I'm confused. Doesn't "between you and me" equate to "Off the record"

The lovechild reportedly has her mother's eyes and her father's dramatic flair in front of a jury.
Who care, look at the percentage of married men & women who have affairs in our country it's way more than in many other countries http://www.dearpeggy.com/2-affairs/statistics.html
tell me how do you steal another womans husband? You don't!! He's done in politics. as for the rest of his life he has a lot of time to realize how the foot print of his childrens life will be FOREVER changed!! As for Elizabeth .don't let the bastards get you down.

It is sickening to think that he had an affair when Elizabeth was so sick. He's an adulterer...pathetic.. a lousy husband. Elizabeth has all the money and power and she doesn't actually need him. Or does she? But I believe Elizabeth gave him a second chance. People do make mistakes. Men cheat on women daily and why is it such a great deal though? Is it because he's a politician? Not just a politician but he happens to be a Democrat. Here we go again......upcoming elections. Let's get all the juicy stories out.
While I am offened by John Edward's infidelity. I find it interesting that few (if any) people seem to care that John McCain cheated opn his first wife, Carol, after she was injured in a terrible accident. Why the double standard? Are Republicans immune to criticism for their infifelities?
It's not about infidelity it's about ego and hypocritical behavior. If he defeated Hilary and Obama this would have crushed his party. It's about talking about moral and ethics and leaving the speech to see his mistress. It's about hard working people that believed and supported him seeing their donation go to his mistress. It's about acting as the leader of the poor and living in a 28,000 square foot home and getting $400 haircuts.
Again, the McCain thing is old news. Should we also report that Pearl Harbor got bombed? That man landed on the moon? What does McCain have to do with John Edwards having an affair and then lying about it?
Because he's running for president and challenging Mr. Obama's "character". He's also trying to manipulate what others think about character in attack ads. That's why. Besides, Mr. Edwards had an affair, he did not abandon his wife - physically. He did emotionally. I'm sure Mr. McCain affair will be referenced somewhere down the line - in a debate.
Can you give me one example? From what I have seen, McCain is challenging Obama's substance (of which we know very little). I do know he was involved in a questionable real estate deal in Chicago with a guy who is now in prison for bribery (Rezco). I would rather have an affair hanging over my head in a debate than shady dealings with a convicted felon.
I think likening him to Castro and putting him in that company. Saying he doesn't care about "real people" with regard to war, poverty and suffering is really trying to bash his character. Trying to brand him as elite when he himself has more property, vacation time and is more "out-of-touch" with gaudy accoutrements to go through life. The tax distortions are pretty lame and insulting. The implication that Mr. Obama is afraid of him is ineffective and outrageous considering their public speaking abilities. Then there's the bungling oil drilling trap. Mr. Obama is not falling for it, but attacks on his character had him sitting and playing the same game because there are more dumb American than smart ones.

That's a couple.
To whoever said Edwards sex life is his business only, tell that to his wife and the people that he to vote for him. It's for the whole entire planet to see now.
It is nice to see people getting caught doing this kind of thing. It re-enforces me when temptation passes my way.
Why do we continue to become so obsorbed in someone elses sex life? I can rattle off ten different people who have had extra marital affairs and LIED about it to friends and colleagues not to mention their spouses. Of those none of them were on the nighly "news". Public figure? What goes on between two consenting adults behind closed doors is not public. Do I condone? No, but I am not married to any of them nor am I married to John Edwards. What we have is a blurred line between what is our business and what is NOT. John Edward's extra marital affair in no way has anything to do with politics, Democartic or Republic parties, why the sun raises in the east and sets in the west. This is for John and Elizabeth Edwards only.
Rielle Hunter is an air head. John Edwards has lied repeadely concerning this horrific affair. To be lead away by such a person who has no concept of reality is par for the course. He has lied and denied this child he was caught seeing as recent as last month. What a shame, it just goes to show you can judge a book by its cover. My heart goes out to his sweet wife, who is intelligent, compassionate and self sacrificing. Putting her treatment for Cancer on hold to campaign for him. Too bad. Bur glad his chances to run our country have been squashed. We need men with a conscience, ethics, and strong character to resist temptation.
I don't really care who John Edwards sleeps with. His sex life is not my concern. Or yours. Or America's. His political track record is my concern, and is the only place I will pass judgement. It's ridiculous that politicians feel the need to comment or apologize. His family are the only ones who should have an opinion here....and that, should be private.
I've always been a huge fan of John Edwards and am very disappointed in his lack of judgement; I can't believe he was even attracted to this woman. However, why isn't the media castigating this woman. She KNEW he was married and that made no difference to her. They both should have said "NO" to having an affair, but she has just as much responsibility for this diaster as John Edwards does.
Mistresses are at fault and have to take their share of the blame but after all is said and done its the HUSBANDS who stand at the alter and make commitments to their brides for better or worse.
I think she's in it for the pay day like some cheap reality TV show. I hope she gets completely ignored.
I didn't like John Edwards due to his close association with John Kerry. Kerry, being a strong environmentalist, would have been very detrimental to industry. When Edwards ran, one could only assume that he was from the same mold. Therefore, he would not have been good for our country. Had he not been the running mate of Kerry, and stayed away from environmental issues, I think he could have been elected President. At his age, it is likely that he will run again in a future election, and quite possible that he will be elected if he chooses to distance himself from the Loonies of the Left. As for his sex life, that is between
him and his wife.
Rielle HUnter is an air head. He had an affair with a stupid woman, who has no clue about reality. John Edwards gambled it all away and lied about the illigitimate child. His true colors have been exposed. His chances for president are squashed, thank God. To leave a wife who is intelligent and compassionate and self sacrificing to have an affair with this bimbo, then lie several times concerning it, he deserves everything that happens to him.
Also, was Rielle planning on starring in this "genius" idea of a TV show she wanted to pitch? Was she doing "research" or something? And is that why she moved out to CA? geez...what a bright woman. oy.
Ahhhh forgiveness! A great concept. but surely forgiveness is not an automatic reflex the very second someone announces their bad behaviour and hangs their head in shame. (Or was it that he knew he was about to be exposed, and was doing some damage control?) Of course we have to judge people - otherwise there would be nobody in jail, Hitler would have continued to destroy civilization, and serial killers would just keep on doing their thing.
Doesn't forgiveness require repentance and reparation? Edwards is only saying he repents because he got caught. Puhleez!
I too was very disappointed and sadddened by the Edwards affair, but he is not my husband so it is really none of my business. I say the media needs to give it a rest so the family can hopefully move forward and do their own healing and forgiving. We are all human, and but "there for the grace of God go I."
Rielle is nothing but a home wracking BLANK. I think in NC Elizabeth Edwards could sue her for big bucks. I would go after her for all she will ever be worth. And just be Blank if i died
that she would ever be around my children. Elizabeth needs a good Atty..
Oh sure, that's a great idea, file a lawsuit in her spare time while she's being treated for cancer. I guess I'm surprised that only one comment out of the many here advises that. That seems to be the answer for a lot of people these days. And what would be the grounds for her lawsuit? Mental anguish? What's that worth these days?
I don't see any mention here about John McCain's more recent interlude with a blonde lobbyist who has reportedly disappeared since members of the press started asking questions about her. Just google Vicki Iseman.
What a hypocrite he is to throw stones at Clinton when he was living in a glass house. The truth shall set you free.
