Think about how Mr Edwards "earned" his $ 50 Million fortune. No, he did absolutely nothing illegal, but what he did do was make his fortune, as a trial lawyer, based on an unsubstantiated medical claim. In fact, it was later proven to scientifically false. Of course, this won awards for his clients, and I'm sure they were very satisfied with his services, but it came a the cost of good doctors reputations, etc. I'm also sure that it contributed to the rising cost of malpractice insurance. Now, to the best of my knowledge, Mr.Edwards has made no attempt to return any of the money that he received for his services to any of these doctors who were wrongly sued (after it was determined to have been scientifically false).
But why does this make him morally deficient to be President? Can we afford to grant someone with such authority who is willing to charge forward without sufficient evidence or proof on a decision that could have grave consequences? I think not.

No, morally bankrupt is more like it.

Yes, you are correct.
Edwards, the "Breck Girl", is nothing but a shyster lawyer. An ambulance chaser.
He made millions.
It wasn't free, because everyone of us will be paying for him the rest of our lives.

He ran with John Kerry. That tells you all you need to know. He wants to raise taxes.

John Edwards and those like him are the reason we are having the soaring medical costs we have today. How can he recommend to fix a system when it was him and those like him that have created he problem?

If you substitute any Republican Candidates Name for John Edwards Name, the answer is YES!

I think his background makes for a typical politician. No worse than someone wagging his finger at you and denying the "lewinski" that he just had.

Why not? Both Clinton and Bush became President.

Why not?
Don't we have a person like this in the White House now/?

Nothing like an unbiased and persuasive assesment of a political candidate. Let me guess, you don't like Edwards.

John Edwards has a stellar reputation,, compared to George W. Bush,,, hands down.... moral deficiency would include,, lying to the American people to start a war,,, wouldn't it,,, ..... or just lying to a jury to win a legal argument,,,,, and making doctors more accountable,,,,,
judges were fired,, based on lies, as well,,,,,,,,
