olitical connections? by lalouisiane
Amazing how many people will bend over backwards to attack the reputation of a West Point graduate and Army Ranger commander just because he's got a "D" next to his name.

What’s amazing is how after almost four years as governor people still talk highly of Edwards and his reputation even though he immediately broke his campaign promise not to raise taxes.

I applaud his service, but as governor he has failed to move the state forward. Just saying you aren’t Bobby Jindal, and you got us out of a ditch by raising taxes; does not add up to much when you look at the big picture.
