So the shit what. She's skinny. Big woo. Doesn't matter. He shouldn't have had an affair. Marriage vows are supposed to mean something, hottie or not. And poor woman dying to boot? I say, take the asshole to the cleaners. Not that she needs it, but I'll pitch in a few bucks to her lawyer fund.

Well, this news surprised me, but I don't see why its the public's business or has to be a big story. I said this same when Clinton did it... this is between he and his wife. Their marriage is no one's business and doesn't affect a single one of us. Its unfortunate when this stuff goes public... he told his wife about it two years ago. Why this has to come up now is beyond me. :roll: HAs nothing to do with the man's career any more than it did when Billy Boy did it.

Because if you are a scumbag who can lie to your spouse, why would you have any problem lying to the pubic. He is a hypocrite and a corrupt man with absolutely no integrity.

Lying under oath and committing perjury while Commander In Chief is certainly our business.

And I bet she stayed mum out of guilt that her children's father's career would be ruined, and wondered if he'd go without shame in public while she slept next to the man whose sins she had to carry the burden of. I'm glad he was "outed." He should have to deal with people looking at him like the piece of shit he is.

I'm sure if you'd "fuck over" the woman that bore your children you'd have no problem lying and fucking over constituents...most of whom you'll never even meet!!! This has everything to do with his career.

And the same self-rightous douche who led that whole entire thing was later found to have.... ummm... cheated on his wife.

If your boss came in and said "You cheated on your spouse, and you lied to us when you said you were only TALKING to your secretary in the alley behind the bar after the Christmas party, we're going to fire you." you'd be able to file one hell of a lawsuit. :lol: :lol:

You know, all you fine Christians sure are quick to judge a man and call him a "scumbag".
I liked Edwards, and I feel tremendously let down by his lack of judgement, but this man is and HAS gone through a tremendous amount of turmoil, including losing a child and the thought of losing his wife (which we all know is imminent). I seriously doubt he is the only person in such a situation who ever turned to another for comfort. Does that make it right? Of course not. It also doesn't make him a "scumbag". Have a little freaking perspective, people. And maybe a touch of compassion wouldn't hurt, while you're at it. You never know...might make the world a better place while you're at it!

Do you really have to be a Christian to call a slick lying politician who ran for presdient TWICE preaching about Family Values, accepted a father of the year award and cheated on his spouse a scumbag? His big excuse and justification? His wife's cancer was in remission when he did it. What a fucking loser. His poor wife is now dying and humiliated for all the world to see. Did he think about that when he was getting his rocks off with his mistress? No. He thought about himself and his immediate needs period.

He is a despicable human being, IMO.

While I think he is a scumbag, it now appears that Mrs. Edwards participated in the 'cover up' and condoned his moving forward with a Presidential campaign that would never have taken place had the public known that he had cheated, and then repeatedly lied about it. While I am very sympathetic to her situation, I also think she should share some of the 'hypocrisy' charges. Any criticism of her will not go far due to her condition. But at least in my mind, I do not hold her in as high regard as I had previously.

Maybe. If I put myself in her shoes, not sure what I would have done. I can see how for her, keeping it quiet would be the easiest thing to do for herself and her children. I mean, it's kind of a tough position for her to be in. To not stay quiet would have done more than ruin her husband's political ambitions, it would ruin her life as well.

Since she is now dying and dealing with this public humiliation, I can't help but feel sorry for her.

Where did i say ANYTHING about partisanship? Quite the opposite. I DID actually like the guy (unlike most on this board) and I believed in him, so this hurts me quite a bit. But my call for compassion has nothing to do with Democrat or Republican. I'd say the EXACT same thing if this were George Bush or John McCain.
It;s obvious Barb feels strongly about this, and that's fine. I respect her right to her opinion. I'm just saying that for all the religious yakking that goes on in this place, some of you don't seem to walk the walk very well. I seem to remember a few passages about not passing judgement in that good book.

That's not what the Bible says at all. The verse most people quote in this situation is "Judge not lest ye be judged". However, that verse, taken in context, is not saying that people should judge but that they shouldn't judge hypocritically.

Absolutely agree on that. Judge not, that ye be not judged. And not that we all aren't guilty of that at one time or another. Maybe we all need reminding of it. Religion is convenient isn't it? Most just pick and choose which parts they want to invoke and ignore the mirror. Before anyone jumps on that... its NOT something that's aimed at anyone here. That's my general view and has been for quite some time.

And like x-factor, I'd say the same whehter it was Obama, McCain, whoever, and I did say the same when it was Billy. It doesn't matter... what's equally despicable is those who went and dragged it up and purposely went after the family 2 years later, after their family has already dealt with it among themselves, where it should have stayed. THAT is my problem with this. No one knows the situation but Mr.& Mrs. Edwards, none of us were there, and it being a personal matter (not a political or public one) it does not concern the public at large.

Of course he lied about it... why wouldn't he? ANYONE would. Obviously he didn't want it to become a public matter and have it thrown back up to his wife and family AGAIN. That doesn't make what he did right, but he's the one who has to answer to his wife, his family and his god and most of all, himself for it. Not to us.

That's true. The rest of that passage goes "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

But its to the same end. Who isn't guilty of hurting people they love, who doesn't regret some action or another, and who hasn't gone on a soapbox of shit they themselves aren't or weren't guilty of at some point in time.... we ALL have them.
