Edwards Jabs at former President Clinton

Edwards is only saying what many Democrats don't or won't say: the Clintons are not real Democrats. Hillary got booed at the Kos convention because of her pro-business attitudes. She is under fire for close ties to a company that specializes in outsourcing American jobs. Bill was very good to big business during his presidency. Its clear if Hillary is elected President she would be very cozy with corporate establishment. If you are a traditional Democrat you might be concerned by that prospect:

Democratic presidential contender John Edwards on Monday criticized former President Clinton, arguing that he allowed corporate insiders to shape the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement that has cost U.S. jobs.

Edwards' complaints about the former president beloved by voters in his own party was a defiant move meant to highlight rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's relationship with special interests. It comes two days after Clinton refused Edwards' challenge to stop taking campaign donations from lobbyists, saying many represent good causes.

The Clintons are Wolves in Sheeps clothing--Republicans disguised as Democrats. It was smart of the Edwards campaign to point out these facts. This attack is very tough and will certainly escalate the war of words between the candidates:

While Edwards' speech did not mention the name Clinton, the object of his complaint was obvious. Edwards criticized the presidential leadership during the 1993 passage of NAFTA, which was started by President George H.W. Bush and pushed through by Clinton. He said the trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada was "written by insiders in all three countries."

Edwards said the policies of President George W. Bush have devastated towns and communities all across America, but "this is not just his doing."
