AS, Re: As John Edwards says, they're rewarding passive wealth and punishing hard work. Perhaps my greatest disappointment about this election is that John Edwards hasn't caught fire with the voters. Edwards is a thinking man's candidate. His positions are nuanced, wise and well explained, but he doesn't have the fire-and-brimstone style of Howard Dean which has really helped Dean build momentum. The party activists have been hungry for a charismatic man like Dean who can fire up a crowd. And Dean has been an organizational genius, considering where he was last January and where he is today. It didn't happen by accident or due to luck. I'm favoring a Dean-Clark ticket. So you will be happy with at least the "warm bucket of spit" end of the ticket. It seems that Clark could be shown to be a better version of Dick Cheney. A man who has the experience, but lacks that paranoia and megalomania. Re: As John Edwards says, they're rewarding passive wealth and punishing hard work. And that is the problem. Ronald Reagan would have never leveled with the public about something like that. And the American public are just as Mencken desribed them..... To paraphrase, 'politicians are going to give the American public democracy, and they're going to give it 'em good and hard.'
