Two Americas, Indeed !

Yup, there are two Americas, all right - John and Elizabeth Edward's rich white Democratic America, and everyone else, whom they will not even talk to, because they are, you know, different:

Elizabeth Edwards says she is scared of the "rabid, rabid Republican" who owns property across the street from her Orange County home -- and she doesn't want her kids going near the gun-toting neighbor.
The Edwards family has yet to meet Johnson in person." I wouldn't be nice to him, anyway," Edwards said in an interview...

Hmmm - last I heard is that the Second Amendment was still in the Constitution, and that it wasn't a crime - yet - to be a registered (aka "rabid") Republican:

Johnson defended the occasion he brandished a gun, saying those on his land didn't have the proper approval. "I use the gun for protection, and I considered that an appropriate time," Johnson said.

Edwards views Johnson as a "rabid, rabid Republican" who refuses to clean up his "slummy" property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.
Johnson, 55, acknowledges his Republican roots. But he takes offense to the suggestion he has purposefully left his property, including an old garage he leases for use as a car shop, in dilapidated condition.


Johnson said he has lived his entire life on the property, which he said his family purchased before the Great Depression. He said he's spent a lot of money to try and fix up the 42-acre tract."I have to budget. I have to live within my means," Johnson said. "I don't have millions of dollars to fix the place."

How about sharing the wealth, Elizabeth? If the poor folks across the way are unable to fix up their homestead, perhaps a little neighborly liberal charity would be in order. Or is Mr. Johnson not a legitmate member of the "other" America because he is Republican? Will Democratic social programs now require the "proper" party identification card?

The kicker:

"I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people," Johnson said. "But does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn't speak to me."

Takes a poor good 'ol boy like Mr. Johnson to uncover what all the rich white liberals and their lackys in the media refuse to tell you: John Edwards and his wife are phonies, and their appeal to poor people is a scam to get them into power and institute a radical wealth redistribution, which will avoid hurting the rich and be unable to help the poor. It would create a lot of additional people dependant on government, and a lot of new government employees, but isn't that what the Democratic platform is really all about?

John and Elizabeth as the ultimate Three Card Monty team - one shills, while the other marks the cards....

*If* I did own a gun, which I don't, and which is probably a good thing, since my Conservative rabidness tends to work fine on its own against any threat of criminality towards me, I would probably use it to butt Liz Edwards on the head for making a remark of that...caliber.

Oh, Erica, too funny!
Would you say that Elizabeth "shot her mouth off"?

Yeppers, I sure would.
