I guess I don't really see anything wrong with infidelity. I don't think that having an affair makes a "lie" or "sham" of his marriage. He and Elizabeth have done a lot together--they have a deep relationship. Who knows what the affair was about, but maybe some fun, passion and stress relief. I guess I don't see anything wrong with that, and I don't understand why Americans care so much about monogamy in their leaders, when a) so few of them are monogamous and b) so many regular wives and husbands "cheat" on their spouses.

I don't BELIEVE he told his family UNTIL his little escapade in CA. After all, Elizabeth DID NOT KNOW he saw his "ex-mistress" and if she was his ex - lay, what was he doing there at 2:30 am sneaking out the back. I really believe he was screwing her this whole time and that he got caught. Elizabeth, class act that she is, has to cover for the sum bag for the SAKE of her young children. He is a low life who thinks he is better than anyone else. After all, that video of him ranting and raving about how honest he is and his moral are the best for the country (while some woman not seen on the video is giggling). I am glad the National Enquirer was diligent enough to stay with it and catch the liar. HOW can you think of your dick while your wife has cancer??? Put her through being publicly humiliated. He thinks only of himself like most people who have money. If he really felt contrite, he should put give his family enough money to live for the rest of their lives, he gives the rest away t

Between her bulbous nose, misaligned teeth, and aggressive "Jay Leno" chin, I can't decide what's her single most repulsive feature -- probably the feature that can't be seen in a picture -- her character!

I'm impressed by the diversity of lunacy here. If you are in a committed relationship you have sex with that person. When you make a commitment to a partner you keep that commitment. If you don't you are of questionable character. If you are of questionable character you leadership abilities are also questionable....

What is Edwards blind? This tramp has n!gger fvcker written all over her! He could have picked up any slut at a beer bar that looks better than her! I know Edwards said that she was a "sloppy fvck" and wondered if darkies had been doing her in the past.

John Edwards' actions are not excusable, but he's no longer a candidate. The future is between him and his family. It didn't surprise me that McCain stuttered when asked to comment and then declined comment...he likely wants people to forget how he ended up with Cindy. At least Edwards didn't divorce his sick wife and marry his mistress a month later like McCain did. Why doesn't the press talk about the character of the man who IS running for the highest office.

Dear Chris,
I am saddened by your statement: "So what if he had sex with another woman. As long as he loves his family, what does it matter? A man is oly as faithful as his next option. Ladies, if you marry a man in the spotlight, dont expect bhim to be faithful. It's in a mans DNA to want to have sex. It's mother Natures doing, not ours"
So you are saying as long as a man loves his family it is okay to go have sex with any Tom, Dick, and Harry?? The man can or can not be in the spotlight....it doesn't matter to be a good person! There are many poeple in the spotlight that are honest people. And what's this crap about his DNA?!?! Come on!! Women, just as well as men, have a sex drive! It all revolves around honesty and controlling your urges, which is something you obviously can't do! You ought to be ashamed - you are giving all the good guys a bad rap. There are good ones out there, too bad you don't fall on that list!

To S. Warren: In your statement: " Hey, I do not like the Demo's and this guy is a real hand job. Lets be honest here, he was not getting any puss at home so he went and found a decent piece of trim and banged it. I give him credit for finding a place to tame the snake."
Let's be honest, you are a creep! I'm sure most ladies would agree. From your statement, I would have to say that you are not happily married or in a committed relationship. You truly don't know the morals of a healthy relationship. I feel bad for the woman who gets you. Your thoughts, opinions, and actions are the reasons why relationships fall apart. Good luck, you will need it!

This "gentleman" has shown himself a Disgrace to his Southern Upbringing, and a Disloyal Spouse to his wife. His shame will follow him throughout, and he can never really "make it up" to her for the Shame he has brought upon her. Figures he wanted to be President....or maybe the running mate for Hussein Obama!

I guess that you'd have to rank this right up there with Newt Gingrich forcing his first wife to sign their divorce papers right as she was coming out of surgery for her cancer. But what I find even sadder than these immoral acts is the fact that majority of voters in this country continue to elect and re-elect these idiots because they actually believe that these morons are doing something for them. In fact, all that they're doing is screwing everything up and screwing everyone they can get a hold of. So in essence the American voters are just as responsible for these acts of immorality as the so-called politicians because we're the one's who put them in the limelight where as a result they become narcissistic madmen.

You know he's a Democrat because if he were a Repukelican he'd have had an affair with a dude ( Larry Craig). Or, a hooker while he was in diapers (David Vitter). Or, he'd have left his wife while she was recovering from surgery (Newt Gingrich). Or, he'd have cheated on his wife, dumped her, then married the mistress (John McSame). Or, he'd have told her he was dumping her at a press conference (Rudy Giuliani).

Men need it?? Krystal-do you have grown up lady parts? I'm thinking you dont because women need it too...the idea that only men have a libido is seriously outdated..however the thing that separates us from animals is our ability to CONTROL our bodily urges-hence the reason I dont bash some restaurant patrons over the head and steal their food just because I AM hungry...I suggest you see a marriage counselor and find out why only your husband has a "need" for what you do in the bedroom...

She looks like Jay Leno's brother. Politicians are basically career criminals trying to tell working people how to run their lives.
Why is it that men say why her because she's not Paris Hilton hot? Because they think with there unit! Why do women blame the other women? Because they don't want to think 'Their Man' would never do that (he loves me) and it had to be the other woman. Wake up!!!

Good grief, give Edwards a break. Ms Edwards seems like a nice lady but unless you're involved in the relationship you really have no right to judge. JE has an extremely high pressure job and I'm sure this was only exacerbated by his wife's illness. Maybe he was just tired and vulnerable. Maybe she's a lousy wife and he couldn't divorce her becuase it would be politically unsound. Maybe about a million things but we just don't know because it's not our relationship.
Worry about your own lives and spouses and get your noses out of celebrity's crotches.

John Edwards' career is down the toilet and Reille Hunter will be posing for Playboy, sporting a newly purchased pair of fake breasts, in no time for millions of dollars.
Our country is filled with corruption, especially when it comes to sexuality.

Belva - Typical for the neocons--attacks without substance even though thier own party says they are about the facts and truth and higher morality. I hate to say this but the neocons, which tend to be the religous right, always have to insert religious theology into all political discussions. What ever happened to seperation of church and state. I don't want any religious group telling me what, when, where, why, and how. Religions are nothing more than a lifelong 12 step program for those who can't think for themselves.......policitally or individually.
