Assessing John Edwards' chances for the 2008 Democratic primaries

by dlmetz

There is no Democrat candidate that is anything like John F. Kennedy.

For one J.F.K. cut taxes and all of the Democrats want to raise them. Kennedy cut taxes from about 70% down to less that 50%. He drugged the other Democrats kicking and screaming to the tax cuts (Teddy was against cutting taxes then too.) John Edwards along with the rest of the Democrat Party only wants to raise taxes on everyone that has a job or is trying to run a business and the do not all ready have money. They say that they want to raise taxes on the rich only; but they raise them on everyone that has a job. They want to steal the money that one earns and give it to those that don't want to get out there to earn their own. Now Hillary Clinton, Brock O'Bamma, John Edwards, is out there trying to buy everyones vote to get elected president. They are using the taxpayers own money to buy the votes. They can't even use their own money.

He was also not afraid to go to war and let his Generals and Admirals handle the war. He proved this with the go around with Russia and the Bay of Pigs. When Russia was wanting to build nuke bases in Cuba with the help of Castro. During that time we came close to going to war against Cuba and Russia. The last two Democrat Presidents that we had ran for the hills each time the challenge came. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton both ran. Hillary, O'Bamma, and Edwards all said they they would run away from any challenge.

When any one of the Democrats say that are like President J.F.K. they are lying. They would never be like J.F.K. because they only are out for themselves not for the country or for the little guy. Look after taxes are get cut there end up getting more money put into the treasury than they did prior. Because each time there is a taxes are more people gets a job. and each time taxes are raised less money goes into the treasury. Not only that there are some people even go into their own business. So how does any of the Democrats compare to J.F.K.?

Not only that J.F.K. even challenged use to go to the moon by the end of the decade. We got there in 1969. Now they say it is to dangerous to go back to the moon or even on out to Mars.
