Instead of cursing the media for reporting the story of Edward's lies

[still_one]

we should be thanking them

Does anyone realize what would happen to us if Obama choose him as he Vice President?

1. GOOD POINT

[marylanddem]

2. Exactly - Edwards is the culprit here, not the media.

[ingac70]

3. I don't think he was ever under consideration for VP. n/t

[enough]

4. WHY would you run for President knowing this was out there?

My estimation of his judgment has just plummeted.

[twiceshy]

7. Whay would you run for president when...

your wife has terminal cancer and three kids? The whole thing was a farce.

[Royal Oak Rog]

5. Seriously, should this even be an issue?

I mean I know it is, but come on, he cheated on his wife. Can we as a country stick to the issues of a political campaign and or a political career. Europe could teach us a ton on this bullshit. This is so puritanically correct it's disgusting.

6. It wouldn't be if only the Democrats were involved in the election process.

9. NO it shouldn't - for EITHER party or candidate. But if they're going to report one, ...

..report them ALL - or better yet, IGNORE them all and stick to the election and the politics and policy differences and forget their sex lives.

But the lame$tream can't do that. They wouldn't make as much money that way and they wouldn't keep as many Democrats out of the White House that way, either - and we KNOW that is their job - corprat-pwned entities they are.

8. I'm not cursing them for reporting Edwards's lies - I AM cursing them for NOT..

....reporting John McCains. And George bu$h's, and Karl Rove's, and....shall we continue?

They are NOT consistent in WHOSE lies they report - only if it's a DEMOCRAT who lied or was unfaithful is that a story. Anyone else, it's non-news.

THAT is what I take issue with.

11. Exactly! nt

10. Was he ever a serious contender for VP?
