okay, it's a report based on a national enquirer report, but they are the only publication in the country with
any credibility on this story (and how bad is it when THAT can be said?)

if it's true . . . damn.  just damn.

John Edwards promised Rielle Hunter they'd be together - report

One-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards promised his mistress they would reunited once his cancer-stricken wife died, the National Enquirer reported.

The Enquirer - which first broke word of the Edwards scandal - also reported that mistress Rielle Hunter refuses to make Edwards take a paternity test because she fears it will jeopardize their future.

Edwards, who admitted the affair earlier this month after repeated denials, remains in contact with Hunter even now, according to the Enquirer.

The North Carolina politician called her after his Aug. 8 confession on national television, reportedly telling her: "We'll be together when Elizabeth is gone."

One day before Edwards went public with the affair, Hunter and 6-month-old daughter Frances were flown to the Virgin Islands on a chartered jet, the Enquirer reported

Part of me wants to laugh at Edwards' gall, part of me wants to hang my head. 

I laughed.

apparently, she stayed with him because she didn't want her children to be fatherless after she was gone . . . .

and edwards didn't confess to his wife, the enquirer reported that someone in the campaign caught his in flagrante with
reille, it got out, and elizabeth confronted him.

this guy came within 80,000 votes of being vice president, and he was a leading candidate for the democrat nomination
for president. . . .

Whether you like Elizabeth Edwards or not...she's in a serious health crisis and it's only a matter of time before she dies.

I cannot imagine her physical pain.....but her emotional pain at finding out her "devoted" husband is not only sleeping around with someone she knows....which is worse than someone she doesn't.....but has also had a child with......has to far exceed her physical pain.

And what a sterling example he is for his children......

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

I can understand to a certain extent staying because of the kids but there has to be a point where one looks around and asks is this the kind of person I want raising my children and guiding their morals and values?

And I, too, understand your point.  This same Elizabeth Edwards stood next to her husband, who was was lying through his teeth when he was claiming how upstanding and family oriented he was, and in essance lied along with him.  I'm going to have to conclude that her morals and values aren't exactly up to par either, in which case, the kids can't catch a break either way.

I'm sure he told her some such outrageous BS with no intention to follow through, how anyone beyond the two of them would know about it is pretty hard to see, though.

I have been assuming that she is telling friends, and one or more of them is the enquirer's "source".

His children with Elizabeth will hate their father when they're old enough to understand this.  So not only has he hurt his wife, but he has alienated his kids as well. 
Although I'm not one bit surprised, he has snake written all over him, he just exudes phoniness..His "let's help the poor" gig was a farce and I can't believe there were people who believed in him.

^if you look closely at the photo from last year when they renewed their wedding vows, the eldest daughter (college age) looks pissed off. Could be a quirk - photos can catch a bad pose - but I swear it looks that way to me.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

A stiff one will promise anything, a limp one will deliver nothing.

When will women learn this simple rule of............thumb?
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
