Elizabeth Edwards Breaks Silence About Husband’s Affair

Poor women. She should get together with John McCain’s ex-wife. Maybe she could help her through this difficult time.

There is nothing “poor” about Elizabeth Edwards. She embodies the true spirit of a strong Southern woman. Her life won’t be defined by what has happened to her, but rather how she gets beyond it to what is really meaningful. I believe she told us: her children and changing health care for America.

Elizabeth Edwards is a total class act. I have always admired her for her efforts on heath care and other issues. To me she is someone who stands for “strong values.” Not some of the pretenders out there.

For John, it probably wasn’t his first affair, nor will it be his last. However, it was the one he was “caught” in. Mrs. Edwards will be an “enabler” if she turns a blind eye. Bill Clinton is cut from the same mold. Sleazy, creeps. No integrity.

Stop harassing Elizabeth Edwards, for allegedly *standing by her man*
UNTIL you’ve walked in her shoes, no one can say what she is doing is wrong.
Yes he cheated, yes it was especially hurtful and terrible under the circumstances, but, do WE decide how she should deal with it?
It is a personal family matter, that needs to be put to rest. Sadly her children will or have already dealth with it and the aftermath.
She is doing what she believes in her heart is right for all involved.
You can’t just throw away being married to someone for 30 years, who is the father of your children.
Not know how long she has left, do you spend that time hating your spouse? Asking your children to pay the price?
She’s doing what SHE needs to do, so everyone just BUTT OUT. Let her live her life her way, having cancer can give you perspective that the general population cannot possibly understand.
She has clarity of what’s most important in her life, we need to RESPECT that!

Sorry Emma should have been Rob Paul and whom ever these 2 haven’t a clue and don’t even agree on any of the main issues listen to them he says one thing and she says just the opposite. As For the Edwards since I am not without sin I will not cast the first stone and neither should anybody else. This is all between the 2 of them not the whole damm country.

Pack his bags. Set him out. The children have two people to look upon as role models. Step up to the plate and put him out. Tell the children frankly and honestly. I loved your dad, I love you more than life, but I will not have him around as we build a life of integrity and love – your dad hasn’t found that yet. Never put yourself in the position of having a child ask you years from now – why in the name of heaven did just roll over, shrug your shoulders and say it was for us kids? Come on Mom, no one takes self-pride and esteem from my Mom, no one including my father who made the mistake.

The reason I’m angry at John Edwards is because he hurt her. This has NOTHING to do with us. He betrayed his wife. McCain’s affair certainly isn’t hurting him in the polls. This is a private family matter.

Sorry for what’s she’s going through and hope she can survive. However, I’m disgusted by the fact that she knew he wasn’t who she said he was and yet she “kept quiet”, allowing thousands of good folks to have faith in her husband. This was deceitful and a very dishonorable thing to do. I therefor I have a real hard time believing anything she says or supporting anything she does. Whether it’s the economy or family or friends-confidence is everything and I have no confidence in her.

While I have absolutely nothing good to say about John Edwards, I have nothing but admiration for Elizabeth Edwards. She certainly deserves better than she has with John.

Mrs. Edwards, I am not in your shoes, none of is are. Do what you need to do for you and stay strong.
In reality, being that Sen. Edwards is no longer in the running for president, it’s none of our business how you choose to live your life. We do not know everything that goes on behind closed doors.
Stay strong..first and foremost..for you. That strength will then trickle down to your children.
Blessings of healing.

Emma, she’s the one who said she didn’t blink before agreeing. And if you believe they vetted her for 4 months just because Mccain now says so, I’m not the only one who is stupid.

Congratulations to Mrs. Edwards for weathering this storm and continuing to care for the people of the United States. Healthcare for ALL Americans is a very important issue — much more important than bailing out the various financial institutions.

