Typical politician lying SCUMBAG. He's publically denied the affair for YEARS.

Yes,

She is trying to recover from the cancer.

[HenryKnoxFineBooks]

She has inoperable, terminal cancer. He says he had the affair while it was in remission....

It's titillating, though not terribly relevant. However, as someone aspiring to public offices of power, I don't think he can expect the privacy that you or I do.

I think the act of running for public office exposes oneself to investigation and scrutiny to a far greater extent than a private citizen.

It is about the hypocrisy though. Edwards is not really in office anymore... no need to bother him.

I think it's a really funny story how he got caught..

Unfortunately someone had Hannity on their radio earlier and he's trying to make this out to be as big as the Monica Lewinsky scandal...

Oh and Hannity is also trying to uncover a related scandal...

I think this girl may have been paid over $100k to design his campaign website, and apparently she doesn't have any web design experience.

Look at this,

"Another blow to Democrats today -- Edwards former national finance chairman, Fred Baron, said he had made payments to Hunter in an attempt to keep her quiet about the affair, without the knowledge of Edwards."

And I have an extra bridge to sell you if you buy this one.

He knew Edwards was lying, he tried to pay her off without him knowing?

The LA times failed to investigate. They shut down the blog on any comments. They are getting slammed big time for not checking out the story.

I would cancel my subscription. MSM cover up when it comes to a Dem. Now they have to report.

The real deal will be how many Edwards supports say NO VOTE. I am picking up they feel betrayed and this might well throw the whole race into a tail spin.

McCain and Hillary. No Comment. You bet.

Where was Larry Flint on this one?

O on vacation for a week. Edwards confesses on a Friday with the Olympics. Get the story buried fast.

But for the internet, we would no longer know what is going on out there. The media has sold out.

Imagine, the National Enquirer is the only one that pursued the story. Does that say something for the press now days.

LA times has egg on their face for not investigating.

I would not be disappointed if one or two million called in and dropped their subscriptions to the LA Times. That is a message they might start to understand.

A Politician putting his pickle in someone elses jar is hardly news and wont cause a problem for the party. Hell, if Bill can get a BJ from a fat chick in the oval office without real backlash then I ask you "How coud this cause a problem?"
Overall i couldnt care less if he sleeps around. It does show a lack of character but doesnt cause his decision making ability to be altered. What I have an issue with is the lying. He should ahve said "My personal life is non of your business" and left it at that. For those that think you shouldnt have a personal life if your a politician....well, your the problem! Politicians have jobs and while on those jobs I expect them to do the function of government. If while off of work they commit actions that are perfectly legal, yet are considered by some to be immoral, then I say those who think its immoral work on the "Judge not" portion of the Bible!

Edwards is a scum sucking lawyer who made a fortune milking insurance companies by blaming MD's for birth defects. He's a bottom feeder. Why anybody actually expected better from him is what I don't grasp.

As much as I hate to admit it though, sexual morals might not make good Presidential material. See "Carter." Bush doesn't have a public reputation with sexual issues, but he is the worst President in recent history.

[angelatc]

It's a tough sell because his first wife still speaks highly of him in public. So many people are divorced these days that it isn't the scandal that it could be.

This is a big reason why the print media is dying. They don't actually investigate stories, they just reprint statements and press releases.

The story broke in the National Enquirer or The Star or something tabloid. That's the same format that broke the S&L scandal way back in the '80's.

People need to wake up. Go look at any big scandal or story you can remember, and see which ones broke in the MSM. The answer is: none.

The Iraqi missile photoshop came from a blogger. Lewinski came from Drudge. The gay White House "reporter" came from bloggers.

I inadvertently played this game in an eBay group I used to post in. Even I was dumbfounded when the liberals tried to shoot my theory down by naming stories, and every single one of them originated from a source outside the "real" reporters.

Hate to break it to you but boinking some chick other then your wife isnt impeachable and since he wasnt under oath when he lied, he hasnt commited a crime. Sorry, not impeachable under any circumstances.

I am familiar with Bubbas case (Ive written a paper on it) and him lying was only impeachable because he was under oath. Check your facts, your missing the boat on this one.

btw... John would actually have to be in the Senate in order to be impeached. Since he is a FORMER senator, I think it may be tough for them to go back and impeach him.

The whole thread is about John Edwards. You stated impeachment would be a problem. Since he isnt in the Senate it isnt possible. Even Bubba was impeached but not removed. The point I was making is that if Edwards were in the Senate, he could not be impeached because he never made untrue statements under oath, unlike Bubba. Notice, Bubba wasnt found guilty of lying, he was found guilty of PERJURY.

how do you know how his wife really feels? maybe knowing
that she is a goner, she made allowances for him. i said maybe.

you are making assumptions and judging a person on what he
does with his personal life, based on your own set standards.

care for. Never did like the guy.

BUT... I do have a problem when people stick their nose in other
people's business and start judging them based on what they
thing is acceptable conduct. It is his personal affair. He should
deal with it, if/when his wife has issues with it.

As I said, you don't know what his situation is. His wife has been
diagnosed (reportedly) with terminal cancer. They may have an
understanding that the rest of us don't know about or can't even
understand or condone.

Bottom line, it is their private business. Not yours. Not mine. Only
theirs.
