Curious: How Many "Domestics" Does Edwards Employ
Edited on Mon Dec-31-07 06:09 PM by MannyGoldstein
in his 24,000 square foot house? What are they paid? Do they have health care benefits? Pensions?

Anyone know?

This information would show us where his heart really lies.

3. Absolutely.
I want to know how many pets he has. And I demand to know if they are allowed to belong to unions.

13. No.
The similarity existed only between your ears. I was simply making fun of your lame excuse for an attack against a good democratic candidate.

11. He does his own housework.
He can't afford "Domestics" because of his $24,000 haircuts he gets every five minutes.

I'd just wait until Fox News asks questions like this.

12. You Don't Think It's A Relevant Question?
I think it would tell us a lot about him, and whether he's truly reformed himself.

16. I doubt if a single front runner on either side is a member of the Middle Class.
They're rich and they spend their money how they want to spend it. If you're going to ding one of them for their wealth, you'll probably have to ding all of them.

20. I'm Simply Asking How He Treats His Employees
Does he walk the walk? It would be a fair question to ask of any candidate.

34. If Obama is Middle Class...
Edited on Mon Dec-31-07 06:31 PM by Fridays Child
I am now officially a member of the Working Poor.

Sen.Barack Obama (D-Ill.)

Net worth: $1-$2.5 million*

Details: In January 2005, Obama agreed to a $1.9 million advance from Random House for two non-ficton books and a children's book, of which $200,000 is being donated to charity. One of those books -- "The Audacity of Hope" -- has been a huge best seller since being released in October. He owns a home worth at least $1.6 million in Chicago.

*His wealth is likely to have increased significantly because of the huge success of "The Audacity of Hope"

Edited on Mon Dec-31-07 06:21 PM by Gidney N Cloyd
If the Edwardses have more than one domestic frankly I have to ask if he thinks he's better than Batman.
Well, John? Are you better than Batman?

38. I'm gonna say fewer than FDR. You know the house is 10,400 sq ft, right? You include the garage.
I don't know about where you live, but if I tried to sell my house claiming that the garage square footage was part of the house, I'd either get laughed off the MLS or get charged with fraud.