Fortunately, Elizabeth Edwards has not been subjected to Obama’s campaign tactics–like this:
Behold the anti-free speech tactics of the “Obama Action Wires” talking points that left wing activists are using to try to intimidate opponents and overwhelm radio station phone systems.
It’s the same oppressive mindset that is behind other intimidation tactics, such as the release and abuse of the Palin family’s phone number, the hacking of Sarah Palin’s email account, and the unrelenting “opposition research.” They now go far beyond debating the qualifications and judgment of candidates, and now have adopted tactics meant to bully, slander, smear and humiliate the candidates, their spouses, and even minor children of candidates.
Today’s progressive radicals still have the mindset of Bill Ayers, they’ve merely found new tactics to employ.
Bristol Palin is being harassed by a petty celebrity trying to goad her into having an abortion. Others, having discovered family telephone numbers, have left obscene messages demanding nude photos.
How long until unhinged “progressive” activists target Willow Palin, a 14 year-old girl, with unfounded rumors designed to sully her reputation? (Answer: They already have).
How about elementary school-aged Piper? When are they going to insist she’s being molested, or is deviant in some way?
How about baby Trig? Many pro-abortionists are already irate the Down’s Syndrome child was allowed to live.
What is next, Obamaphiles? I shudder at the thought.
Update: The bullying tactics of the official Obama campaign revealed:
A message goes out over Barack Obama’s Web site with the names, phone numbers and e-mails of editors and producers foolish enough to host Obama critics. With Mr. Obama’s extensive digital following, and his extensive fund-raising and contact lists, shutting up the Democratic nominee’s critics with a fraction of Mr. Obama’s millions of supporters is relatively simple. The digital legions plug phone lines, crash servers and intimidate the advertisers of these media outlets. This must be another instance of the “new” politics that Mr. Obama frequently talks about.

alice…Nasty statement..guess there is always one who will take advantage of someones pain and suffering and turn it into a political dig…Are you sure you are a alice or al…

If exposing Obama’s hypocrisy and Mayor Daley-style political thuggery is sick–I don’t want to be well.

So this is news?

islemom: You are referring to JOHN MCCAIN, right? Because he has had many affairs – the marriage to Cindy was the culmination of one of them. So…. McCain?

I know of a lot of people that died froma a broken faith. Mrs. Edwards, you need to stay strong so you can be with us in the coming year.

No respect for a woman that allows and supports her husband to run for President of our country when she knew about this affair. They played a dangerous game and took a huge risk. They were just lucky it didn’t come out while he was campaigning.

Better for kids to COME from a broken home than to LIVE in one.
What are these kids learning from all of this ??

I admire Elizabeth Edwards. Frankly, it’s her life & her choice to stay with her husband. She’s terminally ill and has to think about her children. She’s dedicating the rest of her life to healthcare reform. An issue we will all deal with at one point in our lives. I admire her for directing her fight to the right issue. Otherwise, I would agree with OnTheGloryRoad to set an example for her children and pack HIS bags. John Edwards will have to live with the dirty deeds he’s done to his wife and children. If he had a conscience he wouldn’t have done this to his wife in the first place. Especially a woman battling cancer. PIG

I sympathize with the additional pain this affair has caused Mrs. Edwards. I blamed her for laying to us about John Edwards being such a good man (and women’s advocate) even after she knew it wasn’t true and had found out about the affair. But I now think she must have been in shock and was just continuing mindlessly to do and say what she had been saying before.

Look Mrs. Edwards, everyone sympathizes with your emotional and physical pain, but please don’t pull a Hillary. Dump the liar who has rubbed your face in it like Bill did Hillary. Money and Power are not worth selling your soul for as Hillary did!

If having cancer imparts sainthood, then I’m a saint. I know first-hand that cancer doesn’t afford you a “free pass”. Quite the opposite, you have limited time to make things right.
True North 8 – chew on this one for a while.

The Edwards family needs to not let John’s mistake ruin their whole lives. This is one mistake. It is a big mistake, but you can’t define a person by one mistake or sin.
Who would like their whole life to be defined by a stupid decision and action?

These people who judge must surely have darker demons in their closets.

ABC patting themselves on the back for some alleged “exclusive” confession by Edwards. Who did the leg work on that story?
When you go into the voting booth who can you TRUST?
McCain-Palin 2008.

