Barnes and Butts contemporaries at Carolina?

I think that would make her a contemporary of Melody Barnes at Carolina in the mid-1980s

Yes...you can include "poverty pimp" along with Edwards other bogus
platitudes....none of which anyone with any common sense believed anyway.

I must have missed the part where Edwards claimed to be the "world's greatest family man." Here I was all these months thinking that Edwards was running on a platform focusing on poverty reduction. Now I learn that he was the first-ever Democrat to be the family values candidate. I learn new things every day here!

dahedgehog,

I am fully aware of McCains infidelity but I do not recall his hypocritcal self promotion as "world's greatest family man" or the humiliation of his family on a national/world stage like Clinton or Edwards. Do not assume my blind support of McCain. "Empty suits" can apply across the board.

mickiep,
You know John McCain cheated on his first wife, right?

"Decent, honorable men like President Bush?"

You're kidding, right? Good lord, for a moment I thought you were serious.

Empty suits like Former Democrat Senator, Edwards can stand up at a podium and brow-beat decent, honorable men like President Bush over and over and their dim-witted cronies cheer them on...but reality provides a much clearer image of these "wanna be" hollow leaders. Its nice for the idealic young to see the reality of shallow promoters of idealism and their hypocracy.

You're right, cp1017. Nightline, or whoever, should have asked these questions.

This whole Rielle Hunter thing further underscores what politics has become. Democrat or Republican makes no difference. As Hunter herself is reported to have said, "politics makes Hollywood look like a spiritual community".

I suspect you might call that a profound statement by Hunter, although I think most people feel the same. Among all the concerns with jobs, education, health care, terrorism, etc., that we Americans have to tackle, cleaning up politics once and for all should be at the top of the list. It's sickening the way greed has corrupted the process. It alone will be the downfall of our country.

Still alot of unanswered questions Mr. Edwards! If the affair was over and done in 2006 and your family and friends knew all about it, why on earth did you have to go see Ms. Hunter and her BABY on Monday July 21st 2008! You knew the Enquirer was still out there trying to prove this affair! Ms Hunter had not blown your cover in the 2 years! Your adoring public still didn't know! So why did you hand the Enquirer this proof on a silver platter! Not very intelligent choices for a man wanting to become president!

Progressive = Lieberal = Socialist = Communist

Did 'E' Edwards really need a job? What about a person who needs to provide for their family for the job?

Did Rielle Hunter have her baby yet?
