Excerpt:
John Edwards makes an excellent point in a speech today in New Hampshire.
Edwards is strongly going after the vote of Democratic wing of the Democratic party by calling out the DLC candidates in the race and connecting the influence of money to the Clinton White House.
From Marc Ambinder …
The choice for our party could not be more clear. We cannot replace a group of corporate Republicans with a group of corporate Democrats, just swapping the Washington insiders of one party for the Washington insiders of the other.The American people deserve to know that their Presidency is not for sale, the Lincoln Bedroom is not for rent, and lobbyist money can no longer influence policy in the House or the Senate.
It’s time to end the game. It’s time to tell the big corporations and the lobbyists who have been running things for too long that their time is over. It’s time to challenge politicians to put the American people’s interests ahead of their own calculated political interests, to look the lobbyists in the eye and just say no.
Corporate Republicans or Corporate Democrats? It still means it is a government that supports policies that favor corporate interests over the interests of common Americans.
