Boggles the mind that John Edwards is indicted while not one indictment for the crooks who took down
the middle class or the war profiteers..a crime is a crime but gheezh..in the big picture, this is small potatoes
More whining from the smart-i-est people on the interwebs.

3. The lesson is
Oppose the corporatocracy and you will be ruined.
Play ball with the power elite and you can get away with anything you want. We are a banana republic.
Are you calling the President of the US a Monkey? THAT'S RACIST!!!

4. How about the traitors who lied America into two illegal, immoral and disastrous wars of agression?

This whole John Edwards story is pure bullshit
First of all, if he really did use campaign funds to pay for his mistress, then yes he should face the consequences.
But we all know damned well what this is. It's a political witch hunt. It's going after an easy target. Edwards doesn't have much public sympathy after doing what he did to his wife.
But we all know that there are far worse crimes going on right now. Rethugs sitting in Congress and governors' mansions are getting away with far, far worse than what Edwards is accused of. Or what about these Wall Street robber barons, who have literally taken BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to bail out their companies, all the while continuing refusing to help jump-start the economy, refusing to make loans, wasting money, and giving themselves multi-million dollar bonuses?
Or how about the war criminals from the previous administration who continue to roam the country with impunity?
Not saying that Edwards shouldn't be punished. But come on, wake up, and let's start meting out REAL justice, not just selective justice aimed at easy scapegoats.
AHHHHH!!!! SOCIAL JUSTICE!!!! NO NUKES!!!! RACISTS!!!!

5. Selective enforcement at a minimum and it looks like retribution.
I'm not fond of Edwards at the moment but agree.
:thatsright: WTF is Beth saying?

What it shows is that if you are a donk and have an affair while your wife is dying to cancer, you use that wife's dying of cancer to further your political career, and then have a love child while your wife is dying and you are using it for political gain, the MSM will hide it from the American public.
Just remember that the 96% of the MSM that is far left has nothing to do with the way they report the news.

Well if Edwards hadn't of broken any laws then he wouldn't be in this pickle, would he?
The funny thing is, if he was a repuke then it wouldn't be small potatoes. It would be the crime of the century.

Far more important is the question of Beth's eviction from the camper, and the bank foreclosure on her mother's little patch of desert. Is Beth posting from the back seat of a '92 Caprice? She always championed the winos who camped out in public places in San Francisco - has she joined them? Seems to me, someone who feels the DUmp has validated her as a thinker and writer would do better job keeping us up-to-date on her miserable, disastrous, but entertaining life. LOL
