Comments on: John Edwards, Rielle Hunter Love Child: Edwards Caught but MSM Just Now Catching Up http://www.bloggernews.net/116853 High-quality English language analysis and editorial writing on the news. Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:02:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Aggie http://www.bloggernews.net/116853#comment-443893 Aggie Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:54:16 +0000 http://www.bloggernews.net/116853#comment-443893 Edwards is a self-aggrandizing hypocrite and jerk. His wife is undergoing treatment for breast cancer and he has an affair?? Unethical and sleazy behavior is nothing new for him, though. He made his fortune pretending to care for the "little guy" by drumming up bogus lawsuits against doctors. How many doctors have had to quit their practices due to the skyrocketing cost of malpractice insurance thanks to weasels like Edwards? He lives in a pretentious mansion and makes lots of $ giving speeches about poverty. And as all politicians who call themselves compassionate, his compassion and generosity consist of giving away other people's money. He is beneath contempt, and the sooner he disappears from the public stage, the better. As to why it matters if a politician cheats on his or her spouse - if a person will break the vows they took when getting married, they will have no compunction about telling lies for any reason. Adultery also exposes them to potential blackmail. Edwards is a self-aggrandizing hypocrite and jerk. His wife is undergoing treatment for breast cancer and he has an affair??

I may be "old-fashioned" but when you make a vow to someone that is a promise. He had his wife and children on the campaign trail. He received our sympathy regarding his wife's illness (and I believe he lost a child). He has a lovely family......but if that story is true...he lacks character!.....I still want a hero for a President.....not a jerk.. It is a question of decency and honesty.

I know you went by Rose on another thread spewing the same BS You state everyone in South Carolina knows what a player Edwards is thats strange considering they live in North Carolina and have for years. Also you state EE is a classic codependent how do you know this? You know you need to stop spreading rumors, it is evil. If and when you see actual pictures and real credible eyewitness reports to validate this info, However the political timing of this supposed news is very suspect. Let's cast doubt on a strong contender for the Democratic VPresidency.With typical political expediency, Look to motive.. why would Edwards meet her in a famous hotel in L.A. a papparazzi haven? He arrives there in stealth fashion, yet the report then states they both leave the hotel together... WTF... I don't think so, no actual pictures or independent eye witness reports..here is a very famous man with a woman already suspected to be his mistress just going for a stroll in L.A. all a week before Obama is to announce his VP choice?? Seems to me Edwards was alot further up that short VP list than the powers of be wanted....so now we destroy him..... Umm Ruth..

John Edwards and Rielle Hunter just had a new baby!!! Don’t feel sorry for Mrs. Edwards. The National Enquirer broke this story way back in October 2007, but the MSM still refuses to report it. She is a classic codependent wife who has enabled her cheating husband, Senator John Edwards, to have multiple affairs, as everyone in South Carolina knows. It’s much more important to see John Edwards as he LIES to the world about his affair. Lucky for the Democrats that he didn’t get the nomination!! John Edwards for Vice-Pres!!

She knows with her cancer, she's not long for this world. It wouldn't surprise me if she knows all about Edwards' affair--and doesn't even mind.

I think this story deserves similar treatment. Where's the COVER STORY New York Times? =) Don’t forget that the New York Times ran a COVER story that IMPLIED that McCain might have had an affair with a female lobbyist.

Only the people sitting in their trailor watching Jerry on the black and white. It's not my business and it shouldn't be anyone else's as well. It wouldn't affect my vote whoever the candidate is. Why?, because I'm sure if someone followed anyone around for a while, their actions would probobly not fit our form of morality. Anyway, we aren't hiring a priest and if we were there's a good chance we wouldn't like what they do... Who cares who is sleeping with who particularly if the principals don’t have an issue?

The last time this came up Edwards was starting to pick up steam in the primaries. Now with the imminent announcement of Obamas VP choice of which Edwards is on a very short list. The 'powers that be' are trying to ruin any chance of his being chosen, tells me he was probably the one!!. What amazing timing!! people need to get a clue in how we are being manipulated and our politicians are being chosen for us. Edwards has ALWAYS been the candidate that the GOP and corporate America has feared, they will do ANYTHING to keep him out of power. WHY???? just take a guess.... Wow how convenient.