She should divorce the SOB and take him for everything he has. He doesn’t deserve her.

John’s admission to this affair was something we the public needed to know, it speaks of his core vales which all voters should know.
Elizabeth’s reaction and personal resolve to this issue is not our business and we all should let her be. It is now a family manner, of no importance to anyone but the family and we should keep our noses out of their business.

These people who judge must surely have darker demons in their closets.

they always do…unhappy with there own lives, they look for the mistakes in others, to er is to be human, there is no one sin greater then the other..

I agree, ABC Bias. It is dangerous when such a one-sided bias exists. You are accurate too in your assessment of the reporting done by most of the media outlets regarding Edwards’ affair when he was running in the Primary. We might as well be living in China and listening to the “State run” media… we don’t receive honest coverage.

There’s nothing but pain that comes from adultery. I advise nobody to do it. People always find out (when you fool yourself into thinking that they won’t)and then the course of life changes irrevocably for the parties involved and their families. Everyone suffers. It’s not worth a few minutes of pleasure, when the stakes are so high..risks of disease(s) and pregnancy, along with the potential loss of family and self-esteem. God made it a sin for a reason, because he knew that it would hurt us.

This would be a private family matter. If, they weren’t in the public eye.

I agree about it not being strickly a “family matter” – he was running in the Primaries for president!! The Dems applaud every bit of dirty info that can be obtained on Palin from tanning beds to what color underwear she is wearing… but not in this case. Which way do you want it?

I would hope to never be confronted with the burdens and challenges she has had to face; however, if so, I would hope to carry them with the same grace and courage she is doing. The true NC style.

For those who feel that you shouldn’t vote for Democrats because Edwards had an affair, McCain had a five year affair with Cindy before he dumped the wife who stood by him during his POW years. (She’d also been in a terrible accident so he’s an especially “great” guy.) So, you’re going to vote FOR a “scumbag” because Edwards is a scumbag?!

would hope to never be confronted with the burdens and challenges she has had to face; however, if so, I would hope to carry them with the same grace and courage she is doing. The true NC style.

How true, The courage, The Strength, the Grace and the Dignity this women carries in the midst of great struggles and tragedies in her life, she still manages to have Respect and Honor for herself and her family. I pray for continued strength, I pray for peace of mind, and peace that surpasses all understanding in this time of struggle, I pray for quiet, I pray for joy.
I pray that people let them have this private time to handle this situation in the way that THEY see fit.

I don’t know what Elizabeth Edwards is thinking of, calling a news conference about the affair six weeks before the election. It’s irresponsible.

Ms. Edwards is the epitome of grace and class. I do not feel “sorry” for her. I admire and respect her. Do I empathize with her? Certainly. Yet, private matters, even of public figures, should remain private and those of us who say otherwise should publicly clean out our own closets before passing judgment. My sister died of breast cancer. My sister-in-law is dying of incurable breast cancer. Her insurance “ran out.” She is having to fight the system for her treatments. I am a single mother, with a graduate degree, and I also have a disabled child. I do not know how I am going to repay my student loans. My job prospects become slimmer each day because I must work my hours around the needs of my child. That’s what mothers do (Ms. Palin). I have not had health insurance in more than three years and cannot afford private insurance. I have seriously considered moving my child and myself to another country that does have universal health care. Yet, I love my country, but my options, along with millions of others are few and far between. Listen to Ms. Edwards. Listen to Senator Clinton. Let’s please get some health care on the platform before we lose more of our most valuable resources…our people.

I salute Mrs. Edwards for spending this time on health care for everyone, when she could be sitting back, using her own health care insurance. but realizing that there are millions of people out there without that advantage, she chooses to try to help others. We need a fix, and we need it now.

I absolutely love this women. She is class incarnate. Kuddos Elizabeth. We love you!

