The Politics Of A Lie

If this was an every day person, I don't think this much attention would be paid to the personal life. But the fact that this man almost became VP and possibliy could have gone on to be President one day, I think it is important to know what they do in their personal life. It is a direct reflection of his character and how possibly things could have unfolded as leader of our country. This is definitely way worse then what Bill Clinton did with Monica and would be worth impeachment.

I think this is a non-issue if it is someone who is NOT trying to be president... not putting himself in the public eye... not using my money to cover up his kid... not making his wife WITH CANCER suffer through in front of america... what a sleeze. I hope he goes to jail. I am tired of people letting men get away with disgusting behavior and saying it is not our business. He is the one who acted like he was a good guy in front of the camera.

We should all probably pay more attention to what is going on in our own lives and not so much what other couples are doing. These people are just as human as the rest of us; would you want every aspect of your personal business picked apart like this?

Thanks for your comment, cybrown551!! I totally agree with everything you said!! His childish disgusting ways are excusable!!

First of all I think with John Edwards did to his wife was really disgusting. I think that he should have had enough decency to resolve any conflicts he had with his wife before he build a relationship with another woman. And to sneak around covering up lies and trying to get others to lie for him was very juvenile.

Guess I'm old school. I do not want to know these people business, but part of me feels that our leaders, our reps, should make examples of themselves and should atleast have the sense to keep their private lives private. If they cannot handle their personal affairs in a better manner I am supposed to believe they can handle an entire country in economic turmoil. Get your crap together, sheesh.

Our country has a problem!! Instead of real breaking story's with some kind of meaning we all are subjected to having to listen to this kind of crap!! I agree with idahospud I really don't care how big of a cheater our people in politics are against their spouses but what are they doing to help our country get out of this recession and better our country!!

This story belongs right along side the news stand junk of celebrities that has celulite.I dont give a rats a__ of who is sleeping with who & who has junk in thier trunk.There are more important things to worry about.

Who in this country has morals anymore!

Thank God he wasn't elected. He has no moral compass or self control.

Just like the Tiger Woods issue. Not. Our. Business.

Do people really not have a life so badly they need to follow stories like this closely and know every little intimate detail ?? Really? And then pay money for a book to know even more? Why does anyone care?? This isnt anything new - the men cant keep their pants zipped and it turns into a huge scandal...same crap, different day.. Both the men in this story suck!!
