Edwards Back in the Spotlight; Affair Remains in the Dark

The wonderful thing about America is that our memory is so short that even the most despicable of our leaders can ALWAYS make a comeback.

Between his multi-million dollar mansion, 600$ hair cuts and his hedge fund consultant job, Edwards like all other liberal democrats is serious about tackling the issue of poverty. XXX GEE GREG, ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO TAKE A VOW OF POVERTY TO WANT TO HELP PEOPLE IN POVERTY. XXX

Any of you ever hear about forgiveness? what he did was dispicable, especially in light of his wife’s health problems, but he still has a good message. Who can help the poor if not the well heeled? As far as paying liars to speak to students, I believe Newt Gingrich not only got paid to speak to students, he was paid to teach them.

that’s $400 haircuts sir.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone – you know who.

Indiana university is better off donating $35000 to the charity as this man always has used poverty to his political enrichment, has lived and enjoyed lavish life-style not to mention his house and his ” Hair cut”
Democrat should stay away from such politicians.

As a VP candidate in 2004, he did not win his own state . It means they knew him up-close…what we have found out now about him.
As a crusader for poverty do not run around the campuses for the hand out, with rising tuition cost, Indiana university should have better sense before doling out $35000 check.

John Edwards, crawl back under your rock.

Living here in NC, I can tell you that John Edwards has done very little for anyone, unless it is profitable for him. They set up a scholarship fund in Greene County and then shut it down also. I guess he’s just too busy trying to keep up with his wife and mistress.

I’m never surprised anymore when someone is found to have an affair. It seems to be the norm and not the exception. I tend to think lot of this is investigated initially by a political adversary’s aide or employee and then leaked to the press.

Senator Edwards has done alot for raising our conscious about poverty. He is a voice that doesn’t let us forget poverty must be addressed. He is a good man who has taken a couple of wrong turns. Believe me living with someone who is critically ill is very draining and depressing no matter how much you love them. John Edwards got a girlfriend. When I was taking care of my critically ill parents I got a dog. Who’s to say which was better.

Edwards is just way too slick and always has been. Like Palin, he should just go quietly off to do something else.

$35,000 receive for a speech? Somuch for helping the poor!!

male Democrats have affairs with women.. can’t say the same about Republican men.

John Edwards is a horsesarse, but I like and admire Elizabeth Edwards.

OK, all you “good Christians”… there must be a NEW bible out there you’re following… which would explain why you are OBSESSED with people’s sins. This guy did something awful – but not to YOU. His wife wants to deal within the family – everyone knows about it – but can’t we at least be kind to HER and not bring it up at every, every point? And the writer of this article needs to do more than use ‘spell check’ – try not to shoot the articles off till you’ve read them and see if you’ve missed a word. But why was the title of this article “Affair Remains In The Dark”. What sweet morsel of information do you want brought ‘to light’? It’s a very unflattering aspect of your nature to focus on this. OK, he’s back. So what if he has a lot of money? So do a lot of people – the McCains, for example, the Bushes, the Cheneys, etc. etc. The fact that he wants to help the poor – that’s BAD? He doesn’t HAVE to, thank God some people with money are willing to throw their weight and expertise into helping those who are needy.

Can we suggest to Edwards that he step back out of the spotlight? It would be great if he took Ted Stevens, Newt, Bill Clinton, and the rest of the over the hill club in congress with him.

You want to know what John Edward’s biggest problem is? He’s a phony. He is Bill Clinton without any sort of depth or personality. He’s the Democratic Mitt Romney (sans the infidelity) – all style no substance. He should remain out of the spotlight.

GUS: What do you mean ‘male Democrates have affairs with women—can’t say the same abut Republican men.’ Senator John McCain had an affair with Cindy while still married to his first wife–and eventually did marry her–

If your mother is dying from cancer will you refuse chemo treatments for her unless you can locate a dr. who is also dying from cancer and receiving chemo treatments?

******************************************** Of course there are a lot of Republican men who have affairs with women, including Newt Grinwich who had an affair and divorced his wife as she lay on her death bed from cancer.
But more often than not in recent history more Republican men have chosen other men or boys to have their affairs with.

“GUS: What do you mean ‘male Democrates have affairs with women—can’t say the same abut Republican men.’”
I think he was referring specifically to Foley’s torrid emails with teenage boys and Craig’s anonymous hookups in airport washrooms.
I’m certain that there are any number of prominant Republicans whose extramarital affairs are perfectly heterosexual.
What happens between consenting adults (yes, Foley, that means over 18) is not a factor in my consideration of the fitness of a candidate for public office, unless such behavior conflicts very starkly with the candidate’s public position on policy issues (yes, Foley, that includes anti-predator legislation).

Try this on for size:
Attorney General John Edwards.

I’m more than willing to forgive Edwards (for having an affair while his wife was battling cancer…sheesh…my wife gets mad at me if I leave my socks on the floor). But it’s a very different thing to be willing to renew your trust in someone, especially when they are reticent to really come clean. And sorry John (and Bill), but who you are in your private life is who you really are, so I don’t buy into that argument.

Pretty soon Edwards’ indiscretions will be forgotten and he will be an upstanding man, just like Slick Willie Clinton. Obama and his leftist illuminati cabinet will be able to have carte blanche to do what they want because the liberal MSM will be there to cover it up.

John Edwards and his speeches are completely irrelevant —- itis Elizabeth and the hope she (along with countless others) can comeback from terminal cancer…….STAND UP AND BE STRONG ELIZABETH AND PERHAPS GET YOUR HUSBAND TO SIT DOWN AND BE QUIET.

I wish he would stay out of the public eye.

If the top person in our country can have an affair in the Oval Office, lie about it and then be heralded as the best president since sliced bread was invented, then of course Edwards can do it. Our morals are so far down the toilet in this country that Obama and his leftist illuminati cabinet will fit right in.

Those of you who do not want to see or listen or even vote for John Edwards have the right to do so. Those of us who want to hear what he says also have the right to do so.
