Well I'm not sure if he will be indicted for anything, but what a scumbag, screwing around and fathering a child while his wife is dying with cancer.

If there's karma I hope he gets a big helping
I hope you have the same view of Newt Gingrich.
Serving his 1st wife divorce papers while she's still in hospital with cancer, serving his 2nd wife when she has MS & owing .5M to Tiffany's for bangles hopefully given to his 3rd wife.

Another sad story of someone who had it all and blew it. I think people like this are often more mentally disturbed than they are evil, not to mention being totally void of empathy. Some would call it "self destructive".

He was and always will be a sleaze bucket - During the campaign - they had reporters who were writing about the campaign behind the scenes - rules were nothing was to be made public as it would be published after the election - witness these public fights - only staff and these reporters around - between Bucket O Slime and his wife - she was also well aware of his meandering ways - yet she made a deliberate decision to some would say stand by her man, I believe she choose to deceive the public. For want of the highest office in the land.
She choose to deceive the public.

So she gets her fair share of slime as well.

Oh and we all should be so surprized!

The first time I heard of this guy, as Kerry's running-mate, they announced he practiced civil law specializing in medical malpractice.

In other words, he is a bottom-feeder, an ambulance-chaser, the absolute lowest type of liar snake found in the liar snake pit.

I thought "They've GOT to be kidding!!!"

It's got about 95% to do with the value people put on things in life. You'd think things like loyalty, reliability and honesty would trump such banal things as wealth and fame and power, but I guess with some people they obviously don't.

also self indulgent, similar to tiger woods, they seem to feel they are entitled, tiger woods even
admitted that about himself, selfish, without any dicipline at all, and above others, living in a
world of me me me, everything is about me.
well, what goes around comes around, and it now has.

try to put yourself in her position, terminal cancer, and this horrible news come upon her, would you
respect her more if she immediately held a news conference, and announced to the world what her
husband is doing, she had much more serious matters at hand for herself and her chldren.

It was her husband who was responsible for his actions, and it was he who should have come forward
much earlier than he did, (and he only did it because he was cornered).

She was trying to stay alive as long as she could for those kids, and yes, she was silent, but she
was living her own life privately, and publicly it seemed they were fine.

Your wisdom knows no bounds! Edwards is obviously a very hollow man, no empathy or sense of loyalty.

When you or I are faced with a situation such as this we don't find Anderson Cooper standing on our doorstep with a CNN camera crew. In my opinion she did what she could to protect her family and kids.

She deserved what happened to her as much as a women deserves to be raped. John Edwards is a total scumbag who not only victimized his wife during her darkest hours, but brought immense pain to his children.

He is a piece of garbage, lower than the microbes that grow on fecal matter.

Ordinarily, I do not give a damn about some politician's extra-marital affairs. Each to their own I always say. You're sex life has no correlation to your ability to do a job. If a spouse will support them, then who the hell am I to judge differently.

But this guy, beyond low.

Yeah, I'm of two minds on that matter, if a guy is building mouse traps, it's probably a moot issue, but where it's something where trust is involved and he's cheating on his wife, then he probably needs a second look.

I did consider that - She also knew about his constant philandering and the child he fathered - even before he made his 2nd run. And she tagged along.That says a lot for me.

I get that. I mean, we are talking abut a betrayal, which is a pretty serious character flaw. I would just ordinarily say that if the spouse has forgiven and/or accepted, then it's not my place to question that. That's between two people.

It's just that when these things occur, there are definitely pivatol moments where choices are made. Regardless of what had occured in the past (if his wife accepted his behaviour, if he'd had other affairs) I think the moment he decided to continue on with the ruse and continue on with the campaign, while she was dying, that just speaks to his complete selfishness.

It might be a good thing he's not president! :lol:

The point is she had not forgiven - the reporters who were writing on the campaign witnessed big ass yelling and screaming about the problem he has with keeping Richard where he belonged on a number of occasions. He was a long time and constant runner - His wife decided to ignore - why - well the children would be one aspect - the next would or could have been she liked the spot light of importance.
He also had an ego as big as all outdoors.

I do hope they convict for fraudulent use of public funds and then going off to see Bubba the Banger whose favorite line Is Ben Dover. Most think that is an introduction. Oh so wrong.

Why he could come out of prison with an ahole as big as his ego. That would negate the use of toilet paper in his future.

In all honesty, I really haven`t followed this story too much. I can`t speculate as to Elizabeth`s reasons for staying with him because it would be just that, speculation. It may possibly be for the reasons you`ve stated, or maybe she was just afraid. I don`t know. Sometimes we do things to make the best of a bad situation.

Ordinarily, under normal circumstances, I would just say that this is an issue between spouses. It just seems in this situation that he went that extra mile in being duplicitous. That`s just my humble opinion.

If he used campaign funds for anything other than a campaign, then he`s broken the law and should be held to task for it.

Suffice it to say that the two individuals who have suffered the most,and will likely continue to suffer, are their children.
