Edwards is about himself, nobody else

  • Follow Letters

The Chronicle's Nov. 16 Associated Press story headlined, "Edwards attempts to regain standing," was a real eye-opener that testified to erstwhile presidential candidate John Edwards' lack of character.

The former North Carolina U.S. senator was exposed for being involved in an extramarital affair and possibly fathering a child outside of his marriage to Elizabeth Edwards.

His continuing quest for publicity shows a complete disregard for his wife's feelings, as he must realize that the strong applause he received from Indiana college students must have rubbed salt in her wounds, as she knows only too well what a phony he is.

Just as he used Elizabeth as a political prop during his presidential primary run, he used his alleged concern for poor people as a hoped-for comeback prop in his speech to the students. The Indiana students' immaturity was displayed by allowing themselves to be used by such an obvious phony.

John Edwards' concerns are not about his family, his wife, his country or the poor. His concerns are all about him.

Sounds like he'd make a good Democrat.

disssman

Actually Patricia, it sounds like Johnny Mac. You know, the one who LEFT his wife for a young rich chicky. I wonder if that makes him a good CONservative?

patriciathomas

Nope, good Democrat.

Thanks disssman for making sure patricia says grounded to the sad reality of her failed presidential candidate. It's typical of some GOP supporters to point fingers at the moral problems of others and not realizing 3 fingers are pointing at them. The number of immoral scandals among GOP leaders is astounding. It's one of the many reason they were thumped so hard Nov. 4.

You are so wrong. John Edwards was the only candidate who dared speak against the moneyed interests who have taken over our government and the U.S. treasury, your tax money,
which is being sent as "bail out" money directly into the
pockets of the already super rich. So far, Obama has chosen, mostly, Wall Street promoters to in his cabinet.
John Ewards would be a refreshing change form
Is not change what Obama is supposed to be about?
John Edwards is for the workers and unions, i.e. Main Street, not Wall Street. Watch what he said to Obama doing one of the Presidential debates.

He is the only candidate that acturally
went down to New Orleans and worked along side
those striving to try to bring back the areas that remain so
devasted from the effects of Hurricane Katrina.

Dissman, the wife McCain left was also rich, but from what I have seen, was not as hot as Cindy. McCain wasn't running for public office, let alone the Presidency when he divorced his wife and married cindy as was the Breck girl.

Cherub, Edwards is as phony as a BJ Cliiton three dollar bill. Sorry you ignorant, types that depend on gubmunt or unions rather than yourselves and just can't see through the phonies like Edwards who promise so much yet historically deliver so little.

patriciathomas

disssman, your 8:51 comment was so far off subject and based on such fallacies that I missed your intent. I keep forgetting you lefties make up stories and then expound on them as though there were any basis of truth in them. Check your sources on McCain's divorce and remarriage. CNN and PBS/NPR will continue to trick you.

bsc2k, good timing on your scandal comments. They just arrested the Mayor of Birmingham on Federal charges.

Cherubim

Strange how this got to the top of the Google search engine.
A conspiracy is involved maybe.

justthefacts

Cherubm, maybe so, what did you google? Did it jump above Gov Spritzer, McGreevey, and Kwame Kilpatrict??

Ken

God made Hell just for people like Mr. Edwards. He had better hope that God is forgiving and merciful.

Cherubim

Self-righteousness is the biggest sin.
