John Edwards is a liar

The affair illustrates why this election and politics in general is such a farce.
John Edwards, the guy who painted himself as a "different" or "populist" candidate, one who constantly during the debates earlier in the campiagn suggested he was more radical and more "liberal" on issues than clinton or obama.
what a joke.
"two americas"? Give me a break.
This is exactly why I am not falling for Obama. Politicians lie and let you down. By definition.
He is just like every other politician.
Not even clinton, bill that is, was as stupid as this. I bet its even his child. Clinton didnt even do that!
What a man! What a baby! instead of being a man and admitting the other day that he was continuing the affair, as he left her hotel room evidently just THE OTHER DAY! Instead of manning up, he spends 45 minutes hiding in a bathroom! Wow!

Not so sure he was there to continue the affair, wasn't he there to see his kid?
How much do we think Lisa, sorry, RIELLE Hunter is being paid not to submit to a paternity test?
Whatever it is, you know it's good.
She's the protagonist in Jay McInerney's book, "The Story of My Life" which isn't exactly top of the line literature, but does paint a pretty shocking party girl picture, even by New York in the 80s standards. Read the book, and you'll know the girl will literally do anything for money.
Good choice, John.
really,....... does it matter?
Color me shocked men lie about affairs and politicians just lie...
way to finally become enlightened.
Alot of people say that about him.... do you really think he can contact spirits in the afterlife.... most people really think he is a fraud.... but hey if the man has a gift he has a gift....
Does anything?
So, the high moral ground dictates we complicate ourselves against nature.
Maybe John Edwards had wants and needs as well. Wants and needs his sick wife was incapable of delivering. But what's love to you may be different to me or someone else. It's mutually exclusive throughout all relationships.
It's no one else's business... No one.
If they have it worked out (long before this became a story).... Then what should it matter?
If he tells a lie about it.... So what... he or she either one should not be accountable for it to anyone outside of all involved.
If we chose to hang everyone that ever had an affair we wouldn't have enough rope.... and a whole bunch of those people from the high ground would start lying as well...
...just sayin
Maybe their current significant other....maybe one (or both ) of their very own parents.
Maybe someone else they love and respect.
Maybe they are talking a bunch of critical, hypocritical crap and they themselves have at some time cheated on someone.
Would be interesting to learn.
Then what is the point of this thread?
This is a point I can agree with. The only thing that saved him was the voters realized he was a fraud long before this came to light.
What if he had somehow won the nomination ... and THEN this came out? Welcome to the Oval Office, President McCain. If I were a Democrat, I'd be righteously pissed at this guy for what he almost put the party and the country through.
People want to act like this doesn't matter, but it does. It speaks to character, which is -- or should be -- important in the people you elect. If he will screw over a cancer-striken wife, how in God's name can you expect him to give a shit about you?
But, like you said, he wasn't running for anything. So I guess it should matter outside the tabloid pages.
for the least they could possibly do
Jesus Christ, we're not animals. I've found it pretty easy since I got married not to stick my dick into strange vaginas. It really isn't difficult at all.
I agree, only because Edwards was no longer in the presidential race. If this had come out last January, then I'd say it's everyone's business.
It speaks to character, which is important in a leader. Maybe whether or not he had an affair on his cancer-striken wife isn't the only thing you base your vote on, but it can be a part of the overall tableau.
Again, since he was already out of the race, I suppose I can concede this point. (I'm not so positive he wasn't in the running to be VP, though, in which case I'd argue this news is highly relevant).
If you run for president, you are held to a higher standard than the rest of us schmoes, and rightfully so. Of course, nobody's saying we should hang John Edwards. Being a slimeball isn't a crime.
for the least they could possibly do
No argument from me. Like I said if he was still a candidate in the running or holding office, then yes this should be an issue.
We are animals....
and..dude, you notice other women...that's just nature.
Everything else is just shit we made up along the way.
He sits around all day thinking about flower pedals, cute kittens and hummingbirds.
Let's hope Slight never does anything immoral for the rest of his life and marriage. Let's hope that one day.......ten years from now, he doesn't find himself having inpure thoughts.
It's going to be a long fall from that Golden Chair OF Self-Righteousness, if he does.
If you're not fit to keep it in your pants, then you're not fit to keep bombs off of other cuntries.
right?
I'm not really sure what your point is. I'm not running for president, nor have I ever run for president. I never even ran for hall monitor.
Also, "inpure" isn't a word.
for the least they could possibly do
If you don't want to keep your dick in your pants, don't get married. It's really not that difficult a concept.
for the least they could possibly do
I told my ex-wife something like that, now she's lonely and miserable.

fixed.
Marriage...sexuality.....fidelity ...these are just a small part of a human beings lives and character.
Certainly there have been millions upon millions of faithful (to their spouses) human beings, who have done horrible, terrible things to other people; which were not sexually/infidelity-related.
And plenty of human beings who have had problems remaining faithful to their spouses, do a ton a wonderful things for their community and other people.
really well said.
people's personal relationships are just that, personal. obviously if one crosses the line of abuse, that is something else entirely. beyond that, not breaking any laws of the nation, all else is his own conscience. it is he and his wife, and whomever else involved, who have to live it and make their own choices. there ARe all kinds of relationships, many that 'work' well for those involved. there are also many traditional marriages, sans affairs, that may well be far more miserable, so who am i, or you, to judge someone else's choices in their own relationships?
beyond that, i find it naive at best to simply focus on that politicans lie.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
