Why Great Men like John Edwards Cheat
Men who cheat do so not because they don't love their wives but because they hate themselves: not because their wives are not caring, but because their perforated sense-of-self is immune to affection.

John McCain.
When the going gets tough, the tough leave their wives.
I hate to say it, but I think there is a difference. I'm very sad about this - I caucused for Edwards in Jan '08 (Iowa) because I truly believed he was the best candidate.
I agree... Edward's blatant lies when confronted with the so-called "rumors" are very disturbing. What's worse is that Edwards stated he had told Elizabeth about the affair shortly after it happened (or at least, quite some time before he threw his hat in the ring for the pres. election.) I believe this was a serious error in judgment - how could they think this story would NOT come out? I shudder to think of the consequences had Edwards been the presumptive dem. nominee.
Oh please, give me a break. John Edwards didn't start a war in Iraq based on lies and cause
the death of thousands of people.
Why don't you shudder to think about the consequences of the many lies the Bush-McCain administration has told the American people?
I think it's pretty clear what the difference is, McCain is a Republican. Remember Newt Gingrich and his first wife. Diagnosed with breast cancer, she was still in the hosital recovering from surgery and he asked her for a divorce - so he could hook up with his girl friend. No damage to his political career. How about Henry Hyde and Bob Livingston leading the impeachment hearings against Bill Clinton, while both had admitted to extra - marital affairs. Then there's old 'wide stance' Larry Craig.
So maybe the difference is that Edwards feels some shame about what he did, and McCain and his Republican brothers are shameless.
Exactly, these shameless people don't deserve to be nation's leaders coz they're shameless as they lied and evil as they bear false testimonies about other people. They are black goats in sheep's clothings. So, how can we expect these shameless people to govern the country for the people's welfare? Of course not, its only for their own vested evil interest. They do everything they can to give hardships and keep us all poor so we will be all busy to survive from shameless man-made hardships and won't have chance to notice their wrongdoings. Also a reply to shelly bear, cherubim & cmarmonhalm. Tough,thick-faced left ailing wife for skinny with fat WALLET. Noticed? while she was coming down the stairs to be w/ the tough (as if) husband to greet the crowds, very ungentleman not to hold her. Also using his being a captive five years ago, but he's not the only captive, there were many others and this does'nt mean he will be a good choice and deserve to be president, he who 100% does'nt care about the consequences, the sufferings and hardships of the people are having now because of their lies. LET NOT BE TAKEN FOR A RIDE AGAIN. NOW, WE ARE 100% AWARE THAT WE WILL ONLY SUFFER MORE TO BE RULED BY A SHAMELESS ADMINISTRATION.OBVIOUSLY, SHAMELESS PEOPLE ARE VERY GOOD AT FABRICATING LIES, MAKING UP STORIES, PUTTING WORDS ON OTHER PEOPLE'S MOUTH AND VERY GOOD AT TRAINING UP-COMING SHAMELESS PERSONALITIES.(OBSERVED THEIR SPEECHES)?
The awful part about all of this is that John McCain has emerged unscathed from all of this. No one is really talking about the fact that he cheated on his first wife and then upgraded for the rich stepford wife that he has now.
The media is so horrid that they've taked to blaming Elizabeth Edwards for not coming forward about the affair. It's not bad enough that this poor sick woman was cheated on by her husband but we should blame her for his decisions.
Sometimes the MSM really makes me sick.
At last it is coming to the attention of many of our citizens that as long as a Republican does it then everything is ok - doesn't matter what "it" is. But if a Democrat does "it" - impeachment, ruin his/her career, etc. Look at the group of Republicans that hurried to impeach Clinton - check out their "dirty laundry". Look at the group of Republicans who are involved in the outing of a spy just to punish her husband - TREASON!!!!! But of course that is ok, because the Republicans did it. Keep up the "sinning" Republicans - it won't be long before anything goes! Don't talk to anyone about being the party of Christian morals and family values.
