Another politician letting everyone down; how trite; maybe Edwards and his gal pal can run off to the salon together for a $400 do.

I guess he’s moved on from shaking down healthcare providers for cold hard cash to shaking down needy women for companionship.

No swiftboats are needed, our politicians are doing fine on their own.

Another political candidate who freely accepts that - Thou shalt not commit adultery - only applies to other people. A sad statement on his marital vows in light of his wife’s ongoing battle with cancer!!

Just goes to show you that all politicians lie! Even the ones that you think are on the straight and narrow. He has denied this affair for so long and was so good at lying makes you wonder what else he is or has lied about.

When it comes to the baby and whether he is the dad or not, if he isn’t then why was he slipping into Rielle’s hotel room at 3AM to see the baby and her? Makes you wonder!! Is he still lying?

I feel no sympathy for him at all and I hope he gets what is coming to him. But I feel extremely sorry for his wife Elizabeth and their kids!

Cindy…Ga.

Ann Coulter is having a field day with this. Poor Elizabeth, she has had to endure so much.

With the constant coverage of John Edwards affair. Why don’t we educate the public of John McCains AFFAIRS on his first wife who stood by and waited for him when he was a POW. Her horrible car accident that left her disabled and John comes home and finds her not as attractive as she once was starts running around and cheating on her. And of course the fact he lied and had an affair with Cindy while still married.

And I have to laugh Wolf just used the term liberal media. Who the hell is the liberal media?????

When I read stuff like this being reported as legitimate news, and especially when I see things like, “Editor’s note: We’ll have live complete coverage of the developing Edwards story tonight at 10pm ET,” IT MAKES ME WISH I WERE FRENCH.

I’m curious to see how McCain reacts to the Edwards story.

McCain (upon return from his captivity in Vietnam) discovered that his first wife (a former beauty queen and the mother of his 3 oldest children) was severely disfigured in an automobile accident. Shortly thereafter, he began a torrid affair with Cindy (wife #2), divorced his wife, and the rest is history.

Come to think of it, Ronald Reagan had an affair with Nancy Reagan during HIS first marriage.

I’m not so sure why people are so quick to throw stones. There’s no shortage of sinners - evangelists, politicians, bankers, priests . . . .

I don’t know why I am so surprised to find that another politician turns out to be a flaming hypocrite or that the only reason John Edwards fessed up is because he wants to remain in good standing in the party and receive a good slot to speak at the convention. John Edwards is a sorry excuse for a man. What could he possibly have been thinking? “My wife just went through grueling treatment for cancer, so I think I will go have an affair.” His behavior simply illustrates his selfishness, cowardice, hypocrisy, and complete disregard for the feelings of others. The manner in which he has behaved toward his wife is unforgiveable. What amazes me is how could he expect American citizens to put their lives, their welfare in his hands when this is how he treats his family, those people closest to him? What is truly sad is that, even if she wanted to, she probably would not live long enough to take him for everything he has.

This actually makes me sad. Elizabeth is such a beautiful loving person. I am so disappointed. This is terrible… and John may even have a child with this mistress. Very very sad.

Stay strong Elizabeth!

I believe it is unfortunate that the media and our society feel that Edwards’ affair is public business. This is a personal matter between Edwards and his family, and it should have remained that way. His affair has not affected us in any way, and it has nothing to do with the important issues that need to be addressed. Furthermore, I believe the media and society has no right to judge Edwards for his actions. If his wife and family have forgiven him for his actions, then the story should end there. If the media and society are really worried about the health of Elizabeth Edwards, then why would you, as the media, make this public. I do not believe Edwards owes his wife a public apology, rather, I believe the media needs to apologize to her for making this public.

I am so disappointed in John Edwards BECAUSE of Elizabeth. She is going through enough trauma in her life. She needs to be surrounded by positive and upbeat energy…what a TRAGEDY for her and her family.
Also I agree John McCann should NOT comment on John Edwards as he did the same to his first wife…meeting and dating Cyndy before he filed for divorce. He is wise to NOT throw stones!

