Lest anyone think that most of the mainstream media (TV, cable, newspapers, radio) isn't liberally biased, please read on.

All you have to do is think about how long it took them to cover the John Edwards story. The last thing the lefty-media wanted was for one of its darlings to be outed by a tabloid rag, right? So they never paid much attention to it until last week when they had no choice but to cover it. The media never gave the Enquirer any credibility, and they didn't do any of their own fact-finding or investigating. So it seems that they all dropped the ball. Kudos to the National Enquirer for breaking the story, shooting pictures, and sticking to their sources and facts. They're more reputable than the rest of the "media" right now.

It sickens me that anyone can excuse this guy's behavior. He cheated on his wife who has cancer. That's pretty bad. She apparently knew about the affair, and in a move that reeks of stupidity, they both thought it would be OK for him to run for President (as if this secret would stay buried forever). Both of them are arrogant, especially Edwards with his $400 haircuts and his history of making money by being an ambulance-chasing attorney, the lowest type of lawyer.

And when the National Enquirer broke this story last month, no media outlet picked it up! It's not that they didn't think it was true, but they like Edwards, and were no doubt hoping the whole thing would simply go away and get swept under a rug. In an interview last month, Edwards flat-out denied (lied) about having the affair in the first place. Smugness reigns!

Something to remember here about this case, and all others that involve philandering politicians. You don't excuse their actions by saying something moronic like, "They all do it" because they don't, and it's still an immoral and dishonest thing to do. Justifying bad behavior with other bad behavior doesn't make it right, it makes it easy to rationalize and accept if the candidate is your guy.

Many ask the question, "Well would it make a difference in how a person governs?" Of course it does! It's apparent someone like Edwards has no morality,  no integrity, and doesn't care about what's right and what's wrong, and he apparently has little respect for his terminally-ill wife. Would you want someone with those characteristics leading this country, making important decisions that will impact us for decades? Not me.

And don't believe the bull when people say that it's none of our business what they do in their personal lives. That means that it really doesn't matter where Barack Obama went to church, or that Ted Kennedy killed a woman when he drove off a bridge, or that Randy Cunningham took bribes. It's all about character, something these people sorely lack.

And if you don't think that John Edwards isn't the father of that woman's child, then I have some beach-front property in Utah to sell you for cheap. Don't be naive and/or stupid, if his mistress agrees to take a paternity test, she loses all of the "hush" money he's been giving her over the past few years. That's why she won't do it, because if she does, well he gets to pay her child support, which I'm sure is a lot less than what he's paying her now.

Goodbye and good riddance to one of the scummiest, dirtiest, and most arrogant politicians in recent U.S. history. And considering some of the company he joins, that's not a compliment.

Amen!!!

It is truly astounding when you see all these liberals touting "change" and "tolerance". They have neither scruples nor morals. It is all smoke and mirrors. Their agendas are pushed through because the leftist-media turns a blind eye to their true character.

How you are at home maginifes how you will be in the public forum. Weasels such as he, Al Gore, Ted Kennedy, etc., are eventually found out. What blows me away is the lack of care and upset we as Americas show. Never thought I would utter these words, but here goes........Praise the Heavens above for the scandal mags that do what the leftist media cannot.

Those hair cuts could feed a homeless shelter for a week per cut. The hundreds of thousands of dollars Gore has made on false records and statistics could provide everyone in the USA with health care for a year.

Gore talks about all the energy he tries to save....Talking the talk and walking the walk. How about the 10,000 sq ft home for two he and Tipper enjoy? Or the fact that all the venues he travels to are done by private jet and he has his chauffeur idle the engine of his SUV for 30 minutes prior to his departure in order to cab cool.

They all are nothing but slime-spitting liars and truth manipulaters.

"It was Judith Miller at the “liberal” New York Times who served up as fact all the neocon disinformation about Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction and al Qaeda connections. Without the New York Times leading the way, the neocons could never have pulled off their illegal invasions."

"It was ABC News that served up the neocon disinformation that the anthrax had been traced to Saddam Hussein. And, today, August 9, 2008, as I write, it is the “liberal” Washington Post that has written an editorial urging the US to go to war with Russia."

- Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration.

"...Now, if you are a supporter of the current administration, at this point, I am going to make the genuine request that you respond to what follows with reasonable consideration of the facts, not dogma or emotional loyalty. I honestly believe that this is a clear, and as verifiable, as any simple mathematical formula.

The contradiction is this: as a society, we are offended and even outraged at a man running for public office who is unfaithful to his wife, and who is willing to lie to us about it, but we have taken in stride men in public office (at the highest level of public office) who have blatantly lied to us about matters directly deciding the life or death fate of thousands and thousands of human beings. I will leave it for another time to argue that while infidelity, deception about infidelity and moral hypocrisy are wrong, these matters are neither illegal, nor life threatening."

Don't ya love kool-aid drinkers lecturing and looking down their noses at you telling you to look at something reasonably and objectively? Classic Far-Leftist Liberal...

Yeah, and Saddam Hussein was a love'em and hug'em stand up guy. Why he never had any killed.

