It's okay to treat healthy people like crap, just not the people who are dying?

NO its not ok to treat people like crap. healhty or sick. just to do this t a women that is deing of cancer takes it to a diffrent level.

She made a piss poor choice for a husband.. you chose wrong, you pay.

Millions of people are cheating on their spouse every day. The only reason this is news is because he is a politician.

and millions of people make it right?

no millions of people makes it not news worthy

millions of people aren't former Senators or were running for POTUS just a few months ago either.

yea that still does not make it news worthy

the dude could fuck whores in back alleys 7 days a week and most likely would be a better POTUS then our current one, seeing as the 2 of those things have NOTHING to do with each other

2. There are throngs of photographers and others constantly looking for ways to dig up dirt on you.

I'm not surprised at the lack of morals. Lots of people cheat. But how can politicians be so stupid that they think that they can get away with an extended affair without anyone finding out?

The vagina is a powerful weapon.

you are righ it does not. good thing we arent debating if it would make him a better one.

some of us just think him doing it to a women with cancer is sickening.

Asi said above him cheating is between him, his wife and whatever god he worships. But i don't have any sympathy for him getting bashed in the news and it ruining his chance of ever being presiadant.

Wonder if he'll be giving that speech at the DNC?

Going from possible VP or possible cabinet member to probably shunned.

I'm just surprised he couldn't do better. A wealthy, handsome, presidential contender? I mean, she's not bad looking but if I were Edwards I'd be tagging supermodels.

It is also genetically anti-selective.

and I agree, she chose poorly, she can go to her death bed now knowing her belief in him was a waste of her life... she at least gets that closure.

Start a poll:

Is cheating on your wife who has cancer worse than cheating on your wife who was mangled in a car accident?

There would need to be such a thing as "cheating" to have this poll.

Then again, what if there were no hypothetical questions?

That happened like....40 years ago. No one is thrilled about it, but then again, no one seems to care anymore.

I'm referring to how he met his current wife...this is pretty common knowledge I thought.

http://www.azcentral.com/news/...ccainbio-chapter5.html

While he was a POW his wife got into a car wreck and got pretty disfigured. So he left her for a 25 year old hottie beer heiress. Sure it's a little more complicated than that, but it always is.

How exactly is how long ago it happened relevant? Is there a time period after an affair during which you can't run for president?

Would it be more news worthy if you knew he used campaign donations to pay her $100k for 4 web ads?

"Sound marriages can be hard to recover after great time and distance have separated a husband and wife. We are different people when we reunite," McCain wrote. "But my marriage's collapse was attributable to my own selfishness and immaturity more than it was to Vietnam, and I cannot escape blame by pointing a finger at the war. The blame was entirely mine."

Looks like maybe somebody owned up to their actions and accepted some responsibility. Now I'm not sure what he said at the time but Edwards sure hasn't acted this way so far.

So THIS is why he was never at work! All this time I thought Edwards had an actual reason for not showing up to work day in and day out - turns out he was just fucking! Nice! Who are the douche bags to elected this guy?
