I am no saint, I throw no stones, but timing sucks. ****.
Yes, you are very unique. Everyone else mad at the National Enquirer, ABC News, and George W. Bush.

1. No
And I don't limit it to John, Elizabeth knew as well and participated in the sham. Had she been unaware I likely wouldn't be upset with them but the fact that they made a conscious decision to take this chance with Americas future pisses me right the **** off.
Been reading conservative boards I see.

3. Exactly. Terrible timing and here we go...

I am an Edwards fan and have no superior moral compass, believe me. BUT... just shit... I'm speechless with the field day the GOP is going to have with this, it's a gift to them. I'm so sad...
You will live to love again.

6. I'm very angry at him.
He lied to his wife, family, supporters, workers, contributors.
He deceived ordinary citizens into investing their time, hope, and money into him.
He took money from citizens who have to scrimp and save, and used it to party with his girlfriend.
He put his squeeze on payroll, and used those contributions to pay her.
He lied repeatedly when asked about this last fall.
Sorry, but he's ripped it with me. If he wants to redeem himself, he can start by personally paying all his contributors back, particularly those smaller ones. Then he can go sit down with Jimmy Carter, and ask Jimmy to let him work with Carter on Habitat for Humanity. He can redeem himself by making it up to people with no expectation of material or political gain.
I was wrong. DUmmie Dammitann isn't so unique.

9. I am disappointed with both John and Elizabeth
Edited on Sat Aug-09-08 06:58 AM by Apollo11
We now know that Elizabeth knew about this in 2006, and still told John that she would support him making another run to be the Democratic nominee for President.
Of course John is primarily responsible for his own actions, but they both knew that if he succeeded in winning the nomination, and if the facts if his affair ever came out, it would seriously damage the Democratic Party's chances in November 2008.
Despite her serious health issues, Elizabeth worked hard on John's behalf, even to the extent of publicly criticizing other candidates - notably Hillary Clinton.
"In my opinion, the candidate who's best for women in this race is my husband."

"I think one of the things that make me so completely comfortable with this is that keeping that door open to women is actually more a policy of John's than Hillary's."

I cannot think of anyone other that Elizabeth Edwards who seriously questioned the idea that Hillary's candidacy - and her bid to win the nomination - represented a major step forward for women in America.
... and all the while she was covering up for her sleazebag husband
I'll confess. DUmmie Apollo11 is Lord Undies' footwear (just kidding!)

I supported him. I gave him money....
No, you didn't. You are a liar.
