I thought cheating and lying were supposed to be exemplary qualities in politicians.

That takes him of the VP list now doesn't it? :lol:

[Platapus]

Wife dying of Cancer and he tries to explain away the cheating by saying "he indeed did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, though he denies that he loved her."

Like this makes it better? Yeah I "F-ed" her but did not love her"

Geeze Edwards, you can't keep in your pants until your wife is dead?

What a morally dishonourable person. :down:

Thank god he did not get nominated....

In France that would be a good thing. You know, they like their presidents that way. :D

Over there, i guess it lets the people know that other people are being as bad as they are! :p :lol: Then they don't feel as bad! Look wifey! Even the president does it!

Great!

Frankly... John Edwards personal life is none of our business. :nope:

[SUBMAN1]

Frankly... John Edwards personal life is none of our business. :nope:I disagree. That is like saying we don't care who our CEO is or does to a stock holder. To think he can do what he wants and still be our representative to other nations, sorry! But no dice!

Former campaign aide Andrew Young has claimed paternity of the child.
:huh: Yikes.

Either that's the lamest cover up contingency plan ever, or it's true and that gal is one hell of a sex kitten. lol

You mean another actor?

[SUBMAN1]

You mean another actor?No, but someone with a brain. Last I checked, most 'good' actors had some decent smarts upstairs.

Typical Americana

- War in Georgia

What does CNN devote most time to???

Reagen was a former actor, I think that's what he was saying there.

And Subman wasn't asking for another actor, he was asking for another man with some integrity; one who was faithful.

@ Subman1: whoever said Reagan was a 'good' actor?:rotfl:

Turn off the lights, all cats are the same in the dark :rotfl:

She's also 44, and, contrary to the old saying, pictures can indeed lie. In person she might just be animated, witty and extremely attractive.

Belle Starr looked like a sack of potatoes in her later years, but she still had men lining up to be her 'friend'.

As for Edwards, I think he's a sleezebag, but not for the affair.

[Type941]

who gives a ****? So he screwed some chick on campaign trail and is a bloody cheat. Did you all think he was like one decent politician in washington? comon. this is not news.

Cheating on your wife is wrong, period.

With that said, the moral high horse of the voters in this country is laughable....and its priorities incredibly misguided.

sure it's wrong, but it happens every day with like half the people I know and other half of the other half is probably keeping it well secret. This is bad of course, but such is nature of life and Im SURE this happens much more regularly in high power places. If its not a campaign buddy then some 24 year old intern with big boobs. It's like... it just happens.

[Foxtrot]

who cares? Washington is full of these clowns.
We just need a sane president, no matter if he cheats on his wife or not :)

[bookworm_020]

The phot that you have posted of her in her PR photo!:o They showed a shot of her on a day when she wasn't dolled up for the cameras here in Australia:eek::eek::eek::eek:

[Platapus]

sadly, I don't think that the fact that this scumbag cheated on his wife is what is upsetting people. It is that this scumbag was running on a political platform of family values and when this story first broke, he adopted, hypocritically, the stance of injured honour.

It is not the dishonourable act, but the hypocrisy that offends people.

On a personal note, I feel that this dishonour does have an influence in his eligibility to hold high office in my country.

A man who cheats on his wife is a man without honour. I prefer not to have dishonourable men (or women for that matter) holding high offices in my government.

I recognize that I am in a moral minority. From reports I understand that upwards to 70% of marriages involve cheating. However, I proudly place myself in the minority here. I also, sadly, recognize that it is difficult to find a politician who follows my personal standards of ethics.

Cheating on your spouse is a personal decision that everyone has to make. Some justify it, some ignore it, some are proud of it, and some even forgive it. I can do none of these.
