To quote TFA:
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards told a labor group he would ask Americans to make a big sacrifice: their sport utility vehicles.

The former North Carolina senator told a forum by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, yesterday he thinks Americans are willing to sacrifice.

Edwards says Americans should be asked to drive more fuel efficient vehicles. He says he would ask them to give up SUVs.

Yeah give up SUV's... I'd like to see what he drives!

I do however agree TOTALLY on this one "He says jobs that provide equipment for America's defense need to be made in the United States."

I think it's rather ironic how they cut funding for up-armored vehicles a couple years ago. A friend of mine had a contract at Ft Carson to armor the Humvee's going to Iraq but funding was cut and he was laid off... where's the priorities??? :mad: :tisk:

Edwards was asked during his appearance how he explained the contradiction of asking Americans to sacrifice while he's living in a 28,000-square-foot (2,600-square-meter) mansion.

He said he came from nothing, worked hard all his life, has always supported workers and fought big corporations as a lawyer.

"I have no apologies whatsoever for what I've done with my life," he said to loud cheers. "My entire life has been about the same cause, which is making sure wherever you come from, whatever your family is, whatever the color of your skin, you get a real chance to do something great in this country."

So, Mr. Edwards, you work hard and have no apologies about enjoying the fruits of your labor, but the rest of us need to "sacrifice"? That attitude makes you unworthy to serve this country as president.

I had started another thread after not seeing this was the same thing from the title. I deleted it. Sorry for the repost.

Sad that we have to use this logic in our political process. It seems to be the norm these days.

I agree, and there are people out there that would be good for the job and the country but they don't want to go through the hell the media would put them through.