Oh and bin laden, well he meets and greets all his fellow countrymen with hand shakes and baby kissing.

All those suicide bombings and bombimgs in general are mere figments of televised imagination.

Of course this guy thinks that George Bush lied to get the U.S. to go to war in Iraq. An assertion that has been proven to be false by both liberal and conservative media outlets. Anyone who still hold onto that conspiracy theory has no reason to enter into any rational discussion.

wow, great post. Some of the so called professionals should take note.
I don't think it's anyone’s business who John has sex with. It's between him and his wife, if she allows it or forgives him or whatever, who are we to give him a hard time over it? A man will go as far as a woman lets him. And although it’s true, leaders should be an example of righteousness, none are.
John saying he cares about the poor, now that’s laughable.

In this day and age of Youtube and the internet, etc., once you are in the public eye, you can forget about privacy. What you do behind closed doors often times relates to how you conduct yourself the rest of the time. If you break your marriage vows and then go on national television and boldly lie to the public about it, what's to keep you from breaking your vows to public office? Good riddance, John-boy! You've got a baby to take care of...

Good point. But if his wife's forgiven him, he must not be that bad a man.

She hasn't exactly forgiven him. It was reported that she was in distress after the announcement, and considered the pros and cons of staying with him or kicking his azz to the curb. She is not in the best health to just start fresh, but he is not forgiven.

Dasvics--are you serious? She's got cancer and he's got money.. End of story. He is not a stand up guy. He'd lie if it meant personal, political or otherwise gain. How and who he is at home reflects who he is in the world.

Yes I'm serious. From what I understood during his interview, he had told his wife about the affair before it went public and she had forgiven him. Either way, it's their business.

dasvics--your right it is their business. If you did it, own up and be a man and admit it. People may not like the deed, but at least they would have some respect for you and honesty. He, again, is mirroring how he is in real life. His true character.

Plenty of interesting responses here! Can you imagine if John Edwards were a Republican instead? Boy Oh Boy...the leftist media would have gone after him like a bunch of merciless rabid bats chasing the moon! It's like the scandal King David went through with Bathsheba: David saw a hot looking woman, did the deed with her, got her pregnant, then schemed to hide it by trying to get Bathsheba's hubby to do what husbands and wives do. Edwards sees Hunter, takes a continuous roll in the hay with her, behind his wife's back, and gets her pregnant. His cohorts in the left behind wing turn a blind eye to the truth. Back to David and Bathsheba: Uriah the hubby stays loyal to David's army, and refuses to sleep with Bathsheba until the war is over. King David gets Uriah killed in a battle, then takes Bathsheba as his wife. John-boy relies on his left behind cohorts to stay quiet. God sends the prophet Samuel to expose David. God uses a smart thinking reporter in the National Enquirer to stay on John-boy's smelly secret, and humiliates the left behind goonsquad. Now, unlike King David, who openly confesses, Johnboy and his Satan Possessed left behind whackjobs lie to the public's face, and tries to fling poo at the National Enquirer. What a huge difference! Kudos to you ddain!

Thank you...and you're right about your argument that if Edwards was a Republican, the media would have gone after him like dogs on a meat truck.

It's amazing how the media has fallen so far from grace in this country, and has become so partisan and dishonest. And yet, I'm sure the dopes who run the L.A. Times and the N.Y. Times wonder why their subcriptions levels have declined so much in the last decade.

Look at myfoxla.com, has anybody else had their YouTube videos blocked like mine are? Attempting to control the conversation like foxla.com does, will not work any longer. WE DON'T NEED YOU ANY MORE!!!!

ha! How amusing. The reason the "Liberal/Leftist Media" is a bit harder on Republicans is because they all claim to be so holier than thou. Homosexuality is wrong, abortions are wrong, keeping God out of everything is wrong..etc..that's why they're a huge joke when they fall on their face.
Democrats, Liberals, whatever- are less anal, so when they fall, it's not as funny.

Adultery is about as bad as fornication & homosexuality. Keep that in mind when casting stones.

Das,
This seems a little out of character for you. Does your hubby think adultery is no different than fornication or homosexuality?

dasvics read my blog view my photos

You'd have to ask him that. imo, The physical act itself is different, obviously, but they're all sins.
My point is that no one's perfect and whether its adultery, lying or cheating, stealing, etc...every single politician does it, commits sin that is, in one way or another.
Sorry but I don't think John is a horrible man, what he did was wrong, no doubt, but that doesn’t make him evil.
All this media attention is really silly imo and I have no idea what you mean by this is out of character for me. I also believe in a woman’s right to choose, but not late or partial birth abortions, and that homosexuals should have the same and equal rights as every one else, meaning marriage, but it shouldn’t be called “marriage” it should be called a “civil union”. I believe that citizens should have the right to bear arms because guns don’t kill people, people kill people, and anyone who wishes to enter this country should do so legally, U.S. borders should be secured, but I think we should do more to help those people in their own countries, meaning more $$$. Just thought I’d throw that out there.
Oh yeah, I also reserve the right to change my mind on any issue at any time for any reason.
