Edwards has been flogging his themes to credulous people pushing the envy and outrage button over and over. But where is the beef? How about some concrete examples? How about Edward's own personal greed? Is only "corporate" greed the issue? and where exactly are these shocking examples of corporate greed? Enron? Yawn, ancient history. Edwards is a trial lawyer doing his schtick which is basically to stir up feelings of agrievement in people, nothing more. It's dismal stuff.

oleeb: What, specifically, has Edwards proposed to do about corporate greed or corporate interests? And equally relevant, what has he ever actually done about it?

For starters, he's the only one even talking about it. I'd say that is a pretty good indication of where his priorities are vs the others who not only are not even talking about it, but who aren't interested in it because they are owned by corporate interests. Edwards isn't. Similarly, he's the only one talking about doing anything to help the poor. That's a pretty good indication of his priorities and the others shun any discussion at all of the poor. I'm sick of the DINO's who dominate DC and all those elected officials who dance to their tune. Edwards doesn't.

Oleeb:

Yes, as you say, Edwards is "talking" about the problem of corporate greed and corporate interests. The question remains, which you do not attempt to answer, is what specific proposals has he made to address this problem and what has he ever actually done about it? I don't doubt the sincerity of Edwards's belief that corporate greed/interests is a significant issue that needs to be addressed. But in the absence of any past actions on his part to substantively address the problem, or even specific campaign policy proposals, it strikes me as pandering populist rhetoric. I like Edwards and am open to his candidacy, but I don't think he's backed up his rhetoric with anything substantive in terms of his policy proposals or record.
