As Honest Abe said: "You can fool some of the people all the time; all the people some of the time but you can't fool all the people all of the time." Most folks have recognized the real John Edwards, and don't like what they found.

To Russell123: YOU are the one that was uncalled for. But your baptist cult mammy just didn't have the guts to do what she should have.

Percykution is a disgusting and ignorant person; NandO- you need to ban this person from being able to comment on stories; this is just inappropriate and uncalled for.

Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand

But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man

And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man

And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

What is your full name? I think you ought to put your full name where your mouth is so people who know you, perhaps your own children, can see what kind of person you truly are.

Elizabeth Edwards may not be the snake John Edwards is, but she is an opportunist. She was more than willing to look the other way during the presidential campaign. She didn't have any trouble speaking on the virtues of her husband when his coat tails could take her all the way to Pennsylvania Avenue. It doesn't take much examination to figure out Mrs. Edwards will do and say whatever she has to to promote the cause of Elizabeth Edwards.

(R)e: Stand by Your Mistress

John's mistake was in not leaving his wife and marrying his mistress. Then just put an R after his name, and he could be as well thought of by value voters as Reagan, Dole or Gingrich.

Standby your man--until he loses an election.

She should run for Senate, but I guess she's busy working on surviving.

John Edwards has become one of the most unpopular people in North Carolina.

So says Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling, after the group's latest survey found that 69 percent of North Carolina voters have an unfavorable opinion of the former U.S. senator and presidential candidate. Only 19 percent of those surveyed had a favorable opinion of Edwards, a Democrat who lives in Orange County.

But PPP found that his wife, Elizabeth Edwards, remains popular in the state, with 58 percent of those polled having a favorable opinion of her.

PPP surveyed 755 North Carolina voters from May 8-10. The survey's margin of error was plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.