What upsets me most of all (and there’s a lot) is that Edwards was my 18-year-old son’s favored candidate for president. During the debates, Edwards more than anyone touched my son’s idealism. Now I want to say something to my son that will keep his disillusion from becoming outright cynicism. Because I believe that widespread cynicism about government and elected officials is one of our big problems as a society, this betrayal seems to me to be huge.

My heart goes out to Elizabeth Edwards. She has been such an inspiration to all of us in her battle against incurable cancer. I know that she will somehow find the strength to deal with this latest blow. As far as I am concerned, I yearn for the time when we didn’t have to know about a politician’s private life. If JFK’s dalliances had become public knowledge, he never would have become president. Would we really be better off? We want our polticians to be perfect, but unfortunately they are just flawed people, like all of us. Some people here are being harsh and judgmental. I am just disappointed. I don’t want to spew out venom and hate. We have enough of that in the world.

The truth is that this isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. I am truly sad that John Edwards had to hurt his wife as she is trying so valiantly to live out whatever years she has left.

I didn’t want to believe it when I read about it because it was the National Inquirer.But then I read on a blog that the other network was covering.Then I thought have they confirmed it? Maybe CNN wants to be sure before reporting it. All I can think is two things: its a horrendous thing to do to your spouse who is fighting for her life with endstage cancer. Why would he come out here to Cal to visit with her and a baby who isnt even his, for five hours? I think what he has done says everything about who he is. This goes beyond ego. His wife the mother of his children is dying. It shows he is totally detached from reality . Or maybe the real truth is as much as he loves his wife in the caring sense,maybe he’s not attracted to her anymore and he’s ready to move on. Problem is he’s married and his job is to be there for his wife through sickness and goodhealth even endstage cancer. I feel terrible for her. What a total betrayal of trust and respect.

So the Edwards affair in 2006 has bumped a rerun of Black in America? I sure hope it’s not Wolf sitting in. He’s doing 3 hrs about Edwards now and plans to continue it on the Larry King show.

John Edwards didn’t break any laws. He broke a promise to his wife, and deceived others. CNN is giving Edwards more time now than when he was actually running for president. How sad.

What about McCain’s affair with Cindy????? When is he going to come clean about dumping his first wife after she was loyal to him the whole time he was a prisoner of war. When he got home, he promptly started a hot affair with a rich, 15 year younger Cindy and took out a marriage license even before he divorced his first wife! When is McCain going to be man enough to admit his own disloyalty to his first wife and children? I bet you don’t hear a word about McCain’s affair - the media is looking the other way. How come???

This is the most drama-filled political campaign I have ever seen. Just skip the soap operas and turn to CNN - because it seems like there’s “always” something going wrong.

Both Clinton and Obama were doing some heavy courtin’ with Edwards. You would have thought he was the best thing since sliced bread, with good looks. And, now, it turns out to be all smoke and mirrors. He’s been weighed in the balance and found lacking one major factor: character. This is extremely disappointing.

What next?
Rev. Wright is quiet.
Jesse Jackson is quiet.
Clinton will support Obama, but still has a bone to pick after the election is over.

Obama is going to have to fight this thing out for himself. I know this must be really frustrating - every time you look up, there is someone who should have been in his corner either failing to come through, or speaking negatively about him (Rev. Wright & Jesse Jackson), or just not being there wholeheartedly (Bill Clinton) to support him.

However, when all is said and done, I believe after handling Rev. Wright and the ‘kitchen sink’ that was thrown at him - Obama will make it through just fine, thank you. And he will eventually become President of the United States.

If nobody is telling the truth, why do I have to explain my lies?

Could this be why he was getting those $200 haircuts?

My heart goes out to Elizabeth Edwards–having to deal with cancer, & now this. Why did the media have to ‘dig’ for this story?–hasn’t she been through enough? Please, some privacy now, so they can deal with this as they see fit.

