   I wonder what Mrs. Edwards thinks about her former neighbor now that he’s a millionaire after selling out his property?

   I think it is a perfect analogy … just like Seabiscuit the Silky Pony runs around in circles going no where and is full of Horses**t …

   Did Elizabeth Edwards treat us to a Freudian slip up here???

   “Seabiscuit was the horse of the working class, you know, owned by a bicycle repairman, and ridden by someone who wasn’t supposed to be able to make it,” she said in Nashua. “But that’s what this campaign is about, isn’t it? The dog who wasn’t supposed to be able to make it.”

   I don’t get this guy, first he claims he is a son of a mill worker. Here where I live that would be a great middleclass job whereas so many jobs here are seasonal. Secondly He does not live like the middleclass but lives like the super rich. If he was really for the downtrodden he would open his huge mansion up to house the homeless. What a fraud and that goes for pony’s spouse too.

   There’s that word again: change. We had better get “Ready for Change” because if any of the Democrats get elected, that’s all we’ll have left after they take everything else for taxes.

    Well? Which is it? A horse or a dog? Jees…might want to see the movie.

    The democrats keep saying they are for change. What kind of change? Do they want to replace the government with a communistic type? Russia did that in 1917 and a year later it changed again to a commmunistic system. Is change always good? I wish the demos would be more specific on what type of change they are talking about.

    Well Edwards is the Pony so technically he is closer to Seabiscuit than Hucklebee.

    There’s no way Shrillary can let this stand. Tomorrow she’ll come out and say “I’m Spiderman.” It’s a Tobey MaGuire film fest.
    Yeah, I don’t have campaign fatigue.

    I don’t begrudge anybody being rich. But, I keep asking myself: Why does he have to have a 20,000 sq. ft. house? Couldn’t he settle for a nice 10,000 sq. ft. house and give half of the gazillion dollars he made to the clients he used represented while robbing suing the big corporations?

    He keeps calling for “change” and people cheer. His idea of change is, “I’m going to take away your liberty and rights, and let me and the dems run your lives. Womb to tomb coverage. We’ll throw away that useless parchment, the Constitution, and we’ll decide what is good and not good, for you. Workers unite.” Stalin would smile and I would respect Edwards for being the rare honest politician.

    In helping to clear up the debate whether Seabiscuit was a horse or a dog with really long legs and a deformed head, I offer the following.

    I have some video clips on my site where the theme is calm music underscoring action scenes. Remember the soft Enya tunes in the first ‘Lord of the Rings’ during the chase scenes and fight scenes? In this clip of a horse race, where normally Hollywood would be throwing some loud, exciting music track at us, instead we have some soft humming and an acoustic guitar.

    This doesn’t necessarily prove he wasn’t a dog (for that, we’d probably need DNA samples), but at least now we have a visual to work with.

    Mr. Edwards reminds me of “Mr. Ed” except that Mr. Ed actually was kind of a nice horse!
    Mr. Edwards proclaims himself a kid who rose up from dirt poor poverty to make it in America. He says he is devoted to the poor and downtrodden. Yet nobody in the MSM bothers to ask Mr. Edwards how his populist rhetoric squares with his recent work for The Fortress Group, which is a hedge fund. Mr. Edwards was paid close to $500,000 for something like six months of part-time “work”. What did he actually do for the money? He has no background in trading stocks or bonds or currency. He has no background in valuing companies and deciding whether to buy them. Apparently he was paid for either access, in case he won, or was paid so that Fortress Group could look good while it was foreclosing on poor folks in New Orleans after Katrina. Hedge funds make tons of money by short selling. Does Mr. Edwards think short selling helps the small shareholders of a company? His phoniness is amazing.

    The movie was excellent, one part of it though the narration stated that the seabiscuit was quite lazy and liked to lay under an oak tree all day. Race day was a different story. Edwards is in a sense the same, he looks into a mirror all day combing his balding head just to make a good appearance on race day.

    Funny, Silkpony does have some lon chaney attributes and the Werewolve of London song is apropos. Need a good song for sHrillary, Huckleberry and the Paulwad, etc.
    sKerry made a good Lurch. I guess Hill is Bride of Frankenstein or maybe Countess Dracula who needs a stake driven through her hard heart figuratively.

    Edwards is very talented. Few of us can claim to spoken with dead children and have a jury buy into that sham.

    media doesn’t seem to much care what short cuts libs take- I guess Hillary could pull same magic as she did with commodities futures. Helps to have someone give you the winning trades and let another sucker take the losses in that zero-sum game.
    Shorting is great. Hedge funds can screw the little guys’ investment in small, struggling companies with ease. SEC has all sorts of rules they won’t enforce such as naked shorting.
    And of course we must protect the poor banks and lenders from potential losses at all costs.

Isn’t doing it yourslef the same pathetic thing as going around, making up your own tough sounding nick-name and asking people to call you by it?

    Then, to describe himself as Seabisquit, and that it was owned by a poor guy and such coming from Mr. Richie Rich and Mrs. Too-Good-To-Live-Next-To-Working-Class…well that is just a bit much.

    These guys just have no shame at all, do they?