“She should divorce the SOB and take him for everything he has. He doesn’t deserve her.”….yeah, that’s a great way for your kids to remember their last days with you, in complete pain conflict and turmoil. Every day Elizabeth has is a blessing and that is how she is living her life. She is a strong women. SHe probably wants to strangle him but when she’s gone, he is all they have and it is always good for kids to close to their parents. She’s not going to do anything to make them angry at him for their own good. What a women!

This woman is a class act. The media is just trying to discredit her. She doesn’t want her personal life put out there so some people can pass judgement. How many of the media writing the foul stories have had affairs or have had their spouses have an affair. Her children shouldn’t need to be punished by the media with the stories about their father or how the media “thinks” their mother ought to handle their prsonal affairs. Leave them alone. Clean your own house before you go throwing stones. Yeah, he made a mistake…he sinned, but guess what folks, it’s all the same, so let he who is without sin cast the first stone!

Elizabeth Edwards is as much a deflector and a liar as her husband. She KNEW of her husband’s recent infidelity and LIED to the American people, leading them to vote for her husband and knowing that if that information got out (and it DID!) after he was chosen as the Democratic candidate, the entire democratic party would have lost the election. She stood behind him when he lied to all the American people. Shame on her.
I feel zero sympathy for her. May he cheat on her until her last breath!

Although I am sorry that Mrs Edwards is sick with incurable cancer she is a typical politican…..she believed that it was ok for her and her husband husband to lie to the American people so that they could further their political ambitions….just like Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton did for so many years….talk about self absorbed!

She’s a lawyer/politician’s wife, she knew he messed around..get over it!

None of this is anyone’s business. Your talk of sin and stones; democrat and republican hypocrisy mixed with the trailer-trash talk of divorce and the cleaners prove but one thing. None of you have meaningful lives and even less meaningful opinions.

Did anyone watch the video! It’s amazing, this woman is an expert on healthcare and health insurance because she is married to an adulterous senator and she was cancer? Give me a break! This is another example of one of those “catch 22” situations the conservatives find themselves in when a liberal like Mrs. Edwards speaks out and it is covered by the main stream media (which it always is). The catch? Mrs. Edwards is portrayed as strong and noble when she uses her illness in a political battle (i.e. she has cancer so she is “fighting for universal healthcare”) and gets a puff piece on ABC that mixes an Edwards’ “private matter” with politics; her appearance before a congressional committee where she gets to bash John McCain. If conservatives respond to a quote to Mrs. Edwards’ telling the committee “Neither one of us would be insured under his [McCain] healthcare plan,” that they do not believe taxpayers should foot the healthcare bill for someone worth over 100 million dollars the dems are sure to shriek “Oh those mean, nasty conservatives want everyone with cancer to die” or “want to deny healthcare to the poor!” or “leave this poor woman alone she has cancer!” or “that’s a private family matter!” then the media repeat their manta ad nauseam.

I admire Elizabeth for thinking of her family and short time left first; however, as an adult woman who’s father had an affair and then married the woman 6 weeks after he divorced my mother, I say kick the bum out. My relationship with my father is completely different now. I give him the basic respect a father should get, but none of the warmth and love. He’s actually getting back now, what he’s given to his children all his life — the cold shoulder. He was always more interested in the “glory” of being the good guy for other people rather than his wife and kids. Elizabeth may not be doing her kids any favors by keeping the “myth” of their good-guy dad alive.

Elizabeth Edwards is as much a deflector and a liar as her husband. She KNEW of her husband’s recent infidelity and LIED to the American people, leading them to vote for her husband and knowing that if that information got out (and it DID!) after he was chosen as the Democratic candidate, the entire democratic party would have lost the election. She stood behind him when he lied to all the American people. Shame on her.
I feel zero sympathy for her. May he cheat on her until her last breath!

I think the word is Empathetic, I dont think any REAL women would want to know or deal with the fact that throughout all they we have been through my husband, who I took vows with, for better or for worse in sickness and in health would step out of our marriage and bring another person in, I empathize with her, that person could be me, It makes me greatful that I have not had to deal with that, Marriage is hard enough.
SO what if or when she knew about it, she did what anyone women would do in their marriage and stand by her man..
a HELP MATE for her husband, She didnt lie SHE just didnt tell you HER personal business.

