Oh, this is definitely a "both sides of the aisle are guilty" situation. This, to me, is not about politics whatsoever it's about MEN and making the right decisions in your life.
I firmly believe that men CAN keep it in their pants and stay faithful regardless of temptation WHEN THEY WANT TO. I had the impression John Edwards was that kind of guy. The way he always spoke about and doted on Elizabeth and seemed so geared toward his family, he just didn't seem like the type to "stray". And especially with what they've been through in losing their oldest son, her ongoing battles with cancer (oh, and his running for the nation's highest office - duh, idiot!) I just wouldn't have guessed he'd break that trust and commitment. I guess it just goes to show that you just never know.... (*eyes husband suspiciously over the top of her laptop* :p) |
Infidelity knows no boundaries - it can be found in every racial, religious, political and every other kind of group you can name.
But cheating on your cancer-stricken wife? I'm doubly glad he didn't become the nominee. And I refuse to give politicans a pass - they are still scum if they do it. |
Cheating on your wife while she's going through cancer treatments is a special kind of horrible. I couldn't even understand why he was in the race with Elizabeth having a relapse.

On another note, I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Hunter looks a hot mess!!!:D |
Well, this explains why his wife chose to follow him on the campaign trail instead of staying at home for her cancer treatments.

Her given name at birth was Lisa Druck. Hunter came from a former husband and from what I read, she had a wild side to her "Author Jay McInerney told the New York Post that Alison Poole, the protagonist of his 1988 novel “Story of My Life,” was based on Hunter, whom he dated for a few months in 1987 for six months back when she was named Lisa Druck" ................. "I told her. She smiled, and began telling me her life story: how she was working as a documentary-film maker, living with a friend in South Orange, N.J., but how she'd previously had 'many lives.' She'd worked, she said, as an actress and as a spiritual adviser. She was fiercely devoted to astrology and New Age spirituality. She'd been a New York party girl, she'd been married and divorced, she'd been a seeker and a teacher and was a firm believer in the power of truth."" I know what book I want to read now. |

I think what continues to bug me the most about stories like this is that they and their handlers deny with outrage and hostility first for as long as they can get away with, and then, only after being confronted with some kind of proof, do they then try the truth. I think adultery is equally as likely to happen in both parties. I think it's just a function of politicians being a narcissistic lot generally. |

I'd love to say that someone's private life shouldn't effect their professional life, but with public service, the two are so frequently, one in the same. |

Democrats? Republicans?
I no longer have a dog in that fight. :cool: I will be voting third party - haven't decided which. But yes, I did think Edwards was super-sleazy, although I couldn't put my finger on why during the campaign. It might be the Ken-like hairstyle (the Kens with the plastic hair, not the ones with the "real" hair.) |

I saw some tabloid at the grocery store the other day accusing Obama of infidelity and I was like "probably so." I'd believe it of anyone at this point. |

I was surprised at Edwards, too. I usually think he's a cutie but he's been looking ROUGH since this story broke. I agree with everything you said 100%. It bothers me that people pretend that men can't help themselves, regardless of who they are. Men CAN and some DO control themselves. I think that PEOPLE should be able to control themselves. |
