Edwards Makes A Killing Talking About Poverty

red states rule said:
This month, Mr. Edwards revealed that he had holdings worth more than $11 million in Fortress Investment Group, a $30 billion hedge-fund operator that paid Mr. Edwards $479,000 as a part-time consultant from October 2005 through December 2006. Fortress incorporated its hedge funds in the Cayman Islands as offshore tax havens, a policy that Mr. Edwards has condemned for years. Fortress has also invested billions and billions of dollars purchasing subprime mortgage portfolios, subprime mortgage lenders and subprime mortgage-servicing firms.
Meanwhile, in a story titled "John Edwards' Convenient Nonprofit," Business Week reports that Mr. Edwards conveniently hired staffers who previously worked as his political operatives and would return to his current presidential campaign in that capacity. As Mr. Edwards was raking in nearly half a million dollars as a consultant for the offshore hedge funds deeply invested in subprime mortgages, his anti-poverty center was also doling out hundreds of thousands of dollars to consultants. In 2005 alone, the center spent $259,000 on consultants whom Mr. Edwards now refuses to name. Hypocrisy knows no boundaries.

What oil holdings do they have? How does it compare to Al Gore?

Isn't this the same argument that both sides have used repeatedly? "My side" is accused of something so let me show you where "your side" is accused of something?

How about we compare them to Mitt Romney?

Do you believe, as rsr obviously does, that it is bad to be rich? why?

so what? you complain about Edwards being rich but don't care about bush and cheney being rich... that's a tad hypocritical.

Which dems... got a link?

so what? are you jealous of his millions? sure sounds like it... if you went to school and got an education instead of banging away on your keyboard all day every day, maybe you too could be rich...

Right... And Gore is going to keep Medicaire in a walk-in closet... :rolleyes:

Seriously, you take a place where they were literally making jokes about themselves, including Gore keeping lettuce in the crisper along with his walk-in closet allusion, and take it all seriously.

You're going to fit right in here with the "pretend it's all literal" crowd.
 
Okay....
