		<description>I believe Rielle Hunter and Bob McGovern (Rielle's Spiritual Healer") were attempting to blackmail John Edwards for money. I also believe that the baby's father is Bob McGovern(whom Rielle has known for 15 years), and that is the reason Rielle Hunter will not be having a paternity test, "now, or in the future." 
OR
It could be Rielle Hunter does not want a "paternity test now or in the future", because she has only narrowed the list of possible fathers down to about 12 men.</description>

		<description>"...he is in more pain now than he ever has been, and he will still most likely lose his wife, Elizabeth to cancer."

Cherubim, you are quite possibly the most vacuous person I've ever encountered.  But there are &lt;em&gt;a lot&lt;/em&gt; of liberals in the world, so it's tough to be sure.

John Edwards is not in any pain.  Experiencing sorrow and regret requires a beating heart, which Edwards lacks.  He's a pathological liar who will say anything to feed his narcissistic ego.

And as for losing his wife?  I suspect Edwards 'lost' her a long time ago.  She's well aware of what she married and chooses to stay, anyway.  Her choice.

Our nation just dodged a very serious disaster in the making.  Thank God he was found-out in time to flush him from political relevance.

John Edwards: the most contemptible, selfish, lying, greedy jackass, douchebag in the history of American politics.</description>

		<description>It's been interesting watching the reaction to this scandal in Edwards' home state.  There are links to two North Carolina newspapers covering it on http://www.USAMediaGuide.com.

One paper does extensive coverage with every detail while the other one is almost completely ignoring the story.  Does Edwards own stock in it or something?</description>

		<description>Poor John Edwards. He made his big statement last Friday, finally admitting to America his affair with Rielle Hunter, a woman who has on more than one occasion said to a hair-dresser, "Just make me look like Judith Light from 'Who's the Boss?'" Now his political career is in the toilet, and he's beating himself up so bad that no one else can even get a shot in.
But there's still the matter of that baby. Edwards claims that he is not the father of Rielle Hunter's five-month old daughter, Frances Quinn. If so, why did he visit Rielle and her baby at their hotel room in the middle of the night? There's clearly something going on between Edwards and that kid. If only they could talk this stuff out, perhaps via a nice, nurturing Daddy-Daughter IM...http://www.236.com/news/2008/08/11/if_they_imd_john_edwards_and_h_1_8245.php</description>

		<description>You people are so self-righteous you disgust me. You and the Republicans make political discourse so "small". No wonder the country is in the mess is in you would rather have it run
by an idiot, like George W. Bush, who is a drug addict, but may or may not have cheated on his wife

I think when Elizabeth Edwards was diagnosed with Cancer, John became a man with fear and pain. I think the affair resulted because he wanted to forget and live without pain. For those who hate John Edwards know this he is in more pain now than he ever has been, and he will still most likely lose his wife, Elizabeth to cancer. Oh, but, hey nevermind
individual pain and suffering. The Democrats 
are offering John Edwards as a sacrificeable lamb to prove that they are just as "holy" as the Rebublicans.

As it stands, now, only the New World Order Corporations benefit. I hope that, soon, John and Elizabeth will return to help us with the fight to obtain universal health coverage and end poverty. 
What would Jesus Christ say? Answer: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."</description>

		<description>Politicinas will be politicians!

Betcha don't know which president had a love child while campigning for the White House, and how that actually helped women win the vote.

Two beautiful and extremely powerful suffragettes — Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan, Alice Roosevelt and two gorgeous presidential mistresses.

There are tons of heartache for these heroines on the rocky road to the ballot box, but in the end - they WIN!

Presented in a unique sequential e-mail series — each exciting episode is about 10 minutes — perfect to enjoy during coffeebreaks, or anytime.

		<description>I’ve often heard various folks comment on how wonderfully varied, complex and diverse the English language is, effortlessly welcoming foreign words and phrases ‘into the fold’. The depth of our language is sometimes described as a ‘bottomless reservoir’ of nuance.

I agreed with that sentiment, but no longer, thanks to John Edwards. I’ve been struggling the last two weeks for words to describe exactly how much of a douchebag he really is. And sadly, for the first time I find my native tongue wanting. The adjectives simply aren’t ‘there’ to accurately describe how much of a manipulative, calculating, reprehensible, scumbag, liar, phony, narcissistic, empty-suit, jackass he really is.

See that? My best effort to ‘capture’ the fundamental essence of John Edwards rings completely hollow, like calling the Grand Canyon a ‘really big ravine’. I would otherwise be embarrassed by my linguistic impotence, but I really don’t think it’s my fault. He has simply re-defined the boundaries of douche-baggery, shattering the power of words to define him. It is, in wierd sort of way, a mark of greatness. A legacy, if you will.</description>

		<description>Why in heaven's name are people crucifying this man?  I do not condone Edwards actions by any means, but if Elizabeth and his family forgave him, that is all that matters.

Many great Presidents have had an affair while holding the highest office in the land, and the public was none the wiser.  So, sensationalism plays into this just as Elizabeth said. Not my business, nor is it yours.

What I see is we lost one of the best candidates to change what is wrong with America.</description>
