Silky Pony kicks on

The Most Disingenuous Man in America™ is turning up the volume and the left is loving it.
The enemy he sees is corporate America and corporate greed. His message seeks not to unite America but to finish what he describes as “an epic struggle” against forces that are, literally, killing America — destroying jobs, holding down wages, putting ordinary Americans out of work or denying them medical care.
Corporations don’t in any real sense actually exist. They are the legal vehicle enabling the interests of shareholders and employees to be aligned with customers, further enabling the delivery of products and services. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Big Oil is me. It’s you. It’s anybody with a mutual fund. It’s anybody that buys gas. To demonize a legal formulation is idiotic, even for a mental midget like John Edwards.
His language is over the top. He casts the challenges facing America in terms of morality and immorality. Speaking of tax policies that have encouraged companies to send jobs overseas, he says, “This is insanity — I mean complete insanity.”
The rich have an “iron-fisted grip” on democracy and won’t let go through negotiations. “Anybody who suggests that we don’t have an epic fight on our hands is living in Never-Never Land,” he says.
Isn’t Never-Never Land a giant ranch in North Carolina? Oh no, sorry. That’s Edwards’ house.
This guy would be a perfect nominee.
For the GOP.

I saw pretty boy Edwards on TV earlier today - talking about how he’s a special friend to the poor. All I could think about was that ridiculously huge mansion he built. He just a talk the talk guy.

You’re absolutely right, Mr. Edwards! Evil corporations are killing America! You know who else is killing America? How about those ambulance-chasing lawyers who win ridiculous settlements for their clients (and themselves), sucking the lifeblood out of the economy and forcing corporations to raise their prices and fire people? Why, some of those bloodsuckers get so rich off their filthy work that they actually run for public office! How ridiculous…
I’m sorry, Mr. Edwards - did I say something wrong?

Unfortunately, conspiracies and counter conspiracies permeate virtually every aspect of our daily and professional lives, subverting the democratic processes upon which the u.S. and other democracies are founded. In the U.S. there are two powerful clandestine elites-left wing and right wing- competing to dominate not only the U.S. but the whole world.
