let me get this straight.

the nitwits who run this blog think Sicko is enough information for someone to know whether or not Cuba's system is the ideal one for the US?

that's like saying reading Drudge is sufficient to understand world affairs.

What is this about... Has ABC gone over the edge? What happen to independant jounalism? Are you paid by ABC or Hillaryis44.com?

Correction ABC has gone over the edge,
ABC=FOX !!!

I don't mean to be facetious, but, he didn't ask if their health care was a government run program, did he? Isn't everything in Cuba government run.

Only a nitwhit goes to see or buys into a Michael Moore flick. All the more reason to strike Edwards off the list.

Wergo, its nitwit, not nitwhit, nitwit.

Well... yeah...I agree with you about Michael Moore, I hate him too. Unfortunately, he was correct about everything in Fahrenheit 9/11. Absolutely everything. Kind of tough to argue around that fact.

Bravo Tumbleweedin. But your mistake is asuming that facts matter to those who swallow democrat rhetoric. But, from someone who thinks that facts matter, thanks for the history lesson.

That's scary, Mr. Edwards does not know that every organization, indeed almost every facet of Cuban life is run by the unelected Castro government. I see a steep learning curve if he is elected.

Y'all are publically hateful, socially cheap and completely brainwashed. And you are LOVING IT!

Nobody could match your opinion of yourself.

Edwards and Moore could help this once great country. They would make everybody our friends and thats what counts!

You can't equally compare the U.S. healthcare system with the Cuban healthcare system. Edwards was right to answer he didn't have enough information. I have seen "Sicko" and I cannot tell you exactly how their healthcare system works. Go ahead and hate Moore because it doesn't bother Moore one bit. There was this guy that ran a blog that did nothing but attack Moore constantly. That guy's wife ended up getting cancer, so the guy had to shut down his website because of healthcare insurance was too high. Moore being a believer in the 1st amendment, sent that guy an anonymous check so the guy could keep running his blog and afford to pay for his wife's medical expenses.

Let's leave Sicko out of this. Edwards' failure to understand that everything in Cuba of any significance is government-run indicates his complete ignorance about the world outside our borders. And they think Bush is an idiot.

And of course, that same deliberately false shill who runs this blog is trying to make us believe that the Dems are deliberately trying to mislead us, as they search for every way to lies through their headlines. Yes, you can think 'Sicko' is a good movie and still not know much about the Cuban health system. I don't. They aren't 'flip-flops'. We can 'support the troops' and 'want them home now' to stop this senseless sacrificing of our children to Bush's will to power. Only idiots think such is inconsistent, and phonies trying to convince the idiots among us.

Regardless of any film on the topic, a person running for POTUS should, under no circumstances, be dumb enough to ask if Cuba has government run health care.

Actually Alice, your comment above is slightly inaccurate, it should be:

" you can ONLY think 'Sicko' is a good movie IF YOU DO not know much about the Cuban health system"

"There was this guy that ran a blog that did nothing but attack Moore constantly. That guy's wife ended up getting cancer, so the guy had to shut down his website because of healthcare insurance was too high."

Moonsha, just so you know, there is NOTHING in that statement that is, at all, true.
I happen to BE a contributor to the website you're referring to, as well as a friend of it's owner, and I can tell you that this is a COMPLETE fabrication.
NOBODY had "cancer", the web site NEVER shut down, Moore did not send money to run the website, etc. etc.
There WAS money given by Moore to the site's owner (anonymously), but that was just a set up to try to smear him in his film.
So, other than the fact that Moore anonymously sent him money, NOTHING else you said is even CLOSE to true.

Oh, and for anyone who wishes to know the actual story, try visiting moorewatch.com, and clicking on the white box on the upper left hand side of the front page that says "before you comment or email us, click here".

It will give you the whole story, without the complete bullshit spread by people like Moore and Moonsha.

Oh, and Edwards did not say "I don't have enough information". He said he didn't know anything about Cuba's healthcare system.
He also said he didn't know if it was government run.
Whether he saw the ending of Sicko or not, he would have seen Moore celebrate the Cuban Socialized healthcare system, in which "the government pays for everything".
Kind of hard to miss that point, as it was driven into the audience's skull about a thousand times during the film.

Not that it even matters. Anyone with a 5th grade education knows Cuba is a socialist nation, and that socialist nations' public welfare systems and utilities, including healthcare, are entirely run and paid for by the government.
Then there's the open discussion that's been going on in public about Moore's film, in which, every conversation, it is mentioned that Cuba's system is government run.

So, Edwards claiming he doesn't know this can ONLY mean one of three things;
either he's lying, he's out of touch with the public or he's just incredibly, unbelievably stupid.
Personally, I think it's a little of all three.

To be fair, wasn't it W who didn't know the name of Canada's Prime Minister during the 2000 campaign?

But yeah, it doesn't exactly help him gain ground in the polls. The sooner he and his wife go away, the better.

@Looken

Including the kite flying children at the start of the movie?

Who cares? Edwards is not running for president of Cuba. Look at that idiot Bush, right before he invaded Iraq, someone had to take him aside and explain to him that Iraq is made up of 3 very distinct ethnic groups, Kurds, Shiite and Sunnis. Now that is pathetic

Psst - curt, don't look now, but Shiites and Sunnis are different religious sects, not ethnic groups. The Kurds are a seperate ethnic group.

I find it amazing that we "know" somebody "anonymously" sent somebody else a check. Um...doesn't "anonymously" mean we DON'T know who sent the check?

Sheesh.....
