According to Drudge:

John Edwards: 'When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk. Get up out of that wheelchair and walk again'...

Yes, and He shall cast the loaves upon the waters, and walk out upon them to gather up the fishes, to feed the long-suffering victims of Republican tax cuts. He shall make the blind see, and the deaf hear, and the dumb speak, and cure the afflicted of their poxen. No one will need Viagra.

Feel the power! Let it course through your body!

The lion shall lay down with the lamb, and the Jew with the Jihadist.

Though I walk through the Valley of MOAB and PGMs and missile defense, I shall fear no evil, because The Beast in simian form, George W. Bush, will no longer be president.

Testify, Brother Edwards! Testify!

Truly, these clowns are becoming a parody of themselves.

[Update a few minutes later]

It just occurs to me that, given Mr. Reeve's current body temperature, Senator Edwards isn't just claiming that Senator Kerry will cause the crippled to walk--he's going to raise the dead.

I think some scriptue is apropriate here and hopefully predictive of Kedwards November 3rd fate.

"Rev. 3:15-18, "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you
out of my mouth."

"Matt. 7:15-20, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits, you will know them."

"If ya feel...ya HEAL!"

That's a fairly obscure quote. Let's see if anyone gets it.

Yeah, Edwards reminds me of the tele-evangelist Robert Tilton.

Far too many of the dumb are already speaking.

Scary Kerry looks like he was raised from the dead, but it didn't quite take.

What they are doing with Reeve's is truly disgusting, even if Reeves was for Kerry and stem cell research.

> Senator Edwards isn't just claiming that Senator Kerry will cause the crippled to walk--he's going to raise the dead.

Remember "Crossing Over with John Edwards" on the Sci-Fi Channel?

As a voter living in North Carolina, IF I was perdisposed to vote the Dem way, I would now be rethinking it. John Edwards is an ambulance chaser, and an opportunist. He has done nothing to help either his constituents nor his country. He has skipped votes that directly affected us here at home. Good work Senator!!

If they could get Chris Reeves to walk, Edwards only interest would be to sue the horse, and tree that caused the injury, and name God as co-cause because he created them, knowing that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. Also knowing that the horse and tree are probably not well off, being a horse and a tree.

Edwards is an idiot, a dolt and a lawyer of questionable merit, three strikes John, YOUR OUT!!!

Is Edwards the False Prophet? He doesn't seem smart enough.

First he claims he has extraterrestrial allies, then that he can raise the dead. . .

This is one of those cases where both sides go too far. Stem cell research isn't going to lead to instant cures. On the other hand, it is extremely important, and likely will reduce the suffering and death of living, breathing, thinking human beings. There wouldn't have been enough time for Cristopher Reeve, but that isn't the case for the thousands in the future who will suffer because of this insane restriction.

VR, there is no restriction, except on federal funding. If it has this much promise, I've no doubt that private research funds can be found, and are.

His comments won't fly? That's super, man.

Hallelujah!

Tilton? Nah. Newcomer wannabee.

You may be too young to remember Oral Roberts. Clearly Edwards isn't.

No restriction *EXCEPT* Federal Funding? Leaving aside the attempts to push through an anti-cloning treaty, that is a major restriction. This is primarily basic research, an area that business tends to avoid. Unless you want to stop ALL Federal medical research money, it should be going to the areas with the greatest promise. This is one of those areas.

Late to the party, but re: "If ya feel, ya heal"... From Greaser's Palace, a wonderfully strange movie of the early 70s.
