I find it hard to believe that anyone could like John Edwards. I find him to be as repulsive as Hillary, Huckabee, Romeny, etc. His anti-corporate rhetoric laughable given that I find him, and his trial lawyer bretheren, to be at least as offensive as the evil corporations they think they are protecting people from.
See this point on onegoodmove.org.
This is my response:
Edwards is just as evil as the corporations that he shook down as a class action plaintiff’s attorney and which made him a millionaire many times over and paid for a Senate seat. Corporations are generally too stupid and disorganized to be truly evil. However, plaintiff’s attorneys (and lawyers of all shapes and sizes, actually) are institutionally evil and far more dangerous to our democracy because they have been given a franchise by the government to “practice law” (read: practice economic terrorism) on our society, extracting a massive, hidden tax on in exchange for very little, if any, added value. Corporations have too much concentrated economic power for sure but they are not nearly as evil as the biggest, most evil corporation in the world (the U.S. Federal Government) and it’s franchisees (John Edwards and his trial attorneys). Edwards is just an opportunistic overpaid CEO of a different and more disturbing nature which makes his class warfare rhetoric disgustingly hypocritical.
