GIVE JOHN EDWARDS A BREAK.
HE IS A GOOD MAN.
HE MADE A MISTAKE.
HE IS HUMAN JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.
LET HIM OR HER WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.

Get real people. Elizabeth Edwards aided and abetted the lie John Edwards tried to pawn on his party and supporters. Had he been nominated it would have been a disaster and Ms. Edwards is no idiot her medical condition n.w.s.

If the fire's too hot they shouldn't have gotten into the kitchen.

That's politics.

hahahaaaa how does Hillary and McCain place this country first.

My heart feels for Mrs. Edwards. What a strong woman and mother. Mrs. Edwards, you have all of our support. Do what you feel it best for you and your children.

I don't believe American voters condone this kind of thing from our politicians but we've learned to tolerate it. Why? Because if we didn't who would be left in Washington? That is the disappointment that everyone lives with everyday.

The McCain stuff has been discussed for 25 years. Nothing new.

Edwards...follow the money. If money from his campaign has been diverted as hush monet someone will go to jail.

This story is just beginning. Follow the money.

He'll receive what he deserves - no doubt the universe will see to that. In the meantime, I hope he spends the rest of his life trying to make up for the betrayal to his wife.

John McCain and Edward affairs are not equal in my mind and I may be wrong. But, John McCain was a POW for 5 ½ years with fractures in his right leg and both arms. He received minimal care and was kept in wretched conditions based on US report. I cannot think about all the other daily things (tortures, solitary, sexual and brutality) that they did to him while in prison. Even Nelson Mandela cheated and left his wife after he was released from prison. Nelson Mandela was no longer the person his wife once knew. McCain admitted that being a prisoner of war had changed him and he was not the same man that his wife knew. I would like to see any of us coming out of that type of situation the same. How can he and other POW preserve their sanity? They should be respected and it is understandable that each POW can out a different person than their family once knew them to be. Our soldiers have a lot of trouble after coming home from war, yet alone POW for 51/2 years. Maybe Edwards was under too much pressure with his wife illness and needed outlets to handle it.

Edwards is a cad just like McCain and Bill Clinton.

Doesn't stress exacerbate or bring on cancer? John Edwards will be responsible for his wife's demise, whether it be sooner, or blessedly, later. He is beyond scum. Why do these guys always cheat with whores who cannot hold a candle to their accomplished, smart, intelligent and loyal wives? Hopefully, he'll suffer with this guilty forever.

I'm so disgusted. And to think my husband and I were going to vote for this jerk. He has done an amazing amount of damage to the party.

OK, this really isn't a Dem/Rep thing. It has been mentioned here that what McCain did is the same, but for the passage of time. I guess that's an anti-McCain stance. If you're pro-Clinton, as in both of them speaking in prime spots at the convention, why can't Edwards speak too? His crime and Bill's only differ in the passage of time. Of course they all differ in the circumstances and the personalities involved, and who might have caused and felt the most hurt, but it's all cheating and adultery in the final analysis.

Don't feel sorry from him. There's plenty of ambulances left to chase.

Thank goodness this phoney's lies were exposed before he could become POTUS and be subjected to blackmail. What a man who would put the potential security of our entire nation at risk! Since he had already bold-faced lied repeatedly to the American people, who knows what deals might have been made to keep this from being exposed to the general public if he had been elected Pesident. Truley,trulely scary.

When you see how flawed our would-be leaders are, we need to remember that it is at our own peril to give more and more of our freedoms away to politicians and the people they bring with them into our government. Let's all wake up---let's continue to push for smaller and less powerful government and start taking our own destinies into our own hands. Just think how much more power we would have if it were not for high taxes and the the endless numbers of rules and regulations that government and its bureaucrats heap upon us. Shed the repression!!

WestCoast Messenger: And Obama was disrespectful to his grandmother how ? If you'd done your research, you would have seen that this anecdote about his grandmother's fear of the black man on the street was included in his book that was published ten years ago. And if you'd done your research you would have read that his grandmother read the manuscript beforehand and approved of what Obama said. I am so tired of readers not doing research.

As for Edwards, well, since he came down hard on Bill Clinton for the Lewinsky affair, he should expect others to seek the truth as to whether he fathered the child.
He has used the death of his son and his wife's cancer to gain sympathy and votes. He has presented himself as the paragon of morality. He and his wife are addicted to the spotlight and are a sham.

Watch for the Feds to indict him on the hush money.

why you against the man. Edward is a good man. He done a terrible mistake which may stick with for life but he human, he is a good man. This woman is opportunist, she is Jezebell. She knew what she was doing and why she did it.

MEN BE ON QUARD AGAINSST THESE KINDS OF WOMEN. She carless about the hurt she caused

This family has seen enogh suffering in terms of destroyed public image. The best we can do for the cancer striken woman is to put this story behind us and pray for all of them

If I were her I'd take a gun and shot the SOB! Why not? She is going to pass anyway and then the attention would be directed at his funeral!
This is not a good example for the children to see their father get by with this!!! How will they ever trust anyone?

Look how Edwards made his money. Anyone surprised he sold his soul?

Edwards is a one-term Senator. See what happens wehen you don't know that much about someone. We know even less about Obama.
