I have mixed feelings about Elizabeth Edwards. I have sympathy for her and her struggles with cancer. I think she handled her husband’s outrageous conduct with dignity at the end. However, before she got cancer (and before it got bad) she was a partisan political wife if there ever was one. I won’t say more than that out of respect for the dead. Suffices to say rest in peace.
You expressed well what many of us think...and that with respect...thank you.
“she was a partisan political wife if there ever was one.”
I have a hard time with those who keep saying things like this - “she was a partisan political wife.” Well, we don’t approve of the politics involved, but isn’t supporting her husband in his pursuits no matter what the cost the ultimate love of a wife? (Or what conservatives say they support) 180 degrees from what that jerk did to her, and what he deserved, but it is what she gave. It’s so sad she went to such lengths to please him, and he couldn’t give her a thing in return.
