The John Edwards poll

[undeterred]

Poll question: The John Edwards poll

What bothers you?

[AndyA]

1. It's the lying about it that bothers me most.

I don't like what he did to Elizabeth, because I think she's pretty, smart, charming, and would be a heck of a gal to have around.

But he shouldn't have lied about it. He lied to all of us who supported him.

2. Other....Favre leaving the Pack.

5. I'm worried he'll get lost in New York City.

[Bright Eyes]

3. If only the media had paid this much attention to the Anthrax case....

Apparently, this is FAR more important then silly bio-terrorism.

[polichick]

4. imo the newsworthiness of this is tied to Edwards' disrespecting his supporters...

...enough to take their money and time ~ and put a possible Dem nomination at risk.

6. did not lower my opinion

didn't raise it either

always new he was a fake

[Muttocracy]

15. lowered my opinion slighty but

I never trusted the difference between the Senator's voting record and the Candidate's populism.

7. Other: All of the above PLUS his bullshit lies about his "moral opposition" to gay marriage.

Back when he made his statement about gay marriage, he really hurt me, because I admired him so much. I thought he was such a Good Guy, and it hurt like HELL to get dissed by one of the Good Guys. It's the kind of thing that makes you question your own worth all over again.

Now we find THIS out?

Fuck. Him. He doesn't deserve the family he's been blessed with. Let him rot in guilt and obscurity.

11. oktoberain

i was uninvolved till i read your post. wasn't aware he'd taken that stance, but that hypocracy is truly loathsome.

i'll go back & vote the poll now.

8. It just makes me sad.

Sad for her. Sad for him. Sad for their family.

[LVjinx]

9. What bothers me: this coming out right when we don't need a dem scandal. Dammit, John!

[nels25]

12. Better it come out now then in October

[TahitiNut]

10. Other: It's "DU Viagra" ... too many seem to be GETTING OFF on it.

My advice to the "erect" posters: Get a fucking life. (How many threads does it fucking take?)

[JBoy]

20. Don't worry, I plan to log off within 4 hours.

[book_worm]

13. I actually don't blame the mainstream media--they all knew the rumors and didn't really pursue them

now, of course, that Edwards has admitted this it's a different story, they will report on it and Edwards hypocricy and lying.

[Muttocracy]

14. hurt to his wife and 3 kids, taking contributions for a doomed campaign, risking McCain into WH. nt

[Phoonzang]

16. Other - embarrasses Democrats during an election year n/t

[Swamp Rat]

17. I really really like John Edwards. He helped us in New Orleans more than any other politician.

I mean, he really got sweaty, and his hands dirty helping us.

:loveya: Elizabeth and John :loveya:

18. What an arrogant, selfish bastard!

Edwards was my first choice this time and I'm saddened, disappointed but mostly pissed off. People quit jobs and uprooted their families to go work for him in Iowa and New Hampshire. Others invested in him emotionally and monetarily and this is how he repays them? What would have happened if he got the nomination and this blew up in October? I guess I should not be surprised or angry but I am.

19. Cheating, being arrogant, and giving her a job she didn't deserve. nt

[ZombieHorde]

21. Other: He would have fucked us all if he won the primaries.

[Captain Hilts]

22. CORRECTION:don't you mean the Edwards 'pole'? nt

[undeterred]

24. ...

She was on his "staff". :evilgrin:

[Iggo]

23. It ain't the crime. It's the cover-up.

You'd think the beltway batsards would've gotten that through their thick heads by now.

[frebrd]

25. Other. That too-cute smile has always turned me off. n/t

[undeterred]

26. but that's what turns so many people on