I don’t really know about this marriage thing. If a couple like that ends up that way then …I don’t know what to say.

I know that he’s human and that we all make mistakes - but this is going to take some time to sink in - especially to all of his supporters who actually went out and campaigned for him.

Obviously the fact the Elizabeth has terminal cancer makes the story 10 times worse. It’s just so much more sickening. That is really what is breaking the heart of so many (of his current/previous supporters).

As a rule I don’t care about the private lives of famous people, but politicians are a different story.

John Edwards has always presented himself as a faithful husband and caring father and campaigned with his family in order to advance his political career. He even lied during the campaign and his wife kept his secret for him knowing full well that he was lying to the voters. This is a story because he lied and let down the people who believed in him.

There is more than just the affair to consider. Edwards also paid this woman a lot of money to do a job that she was not qualified to do. There are still rumors that she was being paid off by him or someone in his staff.

I don’t understand people who try to excuse Edwards’ guilt by pointing to John McCain. As I recall 360 even included that information in their profile of McCain and the NYT printed an unsubstantiated story about McCain and a lobbyist on the front page of their newspaper so he has not escaped scrutiny.

I wonder how much Edwards’ endorsement of Obama is worth now.

Amen, Rich…I’ll skip the news tonight.; don’t really feel like listening to alll the experts trying to explain why people cheat.
It’s because they think they won’t get caught.

So much for Ms.Coulter’s riff on Johnny being gay. I wish we could just ship the whole lot of them to some deserted isle, never to be heard from again.

Ever notice how the Democrats always release bad news on Friday hoping the dummies won’t notice.? Nice try, but not buying this trick. If John Edwards were a Republican, the MSM would be crucifiying him.

Could this be why he was getting those $200 haircuts?

$400…

Now the republicans are going to eat this one up like a big wedding cake, eat up guys.

Did John Edward meet Ms. Rielle Hunter at a bar? It sound like a set up from the Republican Party.

The problem with American politics is the Media, I can’t beleive after what your country has already been through and is going through that the media is focusing on this crap, no wonder you are all in the mess you’re in. CNN and the inquirer all the same. Who really cares that he had an affair, how about Bob Barr, John McCain??????? Americans should watch CBC news maybe then they will get real news that really matters to Americans and the rest of the world. While you are all watching to find out who is sleeping with who, Russia is invading Georgia??? Politicians are human and this is a private matter between him and his family. The only people I’m dissapointed in is the Media.

All them democrats were setup by the republicans; JFK, RFK, Teddy Kennedy ( is it a dna thing with the Kennedys?) Jesse Jackson, Bill Clinton. Yep, all setup by the republicans.

Thanks, EJ, I had forgotten the exact amount. I just checked and one of those haircuts was actually $1,250 when he flew his stylist from Beverly Hills to Atlanta.

I’m disappointed in Edwards; he showed a big lapse in judgement having this affair. I also feel sorry for his wife who struggles with cancer every day and now has to struggle with the embarrassment and hurt this affair has caused her.

Why are you wasting our time reporting this story like it has ANY BEARING WHATSOEVER ON OUR LIVES? I need a clarification, has CNN become the Inside Edition Channel? I turned on your channel to see news about the Russian/Georgia war where a region of the planet is in chaos and I figured that CNN would spend a second or two covering the story but instead I am flooded with nonstop stories about a good looking rich man cheated on his dying wife(that obviously cannot give him sex). WHO CARES!!! BE A NEWS NETWORK! You are a disgrace to all news organizations, I’d rather watch the propaganda on Fox News than this drek.

Thats funny that the National Inquirer got a tip (like from government evesdroping, maybe?)

John Edwards made a huge mistake, but let us not forget John McCain was having an affair with his current wife while still married to his former wife.

I find it difficult to understand why the pundits on you’re show are amazed that Edwards would run for president knowing he has an affair in his background. Have you forgotton about Kennedy, Johnson and likely Bill Clinton had an affair before he ran for President. And who knows who else. Hello!

