John Edwards. A Question For Undecided Voters Or Independents, Democrats, Progressives Et Al Please.

The sum total quantity of deaths brought on by standard medicine is 783,936 every single year. The medical method could be the leading cause for injury and death in america. Specifically why is the media playing up Democratic candidate John Edwards history as a medical negligence lawyer? Could Americans genuinely pick to do not have any representation when it happens to them or do they consider it can not take place to them? He's the only actual candidate with just a single payer universal healthcare program and he claims to get totally free from Iraq. He is the only genuine candidate who's functioning on the guarantee to assist the typical American. The value of his haircut is clearly typical in the occasion that you lived inside an urban setting like NYC or LA, whilst the tale unfolded and it improved tremendously. The reality is, if anyone were running for President, I guarantee we'd work our asses off to seem your best. We calculate our commanders by some weird needs - seems we especially dislike intellect and genuinely desire getting tricked after every single 4 years by a pseudo excellent-ole' boy.

Why do you think the media is playing up Hilary crying? Why do you think it played up the sound Dean's voice made cracking during a campaign cheer last time around?   Carol, I'm assuming you're a woman from the name. Do you care if Hilary cried or not? Would it change your vote one way or the other if she did? Don't you find it insulting that fox had multiple people state repeatedly that women switched their votes at the last minute because Hilary cried. Basically they want to believe their pollsters were right about Tuesday even though it turned out they were wrong. It couldn't be that they don't know anything and don't have anything to talk about because the so-called pundits don't know jack about the issues. Women are thought to be so willy-nilly in our voting that the women in NH said one thing to pollsters and then saw Hilary get slightly choked up and just decided they liked her better.   To me, it's a plus that Edwards is an attorney and even more of a plus that he worked in and understands medical malpractice. It's more of a plus that he didn't grow up privileged.   But really, do you expect the media to be unbiased after everything else you've seen them do before? I'm not saying you shouldn't call people on these sorts of statements every chance you get. I think you should call people on their BS. But BS from BSers shouldn't surprise you. None of this really surprises me anymore.   So, having discussed the media, I come to this. Looking back at your comments one more time, I think it would help to clarify this.   You said: "The total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is 783,936 per year."   That just sounds like a rather large and really specific number to me. Is that an average? Last year's number? Determined how? Estimated? Estimated how? Says who? I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying statements like that need to be qualified to carry any real weight.

The conclusion was that the media is controlling who we perceive as the viable candidates and the people are following the media, not matching their hopes with the actual stances of the candidates 72 months ago

cyndyh, regarding your answer "I think it the same reason the media plays up other things.":Hi Cyndyh: That number appears on a few websites I was able to locate. I can't find the exact one I was quoting from which tended to focus on the abuses of the pharmaceutical industry but gave general statistics as well but here's another one you can take a look at:http://healthguidelines.net/IntegrativeMedicine/ConventionalMedicineOutcomes/tabid/95/Default.aspx

John Edwards brings to mind an old Texas description of someone who talks more than he performs, "He's all hat and no cattle."Don't get yourself worked up over John Edwards. His campaign isn't going anywhere--rapidly!
