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!!!!

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.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

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.


I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

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

We agree, cracka.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

NBC News just covered this story....and did not use the dirty word "democrat" one time...Nada, nyet...not even once.... :lmao:

Fair, balanced, unbiased and nonpartisan..... :lmao:
“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
