First, we have Mitt Romney in the debate attacking Edwards premise of two Americas, one for us and one for people like Mitt Romney. Edwards was quick to take Mr. Romney behind the woodshed on that one:
"In the debate tonight, Governor Romney was caught being deceptive about his own record. He is also being deceptive about whether there are two Americas – one for the most powerful and one for everyone else. News flash, Governor: The 98% of Americans who were not born to great wealth or who have not been given special privilege in our country struggle every day to make ends meet and provide opportunities for their families. No small part of their struggle is because the game has been rigged to protect those on top. It is not surprising Governor Romney proposes additional policies to assist the crowd on Easy Street. Unfortunately for him, the millions of Americans who live and work on Main Street know much more about the reality of where we are as a country."

Thank you so much Senator Edwards. The plain and simple fact of the matter is that here on Main St., we are hurting. Nowhere is the fact of two Americas more evident. While people like you, Gov. Romney are living up the high life, more and more of us are falling behind. Why don't you take a walk away from Easy St. and come see how the rest of us live? We didn't inherit huge sums of money like you did. John Edwards didn't either. He WORKED for his and doesn't forget where he came from. Of course you find that extremely offensive, because your main concern is ignoring the true concerns of average Americans and throwing more money into the pockets of you, and your selfish un-American lot who cannot be patriotic about anything besides war. All your money can't change the truth that you offer us four more years of Corporate Welfare, endless war, and continuing decline of American principles. No thanks.
Next we have this ignorant little ad where Rudy Ghouliani also spells out his lust for greed:

Again, Edwards was quick to respond to this ridiculous ad by Ghouliani:
"It looks like Rudy Giuliani wants to offer America four more years of George W. Bush – no thanks. John Edwards will deliver tax cut relief to the millions of middle class and working Americans who need it, not the wealthiest few like Giuliani who don't. But Giuliani's attack on John Edwards shows one thing – that instead of offering any ideas to help the middle class, he's more than willing to ignore the middle class and attack the one Democrat who has proposed bold and detailed plans to help American families.
"Truth be told, John Edwards has taken on the Giulianis of the world his entire life and beaten them. And, come November 2008, John Edwards looks forward to beating them again, no matter who the Republican nominee is."

Of course who is surprised? Ghouliani has long been proven a hypocrite. It seems the main issue for Republicans this time around is not Illegal Immigration, or keeping a needless war in which thousands of people die and over a trillion dollars are wasted, it is what it always boils down to for Republicans, GREED!! They aren't concerned with real tax reform for the people who need it, middle and lower class workers, but are determined to lower the taxes on the most un-Patriotic among us who beat the drums for war, and expect someone else to pay for their hawkish idiocy.
Of course you are attacking John Edwards. He is everything you are not. He is handsome, compassionate, and intelligent. He has only had one wife, and his kids speak to him. He made his own millions, and cares about working families and how America works for them. Most of all, as stated above, he has been fighting greedy, self-serving people such as yourself his whole life, and has beaten them time and time again. I just hope that both of you win the nomination, so I can watch him mop the floor with you all over the electoral college!!!
Wanna see what offends them about Edwards so much? Check out this video in which Edwards spells out the Moral Test of our generation, which is not giving more huge tax breaks to Romney and Giuliani, and their ilk:
