NEW MISSION - JOHN EDWARDS TO TAKE CHENEY DOWN
We have stated this several times in the last week, but wanted to make sure everyone knew this. About two weeks ago the K-E campaign specifically told John Edwards that his job was to take Dick Cheney down and use all resources to do so.

So Edwards et.al. has been working towards that effort, with lots of fact digging, private investigation of Cheney, etc. A lot of people do not know Edwards very well, but he is a very powerful individual with tons of connections around the Country. Plus he and the Dems strongest money base is Trial lawyers, which can obviously be helpful.

I didn't know Edwards very well, until of late, but am now extremely impressed. It's rare to have such a strong Vice Presidential candidate and John Kerry is very lucky to have Edwards on board.

Obviously, Cheney's comments today played right into Kerry-Edwards hands. Gosh, what a complete idiot! –NKR

P.S. All this BS Bush-Cheney-GOP is slinging re lawsuit reform, limiting people’s legal rights, and the economic problems being due to lawsuit abuse, is shear stupidity and NOT want the general voting public wants or believes. No polls support it, only Bush-Cheney’s corporate buddies!

2. Edwards needs to rephrase what Cheney said into...
"Vote for us or you're all going to die." Obviously Cheney thought he could be replaced on the battlefield of Vietnam so I don't see what makes him so irreplaceable now.

3. Hmm...Bush HAS been complaining about too many lawsuits lately
Edited on Tue Sep-07-04 07:51 PM by rocknation
He says they're the reason why OB/GYNs can "practice their love" on their paitents, and that it gets in the way of creating new jobs. And today, it's announced that Halliburton may have to re-bid their contracts. Coincidence? Not with this bunch!

4. No polls support it, only Bush-Cheney’s corporate buddies
That is their base...
Too bad they don't actually control more than a couple of districts.

8. Thanks, glad DU lets a few Republicans "For The Cause" hang around here.
The lines between many Republicans and Democrats have become so muted anyway over the years. Liberal Republicans, Conservative Democrats what's the difference.

7. I hope Edwards challenges Cheney in the debates to name the names
of the Energy group. It could be entertaining.

10. I live in NC and am familiar with Edwards - he was/is an awesome
attorney. As for the all this malpractice lawsuit crap just check out the GAO report on it. Also here is a great article from 2003:
