And of course no one can say ONE DAMN WORD contrary to Mrs Edwards, or else they will be accused of trying to beat up a cancer victim.

The MSM/Left always manufactures these supposed “untouchables”.

The guy is probably a homosexual activist. Edwards is more Consevative than Giuliani.....so I don’t know why Elizabeth has her liberal panties in a bunch.

Monty Johnson, owner of the garage site and one of Edwards’ closest neighbors, is no Edwards fan. Johnson has left standing an abandoned house facing the entrance to the Edwards property.

Elizabeth Edwards said they purchased 102 acres — valued for tax purposes at $1.1 million — in 2003 after spotting it while searching the Internet.

*****

She (Elizabeth Edwards) said that there is nothing “grandiose” about the house

The main living section of the house is 10,778 square feet and has a tax value of $3.1 million, according to tax records. It has five bedrooms, 6 1/2 baths and a library. A second wing of the house is connected by a heated enclosed walkway, valued at $192,664, that is lined with family and political photographs.

The second wing, called “The Barn” by the family, has 6,336 square feet and includes a lounge and offices that are 70 percent complete. It has a current tax value of $567,403. It also has a basketball court, which is 60 percent complete and valued at $300,960; a racquetball court, 70 percent complete and valued at $41,000; and a pool, according to tax records.

******

Elizabeth Edwards said the gym fulfilled her husband’s dream of having his own basketball court to use when he wished.

The racquetball court, Elizabeth Edwards said, was a sort of “valentine” from her husband to help with her lifelong battles to control her weight.

I live in a rural area like the one described that is beginning to develop. Farmland is switching to 2 to 4 acre plots with McMansions slapped on them. The farmers have an absolute right to break up their farms when they retire, I don’t argue that. But one of the consequences of rapid development is that it changes the nature of the local zoning & supervisory boards. Prodded by the new, wealthy residents they are suddenly gung-ho to tell you what you can and can’t do on your property. This can come as quite a shock to long-time residents who are used to a more laissez-faire local government.

I’d be willing to bet that something done by or at the behest of the Edwards’ has really got their neighbor ticked.

Oh, and I wouldn’t put it past Elizabeth’s ilk to make the whole d*mn story up for political effect.

Quote from the story... I have to budget. I have to leave within my means

Evidently, Mike Baker or Myrtle Beach Online, don't have the means to hire a proofreader.

As far as the story goes... LOL !

I'm glad this guy is giving them the finger. Too bad he's planning on moving away. I just hope he stays until after the election.

Maybe Speaker Pelosi can take a message of peace to Mr. Johnson on behalf of Mrs. Edwards.

"I wouldn't be nice to him anyway," Edwards said in an interview. "I don't want my kids anywhere near some guy who when he doesn't like somebody, the first thing he does is pull a gun out. It scares the business out of me."

She sounds retarded.

What a jerk.
Well, don’t worry, Elizabeth, you won’t have to be afraid of him for long.

:-P.

She’s been reading too many of her socialist husbands’ speeches. Edwards is the Class-Warfare warrior. Somewhere Karl Marx is smiling.

Wait until you meet Ahmadinejad, my dear.

The people who think they are qualified to sit in the White House leading the American people...

Well, I patrol my acreage on my 4-wheeler, with a Mini-14 prominently displayed on the rack at the rear.

My 1911 is in my holster on my side.

My 12 gauge hog gun (sawed-off (legally) with 3-inch mag slugs) is slung on the gas tank. In the cross-tank bags is a Ruger .44, just in case the hog is particularly mean.

And if I wing him down and need to finish him off, I can do it with the Colt Woodsman .22 in the other bag and save the price of a slug or a .44 or .45 round.

I won't even try to cover the knives I have on me, but since Miss Priss didn't have a hissing fit about them, I suppose they'd be acceptable.

I check the boundaries of my acreage at least once daily, usually twice, occasionally more and usually see several of my neighbors, who are doing the same thing.

I bet Miss Elizabeth would probably pee herself if she met me on the perimeter or saw me at the mail box and I don't particularly care, since her (or anyone's) approval or disapproval of me is of absolutely no consequence to me.

But, I don't got no Rooty-tooty picture posters on my fence, 'cause I'm a conservative and I ain't found none of Fred Thompson to display, yet.

So-called "genteel" southern ladies are a pain in the ass and she fits the billing.

I'm betting my wife would only have to look at her hard and she'd pull up her skirts and run like a spooked quail.

All that money and a big-time lawyer/presidential aspirant/fancy boy for a husband and she still ain't got squat.

Pitiful.

She would have a very tough time being a First Lady. At social functions she is expected to be diplomatic and chat with people she might well dislikes. And she will meet far scarier people than this guy. What if they take a trip to Russia to meet with Putin & wife? Or to North Korea?

She is way to sheltered, too easily intimidated, and too quick to condemn somebody to function on the Washington scene.

This said, I do wish her a full recovery and good health.

Something about Ms. Elizabeth’s snooty remarks, against the rabid,rabid, gun totin’ Republican neighbor, made me remember Rosie O’Dumbell’s anti-gun tirades, and the fact that she was caught packin’ heat and exposed for the hate-filled hypocrite she is.... Reckon the Edwards’ ever have any gun-totin’ bodyguards travellin’ with them?

And this would be the RATS choice for a First Lady? Sad, truly sad. I have numerous guns and would not hesitate to pull it out to protect my family and hers if necessary. It is a perfect example of liberal values. I suppose her security guards are armed with ???? feathers?
