Nope...No Double Standards Here

I seriously have to question the mental state of anyone who would actually vote for this two-faced jackass.
Those who would question Edwards' sincerity need only look at the photograph below of the new summer camp for disadvantaged, inner-city children, which Edwards had built - complete with basketball and squash courts and a swimming pool - using his own money.

Edwards, in an interview with the Web site Beliefnet.com, said Jesus would be most upset with the selfishness of Americans and the country's willingness to go to war "when it's not necessary."
"I think that Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring the plight of those around us who are suffering and our focus on our own selfish short-term needs," Edwards told the site. "I think he would be appalled, actually."
