BS - He simply lacks moral integrity.

Why Men Like John Edwards Cheat....big head...urge to merge with other women...all ego driven.

[Farmer Dean]

That’s the correct answer-he’s a bum.

He put himSELF first. One phrase says it best: “Men do not refrain from cheating because they have special wives, but because they have a commitment to moral behavior and righteous action.”

In the old days we called it sin.

do men who have it all like John Edwards throw away their blessings?"

Because type "A" personalities ALWAYS want more. IMHO

"Far from judging Edwards, my heart goes out to him. His is an American tragedy."

Typical liberal thought process. Ignore the facts and don't engage in any logical, objective analysis. Just go with the "feelings" and get all emotional.

Why does a dog lick his...? Because he can.

When he was asked by the interviewer why he had done it, instead of the long psychobabble response he had given, if he had just said, "Well, I got horny," he would have been more believable.

Edwards is a real t*rd, just like der schliekmeister, Spitzer, et al. These guys are public figures. They have to know that they will be caught by some reporter trying to write his career story, and that when they are caught, their families will be, not just humiliated, but publicly humiliated.

They broke a promise they made to their spouses before G-d, but that’s between them and their G-d and their families, which doesn’t mean that they should still be elected to high office.

The worst of all this is that they publicly humiliate the families that they claim to love.

Far from judging Edwards, my heart goes out to him. His is an American tragedy.

No American tragedy. John Edwards is solely responsible for his decisions every moment of every day. To deceive honest, hard-working Americans into believing you are something that you are not is contemptible. My contempt goes out to him. He is a low-life, scum-sucking idiot. He is also a liar, lawyer, former Senator, former Presidential candidate.

What truly makes me special is my relationship with my Savior.

[Liberty Wins]

Character counts. Also, public figures are going to have to get smarter and study the success of men like Billy Graham. Graham listened to his advisors in the very beginning and adopted a rigid policy of never being alone with female workers around the office or on the road.

The truth is, some politicians regard groupies as part of the perks they are entitled to, like rock stars.

Take care, Michelle.

“In the old days we called it sin.”

Perhaps so, but men like Edwards cheated regularly then, as well. In fact, back in some of those days couples that no longer got along but didn’t feel they could divorce because of the stigma simply had “arrangements.” Everybody knew, but it just wasn’t talked about in public.

Having lost my wife to cancer a number of years ago when she was 28, I've discovered there are a LOT of women who embrace the edwards/clinton lifestyle of lying and cheating.

Some have even claimed to be conservative Christians but ultimately they expose themselves as typical liberals without any absolutes of values or morals.

So both men and women choose this lifestyle.

Humm Elizabeth Edwards is "sexy" according to Silky Pony. i am going to be sick.

Sorry. Real men do not cheat on their wives.

[mad_as_he$$]

Truth be known I have picked up WAAYYY more women for casual sex at church than in bars. Didn't have to buy them drinks either.

Sorry about your loss, 28 is a true tragedy.....I hate cancer.

Bullsnot. Men with nice hair and/or lots of money are going to cheat, because too many stupid wimmin go for that stuff.

[fleagle]

This kind of "why men (in this case Edwards) cheat" stuff is such bunk. He cheated because he willingly placed himself in a situation where cheating easily happened. Half of life, maybe more, is keeping yourself out of trouble by NOT putting yourself in situations where bad stuff can happen. Edwards sought out this affair and deserves zero sympathy.

Edwards has no character, and people with no character do hurtful and awful things to the ones they claim to love the most. They love themselves SO much more than anyone else.
