Why is McCain's adultery OK and Edward's TERRIBLE?

Question

If Edwards had done this 15 years ago, would it be irrelevant now, as people say about McCain?

Do McCain's older kids ever talk about him?

Answer 1

Man, you guys just don't get it do you? That and you don't know the whole story either so stop hand picking quotes that are out of context. Oh and in case you didn't notice, Perot was trying to win the nomination at that time so its pure BS. McCain and his wife separated because they could resolve the differences they had after he returned. its not an uncommon thing.

Oh and since when is it a crime to get remarried after a divorce?

Eric - You are so full of it!

Answer 2

It's only terrible to the Republicans.  They'll find a way to rationalize McCain's adultery.  John Edwards isn't running for President; McCain is.  But Sean Hannity got fired back good on this subject with Alan.  McCain's older kids rarely talk to him let alone about him.  He even talked one into attending some campaign events.  But it has been rumored that they are not so friendly with him for the way he did their Mom.

Edit:  ilitrt-The proof is that McCain admitted to the affair many yrs. ago.

Answer 3

WHATEVER HAPPENED OCCURED long ago and there is no proof of adultery. Your BLOG proves nothing. NO adultery at all

Answer 4

Good question.  And Edwards is not running for president or any other office.

Answer 5

typical con double standard, they are above the law, moral and otherwise

Answer 6

Because if you are a Republican you can do no wrong...or at least ever admit that you are wrong.

Answer 7

Edwards paid his trollop with campaign funds.

Answer 8

The Republicans say it terrible because Edwards isn't "one of them", what McCain did is perfectly OK because McCain is "one of them".  The Dem's say the reverse for the same reasons, and you'll notice McCain himself has, quite sensibly, stayed quiet.  What else would you expect in Politics?

Answer 9

Weren't there whispers of McCain's staffers urging him to stop seeing some female lobbyist on his team? If it's true, then the old goat must have one wicked tongue!

Answer 10

All news channels are completely unbiased except for the super conservative Fox. Fox tries to tear apart liberals, and the rest, CNN, NBC... just report the news.

Answer 11

McCain admitted his affair 30 years ago. He didn't lie about it and wasn't running for any office at the time.

Issue with Edwards is not the affair but the hypocrisy. He was running as presidential campaign on his integrity with his wife by his side all the while lying to his supporters.

Answer 12

Because Edwards picked a REALLY ugly woman!!!

Answer 13

republicans are known for their immoralilty and for being cauht in sexually compromising trists.  So this is why mccain's is no big deal....its part for the course for GOPers.

Answer 14

because Mccain is as old as satan maybe he was there when adam ate the fruit??
