Not that there's anything wrong with that, right?
At least Craig exposed you liberals as being phobes.
that you guys still don't get it! Next you'll pull an Xray and post a pic of Barney Frank, as if we're supposed to bow our heads in shame that an openly gay congressman is a member of "our team".
You think "being gay" is Craig's big crime? It was all about hypocrisy and self-righteousness coming back to bite him in the ass.
If a guy doesn't give a about own his wife & children, I'm sure he really cares about all the homeless and you.
alas relevance.
this is not a good argument for conservatives. the timing sucks for you
The vote is for yes or no to Obama. McCain, Newt, etc matters not.
I still get pissed Newt did the same thing and screwed up any future potential. Never trust a politician.

are you saying you trusted newt?
Why take this off on tangents? I'm trying to emphasize the point that no matter how good and genuine they look (Edwards, Newt, etc) it's all just an act.
you mean caught in the act.Why take this off on tangents
john edwards should stay away from public offcie.
I guess that's better than the GOP politicians that like to little boys.
Just because your dad is a Republican is no reason to generalize...
Wow, whott, that's a really cutting and biting insult. Very edgy and irreverent stuff there...You're like Bill in' Hicks or Lenny Bruce. You're way out there.
Well I guess better to cheat than have thousands of dollars illegally in your freezer and get away with it scott free.
Should cheating on your wife be a reason not to be elected president.
Question
I guess many Americans Presidents became well known cheaters, at least for the majority of the public, after becoming presidents (JFK, slick willy).
*takes bow*
Thank you Findog, but you are way too generous my friend. After all, when you encounter an original and masterful piece of degoratory verse like:
You just can't help but be inspired.
So ultimately the credit belongs to you.
And me? I simply remain in awe of your genius and astounded by your originality.
You're like the Beethoven of pedo smack...we might never see the likes of you again.
Hypocrisy and self-righteousness?

Who are you voting for in November?
I feel like I've gotten to the point where debating politics based on the latest sex scandal is an exercise in futility. Whenever a Republican gets caught, partisan Democrats come out and try to link it to a general absence of morals in all Republicans, and whenever Democrats get caught, partisan Republicans try to link it to a general absence of morals in all Democrats. I just don't think any of the arguments work. It would be easy to draw up a very very long list of political sexual indiscretions from the past thirty years or so, and I doubt that list would lean heavily to either side of the political spectrum. This is one human frailty that afflicts all types of people, regardless of what political party they happen to affiliate themselves with.
.....powerful politicians cheating on their wives are a dime a dozen....just ask Clinton, Gingrich or McCain, but when a politicians cheats on his wife with another guy in a bathroom, that's not just 'partisan politics'...
Why not?
McCain cheated on his first wife.
One would think Edwards could pull better wool than this...
...for many reasons, but mainly because the Democratic Party doesn't try to pass itself off as the party that clings itself to religion and the saviors of moral behavior in this country....
I still think it almost all comes down to partisanship-- we all have friends who've done these same types of things and I'd bet most of us have also ourselves... Newt served his wife divorce papers and cheated on her when she had cancer, which wasn't very noble, and now Edwards has cheated on his wife while she has cancer. Sure Newt is a little more of a bible-thumper and moralist, but Edwards also played the moralist card during the Lewinsky situation, criticizing Clinton instead of minding his own business.
The morals of most politicians are generally a generic fabrication designed to attract voters. The public has a very difficult time letting politicians be human, and the result is a morality coming from politicians and other social leaders themselves that is artificial and unreal. If most people hear that their favorite guitarist, novelist, or actor was caught smoking pot, or popping a few pills, or having a threesome, they either don't care, or they actually find it interesting. But if it's the mayor-- even the mayor that they voted for-- we're supposed to be shocked? Or hurt? It's all silliness. Strom Thurmond, this country's most famous segregationist was having sex with a black girl in between his fiery speeches about keeping the races separate. JFK and MLK were guilty of numerous extra-marital affairs in between podium and pulpit appearances. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Rush Limbaugh, Jesse Jackson, Rudy Guilliani, Bill Clinton, Robert Livingston, Gary Hart, Warren Harding, Alexander Hamilton, Mark Foley, Eliot Spitzer, etc., etc.... the list goes on and on-- it's probably the most evenly bipartisan string of events in our history.