Edwards says that he finally admitted publicly to the affair because being “99% honest was no longer enough”. I guess he thinks that by vehemently denying the affair, he was being 1% dishonest! I am going to forgive him for this stupid statement because he is afterall just a sleazy trial lawyer.

While we are sitting in judgment of John Edwards, let us take heed to ourselves; for its written, “Let him without sin cast the first stone”, and it did not just mean the sin of adultry. So while we are casting stones at, others, because of their sins, let us keep in mind, we are yet among the living. Just because we are not walking in John Edwards shoes today, does not mean that his shoes could not fit our feet tomorrow.
I can not understand how a people, so blessed, and so Christian minded, could be so cold and so unforgiving; even God forgives our sins. He even sent his Son to die, not for his own sin, but for the sin of the world. But yet we feel no compassion for one of our brother’s who has fallen by the wayside.
Just think: if the children of Israel had passed judgment upon Moses, as judgment has been passed upon John Edwards, they would not have left Egypt. Moses was a murderer, yet God chose him to free the children of Israel from Egypt.
David was a great King, who was anointed to be king, while yet in his teens. But after becoming an adult and taking his place as King, he fell weak and comitted adultry. he, then, gave orders to put the husband on the front line, in the military, so he could be killed to cover this sin. Yet God said, David was a man after his own heart. Why? Because, despite his sins, he had a humble heart and was quick to repent.
Also remember, if we want God to forgive our sin, then we must also forgive the sins of others. “Forgive and ye shall be forgiven.”
Let us take heed to ourselves, lest we be destroyed by our own lack of love, and compassion, one for the other. “Love ye one another, as I have loved you.” Remember John Edwards is not God, he is just a mere man, just as Bill Clinton was just a mere man. So if we could forgive Bill Clinton, we can also forgive John Edwards, for God has no respect of person, and neither should we.
Is this the kind of image we want the neighboring countries to see, a country without mercy, without forgiveness, and without love one for the other?

Anderson Cooper NEEDS to leave the John Edwards’ story alone. He LOVES to BADGER PEOPLE and a story to THE POINT OF bordering on INSANITY on his part. Obviously he’s attempteing to elevate CNN’s ratings and feather his own nest, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Perhaps someone at CNN can find him a Bible while he’s demeaning people via the air waves and open it for him TO THE CHAPTER where Jesus made the famous statement, “HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN, LET HIM CAST THE FIRST STONE”.

I was an Edward’s supporter (it’s not easy being a democrat in Texas; I’m sure I’ll be hearing about this story a lot in the next few days) & am heartsick for Elizabeth Edwards. I was always saying, what I liked best about John Edwards, was his devotion to his family. The fact that he would cheat on his wife (not at all uncommon), while she was dealing with breast cancer, …well, I don’t have the words for what I think about this (this is my 1st comment, but I read the “rules” beforehand). I guess I’ll have to quote my sister, “it’s shameful”.

I completely disagree with the comments being made on AC360 pertaining to the fact that should John Edwards have been the Democratic nominee, the Democrats chances of regaining the White House would have been lost. Ask any Democrat what their opinion of Clinton’s 8 years in the White House is, and you will see not only Democrats, but Republicans will all speak highly of the job that he did. The US International relationships were at an all time best, the economy was stable, yet he was a married man, receiving oral sex from an intern, and denied every bit of it until he was backed into a corner with proof. Does his personal life really have anything to do with the job he does. Is there anyone out there that is completely clear of sin, or wrong doing, who can step up to be the 1st person ever to toss that 1st stone of condemning others for their mistakes, and lies that they hope will cover their mistakes. Let the mans politics speak for itself, not his personal achievements or defeats. As you sit and judge him, think of all the things you have done in your own life that you wish you could take back, but instead, I wonder why you haven’t decided to do the upstanding thing by telling your friends and family, disclosing everything to all that you may have hurt, but have not fessed up to. Just think, should you be discovered, now you will be looked at and judged against the fact you also lied by hiding your mistakes. It’s a no win situation, and there are none above mistake in this world. Let his work stand on it’s own, and his private life stay private just as your own life is.

enough already!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sick of hearing about everyones affairs. As long as my tax dollars were not used ( like Clinton’s affair) it’s none of my business. His wife forgave him and their marriage has survived. I admire both of them for it. Lets move on.

