John Edwards--I used to like him
How??? could he run for president knowing he was the father of an illegitimate child? His ego is unbelieveable. It's sad to me because he has so many great qualities. Now it seems the best thing he has is a good wife. If he had been elected, the disclosure of his infidelities would have brought down the party in 2010 and 2012.

1. True. But since he's not the President and has little chance of any political future,
I no longer give a damn.

2. How many times can we rehash this stupid topic?

7. Yes, he could have fucked the whole thing up.

But thank God he didn't.


He's a bastard for cheating on his cancer-stricken wife.

But humans have needs, and can get weak, particularly in times of family stress.



Repeat 10,000 times.


Time to move on.

6. I really liked John. I feel like an idiot for believing in him.
His LIES and his unbelievable arrogance (that he could get away with this affair and still be elected president) just absolutely disgust me.

11. Oh come on now... have you seen what a truckload of shit is going for on ebay these days?
You could have cashed that in, paid off a few bills and been on your way to a long vacation.

And I'm with ya on the liking him thing. He never had the sincerity. I always doubted something about the guy.
