Edwards - lies and more lies

Of course it's his child! He is pathetic for denying it. What an elaborate cover-up!

John Edwards

Did he really think?????? that his affair would not surface? Do polititions really think that the American people are that unaware?....and the hum-bug is we pay these folks dollars out of our pockets to preform their duties, if he worked for a living he would have been fired, for we are sure this went on our dime. Cya John Edwards, nice of you to help out your wife in her time of need.

A Sinking Ship of Fools ...

John Mashek has it right on regarding John Edwards, whose street cred in a street smart agenda is in a deep hole of his own design. What a charade. Why did the Edwardses perpetuate it on the public stage in a Presidential campaign? Maybe they had nothing better to do and nothing to lose? But it doesn't say much for standards, does it? Or integrity or judgement or self-control — or character.

So much for all of the pseudo-presidential, high-toned rhetoric when you are living such a tawdry lie.

And, the runaway topper: the not-so-good-looking, flaky mistress with the phonier-than-Crockefeller name, saying Elizabeth Edwards has bad energy ... now there's ironic hyperbole.

Please, Edwardses, et al., disappear, ASAP.

Haughty Superiority

Nothing turns a person off like haughty superiority. Good riddance to Edwards and his snotty hubris.

john edwards

it shows edwards likes girls.

do you want a man in the white house or do you want a priest, edwards is no priest.

look what priest's have done in the catholic church.

F.D.R. had sex with another women, and he saved the world

J.F.K had sex with many women and he saved U.S. from Russia

Clinton had sex with that women and we the country had the best economic 8 years this country had ever seen.

so john show us how you can bring the rich and poor together.

AMEN

Gee

if only you were equally upset how our current president led us into a war based on lies while most of the press was silent.

Edwards

I wanted to believe he was a good man who was running for president. Throw him in with the pile of public liars. Let the media punish him.

Edwards

He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone.

EDWARDS

Oddly Edwards had the best policies of those running for office. There are more than two americas but the other ones running did not seem to have voiced this. All the condidates are rich and this creates a wall from reality.

In November we will elect for our next four years our new king. Our congress is a big nothing which gives a stmap to it. To bad this is not a democracy that is talked about.

Edwards follows Clinton on the path that is mostly a downer. Most say that the average person does not get $400 haircuts.

This shows the wall that money creates. Both McCain and Obama panda to the public. Who wins is anybody's guess. Maybe the public is getting what it deserves but I make an exception with Bush. Likely things will not be better in the future.

Heres to the $400 haircut and the women that go with it!

media

I am sorry, I have been too busy clinging to my religion and my guns(I live in flyover country)but as I recall, the mainstream media sat on the Clinton story as well. Yes, Virginia there is a bias in the Stalinist media. To deny the fact, is a intellectually disingenous arguement.The mainstream media in this country is a joke. Remember after the revolution. La Prensa is a liability.
