QuoteWhat a dirtbag. His wife is home with cancer and he is getting busy with the mistress. Classy!
Evidently took his chivalry cues from that shitbag Bill Clinton.

QuoteCan anybody give me a good reason to care about this?
What business is this of ours?
Maybe it's the fact that the guy wanted to be the vice president of our nation, and these are his morals and ethics. This is how he treats his seriously ill wife.
I am confounded by people like you who say they don't think these things matter--that the makeup of a man's character should not be a consideration when deciding whether he should lead!
If people like you won't hold any elected leader to standards of morals and ethics that we pretty much can all agree on (can't we agree on faithfulness to a spouse without trying to downplay adultery as though it's insignificant?) then it's no wonder we get crop after crop of amoral, corrupt officials.

QuoteEdwards is so far denying paternity, but if one of his campaign shills is volunteering to take the rap for him - why is no father named on the birth certificate ?
Edwards said that he's willing to take a test for paternity.
I want the bluff checked. Is he counting on the idea that we won't demand the check simply because he dared us to do it and claimed he doesn't fear it?
CHECK HIM OUT. I want to know if he's compounded the initial lies with another whopper about whose kid it is.

The reason it is relevant is because first he flatly denied the allegations of the affair (called it "tabloid trash") and now that he admits the affair, he calls the allegations that it might be his daughter untrue.
How would we know? It wouldn't be an issue, you are right, if he were not a known liar making a tough-to-swallow denial.

Of course, it matters. Lots of people commit adultery. Only the lowest scum of the earth deny parenting a child.

If he'll cheat-on and lie to his own cancer-sick wife,
Elizabeth Edwards' Oncologist considered her cancer a non-issue in 2006, when John had his affair.
Moreover, even if it were coincidental, they obviously worked it out within their family a long time ago.
This is classical republican playbook - not hesitating to take private family matters and put a spin for political gain on them, regardless of the additional pain inflicted on the family.
Quotethen he sure as hell won't have any compunction against cheating and lying to the citizens which he aspires to serve.
There's absolutely no proof of that hypothesis.
(1) Think about your favorite WH occupant who was dishonest to the public in a public policy or criminal law matter.
(2) Think about your favorite WH occupants who was dishonest in a private /sexual matter.
If what you say is true the people in (1) should be the same as the people in (2). I come up with disjoint sets of people.
Cheers, T
Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true
Believe it or not, Grover Cleveland was ELECTED President after admitting to knocking up a woman out of wedlock - and this was in 1888 !
Of course he manned up and admitted it right off the bat, and also provided for the upbringing and education of his child.
