Why am I not surprised - John Edwards

Vice Presidential runningmate to J.F. Kerry, John (The Breck Girl) Edwards may talk a nice story about being there for the common man but it seems that his cash tells a different story. From CNN/Money:
Edwards linked to subprime foreclosures
Presidential candidate's holdings in Fortress are invested in subprime lenders foreclosing on Katrina victims - report.

Democratic presidential contender John Edwards has investing ties to subprime lenders who are foreclosing on victims of Katrina, according to a report published Friday.

The Wall Street Journal said there are 34 homes in New Orleans that face foreclosure from the subprime unit of Fortress Investment Group. Edwards has about $16 million in Fortress (Charts), a hedge fund and private equity manager, the newspaper said.

Edwards, the former senator from North Carolina, has been a vocal critic of subprime lenders and told the Journal that he would assist homeowners in New Orleans who face foreclosure from businesses linked to Fortress or who have already lost their homes.
Another perfect example of the leftie "Do as I say, not as I do". Fucktards... Posted by DaveH at August 18, 2007 9:03 PM
