John Edwards Feels Your Pain

Or Why John Edwards (Democract) is a Hypocrite

John Edwards, Democrat, is running for President of the United States of America.  Now Satan, being somewhat of a sadist, listened to Hillary's Conversation with America on Wednesday and was perusing Edwards' "For President" website today.  Actually, I was just looking for ways to torture the newest minions of Hell.  Coincidentally, Satan also came across this article today, which describes Edwards new house.

Now Satan's understanding of "who" the Democrats are, pretty much assumes they are supposed to be for the little guy.  So how does a Democrat like Edwards, who is building a 28,000 square foot home, (the main house is a paltry 10,000 sq.ft., while the recreational barn is 16,000 sq.ft. and the hall that connects the two is 2,000 sq.ft.) claim to have ANYTHING in common with the "little" guy? The property is valued at over six million dollars. Maybe he will hire some of the common-folk to clean his mansion.        Not only does Satan feel that this shows that Edwards is out of touch with middle America, the hypocrisy gets worse.  Now in his day, Satan has coached many great people to say one thing, but do another, but the master is taking notes on this one.  If you go to Edwards home page, you will find he is calling for a National Day of Energy Action.      

   If you click on that picture you are sent this page, which gives you "tips" on how to help fight global warming and save energy.  Here are John's energy saving tips:

1. Sign The Pledge

    * Be Patriotic -- Pledge to do everything you can to conserve energy and fight global warming starting right now

2. Reduce Your Energy Footprint at Home and at Work

    * Replace your most frequently used light bulbs with compact fluorescent and other energy efficient bulbs

    * Weatherize your home by caulking and weather stripping your doorways and windows

    * Fix leaky faucets and toilets

    * Unplug electronics when not in use, including televisions, stereos and computers, which consume electricity even when in "sleep" mode

    * Only run your dishwasher and washing machine with a full load

    * Adjust your thermostat down a couple of degrees

    * Install a low-flow shower head and take shorter showers

    * Keep your water heater thermostat no higher than 120 degrees

If Satan might be so bold, he'd like to add something to this list.  You can further save energy by NOT BUILDING a 28,000 square foot home.  Does Satan see solar panels on this house?  Does Satan bet it has a several bathrooms and a hot tub?  Does Satan think Edwards is a hypocrite?   If he wants to stop global warming, then why did he cut down a bunch of air scrubbing trees to build a 28,000 square feet of house that will cost more to heat and cool a year than what most of those who will vote for Edwards make in a year.

Satan thought this was Edwards greatest feat of speciousness, but we happened to read a little further.  Edwards asks his followers to be patriotic by saving energy and fighting global warming.  He is willing to fight global warming, but Satan is speechless at seeing this on his website:

John Edwards, Democrat, wants you to be patriotic and fight global warming, but he backs stopping the funding necessary for victory in Iraq.  So let Satan get this straight, global warming is a threat to the Republic, but Islamic terrorists aren't?  Send Satan a telegram if he has that wrong.  All Satan has to say on global warming is that we have global warming in Hell and it isn't caused by greenhouse gases.

Can I question Edwards on his patriotism now?  Satan thinks that anyone who would undermine our war effort and declare that global warming is our nation's enemy surely despises the United States of America.  Why do Democrats want the U.S. to lose in Iraq?  Why do Democrats, like Edwards want American prestige and power to be damaged?  Why do Democrats like Edwards want to embolden our enemies?  The answer is obvious, because they believe they can be patriotic about such things as global warming, but if it involves duty, honor, and country, that is asking too much.  Maybe Edwards read this article and believes that global warming causes terrorism?

Can Satan call Edwards a hypocrite?  Satan knows that anyone who calls on his fellow Americans to change light bulbs, take cold showers, and lower the thermostat, yet at the same time builds a palatial estate that will use more power than 10 average American homes is a demagogue.  And if you think Satan is reaching when he calls leftists like Edwards un-American, you need to read this article at Wizbang.
