I am totally disgusted and in shock by John Edwards statement. He's just disgustingly selfish.?

Question

I can't believe that he said that he just got so big he didn't think he had to play by the rules. Rules? It's not about RULES, it's about having a conscience. He is obviously absent of one, and I am GLAD he lost. I don't even want him around politics, or anything that deals with public service. He's just a USER. His poor wife. She probably got cancer being stressed out by HIS selfish wants, needs, and aspirations. The other woman in no better either, she just steps up the definition of low bottoms. She goes after a man who's wife is battling cancer. YUCK.

She makes Monica Lewinsky look like a saint. Is there anyone else that feels this way? I had actually considered voting for him. I wish there were prisons for selfish low-life pricks, but I guess there is not.

So I guess it's just up to karma. How do you feel about it?

Answer 1

He's a trial lawyer. What do you expect?

Answer 2

Well apparently he claimed she was still in remission when this happened. Anyway you don't get cancer from stress. I do think he is a pretty sad person though.

Answer 3

Research into the neurobiological substrates of behavior (why people do what they do as determined by brain structure and electrochemical activity in different brain sites) show that animals that have a heavy cerebral cortex (the part of the brain that is more developed in humans than lower primates) and a small amygdala  are more intelligent, gentle and passive when provoked (Clever and Bucy, 1937) These animals love to have s*x instead of making war.

Conversely animals with larger amygdalas and smaller cerebral cortexes display a low s*x drive but easily explode into violent rage. These creatures "are known for their vile temper and readiness to aggress" ...(go to war)

Perhaps the more intelligent high cortex beings like Gary Harts, Bill Clinton's, Ronald Reagan John Kennedy, and John Edwards would save hundreds of thousand of lives by not going to war, while trolls like George Bush and d**k Cheney can only get off by killing thousand of people instead of enjoying s*x.

Along these lines we should all vote John McCain. He had numerous affairs while with his first wife to get to Cindy who is pretty hot. He might just be lieing about staying in Iraq to fool the right wing conservatives and get himself elected.

Then he will pull out prematurely.

Vote John Horny McCain in 2008!

Answer 4

This is a problem with almost all monogamous relationships.  People get tired of each other.  It happens :)  It's not like he was strangling puppies or something.  :)

When you're in politics, people try to hold you in some higher regard, as if you were a saint.  They only vote for people who have families, religion and aren't g*y.  If you want to get elected, you can't divorce your wife. Ever!

So, what's a guy to do in a faled relatonship he can never leave because it's bad for his career?  

-- Also, it's possible to be "in love" with more then one person at a time.  Whose to say he doesn't love his wife and his girlfrend? :)  It might not be socially unacceptable, but that doesn't mean it isn't true :)

Besides, who cares who a guy has s*x with?  I just want him to lower my taxes :)

P.S. If people had more open relationshps, none of this would be a problem for anyone, ever :)

Answer 5

I'm over it.  He's a human being.  He certainly didn't invent adultery OR lying about it.  

Answer 6

I am sure you were just as outraged at Newt, right?

Answer 7

I think you should post this in craigslist.com rant's section more so than on this forum.

Anyways, my opinion is: he'll die.

Simple, right?

Answer 8

Most people in politics today seem to be amazingly corrupt. And it's in both parties too; Newt Gingrich was caught in a similar situation. There are some good politicians, but they are getting harder and harder to find.

Answer 9

I agree with  you, the man is very narcissistic.  Like you, I almost thought about voting for him too.  Glad he is out of the running.  The smuck had the nerve to come on TV and talk about his wife, saying stuff like, we been married for 30 years, she's my best friend, and all of that but he never said, she was his lover.  I noticed that.  People usually add and she's my best friend, my wife, my lover, etc.  He omitted that important word.  Made me go, hm-mm?

Answer 10

And all this while he was preaching good family values for America, I knew something was up with a guy who has not 1 hair out of place!
