something else I just don't get....

GOPers are always asserting that if the average-Joe just exerted a bit of effort, pull themselves up by the bootstraps and take responsibility for their own lives that they can succeed and achieve the American Dream.

Well, John Edwards did just that. Coming from a working class family - he put himself through college, established a successful law practice and achieved the American Dream

yet, GOPers are bashing him for doing what they say we should be doing.
