I agree with that 100%. He should get the the best seats he can buy.
Doesn't mean he's not a hypocritical SOB with his "Two Americas" theme though.
TWO AMERICAS: Those who buy into John Edward’s BS and those who don’t.
I also agree that if someone is rich and can afford a luxurious life, it doesn’t bother me at all. That is, it doesn’t bother me in and of itself.
But it bothers me greatly when some candidate with millions in the bank runs around whining about how the traditional American system doesn’t work. That it has created “two Americas” where one group is rich and the other poor. Blah, blah, blah.
It bothers me even more when the candidate tries to pretend he’s an average guy by mentioning that his father was a mill worker at every campaign stop. He tells that story over and over about the time his family went to a restaurant, and after seeing the high prices on the menu, quietly got up and left because they couldn’t afford to eat there. Yet Edwards is now a multi-millionaire. If the “system” won’t allow upward mobility, how did that happen?
And it bothers me still more when the candidate in question gets $400 haircuts, lives in a lavish mansion worth millions, charges ridiculous sums for giving speeches at colleges (I believe he demanded $55,000), and sits in expensive VIP boxes at sporting events.
The response of the Democrat spokesman to Edwards’ critics is typical. Yes, he spent a fortune on special seating so he wouldn’t have to sit with the common folk, but he had a hot dog, the type of food commoners enjoy, so he really is just an average guy.
I really don’t know which type of rich Democrat is worse. There’s the Edwards kind who lives like a king and pretends to be a commoner. Then there’s the John Kerry kind who lives like a king and can’t bring himself to even pretend to be anything other than royalty due to his arrogance. Remember Kerry’s campaign stop at a Wendy’s where he clearly didn’t recognize the menu items since he’d never been in one before?
It’s a plague on both louses!
“He should get the the best seats he can buy.”
Providing he bought the seats.
Follow the money.
Exactly my point. If I had the coin to indulge like that I’d probably do it also. And if that happened to highlight any hypocrisy or inconsistencies in my political positions...well...poor for me...lol
