WWJD (What Would John Do?)

John Edwards is an ambulance chaser who made millions of dollars by filing lawsuits that were excessive and based on junk science. This is a man who claimed that dead children spoke to him from the grave and told him what they were feeling. I am not sure which is worse, this carnival act or the idiots on the jury who believed it. Since John can hear the dead it should come as no surprise that Edwards is now telling us what Jesus would think and how he would feel.

Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards says Jesus would be appalled at how the United States has ignored the plight of the suffering, and that he believes children should have private time to pray at school.

“I think that Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring the plight of those around us who are suffering and our focus on our own selfish short-term needs,” Edwards told the site. “I think he would be appalled, actually.” Breitbart

John Edwards is hitting on some serious stuff here about greed and war so let us see WWJD. This past Christmas Edwards, who has been bashing Wal Mart, had a staffer attempt to get one of the new video games (I think it was Play Station 3) ahead of others. Each Wal Mart had a small number to sell and most had a contest or a first come first served policy in order to get one. People stood in line all night and others were hurt trying to win contests in order to be able to buy one. Edwards had his staffer call and see if Wal Mart could hold one for the former Senator. Edwards used his greed to try and go ahead of others in a store chain that he has publicly railed against. He then said it was all a misunderstanding, which is what the left always says when they get caught.

John Edwards has milked millions of dollars from insurance companies and businesses in order to fatten his wallet. John Edwards has the biggest house in his county and it cost millions of dollars. In addition to all this “greed” Edwards voted for the war resolution when he was a Senator but of course now says he made a mistake. I guess that Jesus would only be upset with wars if we did not say we were sorry like John did. Of course, I have no way of knowing because the only things I can speak for Jesus are what he said in the Bible. I can not just tell you what else he is thinking like John Edwards can. The power to speak for Jesus must come to you when you are a charlatan lawyer who can hear dead kids talk.

John Edwards is probably a decent father and husband and I can not fault him for making real good money to take care of his family. I never fault anyone for making a living (an honest one) whether it is a minimum wage job or high priced lawyer. What I do object to is someone urinating in my face and telling me it is raining. Like Al Gore, Edwards talks the talk but he does not walk the walk and that might be because he really does not understand that he is in that America (of his two Americas theme) that involves a bunch of rich people. I think he actually does not know he is nowhere near like the rest of us in the other America (though I feel I am somewhere in between).

Edwards would do well to drop the act of pandering to poor people, anti-war zealots, and Christians and just run on what he really is. Oh wait, Democrats lose when they act like who they really are.

When Edwards tells us what Jesus would do he is pandering for votes because we already know what John would do.
