Yes and Obamahood was a cocaine addict. But, I guess that isn''''t relevant is it?

*** I don''t care about Obama being a crack addict, atleast he didn''t co-sponsor an amnesty bill to let over 20 million latino lawbreakers get amnesty!

John and Elizabeth Edwards are an example of everything that is wrong with America. Posted by suedehead91 at 03:28 PM : Sep 18, 2008
*** You are soo wrong! John and Elizabeth Edwards are eventhing that is RIGHT with America! They are a family coping with real problems that most americans face. Amnesty Mccain and Cindy Mcamnesty are the real problem of what is WRONG with America. Amnesty Mccain likes to take away our rights with the patriot act, but he WANTS TO GIVE AMNESTY to over 20 million latino law breakers. You tell me what is better for america. A rich guy that advocates helping the poor(just like the kennedys'') that just happened to make a few mistakes... or amnesty mccain that wants to give amnesty to over 20 million latino lawbreakers? I''ll take John Edwards over Amnesty Mccain every day of the week!

How can Elizabeth trust a guy who pays 400 bucks a haircut and endorses BARRACK HUSSEIN OSAMA?

*** I''d rather Edwards pay 400 bucks to a hairstylist for a haircut, rather than Amnesty MCcain wanting to give billions of our tax dollars to Oil Company Execs, and millions to help give amnesty to illegal latinos!

Sadly, this women is trying to face a terminal illness with as much grace as she can and you want to ridicule her unfortunate situation for your own politican ends. God must certainly be totally revolted by you.

If Elizabeth Edwards was informed by John Edwards in 2006 about his affair, why did HE continue as a DEM challenger to represent his party? Did he sleep through the Clinton years? (The Repubs find ways to explain their role models misbehavior, but use a different test for Democrats misbehavior.) The way the story broke, the timing, and their following reactions just make me wonder which other candidate benefited most. I was surprised at Edwards'' early dropping out of the race, but once the story broke, the puzzle came together.

She should be given her privacy to live her life to the fullest doing whatever she finds rewarding. His role will never be easy for he represents a diacotomy......rich person working for poor people''s benefit.....difficult to comprehend.

Are you people crazy!! Who give a *** about Edwards and his sleeping around?? There are bigger issues that deserve the focus of the American people.

Some of the folks commenting on here need to have the same type of personal issues happen to them, then maybe a spark of humanity will emerge. Most are spouting off but some truely believe what they say, and aren''t much of a person. What this family has went thru is their burden to bear, but the things they fight for are worthy issues. They are human, like McCain divorcing and marrying a 20 year younger wife, Palin''s daughter getting pregnant, Obama being raised by a single mother. Your lack of compassion is sickening, but I firmly believe your petty little lives are in the minority. You have my sympathy.

This woman is irrelevant, just like her ambulance chasing, *** banging charlatan of a husband. Do you get it Mr. & Mrs. Edwards, we don%u2019t care. Elizabeth, you are nothing but a weak little pawn. You lost every iota of sympathy when you lied to the American people. You hijack the Poor, the Un-insured, while you live in your palatial estate in NC (10,000+ sq. ft) counting the money your hustler husband made from suing hospitals. Don%u2019t you get it idiot, the reason health care is so expensive is because of jerks like John suing hospitals so that he can have yet another yacht, or mansion, or big black Mercedes sedan. Hey, at least Cindy McCain gave us beer, and Teresa Kerry gave us Ketchup. What the devil have you contributed to? Higher Premiums? Wake up people, John and Elizabeth Edwards are an example of everything that is wrong with America. They need to be shunned at every turn. Go back and climb under the rock from where you came from.
