Edwards told ABC News that he lied repeatedly about the affair with 42-year-old Rielle Hunter but said that he didn't love her. wbhat does this say about him in your oppinion?

Heres my thoughts on the issue. I am going to defend (sort of) Edwards. Or rather, he and his family. He is not running for president anymore. He is not a sitting senetor. I don't even think he is a practicing lawyer these days. He is a private citizen like the rest of us. What he did was wrong on so many levels, but he did it to his family. We've been tolds, now the press should just leave it alone. The family is dealing with enough as it is. for them to continualy harp on it is only demonstrating a sensationalist blood thirsty crusaide.

doing wrong is doing wrong no matter who you are and to do this to a wife suffering from cancer has no excuse for anyone even a private citizen

I wasn't excusing it by any means. I was simply pointing out it's a matter of private family business. I'm not an edwards supporter. I can't stand him or his party for that matter.

Johnny Boy got his hand caught in the cookie jar. Edwards used his wife as a political prop. Edwards used this image of a loving husband having to deal with both a Presidential campaign and his wife's cancer. Yet it was just one big fraud, he did not support his wife when she needed him the most. One last thing if Edwards did not love Rielle Hunter I am guessing he just used her too.