Why can’t Edwards show up at the convention? What does THIS have to do with that?

Sad but it happens. You need to give equal time to John McCain dumping his ex-wife years ago for his current young wife Cindy McCain. It appears they all get caught up in it even the past Bush.

Geez, many of these politicians have egos the size of spaceships. Could be a big reason why they enter politics in the first place…..and with big egos, big sex drives (for many of them)….coupled with the fact that they have many women flinging themselves at them, power being a big aphrodisiac to many people.

Lest we get ahead of ourselves, let’s remember that John McCain had extramarital affairs while married to his first wife (the wife that stood by him while he was a POW) and then promptly divorced her once he met Cindy. Ross Perot spoke about how McCain might of left his first wife because he came home from Vietnam to a wife who then walked with a limp, because she had sustained a terrible automobile accident while he was away. I wish we would keep our microscopes focused more on their policies, than their personal lives.

Rosie & Jorge I could not have said it better. I don’t understand how people can be so judgemental and say such negative things about someone else. We ALL have sinned and come short, according to God’s word. I would suggest to all of those who are so critical of John Edwards, Kwame Killpatrick, Bill Clinton and others who have done wrong to open their bibles, if they have one, and read the book of Psalms 51st. chapter. Remember when you point a finger at someone else, you have three pointing back at you.

yep, we need to go over FDR, JFK, RFK, Teddy Kennedy, Michael Kennedy Smith, Jesse Jackson, MLK (there’s a reason his FBI records remain sealed) and of course Bill Clinton. What next, an obama scandal?

From the McCain posts it seems everybody already knows about him, even I’d know about that for years as its pretty common knowledge, but who knew about the guy who could have become the next POTUS?

Okay, I’m sick about this. I’m a Republican, but am from NC and liked John Edwards. I thought he was a true family man. My heart and prayers go to his lovely wife and to him, because he will have to live with this one for the rest of his life. The one thing I don’t get though, is this man is no longer running for President. And because he is being crucified on CNN tonight his political career is over. Why is what he did so horrible, while as our President of the United States, Bill Clinton had an affair, lied about it continuously and nothing happened. For God’s sake, he was voted in as President again. So why is he so holy and John Edwards is the devil. I really wish someone could explain that to me!!!!!

If we believe there is a God, and there is a heaven and a hell, and God has said that no sin shall enter into his kingdom, (which is why it pays to forgive and ask for forgiveness quickly).; What will be our explanation when our sins are made public, for all to hear?
What answer will we give when called in question concerning the codemning of John Edwards?
Being a busy body in someone else matters, is a sin:Thinking evil of another, is a sin; Having respect of person is a sin. In God’s eyes there is no little sin and big sin, its just sin. In God’s eye, should a man or woman look upon one another, or even one of the same gender, and lust in their heart, they have committed adultry already in their own heart. How many stand guilty of sinning in their heart? The heart is what God judges. For it is he who judges that which man’s eye can not see.

We all have sinned??? He was so high and mighty while running for president, telling all of us how to live.
The real sin is so called (REAL) news organizations like ABC, CNBC, and CNN that they did not break this and it was a tabloid. Start reporting news instead of worrying about what will get a democrat elected and hiding what will not.

DO YOUR JOB

Maybe all he did was the same as Clinton did so it really wasn’t SEX!!!

That John Edwards had an affair and tried to hide it, is regrettable, but only shows that he is human. His reaction is no different than how most men or women would behave in the same situation whether they are famous or not. No one likes to admit that they had poor judgment, hurt people they love, and then try to avoid responsibility for their actions.

