Comments on: Why Elizabeth Edwards Stands By John

She Reveals All In New Memoir

[MissUT]

Let's see, I expect that no one from the Dems is from the South? Oh wait, John and Elizabeth live in the Carolinas, Al Gore lives in Kentucky, and Bill Clinton was from Arkansas. So, why is that the South is trashed only when talking about Republicans? Apparently all the southern Democrats are above reproach?

Sorry, leeanna59, Al Gore is from and lives in the great state of Tennessee!

I am appalled at the harsh comments directed at Elizabeth Edwards. Her political affiliation has no bearing on this story whatsoever. She is a woman with recurring terminal breast
cancer, who has been dealt a lot of heartache in her life. Just the fact that she lost a 16 yr old son and managed to cope with that loss means she is worthy of my respect. I fear none of us would fare very well if we had to live in glass houses.
I wish Elizabeth Edwards the very best that life can offer her at this point. If talking about her hardships in this life helps her deal with, who are we to judge her.
NONE of her problems have been through some fault of her own...loss of a child, recurring cancer, and an unfaithful spouse. She should have our admiration, not our scorn. Shame on some of you for your disgusting comments.

When ever Libs want to trash the Republicans, they always trash the South. I'm not from the South, but I have lived there and I found it to be quite lovely.

And what about that toe-tappin' Craig? Huh? What about that?

Democrats jump with glee at a character scandal involving the GOP.

But when it's one of their own, it's just "noboody'd perfect, why can't you just leave her alone, boo hoo."

Nice double standard, libs.

Oh, this is a true story? I thought it was a made the TV drama. I watched the drama unfold and thought "this woman cannot be for real". She has a mental problem as well as cancer. The media made her out to be so heroic it made me want to just throw up. On top of her illness, she now reveals she knew of his infidelity. This is one sick woman actually exposing the country to this rabid dog husband of hers even if she got him on a choke chain while all along playing poor, poor, pitiful me. Sick!

[coldasgold]

Why doesn't she just tell us the true reasoning behind her standing by her man is that she knew if she didn't want him to leave her, there was no way he could. With her being sick & all the negative media he would have been castigated by the public. She has got this dog home trained with the biggest chain around his neck. There is no way this dog changes venues ... LOL

It's because she's a Democrat and so is he.

Democrats think Democrats can do no wrong.

But they bash Bush for every burned out lightbulb in the past 8 years.

That's why.

I agree! The stupid woman begs for privacy, then writes a book about it and promotes the story to sell a freakng book, and runs and appears on talk shows yapping like a parrot about.

Is she even sane?

I thought she was terminally ill? What's up with that? Did she have a pimple on her boob and use it as an excuse to get the sympathy vote?

Hmmmmm....well hung?

We should be careful with the seeds of judgement that we sow. One day, we could find ourselves in a similar circumstance and our words may come back to bite us. Also, "boys flying kites can haul in their white wing birds, but you can't do the same when you are flying words".

We can be sure, this is not the first time that Mr.Edwards has done something like this. This is just the first time he got caught.
