A lot of people might think I am crazy but I am a huge supporter of John Edwards. If people would just listen to the way he speaks and what he speaks about I believe that any "Democrat", would like to see a person like him in office.

Universal Healthcare? John Edwards not only believes in that strongly he was the very first candidate to come out with a specific plan to funding it ( including cutting the billion dollar tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans that Bush imposed ). He also says, promises and explains how that is Congress refuses to pass his Universal health care bill that 1 year after he is in office all of Congress will lose their government sponsored health care. In case you were wondering, yes he can do that.

Education? He was also the first cadidate to come out with a detailed Education plan. The plan is titles college for everyone. It basically states that anyone can receive Tuition and books free of charge from the Governement if you qualify for that college and you also work up to 10 hours a week at a job of your choosing. John Edwards believes strongly in working hard in order to become a better person. He grew up in Robbins, North Carolina which is basically like a 1 way street town with dirt roads and become what he is now.

The War? He believes that all combat troops should be completely removed within the first year of his administration. He also believes STRONGLY that the all nuclear weapons should be gotten rid of. You can look more into his explanations of this on google. He voted for the way in the beginning..he will be the first to say that. However, one of the things that stands out about him is that he ADMITS to his mistakes. He has said time and time again he was just plain wrong for doing that. Have you EVER heard Bush say he was wrong? Have you really ever heard any politician say they were wrong?

The Internet? John Edwards is probably one of the biggest supporters of Net Neutrality running right now. He has not only advocated that, he has even wrote articles about that on sites like "The Huffington Post". His comparison is calling the Internet like a highway. Basically saying that we do not restrict certain highways to company sponsored transportation. So, certain parts of the Internet should damn sure not be restricted. He is a huge advocate of the Fair Use policy. He also believes that the people should be educated on the fair use policy so they do know that unless they actually have purchased the program/music it is illegal to download it from another source and that there are punishments for that. I don't know how much more you can ask from a candidate.

Anyway, sorry for turning this discussion into sort of an ad but I can honestly answer both questions you asked from just speaking about John Edwards. To the Ron Paul supporters: Ron Paul seems like an OK candidate but do not vote for him just because you like to go with the "Internet crowd". He believes in leaving pretty much EVERYTHING up to the states. My question to him is what will his decisions be when he actually has to use his brain instead of leaving everything up to the states? What about the things that states cannot decide. I have heard him enough talking about what he will leave up to the states..what will he do with the things that cannot be left up the states. Maybe you should ask that too.