I applaud the courage of Mrs.Edwards. She and her family are a private family and should not be hit on unless invited in. They will get through it without the prying eyes of the media or peeping toms.

Anyone else notice that she wasn’t wearing a wedding ring? I read a comment yesterday on another site and sure enough the video above also show a lack of a ring. Maybe she has finally seen the light and her own comments does not specify if she’s still with him, she just said she wants to create a better image for her children. Nothing about them still together. I also read that her husband has been hiding in a different house. If I was Elizabeth, I would make sure to secure her children’s financial stability for the future and take John Edwards for every penny so that mistress can forget her “dream”.

Elizabeth Edwards is fighting for her life and kicking the SOB out of the house is not the best thing for her kids or her recovery at this time. She is taking the high road and putting her energy on her own recovery and ask any child who has gone through ugly (and not so public) divorce which they would choose. It would seen children, regardless of their parents faults, want no one else but Mommy and Daddy to raise them and keep their home secure as possible. A divorce would be very disruptive and hard to understand at the age of the Edward’s children and I think she is putting her children first. As she described having her feet under her I know that it feels when your whole world has crumbled and you have had your feet knocked out from under you. I hated the other woman and realized that was wasted energy and forgiveness is a personal choice that I have been unable to make; however, 20 years later my son and daughter have thanked me for staying and allowing them to have their father while I hid my feelings of ill will toward their father and they understand now how hard and what a sacrifice it was on my part and I have their love and respect which is worth more than ever getting “even” and kicking their father out. I rose up and awarded myself the self respect I deserved and confidence to go on the best I could under the circumstances and my children were better children for the home I kept in tact just for them while they had close relationship with both parents through their young and teen years. This is the most painful thing Elizabeth Edwards or any woman can go through but she is a person of great character and strength and will win this battle. If John Edwards has any character or humanity, he will beat himself up forever for this inexcusable behavior. She must focus on all the positive within and let him hate himself.

The one thing that bothers me most (and I am certainly NOT criticizing her for this) is the picture she is presenting for her children (daughters in mind)..
Sosad…
SoSad, I would have to somewhat disagree with you, who knows what is going on at home, behind close doors, away from the media, you cannot say personally that you know what is going on… My grandparents were married for about 60+ years until my grandfathers death, there is no telling what went on in their marriage, the different hardships they had to deal with, the different things my grandmother had to deal with, but she believed in her marriage, Divorce was not an option. I think that is honorable when you can teach your child that the vows that I took I meant them, that means for better or for worse, if you teach your children this contract this marriage, it is not an option… Not I dont want it anymore so i want a divorce and then move on to the next.That is the problem with todays society, this Instant Happiness society, the moment things get hot, we want a magic pill or something to take it way.
My Hat goes off to her, for being courages enough to deal with THE REAL WORLD.

I don’t care what she has to say!!! She let that little twerp of a husband run for President when she knew the facts! She wasn’t looking out for her family then. These arrogant, egotistical & myopic idiots like Edwards & Obama who run for POTUS are only thinking of themselves!!! They don’t give a d*** about the People!! King Edwards King Obama!!!

Dear lovingpolitics,
…and your point is??? She “let” him run for President? “Self” and “People” are not synonymous.

I understand why Elizabeth Edwards made her decision. As a divorced cancer survivor, my children will have no one else but their father when I die. Mrs. Edwards recognizes that when she is gone, her children will need their father and will do everything in her power to not make this family relationship divisive. She is thinking of her children and not herself and her own wounds. Yes, he is a jerk; yes, he is not trustworthy, and 99% of wives would have divorced him. She is doing what is best for her children. God, what strength this woman has. I admire her. We should all admire this decision. It is what a mother would do; it is not what just a wife would do.

I admire Elizabeth for her strength, character, and intelligence. I’m so glad she is using her experience with cancer to help fight for those of us who can’t afford to get sick in this country. Go Elizabeth!!