Let’s leave the Edwards family alone so they can heal.

why do men have to be so cruel? its not just Edwards, its all those posers out there who pretend to be a loving faithful christian man while sleeping with anyone but their wifes.

What really disgusts me is not Edward’s affairs but the willingness and tenacity of the media to follow such an incident as if it in public’s best interest.
Anyone who had his wife’s and family’s best interests at heart would not air such a story as it will undoubtedly cause more heartache in an already turbulent time for them.
This is a private matter for Edward’s and his family to hash out on their own without dealing with the stress of the public eye on them.
I do not believe this effects his competency as a politician. I in no way condone this behavior and while I hope his family is able to move past this, I know these actions have not effected me or had any negative impact on the public as a whole. Politicians have made much more harmful decisions and have not received such scrutiny.
I just wish the media would for once, as a whole, work in the public good and not copycat tabloids which at least do not pretend to benefit us.
Anderson Cooper has so much more potential than to be the person to report on this story and I wish he could see and live by that.

TO STACY’S COMMENT–EDWARDS ADMITTED TO THE AFFAIR AFTER HE WAS CAUGHT RED HANDED–NO OTHER REASON!!!
If the Enquirer had not caught him in his LIE, he would have contuined to Lie, he just decided to admit to it BEFORE THE Enquire got their story out.

John McCain has NEVER Lied about him and Cindy, as Did not Regan. Edwards LIED!

May I ask why that is that no one says a word about Elizabeth Edwards’d dishonesty to the public! Do you get my point? If you are smart, you do….

While forgiving your husband, Mrs. Edwards, for having an extramarital affair is a personal matter and it’s no one’s bussiness to tell you what you should do, approving and supporting your husband to run for president, when in fact you were aware that your husband was covering up his ugly past and repeatedly lying to the media about it WAS NOT a personal matter for you to forgive. In other words, you had a responsibility and you owed it to the American public. You could have said something like this: “Okay John, I love you and I forgive you for your mistake, but I can’t support you to run for president, when I know at some point (when the question comes up) you have to EITHER lie to the public , betray their trust and make a fool out of yourself, OR humiliate me publicly by being honest with them, and I CAN NOT do that to myself, to my kids and to the public who are going to invest so much in us.” which translates to: “Hey my disgusting husband, since you did this to me when I was battling with cancer and I now know about it, then you have no business running for president expecting me to be at you side. Because I can not be dishonest (like you) with people and I don’t want to be placed in a position that I have to pretend everything is fine and danddy and back you up in your lies”.

When, for God sake, will women stopped acting like being a victim is an honor or a sign of strength? In my mind she is as guilty as her husband in lying to the public by agreeing to continue supporting him to run his campaign and by being “the perfect” wife who supported (actually enabled) her cheating husband to continue repeating his lies to the public, when she knew all about it. Let’s be honest, she’s a smart and educated woman, she chose to support her husband to run for the highest office when she knew he was not being honest. All she needed to do was to make him to drop out of the race as soon as she was told about the affair and no one would have probbed their private life to create this mess. I CAN NOT believe she made that statement today, still accusing the media for “lying” about her husband being the father of that baby. What difference does it make? I’m so sorry lady, but please, shut the hell up, get yourself out of denial and get some serious help.

I’m equally mad at her, sorry folks…

IN GOD AMERICANS TRUST.I think because Americans trust in GOD, that is why, this time, GOD did not wait for them to have John Edwards as their president and so dropped him as early as possible, to avoid another repeat of a democratic sex scandal, similar to one of the previous democratic administration.In Africa, having an extra marital affair is too weak a point to affect your political carrier.Besides I have one question to ask all who look for sex scandals, especially journalists, that, is it only male politicians and other male public figures who fall on your sex traps or that women too get on them but you let them off-hook for reasons known to yourself ?

Edwards gonna be the headlines for the next 6 or so months, Hell get over it we’ve heard enough about this affair if it was ‘ol 6 pack there would be nothng. enough is enough get with the daily news.

