Reply #332: Maybe some of us Hypocritical Puritans are angry that Edwards could have been the nominee

And if he was all the people who come in here saying "I don't care" or "none of my business" or "Its just sex" would be wondering why Edwards would have to step down as nominee or why we lost in November because of it. Just because you don't care doesn't mean that his actions in his personal life does not affect all of us. Had he won, this would have come out and destroyed our chances in November.

Its not just sex. It never is really. Its the lies and deceptions that surround the act. Its the way he ran his campaign and the things he said to our faces while looking us in the eyes. Its the fact that money was paid to keep the woman silent, and campaign money that you or maybe I donated to his campaign. Its the fact this woman he meets in a bar gets a $100,000 job in the campaign she's not qualified for. Paid again with money donated to that campaign. Its the fact that he does this to a sick wife. This could not certainly help this woman's morale trying to survive cancer. Knowing that this info released could implode his chances the sin is greater because he wasn't cheating on his wife he was cheating on all of us, especially all of us who supported him and believed in him.

Had he become the nominee then this would have sunk our chances and for him to constantly talk about our nation in crisis and then risk the Repukers getting a free walk into the WH for another 4 years this November? Its hard to forgive.
