Darn That Edwards, Why Doesn’t He Act Like a Good Millionaire?
Jump to Comments
Tipped off to this by Talking Points Memo, the blog that this humble spot on the internet hopes to be someday.
Check this out:
This might be an innocent observation by the MSNBC folks, you know, hey, look, a rich guy that gives a damn. My worry is that this is once again the Republican spin from 2004: Edwards is a hypocrite for talking about working people while he himself is wealthy. The Republicans can say this because they are against the elites and no millionaire in America is a registered member of the Republican party, right?
I’ll forget this whole thing if the next time they show the President “clearing brush” on his ranch they put up something like “Wealthy Connecticut Born Yale and Harvard Alum Just a Regular Guy and Texas Cowboy.”

They can rail against a rich Democrat running all they want (not that it hurt Franklin Roosevelt or the Kennedys to be rich– some people would say its refreshing to see a rich guy willing to tax himself). Let’s say for the sake or argument that he gets the nomination and ends up running against John McCain (also a multi-millionaire.)
Edwards: earned his money.
McCain: married his money.
Let the Republicans say whatever they want in that case.
