Edwards Supporters... The Affair, the Lies, Coverups and the Primaries.

I did support John Edwards to begin with. I even gave money to his campaign. Then the debates started and he very quickly turned me off. His patronizing attitude toward Hillary Clinton made me dislike him. After that, I was for Hillary Clinton all the way. If I had know about his affair, it wouldn't have made any difference. Why should I care? I'm not his wife. In my opinion, she's the only one who needed to know. I personally don't base my political opinions on personal matters.

I didn't back him anyway. Given he was the least supported candidate of the three, there wouldn't have been much point. And he's long out of the running, so he can sleep with as many people as he wants as far as I'm concerned.

If they could call Bill the best President then they could still vote for Johnny boy.

I did not back him, but I think if his wife has forgiving him why are the media in his business. I think adultery is wrong, but I also think it is private affair between a couple.

If a man is not honest then he is not honest. If he belives that lying is moraly correct then he is saying that he is willing to lie when it suits his purposes. He also embarrased and humiliated his wife and he is suppose to love her. If he cannot be honest with her, what makes you think that he will be honest to you? Most of the people who be putting their trust in him would be strangers to him. It also was not confessed to her in a timely manner, she was already aware and had confronted him. If she had not known maybe he would have never told her and she would have found out from the news? A liar is a liar and he only told the truth by force and because he was busted. He did not try to be open and honest on his own , he waited so long that he let others tell her? What a rotten thing to do!

Why not? So he cheated on his wife. Big deal! The only thing that makes him is (a) someone his wife cannot trust to be faithful and (b) a politician.

They backed Clinton when he admited to his affairs. It seems like if they are straight up about it the people accept them. If they lie then the people turn from them. I still do not understand why when Clinton was running for president the people accepted him while just four years earlier Gary Hart had to drop out of the race because it was discovered he was having an affair. What happened in those four years that made people change so much?
