Dear Elizabeth,
While I differ with you ideologically there are somethings that should transcend politics. I just wanted you to know that I have you and your family in my prayers and that I wish you the strength to get through these trying times.
I wish I could say I'm sorry for your husband but I can not understand what he did but I pray that you do not let this weaken your spirits. Cancer is bad enough by itself. My sister died from cancer when she was 21 shortly after having my nephew so I know a little bit about cancer and how stress only makes things worse.
That said, I wish you and your children well. There is nothing a man can do to make up for this kind of betrayal but you can do yourself and your children well by continuing to focus on your blessings and keeping your strength up. We can not let the value of our lives be measured by those who hurt us.
Prayerfully Yours-Mael
The other, also well-intended, thread got pulled, but these sorts of sentiments are appreciated. Shows how much (better?) - at least compassionate - our side is than theirs.
A red-herring post.
Elizabeth Edwards knew of the affair and she kept the lie alive.
Dear Elizabeth,
Perhaps you are a serious and worthwhile person. Obviously your husband is not, but that is is deal, not yours.
Family values is just another card to be played in politics, and there’s no litmus test to find out who really has them, but I’d say that conservative Republicans seem to have a better batting average. They have to, because the MSM keeps them under a microscope.
You are more charitable than I am.
This woman was willing to foist Mr. Two-Americas on this nation, knowing he was lying his rear end off.
And she was willing to milk the sympathy of the American public for her cancer, while insisting on campaigning for her lowlife husband, instead of using the time she has left to be with her young children and make memories with them.
Think of it—both of them actually thought it was more important to campaign for President, lying to us in the process and robbing their children of irreplaceable time with them before Elizabeth leaves this vale of tears.
Honestly, who does that? What American value is that?
It is absurd and horrible, and I have trouble ginning up enough sympathy for these two posers.
I will send her a letter. She is in need of support and love, and I know what it is like to find out that the one you love has betrayed you...
I will lift her up in prayer to God.
What a piece of work that man is to do something like this to them.
I was diagnosed with cancer six years ago. That diagnosis was accompanied by major surgery and chemotherapy and all the negatives that went with that. Ergo, I pray for ALL cancer victims, even the fat drunken blob from Massachusetts. I sense first hand the whole experience.
In the case of Ms. Edwards, lets put it in perspective. When you put the cancer to one side, she both condescended and disdained the vast majority of those who populate FR.
So, while I will always take the approach of the evangelist, John, in dealing with humans, I will not take this approach as a simpleton and believe Elizabeth Edwards gives a tinkers darn about sympathy or empathy from conservatives.
No thanks. I was never taken with Elizabeth Edwards. Besides, she considers herself a political player. From all accounts, she knew about her husbands affair.
I'm getting tired of watching Republicans take the heat from the liberal establishment, while Democrats be given a complete pass.
Pray for Elizabeth.shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach AdonaiPray that she turns from being a foot soldier in the Democrat Party.
The political Party with the Platform to:
and that she accepts the forgiveness of Yah'shua for her public sins.
- kill babies mostly black babies
- promote sexual perversion
- steal from some and claim to give to others.
- destroy families
Seems Elizabeth was in on the thing the whole time and was a willing participant in the cover-up.
This part I think we can all take to heart and do well to remember, as we've all been hurt by someone in some way at some point in our lives:
"We can not let the value of our lives be measured by those who hurt us."
In fact, I copied it down as a reminder to myself. Thanks so much for writing it.
Elizabeth Edwards is in my prayers.
I feel sorry for her but I cannot get past how smarmy she was toward the Cheneys and their daughter’s lesbianism.
Elizabeth was a hard nosed liberal politico who is probably smarter than the silky pony she hitched her political cart too. Sorry for her, yes. Respect her - no. I am right on the the same plane as feeling sorry for Hillary when Monica’s blue dress turned up stained with her husbands semen.
I hope Elizabeth survives a long time to raise her children and fades out of poltical life. Her epitaph will at least be more graceful than that of her philandering husband.
You’re a sucker. She has the life she’s made for herself. How dare anyone feel sorry for her? She’s just another cheesy lawyer married to an even cheesier lawyer. What’s she’s suffering now is pure karma.
Yes, prayers to E;izabeth. And for her to gather strength to fight cancer.
I’ll pray for her not to suffer, but I don’t have that much compassion for her. She helped perpetuate his lies, and for political gain at that. I just don’t have enough sympathy to spare for her, as far as the affair and love child issue goes.
I do feel terrible for her children though....they are the innocents here, and do need prayers and compassion.
I feel sorry for her medical condition but its inconceivable that we all could know with reasonable certainty about her husband’s extramarital shenanigans and she would be oblivious.
Odds are she knew something was up quite a while ago. Today’s news publicly embarrasses her and removes all public doubt. But I don’t think she was wide eyed and naive - the only thing different today is that the rest of us know with no doubt what she almost certainly knew all along.
How old is this story? I couldn’t find a date on it, but if they follow the practice of using the date in the URL, the story would be from October 2006 (although there is a link to a 2007 items.
Suggesting a very old date is the fact that the book signing ‘some months before’ was prior to Edward’s 2006 announcement of his candidacy. So the article appears to be at least a year old.
