Tricia Spiegel, Elizabeth Edwards stood behind her spouse just like HRC stood behind Bill. HRC had to such an activity twice.

So foot on other foot why did not HRC stand behind Chelsa, or stand for herself in a stronger way? Bill’s infidelity may have prevented him from taking a stronger position on OBL and Al Queda. The impeachment proceedings definitely were a distraction from running the country. Should the American people sue Bill and Hill for the effects his tawdry affair had on the nation?

Edwards has already pa

I have always felt that the Obama people might have threatened to expose Edwards’ affair and had something to do with with his resigning. I was disappointed that he chose to come out as an Obama supporter…rather than supporting Hillary. By the time we got our Edwards for President yard signs….he had already resigned. I never even got to put them outside.

I never did support Edwards as I thought him a schmoe for not stepping down from the campaign trail once he knew his wife has/had breast cancer.

American Girl In Italy, Can we sue in the name of the Constitution. I ask because in the end it was election fraud.

The Local ABC News just showed a clip of John Edwards when asked if “he was afraid she would leave him” say, “Yes, but I love my wife, I care about her.”

WTF?? I asked my sane half how could a guy say in the same breath say “I love her but I screwed around on her. OOPS”

What a P.I.G. Poor Mrs. Edwards, oh the wailing! She knew TWO DAYS into his campaign. Sorry, she does not get a pass. It is none of my biz if she made a choice to not leave him, but she had no right to stand there and tear into Hillary, all the while knowing two facts.
1) What it felt like to be lied to.
2) She is a hypocrite.

I do understand that she was battling a serious illness and had no time or energy to expend emotionally on her sad sack of a husband.

The interview clip showed off the fixer upper they live in complete with an indoor basketball court…two Americas…ya know?

By the way if it was only two days in to it, I have to ask…What was Mud Cat thinkin’? What, he did not know?

The problem I see with this affair is that it looks like a bit of the campaign fund were more than likely funneled off to Edward’s mistress.

“they didn’t do it because they knew it would hurt his chances”

exactly. and HAD he become the nominee, and the scandal came out? he lied and swindled $57 Million out of americans who believed in him. sounds like a BIG f*cking scam to me. and now he is being investigated for spending that money illegally.

miss california, a contest where women parade around half naked, might lose her crown because she posed for underware ads… apparently miss beauty contests are held to hire moral standards than our elected officials who con people out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Politicians who stand there and cast stones at others…

I share that feeling, Lyn.
It is not yet a year in his job, BO has already accumulated/amassed HUGE DEBTS,traveled the globe,outdo past presidents by having joy-rides around the country,intimidated opponents,lowered the safety bar for our country’s safety,broken most of his campaign promises and worst, apologized for America’s “mistakes” to the leaders of the unfriendly nations.Weakling.
Edwards MUST pay for his being a PINHEAD !(Borrowing Mr. O’Relley’s term)

An AFFAIR? Come on. Politicians and their wives–don’t want to leave the women out–have affairs all the time. FDR, JFK, Eisenhower, Clinton, you name ‘em, they’ve probably had an affair.

I am greatly disapppointed by John and Elizabeth Edwards that they didn’t just divulge their dirty little secret right off the bat. Oh, sure, they didn’t do it because they knew it would hurt his chances. So, they hid it. It’s always the cover-up that gets ya, isn’t it?!

There’s no law suit here. Move along, folks.

As a born Southerner, I make this observation.

Every small- to medium-sized town in the South has one or more characters with a $100 haircut and a great line of shit. Listen to the locals and you’ll believe that it’s incumbent upon you to throw palm fronds before his donkey when he passes. Donut shop waitresses, sexually-frustrated court clerks, barmaids and bored housewives get all tingly when his name is mentioned at the Piggly-Wiggly.

Alas, when the local Jaycees (of which he is president) count the Fireworks fund for the 4th of July, they will find it several thousand dollars “light,” GMAC is looking for the Corvette/Escalade upon which they hold paper and the local S&L whizzbang/banker who underwrote his new Subdivision is unceremoniously dismissed, a little LED bulb lights up in the minds of the Locals.

This is a Southern story as old and reliable as any told by Faulkner, Agee or Williams.

This person is usually described as a, “Cracker Hustler.”

Edwards is a Cracker Hustler with a J.D.

It drips off of him, and if you can’t see it, DO NOT bring your checkbook south of Pennsylvania, as his kind is thick in that region.

The local Cracker Hustler is as necessary to traditional southern life as the Village Drunk, the crooked judge, the Genteel Poor and Town Slut.

DEAD GIVEAWAY CHARACTERISTICS BY WHICH THE CRACKER HUSTLER CAN BE RECOGNIZED:

Smarmy, oily smile
Reference to humble roots
Televangelist hairdo
Too-even tan

And, the BIGGIE Indicator that you’re dealing with a Cracker Hustler:

Use of the phrase, “My Word is My BOND!”

Y’all have now been warned.

That the same day Edwards suddenly flew here to Michigan for the endorsement is the very same day Obama had the secret one-on-one meeting with Imam Qazwini out of Dearborn (arranged by David Bonior)at Macomb College in Detroit, before he went to Grand Rapids that night. Where the Imam gave Obama a copy of his book American Cresent. Nice. The article that reported this secret meeting was disappeared out of the online Detroit Free Press of course.

I’ve always thought that Edwards had no idea how much he was truly used by Obama that day. With the media circus of the very convenient endorsement (same with NARAL that morning) helping to cover for and hide the disturbing knowledge of Obama’s secret meeting with the Imam which could have created a firestorm if properly covered.

No Edwards (both) gets a small part of MY anger, and my anger grows Daily with each thing Obama does, like think it is fine to terrify citizens in NYC, spend more money that any POTUS, ect. I will always Blame the DNC, Pelosi, Brazille and the MSM for putting our Country last in their priorities and working as hard as they could to steal the nomination from Hillary.
