John Edwards, a Sorry Son of a GUN.

NO married man shold do this!

Ya know, I was all about john edwards when he was running. I thought he was the best. Then all this came out. At first I thought that he just messed up and his wife knew of it before it hit the press and that it was a personal problem between the two of them. I felt bad that the media latched on to it. And then the drama and lies continue and grow. I lost all respect for him. It's rare that I trust any of the politicians but I really trusted this guy and was really into his campaign.

I don't really know about this John Edwards but I was curious to know what the whole thing about him? I'm glad you explained it to the first respondent. And Ohhhh I understand why you feel that way. I hate philandering husbands but I hate even more those who can do such despite the pitiful condition of the wife. What kind of heart does this John Edwards has? And the girlfriend too! How could they ever engage in such kind of immoral action not even considering Elizabeth's condition. Well dear I hope both of them could be in the firing squad. Yes you are right John Edwards must be the first who instigated but if I were the woman I would not even dare to submit.

Yes, John Edwards was a disappointment.

In the beginning you think what a good looking angel like face. Wanting to help the poor people. Then he decides to do something so stupid as cheat on his sick wife.I blame both the mistress and John for such disgusting behavior. She actually went to his house and fooled around with John in his house. How does one do such a thing. So disrespectful behavior. I feel so bad for Elizabeth. Here she is sick and he does such a thing to the family. He of course was not thinking with the right head. He makes me so sick. Then having Andrew Young cover for him by paying him off so he makes believe the child is his instead of John's. How stupid is John to think he was going to get away with this. He is getting what he deserves.

DEar Jo, As I don´t live in the US I don´t know what he did . Please enlighten me. Isounds awful, from your post. Hug!

Someone having an affair is usually not the point break of a marriage..it's the end result. I am thinking they probably emotionally seperated a long time ago....don't blame the other woman...people have to look first at their relationship....he obviously was not as committed as his wife so now she can find someone who wants to have a real relationship.

I couldn't agree more Jo. He's the lowest of the low. He's scum of the earth. How could anybody do such a thing to his or her spouse, especially dying spouse?! Sure, mistakes happen but impregnating another woman and then denying the deed is even worse! His daughter is going to see that when she grows up and I hope she throws him the towel which is what he deserves! May Elizabeth find peace in the midst of this awful deed.

It certainly takes two to tango! Actually, when the primaries were going on in the USA I just felt that there was something smarmy about him. I felt he used his wife's illness to promote his campaign to be President of the USA. Maybe I'm wrong but that was how I felt. He just appeared false to me. How he could do this to a wife of 32 years that has stage 4 cancer I just don't know. He is a slimy creepy crawly person.

If I were his wife..your better believe I would be blaming him! He's the one that made a vow to his wife..not that other woman. Yes..the woman certainly doesn't have angels flying out of her rear but it is ultimatly up to him. He probably told her all kinds of stories to keep the relationship going.

Hi Jo...when I hear of the things that man has done, I just thank God he never became our president. Anyone who fools around on his dying wife, bys off his friends, denies his own child, illegitimate or not, lies through the hairs on his head the way John Edwards has...shoot, there should be a law against all of it. In my personal opinion, all people like that should be behind bars where they cannot do such harm to others. Karen

i think any man or woman that cheats on their spouse is a schum ball,and they are all over the place.it is their own fault no one is holding agun on them and make them do it.
