FEC: Edwards must repay more than $2 million


WASHINGTON
The Federal Election Commission said Thursday that former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards' 2008 presidential campaign should repay the U.S. Treasury more than $2 million.
The commission voted 6-0 to order the repayment after conducting an audit of the campaign.
A telephone call by AP to Edwards' attorneys seeking comment was not immediately returned. Edwards' attorneys have said the Democrat's campaign doesn't owe anything.
Federal auditors said the campaign understated its cash on hand and overstated its expenses, including money spent to wind down the campaign. Auditors also found that the campaign failed to itemize more than $4 million in loan repayments.

3. I feel safe in saying that

no pussy is worth what john has paid. The thing of it is we, those of us who would have voted for him, were duped into supporting a no good sob of the first order.
At first I was all gung ho for Edwards, am I ever so glad I seen the light though when I did.

5. Don't feel so safe,

I wish you had worded that a bit differently, though I agree with you in principle on the objectionably worded part.

He was my Senator for a little while, and I would actually have NEVER voted for him for anything after that.

6. He was a conservative senator

Pro-life, even, I think...?

8. My apologies to you

My bad
:-(

4. How about those of us who contributed to the campaign?

I really think that if the government is entitled to a repayment, then so are we.
Never have I been so disappointed in the person to whom I contributed.
Phooey! Never again!

I don''t have money to waste. I thought he was the answer. Shows me !!
