Here's to hoping he gets the Chance to prove he at least has that much honor left... :glugglug:

That guy is such slime. Typical douchebag ambulance chaser. Good riddance.

 

[PirateKing]

Good to know he's thinking of his family.

Egoist of the decade. Boo-fucking-hoo man.

 

[Ulysses31]

Fucking scumbag pretending he can talk to dead people

And just think. This douchebag was running pretty high in the Presidential race. Wow! people are stupid....

Yeah, cheating on an ailing spouse is pretty douche-worthy. But there was another guy who was running even higher than Edwards (McCain) who did the same thing and another one considering running (Gingrich) who did the same thing.

It is pretty bad that Edwards was doing it while he was running but him concealing it while doing so doesn't make those who supported him stupid. They didn't know.

But if that's the kind of thing or douche-baggery that would bother someone you'd think the stupid people would be those who knew someone had done it then voted for the guy anyway.:dunno:

Wouldn't you know Meg shows up to try and deflect criticism against Edwards.

I'm not a huge supporter of gossip, but even the Enquirer averages somethng like 1 of 3 or 1 of 4 stories to be true. I had heard this informaiton about Edwards right when he started his bid. I know people like to smear people in high positions for personal benefit. However, some people never make the tabloids about things like "affairs." In my opinion it is because there aren't any. I sign of being truly up-and-up. I guess I wonder why people's radar doesn't work better??

I agree about McCain and the others as well. But then again I didn't vote living overseas. There is nothing more prohibitive to my voting than when I read on CNN that there are "said" number of absintee ballots yet to come in, but they are not enough to change the outcome of the poll. Great, I am a worthless vote. I haven't bothered since then... It is all screwy...

Good post H&M

Pay close attention Tri....you seem to have trouble following along these days. Don't worry..you'll have less multi-tasking here soon.

But I didn't deflect criticism from Edwards in response to miles... With respect to criticism of Edwards, I added to it.:2 cents:

The only criticism I countered was that being presumably charged against Edwards' supporters as being 'stupid'. If they didn't know for a fact what was being alleged or the veracity of the claims, how could they be 'stupid' in not considering it while they supported him?

And just think. This douchebag was running pretty high in the Presidential race. Wow! people are stupid....

vvv Response

It is pretty bad that Edwards was doing it while he was running but him concealing it while doing so doesn't make those who supported him stupid. They didn't know.<<<<The only criticism 'deflection' and it's not in defense of Edwards.

Sorry, Tri again..

It seems like your vote doesn't count but it does. Keep voting.:2 cents:

His supporters are ignorant and schmaltzy. You bring up Gingrich for the obvious attempt at deflecting criticism.

 

[Hot Mega]

His supporters are ignorant and schmaltzy.

Well, if you're talking about ignorance of Edwards' cheating on his sick wife..then that type of ignorance by his supporters wasn't a sin in my book. They didn't know and probably most couldn't have known. By definition, that is ignorant. But again, if you're so moved by the notion of a candidate cheating on his sick wife during the last campaign...there was another guy running pretty high where it was a known fact.

You bring up Gingrich for the obvious attempt at deflecting criticism.

Edwards is being criticized as a douchebag here primarily because he was cheating on his then sick wife. His supporters were then criticized for being stupid for presumably supporting him in spite of this.

I brought up Gingrich and McCain because the subject was raised of supporters of douchebags who cheat on their sick wives being stupid.

That shouldn't have been too hard to follow at all.:dunno:

It wasn't 'deflecting'. It was appropriately distributing.

I'll be happy to start a whip-round to help him: I've got a rope, some rat poison and some left over oxy here .....

You didn't have to bring up something everyone knew already. You merely did it to deflect criticism.

I could care less about Gingrich, he's a turd.

Except for the fact that a poster saying Edwards was running pretty high in the last election and therefore his supporters were stupid because of this.

It would occur to me then at least one person didn't know there was another guy running pretty high who did the same thing in the last election and one other who did the same thing who may run in the next election.

If you just read my first post instead of your preprogrammed anti 'Mega response, we wouldn't have had to make this circle.

 

[Trident1]

preprogrammed anti 'Mega response,

I read all of your thoughtful warm responses several times and only after careful deliberation do I submit a response.
Have you no heart?:crying:

 

[meesterperfect]

wow, gore when looney too after he lost the election.
I hope Obama doesn't do the same in 2013.

 

[TheOrangeCat]

Of course, any suggestion that this is a cynical move by Edwards and his cronies to pre-pollute the jury pool with a suicide threat (convict me and you kill me) is outrageous and would never be considered by someone of Edwards' high moral caliber.

Should have said so about 2K posts ago...that would partially explain some of your responses.:dunno:

yeah that's a tactic that only a shyster lawyer would use..........oh wait, what?

Doesn't he know he would get PC (protective custody)? The guy is so detached from the real world he doesn't even know this. They don't just throw high-profile cats in the general population.
