John Edwards seemed to cherish the “Two Americas” idea in the run-up to the 2004 presidential election, where he and John Kerry eventually lost to current president George Bush. Strangely enough, the two Americas campaign buzzword managed to hit the nail squarely on the head.
Unfortunately, two Americas do exist in this country. One of those Americas supports the government while the other receives from the government. People from one America work for a living, pay taxes and serve as productive members of our society, and people from the other America enjoy the rewards of under achievement and the entitlement culture our federal government has so aptly built.
In a speech in 2003, Edwards so eloquently described the two Americas as, “One America that does the work, another America that reaps the reward. One America that pays the taxes, another America that gets the tax breaks. One America that will do anything to leave its children a better life, another America that never has to do a thing because its children are already set for life.” Indeed that is correct, John, precisely because of the insanely complex tax structure and entitlement class built by politicians such as yourself.

One America that does the work, another America that reaps the reward. They’re known as Democrats and their constituents, mainly poor and uneducated,who depend on the kindness of strangers,and the constant yammering of their protectors,like Edwards,who regularly engage in economic and legal blood-letting to serve their own selfish interests and thirst for power.
But, I digress....
I think they went away in the 60’s. I have not seen a one since then.
Unless you count the occasional Zell Miller sighting on Fox News.
Hey, nobody’s perfect!
LOL
He (JFK) also had another mistress that was an East German spy.
True story. I was in a restaurant with friends when the waitress complimented my hair....she added it looked just like hillary clinton’s........at that point you could hear a feather drop......the whole table stopped dead to see me react to THAT “compliment”. I looked her straight in the eye and after counting to ten, I said that I despised mrs clinton with every bone in my body......and that was the worst insult I had ever been given. The waitress backed off with apologies. LOL....she never mentioned the beast again.
I don't think my wife could have counted to ten. She may have taken her plate and made the waitress wear the food in her hair.
I forgot about him. The voice crying out in the wilderness.