No one knows what goes on in the Edwards house. Elizabeth is preparing her children to survive with their dad after she passes on. Hopefully, God will grant her many more years to see the younger two through the teenage years especially if John is seriously thinking about being together with Rielle Hunter after Elizabeth gone(as the National Enquirer reported in there 8/25/08 issue).

Who cares. They did a dumb thing to continue with the primaries with their secret affair information to the side and her illness. They both smell funny. John and Elizabeth gambled with our future for what? At least he is staying out of the spotlight. It wasn’t so much the act of the affair as the lying about it that floors me. Is she talking with the children in tow like John and his campaign? Are we suppose to forget and forgive that they almost ruined our democracy? Is John back to chasing ambulances?

It has become very obvious that our media is very bias in its reporting of our daily life events. We are no longer allowed to think for ourselves. Things that we believe and hold dear to our heart are ridiculed and demined. We, the citizens of the United States of America are slowly being destroyed by the media. They keep us so caught up in fighting our little battles amongst ourselves that we ignore that we are losing the war (A house divided will fail). Shame on us all for allowing the media to deliberately manipulate our thinking just because we happen to agreement with their current option or bias. What about tomorrow when they decide to manipulate our thinking in a way that we disagree with? Every citizen of this county has an obligation to keep the media non-bias and balanced and should refuse to accept it even if they are in agreement. It is a two-edged sword that cuts both ways, it’s just a matter of time. Do you want your grandchildren to believe what they believe based on what the executive of the media giants want them to believe? Do you want to pick a president based on the biases of the media? We laugh at all the jokes about the different candidates running for office. The joke on us, the media thinks us fools and if we don’t take a stand for what is right then fools we are.

As a victim of infidelity I can say that being cheated on is one of the hardest things in the world to deal with, but it is even harder to find the strength to not simply run away from the relationship and actually give both yourself and the relationship time to decide if leaving or staying is in your best interest. This experience tells me that Elizabeth Edwards is a very, very strong person. These are the kind of family values we should be praising, the strength to stay together and to heal even against the inevitable tragedies of life. I hope that Elizabeth Edwards is getting all the support from her family and doctors that she needs and I hope that John Edwards is doing everything he can to make it right.
Remember, apologizing is saying:
I’m sorry.
This is my fault.
What can I do to make it right.
No ifs, ands or buts.

Hope, you COMPLETELY MISSED the point. My point has ZERO to do with Edwards’ affair. It has to do with his wife promoting him to the country as the best man for the democratic ticket. Had he actually gotten the nomination and the affair come out PRIOR to the election, it would have CRUSHED the democratic’s chance to have their party in the White House and Elizabeth Edwards KNOWS THAT. Yet she stood at the podium and took that risk FOR EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN. SHE HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT!
Think you can comprehend the issue this time?!

Elizabeth Edwards is a hero.

Sarah Palin inspires me….
TO VOTE FOR OBAMA.
Patriotism knows no political party. I am glad that Elizabeth is still fighting for healthcare access.

If Mrs. Edwards says that he cares about poor people, then I’m sure he does. It’s conceivable that for some people, it would have been preferable to issue an apology without room for follow up questions so that the matter would have been permanantly out of the media by Sept. 1, 2008. It’s my perception that Senator Edwards was pretty forgiving of me even when I didn’t handle myself as well as I should have on his blog, so I’ll show him the same courtesy. President Clinton said that those who ask for forgiveness ought to be willing to give it. That makes sense to me. The five ultimate entries take precedence. I have seen many families go through this type of thing without it being so public. That aspect of it is very unfair. I wish for healing and peace for all those concerned.

I admire Elizabeth Edwards, she’s incredible from many standpoints. She
is obviously very strong.

