I now know who I'm putting on my ignore list... talk about overexaggerating.
Sad day for me...John Edwards is a sham--Affair?
- Thread starter titsrock
- Start date
If it was over in 2006 what was he doing in the Beverly Hilton with her the night the National Enquirer caught him?
Everything looks different to me after today...the things I used to think smell good--a steak on a grill, Chanel No5 on a hot chick, a nice rose, the head of a hoppy IPA beer--it all reeks to me today...:weeping:
John Edwards you are a scoundrel! I DEMAND YOU LEAVE THIS COUNTRY!!!
Very, very poor judgement, I agree.... By Him standing up, no excuse, he will have enough grief to stain his career...
You're basically saying having an affair is worse than shooting/attacking/killing someone.
Seriously, you are overreacting.

Objection ! This has nothing to do with "maturity"
:1orglaugh It's about not being a flake. Fidelity between a married couple is essential. If a politician cheats on his wife, he'll certainly cheat the lesser important people in his life, we the tax payers. I don't know . . . do atheists believe in the institution of marriage ? :dunno:You're either pullin' our leg(s) off your meds :tongue:

We probably believe in it as much as the general population does,which ain't much lol.Like I said I think the numbers are 1/2 of all married people have admitted infidelity,maybe less but we do know at least 50% end up in divorce which is another indicator that its not an ironclad agreement lol.So by your standard they are all unfit for elected office.Does that apply to other powerful positions as well?? Some people think that just looking at dirty pictures of women is not being faithfull,how far do we take this morality thing?:dunno:
Dude you're living in fantasy land.
Bush lied us into a war that has killed 4,000 Americans for no reason. That's your biggest scumbag of all.
Do people know you post on a porn message board?
:rofl:
Congratulations!
This is one of the most vacuous, presumptive, immaterial attempts at a parallel I've seen in my time here :hatsoff:
[size=-2]and from a fellow Ducks fan, no less![/size]
This is one of the strangest left-turns in a thread, even for you Friday...:nono: Jimmy Hoffa is now a shining example of a politician? Are you crazy too? He was a greaseball mobster. He wasn't even "Robin Hood," he was just an effective Power-Horder Mobster...hardly a man qualified to be president..
AND AGAIN..the base qualities for a president are: intelligence, honesty, leadership. Not being a fuckup. Not "NOT WANTING TO LEAD"...That's about all that's required. Until yesterday, I think we both thought Johnny the Douche fit the mode, if not for Prez or Veep than for Atty General:weeping:
Politicians are pure scum until proven otherwise.

Agree ! ^
The Question Is :
Does the paternity test really even matter at this point ?
Forget about it Mr. Ed ! You betrayed a very sweet, well respected woman ! a woman who is meeting the greatest challenges of her life . . . cancer !
You're own wife !!!
Forget about it ! The DNC will not have you back !
Go back to your "law practice" and continue to compromise our health care apparatus with your frivolous misleading tendencies. You are to juries what a snake charmer is to serpents !
What the hell it pays :dunno:
Here's the thing ...
I judge people on not what they do, but what they say they don't do and, worse yet, judge others on.
Take one recent NY politician. He went around high'n mighty on his ethics and ruining other people's lives. Guess what? He merely didn't have an affair, he used illegal services and other things.
Frankly, I really don't care about people who cheat. What I care about is what happens when they do. Did they cross their own, publicly stated morals? Were they a hypocrite? Did they hurt people who were close to them?
I've never liked John Edwards because he was, essentially, an ambulance chaser at portions of his career. I really have to respect what someone has done with their life.
The only two politicians who have ran for President that had such details in their lives that impressed me were Ross Perot and, at least earlier in his life, Bob Dole. I really didn't appreciate people making fun of Bob Dole's arm.
JFK would have had his back made fun of if he ran in the '90s as well. Pathetic.
People really have their judgement screwed up these days. We try to apply this absolute morality to everyone. I don't worry about the cheaters. I worry about the people they hurt, especially if they were hypocritical judging others for the same things they do.
Especially in the case of our recent NY politician. It wasn't that someone "outted him," they were already doing a criminal investigation related to the illegal activities involved with is cheating. That takes it to a whole new level.
But apparently we're throwing everyone in that same pile.

Interesting. How do you figure?
It never ceases to amaze me ...
It never ceases to amaze me that some people think only Republicans preach morals and then hypocritically cross them.
I can remember countless Democrats who pass laws and enforcing all sorts of related things, as well as "holier than thou" ethics, and then violate them themselves.
The reality is that the majority of politicians, especially those that pass laws and/or preach ethics, don't live up to them. And why should they? They can often get away with it.
Unlike common folk.
I've repeatedly talked about what Congressmen and women can do on Capital Hill that would see them thrown in jail outside. This includes removing the right of someone to plead the 5th Amendment.
I don't "support" one party against another, and look past such things or say such rhetorical, pathetic non-sense like, "Oh, you just became a Republican." If you're still throwing your weight for one party against another, then maybe you should think about why government is the way it is?

Normally I don't get in to this type of discussions. But frankly I find this disgusting. Not what John Edwards did, but what the people in general & media in particular, doing.
Let me ask you a few questions:
1. How many American male population has extra-marital relationships? What is the percentage? Why restrict to America only, go International. And Why only male? Is it possible to have a relationship single handed?
2. Why there is a row now with an incident that happened a few years back?
Let me answer them, as I understand:
1. Extra-marital relationship is very common. Some doesn't go all the way, some does. Let me quote a few research papers.
2. Media has become a vulture. It abuses the freedom it enjoys. It deals on sensationalism. Bigger the sensation, bigger the sale and viewer. Let one media person come out and say that they haven't encountered an extramarital relationship in their own life, And then report about others. If Edwards wasn't a candidate, they would have cared a fig for the relationship. Media stinks of DOUBLE STANDARDS.
Lets get on a lighter mood:
Man: I'm going to contest in the election, I'm to be like a Caesar's wife.
Woman: Which one?
