“My Man”
Archive for December 30th, 2007 Sunday, December 30thA Step In The Right DirectionTake that, Hillary! But, what my view is that anybody who has been lobbying on behalf of big corporations are a part of the problem. Because corporate greed is what is at the heart and the soul of what’s stealing the future of our children and what’s killing the middle class of this country.
-John Edwards
Edwards isn’t promising to ban just big corporation lobbyists. He’s going after all of those who lobby for foreign governments also. This is a man I can seriously get behind. You go, John! Patriots Flawless SeasonOk, my least favorite team……but I’ll suck it up and give them their congrats. Ugh…… From the Washington Post: Maybe it’s enough to say that it was an honest effort. At the close of a year of disheartening sports scandals, the New York Giants and the New England Patriots gave us all a gift: they refused to tank. With nothing at stake except a record, a piece of history, and some personal honor, they played to win. The result wasn’t just history, it was a beauty.
After months of investigations, corruptions, fallen idols and dirty referees, it was difficult to trust even the score of a tennis match. You could be pardoned if you had somewhat jaundiced, sour expectations for this season-ending game between the Patriots and the Giants. It need not have amounted to much: both teams had clinched NFL playoff spots, and had every excuse to rest their starters and to cheat the audience. Instead, the starters actually started — and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and the Giants’ Eli Manning were still dueling at the bitter finish of the game. A crowd of 79,110 rose to its feet when Manning struck Plaxico Burress with a 52-yard pass on just the second play from scrimmage, signaling that the Giants meant business. The crowd was still on its feet late in the fourth quarter of this electrifying contest, as Brady rallied the Patriots from 12 points down, their biggest deficit of the season, to pull out a 38-35 victory. Edwards Surging in IowaGO JOHN GO! From McClatchy: John Edwards has clawed his way into contention to win Iowa’s caucuses on Thursday in the first vote for the Democratic presidential nomination, gaining strength even as rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have lost ground, according to a new McClatchy-MSNBC poll. At the same time, Mitt Romney has regained the lead among Iowa Republicans as Mike Huckabee has lost momentum and support, even among the evangelical Christians who had propelled him into the top spot just weeks ago. Taken together, this first poll in Iowa since campaigning resumed after a Christmas break showed a dead-heat contest between the three leading Democratic candidates and a volatile clash between the two top Republican rivals here. Among Democrats: Former Sen. Edwards of North Carolina has the support of 24 percent; Sen. Clinton of New York has 23 percent; Sen. Obama of Illinois has 22 percent; Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico has 12 percent; Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware has 8 percent; Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut has 2 percent; Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio has 1 percent. Undecided: 8 percent.
