one of the things that most disturbs me about politics is the lack of genuineness on the part of the players involved on the national stage. it does not matter which party or which candidate, but the level of disingenuousness is irksome, at best. for example, you can’t be a conservative and think spending beyond one’s means is healthy. as a conservative, i think the republicans have squandered the last decade in this area and have given away the farm, so i’m not really talking about sides here in this post. but, when a candidate’s major mantra is about “two americas,” i can’t help but think of the striking insincerity of owning a 28,000 square foot home on 102 acres. it seems that john edwards has whole-heartedly embraced the notion reagan set forth when he said of the republicans, “We’re the party that wants to see an American in which people can still get rich.” welcome aboard, johnny boy.

Based on the pic, it doesn't appear that I'm in the same America as John...
So what, exactly, is he wanting me to vote for?
Good call, Eman. Way to do some helpful research...I hadn't heard this mantra, but still. Hey, Mike Huckabee might really change some things in the Republican party, though. I'd still vote Libertarian if they produced a candidate.
