Edwards Calls Out The Democrats

December 15, 2007 – 12:27 pm

“I think if my party, the Democratic Party, if we’re not willing to fight for, stand up and show some backbone on behalf of the poor, the homeless, the disabled, the disenfranchised, we have no soul. What are we going to stand for? The easiest thing to do is say we can be nice about this, we can turn our heads and we can sit at a table with stakeholders and negotiate with them and they will voluntarily give their power away. It is a complete fantasy. We need a president who says to the American people that corporate greed and corporate power is not going to stop us any more. I do actually believe we have an enormous fight in front of us. I believe we need a fighter, not somebody who talks about it, who thinks about it.”
