if he had been a republican it would've been a 16 year old boy

Well Lloyd, Newt Gingrich and McCain both stepped out on ill wives too...hasn't really hurt their careers now eh? Affairs I think just go with the political territory regardless of party...

If he'd been a Republican, it would have been front-page news in the New York Times a couple of weeks ago.
- It would of been news before it happened? Impressive...TheBlueOne
- give an example.mrdobolina
- Pay attention, grasshopper (TBO)! http://www.monstersa…dog_opus
- Look dickwad, the news is that he ADMITTED it. That is the news story. That happened today.TheBlueOne
- Ah, jr. high school name-calling – always a mature way to make a point. In any event, my point is a valid comment on this story.dog_opus
- Also, lol@"would of"dog_opus
- so no examples of it then? helluva way to prove a point.mrdobolina
- Oh, you were talking to me, dob? Sorry. I was obliquely referring to that story the NY Times did...dog_opus
- ..on the unsubstantiated rumor of McCain having an affair. I figured you guys would have gotten that. My apologies.dog_opus
- Link: http://www.nytimes.c…dog_opus
- http://www.dailymail…mrdobolina
- Does this story about John McCain somehow refute my point, dob? Sorry, not following your line of thinking here.dog_opus
- I'm guessing that you're probably looking for an opportunity to be contentious, though. I'm not really interested, if that's the case.dog_opus
- the mccain story was a blip, even though he divorced his wife when she was all beat down.mrdobolina
- Im talking about front pages of the NYT.mrdobolina
- Ah, so you're not refuting my point then. These two stories aren't really comparable. Again, you're a spiteful little guy.dog_opus
- I still love ya, though. You've got chutzpah.dog_opus
- Also: http://query.nytimes…

Leave Edwards alone. As if having an affair is somehow an event that peole don't normally lie about... The only reason these matters come up is for media attention. He's human, and out there doing good work. Let's leave his private life private.

The guy has led kind of a tragedy filled life - first defending (and getting rich off of) other people's tragedies, then having his son die, wife has terminal cancer and now this. And he seems like such a nice guy.

- lol Is it an actual toy?dog_opus
- given out at a minor league baseball game somewhere.mrdobolina
- Oh my – that's hilarious. Not really suitable for kids, though, I'd say.dog_opus
- that is awesome!Lt_Jack_Hammer

Back in the day they knew how to keep these affairs discrete and get away with it. I mean, Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe? The modern day equivalent would be what, George Bush fucking Scarlet Johansson?
- no, kennedy acutally had some sex appeal where as GW...ew.sputnik2
- Plus, back then, the press covered shit up...they all knew and didn't write about it.Lt_Jack_Hammer
- Exactly!ukit
- sputnik20
that man is such a piece of trash. he cheated on his wife while she was diagnosed and treated for cancer and gave this woman money for filming web videos when she had no experience and never followed through with them. i'm sure that breaks some laws.
and to think that at one point, i was really pulling for him.
- well throw the first stone! why wont ya!??!?!CALLES
- He's a politician, sputnik. They're all dishonest, mercenary miscreants. As far as I can tell, at least.dog_opus
- ha... no shit, sput...PonyBoy
- dog opus is right. i hate both sides because of this so i guess i shouldn't get upset at this story.sputnik2
- fooler20
Oh the right wingers are going to have a field day with this one. At least Edwards can still get laid. I'd like to see some of those old fat white haired republicans try and pull some tail.
- this has nothing to do with party affiliation. it's a man cheating on a very sick wife, which is despicable.sputnik2
- <- (sputnik) Yup.dog_opus
- and, as fooler said, the right wingers are most definitely going to have a field day with this one.Lt_Jack_Hammer
- amen fooler.Iggyboo
- so mccain did the same thing, where is your outrage?mrdobolina
- PonyBoy0
His poor wife...
- sputnik20
right fooler. like libs here wouldn't get this thread to 300 if this were about a republican. please.
- he wasn't saying that we wouldn't...just saying that they will....and, yes, we would...although...Lt_Jack_Hammer
- 300 would be a bit low.Lt_Jack_Hammer
- if it were a republican, it would've been a 14 year old boy...digival
- sputnik, I'm going to go ahead and designate you as the most reasonable voice I've heard on QBN for a while.dog_opus
- It's funny how republicans hate when liberals give them a dose of their own medicine. Total Pussies.Lt_Jack_Hammer
- It's not "their own medicine." It's the medicine of petty, spiteful partisanship. It's universal.dog_opus
- dog, you talk about democrats all the time, hypocrite.mrdobolina

"Our family has been through a lot. Some caused by nature, some caused by human weakness, and some – most recently – caused by the desire for sensationalism and profit without any regard for the human consequences. None of these has been easy. But we have stood with one another through them all. Although John believes he should stand alone and take the consequences of his action now, when the door closes behind him, he has his family waiting for him.
John made a terrible mistake in 2006. The fact that it is a mistake that many others have made before him did not make it any easier for me to hear when he told me what he had done. But he did tell me. And we began a long and painful process in 2006, a process oddly made somewhat easier with my diagnosis in March of 2007. This was our private matter, and I frankly wanted it to be private because as painful as it was I did not want to have to play it out on a public stage as well. Because of a recent string of hurtful and absurd lies in a tabloid publication, because of a picture falsely suggesting that John was spending time with a child it wrongly alleged he had fathered outside our marriage, our private matter could no longer be wholly private.
The pain of the long journey since 2006 was about to be renewed.
John has spoken in a long on-camera interview I hope you watch. Admitting one’s mistakes is a hard thing for anyone to do, and I am proud of the courage John showed by his honesty in the face of shame. The toll on our family of news helicopters over our house and reporters in our driveway is yet unknown. But now the truth is out, and the repair work that began in 2006 will continue. I ask that the public, who expressed concern about the harm John’s conduct has done to us, think also about the real harm that the present voyeurism does and give me and my family the privacy we need at this time."
- I respect her. I want to punch him in the face. People suck, I guess.monkeyshine

What's the big deal with candidates getting ass? I'd rather have a president who was getting some than one that was sexually repressed and secretly screwing little boys...
- digival0
i donnnnnnnnn't careeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... he's not going to be president. instead, we'll have some other lesser of 2 evils - hopefully. but then again apparently the majority thought it would be a good idea to vote in bush again, so who knows - i've just become jaded and believe that the general public is mentally retarded.
- epete220
his wife has cancer...........what is he thinking. If your going to do this at least get a hot chic like ashley the escort from NY
- i agreeCALLES
- agreed...that escort chick is ridiculously hot...totally forgive any guy for cheating with her.Lt_Jack_Hammer
- Dr_Rand0
the point isn't that he had an affair, it's that he's apparently an idiot
