She has never met `rabid Republican,’ but wouldn’t be nice if she did meet him.  Her neighbor, Monty Johnson, lives on the property across the street from this house that the Edwards just built:

The home that Johnson lives in has been in his family since before the depression in the 1920’s.  Now I can’t see Johnsons house, but according to the Elizabeth, Johnson is a “rabid, rabid Republican” who refuses to clean up his “slummy” property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.

Johnson, 55, acknowledges his Republican roots. But he takes offense to the suggestion he has purposefully left his property, including an old garage he leases for use as a car shop, in dilapidated condition.

Johnson said he has lived his entire life on the property, which he said his family purchased before the Great Depression. He said he’s spent a lot of money to try and fix up the 42-acre tract.

“I have to budget. I have to live within my means,” Johnson said. “I don’t have millions of dollars to fix the place.”

Johnson, who has posted a “Go Rudy Giuliani 2008″ sign on a fence just 100 feet from the entrance to the Edwards’ driveway, has criticized Edwards for the scale of their nearby home. The property and home, which includes an indoor basketball court, an indoor handball court and an indoor pool, is valued at $5.3 million.

From the comments at Hot Air:

Funny how her husband wants to appease radical muslims, and radical countries that want to destroy us, but won’t get to know his neighbor because he is a republican…a rabid, rabid republican.
