“Everybody does it.”
Dem visions for America or their own worst nightmares?

Oh well, THAT makes it OK then. After all, it's unrealistic to expect a man not to cheat on his wife if she has cancer.
Funny how that rule conveniently applies exclusively to liberals/dhimmicrats. For all you unwashed masses, p*ss off...

"We have unrealistic expectations for people..."
And THAT'S certainly true of Ears Hussein.
“The truth is a lot of ordinary, average Americans have affairs,” Wolfson told Fox News.
Yes, they do. And when found out they become pariahs in their communities.
YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM TO DISCONTINUE HIS RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. You were just as egocentric as he, just as narcissistic.
Right now you should be demanding that Reille Hunter agree to a paternity test, as your husband has — SO THE TRUTH CAN COME OUT.
I don't expect you to do that, as YOU KNOW THE TRUTH.
According the the Enquirer editor, Edwards met with Hunter and the baby several times in recent months, before getting caught in July. WHAT ABOUT THAT?
"The truth is a lot of ordinary, average Americans have affairs," Wolfson told Fox News.
Honesty, integrity, and fidelity are human characteristics that most Americans admire and strive to in their daily lives. When someone puts themselves forward as a leader and is lifted by the media to the status of national figure, we expect that they conduct themselves in a manner fitting to the trust we have put in them.
Yes, Edwards is human. But he is no longer a man worthy of consideration as a leader of this country. He betrayed a trust then covered it up and used his media celebrity to deflect the criticism due. He has yet to tell the whole story and the MSM continues to assist in deceiving the American people. He deserves to be shunned.
Edwards, Clinton, McCain - the violation of the marriage covenant knows no political boundaries. Sad.
I don’t really understand how this affects Democrats.
They don’t offer any moralistic behavior, so this is just par for the course for them. Of course, Edwards foibles will probably just be blamed on someone else. Because, you are never responsible for your own actions if you are a Democrat.
Even when their wife is dying of cancer.
I expect will see all kinds of rationalizations and apologies for Edwards’ behavior in the Drive By Media.
If it's no big deal then the Democrat Party should let him speak at the convention.
....whose emails have surfaced in which it is revealed that her pet name for Silky Pony was LOVE LIPS.
Bill Clinton lied about extramarital sex, and he’s speaking at the convention.
I guess under Democrat diversity rules, one philanderer at the convention is enough.
But her cancer was in remission......!
Good point I also concur.
Won’t matter.
Elizabeth Edwards wrote an explanation to the DailyKos? I guess the Edwards know who their audience is.
