell, Amen! after each of their statements. I'll bet they would ask us to leave.
