Reply #113: Read up on Edwards clean coal platform

[Radical Activist]

Edwards won the mine workers endorsement by promising $1 billion a year in corporate subsidies to the coal industry for "clean" coal research. That's far more than the amount Obama proposed for coal to liquid fuel research that he got hammered over. Obama has an excellent energy platform and a long history of supporting the environment.

The bill Obama proposed in the Senate would have troops out of Iraq my March of '08. I don't see a huge difference there. And frankly, I don't think its necessarily more liberal to force someone into the ridiculous system of private health insurance. Single payer is the way to go but Edwards isn't backing that either.
There are differences in details between their platforms but conservative is never a word that describes Obama's policies.
