Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate

For those that say it doesn't matter or it isn't any of our business, are you aware that he paid her company $114,000 for 4 months of web production. If that is found to be excessive and coming from campaign contributions, does that bother you?

I don't like him any way because he made his money suing OB/GYN's and doctors in general and is just the biggest ambulance chaser around.

If I remember correctly, Elizabeth isn't going to make it so of course she's not going to leave him. Why bother herself with the burden and hassle when she's dying. I really, really, really feel sorry for her. She should spend all his money on a big around the world trip of sex and sin! Then put it on youtube!

This is news, how?:cool:

When I first heard this I dismissed it, but now that I know:


PWN3D!




But seriously, this man is a scumbag. It's one thing to break the trust and bond of marriage. But to do this to your terminally ill wife!

AND break the law by paying the whore er' I mean mistress off with campaign money. (You know that baby is his)

There's fairly good evidence that Rielle Hunter's baby was fathered by one of Edwards' campaign aide workers, a man named Andrew Young (not the former congressman/mayor of Atlanta). Mr. Young, too, was married while he was fooling around with Ms. Hunter and, I think, still is. I want paternity tests just so it'll be settled and so the baby can know whose genes it has for health history reasons.

I agree that this whole situation stinks. I also think y'all who want to point the fingers too strongly in a partisan direction need to read the autobiographical work of John McCain, who has admitted he cheated on his first wife after she was disabled in a car accident, and New Gingrich, who did the same thing after his wife was diagnosed with cancer. Folks cheat on both sides of the aisle, and politics is fraught with those temptations.

I hope Elizabeth Edwards spends up a lot of her husband's money in the time she has left!!

My finger pointing is far less political and far more personal. I don't approve of McCain or Gingrich or anyone for that matter who would cheat on their wife. Cheating is scummy to begin with. I try to keep how I feel about politics and how I feel personally over a situation like this seperate. If I didn't then I probably be about 15-20x more disgusted with the politicians in power as I'm sure they've all had their dirty little sexual secrets.

I don't give a shit where he dips his wick, but he used campaign money to pay her. That is a FELONY and he should go to prison for it. Converting campaign money to personal use has sent several local politicians to prison here, and the dollar amounts were far smaller than this. Guard your asshole Mr. ambulance chaser.

The ones that cry "partisan politics" are the same that have NOTHING bad to say about their beloved Obama. Seems damn funny that the same ones in here that'll blast McCain on issues such as med-marijuana, anti-abortion, gay marriage are the ones accused of this.

Edwards is scum....if the lefts best arguement is "hey, look at McCain", well, it's pretty sad to say the least. Look at good ol' Kennedy, the killer of Chapaquitic, free slide and a hero of the left.

The only problem I have with this from a political standpoint is that he lied about the affair while he running in the primaries. Which is a huge deal, I don't mean to downplay it, but I have a much larger problem with this on a personal level.

I agree that people seem to be blowing this off as if it were no big deal, but had McCain had a recent affair during the election year I guarantee you would think the news media would string McCain up instantly.