I admire the strength of Elizabeth Edwards. She is fighting the battle of her life (cancer) and handling one of the most difficult situations any woman can be put in – infidelity of a spouse and all in the public eye. Give the woman a break – the decisions she makes now are for the future of her children not her own satisfaction. She has to be guarded in her use of words but I’m sure behind closed doors she is the typical woman – very hurt, feels so humilated, feels so betrayed by the man who was supposed to love her unconditionally! I’m sure she is angry and does speak her mind to John. I wish for her – length of days, much happiness and fulfillment by her children because she cannot trust or depend on the man who was supposed to be there in sickness or health. A man who will cheat on his wife when she is going through cancer and treatments cannot be trusted!

I really was disappointed in John Edwards when this story broke. The only thing that I find troubling as far as the presidential run is concerned is the fact that he ran and Elizabeth encouraged him to run AFTER his family knew about the affair. Did they really think that it wouldn’t come out at some point? How embarrassing could it have been had he been in the White House? I supported John Edwards over Obama, but I’m glad he didn’t get the nomination now. He’ll have to live with this the rest of his life. He screwed up all because he couldn’t keep his pants on. To think that the other woman would not eventually talk is being very naive.

Politicians will be politicians and political wives have to live with it.
Betcha don’t know which president had a love child by a teenage mistress while campaigning (successfully) for office, and how that helped women win the right to vote…

“The Privilege of Voting” is an exciting, new FREE e-mail series that reveals ALL that happened to set the stage for women to finally win the vote.
Powerful suffragettes Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with First Lady Edith Wilson (who opposed votes for women), and TWO gorgeous presidential mistresses.

To Debra from Oklahoma,
You can’t honestly believe that a vote for Hillary would have equalled a vote for universal health care? She was pummelled by Republicans when she tried to take on the healthcare industry in her husband’s first term, as a senator she has accepted hundreds of thousands from insurance companies (you can obtain this info from the US Congress website) to vote favoribly to healthcare bills, and you really think she will really put herself out there again? The woman is smart, not stupid. She realizes now more than ever, she needs a positive image if she will ever get to president. She cannot do that without the giants. I am confident she will run again, but I doubt she will take on healthcare. Sorry to burst your bubble!

When I began a job in 2000 for an Illinois Local Governmental Agency, health insurance was available to me. After Obama and his Democratic friends in Springfield, Illinois, took millions of dollars from the insurance reserve and gutted the program, I, who have cancer, no longer have access to health insurance through my Illinois local government employer. The Illinois legislators raised the participation requirement to 85%. The industry norm is 50% participation. So don’t be looking to Obama to help with any health insurance reform.

Elizabeth went thru extensive medical procedures to become pregnant with her younger children following the death of a son. No doubt the procedure included heavy doses of estrogen…and the resultant cancer. John’s decision to have a baby with a girl he met in a NY bar is a resounding slap in the face. Now he lies about the fatherhood of the baby girl…using a friend/political crony take that fall and another pal to funnel money. What? An effort to spare his political career? Dismal.

After reading all your hateful comments, my greatest sympathy goes out to Senator John Edwards, because he is only human.

“To err is human; to forgive is divine.”
–Alexander Pope

HOW COULD ELIZABETH NOT KNOW HE WAS A FRAUD AND CHEAT, IT JUST SHOWED SO CLEARLY IN HIS FACE. IT WAS SO DISGUSTING TO WATCH HIM AS HE PUT ON HIS ARTIFICIAL FACE EVERY TIME HE WAS IN FRONT OF CAMERAS. I COULD HARDLY STAND TO WATCH HIM AND LISTEN TO HIS ARTIFICIAL UTTERANCES. GOOD RIDDANCE MS. REILLE CAN HAVE HIM AND LEAVE THIS COUNTRY WITH HIM AS FAR AS I CARE. WOULD ELIZABETH TAKE ON HUSSEIN OBAMA’S EXPLANATIONS OF HOW HE DIDN’T KNOW MR WRIGHT WAS LIKE THAT AFTER BEING HIS CHURCH 20 YEARS – HOW LONG WAS ELIZABETH WITH JOHN?

The ONLY Victim here is the child that Mr. and Mrs. Edwards refuse to accept. Why does Mrs. Edwards think it is o.k. to denounce a child? Oh Yah! Pro-choice. Funny how that works.