I would like to comment on this latest story that is prevalent on the news today regarding John Edwards. First, I would say that he who is without sin cast the first stone. I am sick and tired of us vetting peoples personal lifes out before the media and I personally do not consider it a story of any significance when we look at what is really going on in the world today. I would just ask that we examine ourselves and see how many of us could stand the scrunity that many of those in politics have gone through. I consider myself a person that loves this country and wants the best for us; but, I would never run for public office because I have skeletons in my closet that are not public knowledge and I don’t want them to be. I think that John Edwards is a great man and that any position that he would be considered for he would be an assest. I applaud Elizabeth Edwards for standing with her husband and I pray that she will not let those of you in the media decide the fate of their lives. I also hope that you guys will scruntinze yourself in the reporting of this story. Focus on what the issues are not the mistakes that people make in their personal lives.

It should be no surprise by now that wealth and power tends to dull the moral and ethical sensibilities of many who seek to be, and have been, our leaders. There are no religious boundaries, There are no poltical boundaries. The fact that an individual of wealth, power and celebrity has had a sexual affair is probably not much of a surprise to most of us. What I believe is most damaging is the long public trail of denial and lies. I think he would have found forgiveness, if not understanding, in the general public had he admitted, yes - my wife and I are having marital problems but we are working them out and ask for our privacy on this matter. The fact that Edward’s turned his back on his wife to pursue his political ambitions and sexual pleasure at a time when she needed his support in her battle with cancer is particularly low.

Wait ONE minute - it has always been said IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO.
Now tell me - WHO was the Hunter - no pun intended - that gal named Riella Hunter saw a good thing when she met it - yeah in a Bar - get off it. Yes, John Edwards has made a huge mistake, hurt his family perhaps beyond repair and lied to the American people and his fans and campaign workers BUT why don’t I hear any harsh words about “her” - yes, that Hunter. Why no name of the Father yet revealed. Senator Edwards, have that Paternity test done and fast - if it is positive then take the consequences but don’t let a 42 year old “gal” take you to the cleaners. NEWS MEDIA “WHY” are we not hearing about her past - come on be fair and let’s have the full story. At least he did not misuse the OVAL OFFICE - do you remember?

Follow the money.
Who is paying?
Where does the money originate?
How is it being distributed?

All you Obama supporters better beware. I hear The National Enquirer, has a lovely little story about Obama, having a LOVE CHILD. Wouldn’t it be real funny if they managed to get Two stories right in One Election Year.

Read a great column on Huffington post this evening. The article’s main thrust (ooooh, a sly innuendo) was that Elizabeth Edwards was just as much an enabler for John’s behavior. . .in effect, the pain she’s feeling now from this affair coming to light is partly because she knew BEFORE Edwards announced for the candidacy he was having this affair. . .they apparently dealt with it, and somehow, amazingly felt that it would not come to light if he did run for office.

All the media is abuzz with the question: Is Edwards’ s political career over? None of the commentaries or news shows tell the listener that we have a candidate running for President right now who committed adultry–McCain. He cheated on his first wife with the ever mechanical Cindy. So if mcCain can do it and end up as a Presidential candidate, why can’t Edwards remain in politics too?

From a person fighting breast cancer, I’m sure that Elizabeth has bigger things on her mind (believe it or not) than who her husband slept with. She is fighting for her life and should only be focusing on her health; not a stupid husband. It is unfortunate that we, the public will not give her the room or privacy to do this.

If we need a good cheating story then let’s share McCain’s story as he is running for president and complaining about getting equal airtime!

I’m a little bit disappointed, but I feel if his wife forgives him, maybe we should let this rest. For all those feeling so sorry for her, why not give her a little peace and stop with the theatrics? It would have been a bad situation if he were to have won the primary but that didn’t happen.
Maybe we should try to stay out of the private lives of our politicians or at the very least, not blow it out of proportion. Like he lied….OMG. He may have lied about this, (an affair) but it doesn’t mean he lies about everything or that he is unfit to serve in public office. I think we need to get over ourselves!
