Why We Love to Loathe John Edwards: It's Science

I have been including a MLP pic with every John Edwards thread for the past ten years or so.

Sorry I missed them. I once lived in NC, and still have several good friends in NC. They all dislike Edwards so much, especially the ones from his district in NC. I have no idea how he got himself elected, if their venom toward him is any indicator.

I am disturbed by the fact that you can identify individual ponies by name.

Several horse-crazed daughters will do that to a person. What has been learned cannot be unlearned.

“Since all money is fungable, any campaign money he received from donors or the government(you and I) must be spent on the campaign only.”

My question is, how can you say the hush money wasn’t spent on his campaign? Seems to me scandal is the most relevant thing possible. Had the story broke he’d have been deader than Lincoln. We must get this insane notion working backwards. Keeping her quiet must be illegal, because it’s so yucky; therefore, it wasn’t related to the campaign. Even though it so painfully obviously was.

By the way, why the heck do we hgave public financing of campaings, anyway? To keep corruption out, or something? How’s that working? But that’s another question.
