Edwards plan to eliminate poor

John Edwards plan to eliminate poverty pretty much has to do with eliminating capitalism and creating more government programs to "help" people.

Millionaire Edwards understands the poor

Presidential candidate John Edwards is beginning a trek across the USA visiting cities that have a lot of poor people. It is his intention to bring attention to America's poor by traveling around and talking about it.

Now while I think that what he is doing is somewhat noble, I also realize he is hoping that it is also a shrewd political move. That along with the fact that he made millions of dollars as a trial lawyer sort of makes what he is doing slightly disingenuous.

Money is the root of all...elections

It seems as though the media and the candidates care more about how much money the candidates are raising rather than what the candidates are saying. This is nothing new, but it is starting to get tiresome.

It is my humble opinion that the election season(s) are way too long (it no longer encompasses one season, but many). This election season(s) started so long ago that people are already tired of all of the candidates. I know I am. That's why I think that it is a great idea on Fred Thompson's part to hold out as long as he can before he officially joins the race. It is the current lack of media coverage that I think will eventually help him in the long run.

I am a big proponent of election reform and term limits because I believe that government has itself become its own entity rather than being an extension of the people. At this point the government exists for its own purpose rather than the purpose of the people.
