LIE OF THE WEEK: 07-27-2007
Former Senator John Edwards on "taking on special interests":
"It's time to restore fairness to a tax code that has been driven completely out of whack by the lobbyists in Washington, by the powerful interests in Washington and by those who value the few above the interests of many."
THE TRUTH: John Edwards started out poor and got rich as a trial lawyer by unfairly milking society's institutions for every insignificant grievance. He and those of ilk are the problem in America today. They are the lawyers and lobbyists who undeservedly influence all of Washington. They are the lawyers who sue everyone to reap huge amounts and benefit the few while the rest of America pays more to cover the costs of dealing with these cases and insure against them. To now claim that he is against special interests when those of his kind are the root cause of the problem proves that he is a hypocrite running on nothing but empty words.
