John Edwards, the man who would be president, instead philanderer and now criminal?

How the mighty have fallen. We read that somewhere. And right here in our midst an example: John Edwards, the lawyer who made a fortune playing a good guy fighting big bad guys. He wanted to be president and tried twice.

He wanted to be a husband and father – then cheated on his wife even as she suffered from cancer and got his girl friend pregnant, then said it was someone else’s child. Whatta guy . . .

Edwards is done. The real story here for me is how the MSM protected this guy and made excuses for him right up to the point where it was so obvious what he had done that they couldn’t ignore it anymore. Then, once he was no longer an influential Democrat, they piled on him and reported what they should have reported when he was running for president. It shows just how dangerous our media is. Hide crimes and bad character flaws of anyone who holds the right views if there is a chance they can get into power to advance the agenda.

He knew his wife was dying and if would have kept his hands to himself and his pants on he could have had everything he wanted. He just couldn't wait.

If that rich P.O.S. had paid for his whore with his own money he would not be in this pickle. Where is the Homer Simpson Ha Ha picture?

Yeah? I don't know... let's see...

Con-man, bottom-feeder, hypocrite, adulterer, liar, self-centered, self-important, self-serving, selfish... and now potentially with a criminal record.

Seems like a perfect representative of the democrat party to me.

Excellent, most relevant post of the day.

America has been murdered by the liar MSM/DBM.

However, we are stuck with a lot of idiot voters who would have made him president.

Yeah, not to mention, hopefully it turns out the man paid for it all out of his own pocket too. If anyone has an affair, they should pay out of their own pocket, IMO.
