What Rielle Hunter Told Me

It's unfortunate that someone with so much potential has what I would deam a very significant character flaw. It is a matter between he and his wife, however, it becomes a matter of public opinion as well. After so many examples of political figures that have been caught in affairs, you would THINK that he would use recent history as a reminder of whats right and wrong if for no other reason than the risk of getting caught is VERY VERY high. You would THINK that his family would be a little more important than someone he admittedly didn't even love. You would THINK the country that he cares about so much about and the people that have worked so hard to support him would deserve more. As a mother, I am so sick and tired of having these issues with President/Presidential candidates x rated affairs on the news and radio. Keep it in your pants and if you can't, get the hell out of politics!!!!!!!

I think Rielle lady has a serious issue. I also think she had motive for something but it didn't work. I feel that even maybe Elizabeth Edwards could have been hurt because this women obviously seemed to have something going on for Edwards and maybe was going to hurt the wife..NEVER KNOW!

Here is a perfect example of the MSM (Newsweek) having the goods on John Edwards early and never pursuing it. I find it remarkable that this man calls himself a journalist. The whole article sounds more like he was trying to compete with Edwards on getting into this trollops panties than tracking down the truth about the affair.

Don't we have enough crap going on in the world than to give Edwards press over an affair that happened two years ago, and the legitimate press didn't feel was worthy enough to even pursue, even though the guy was a potential candidate for the highest office of our country. Perhaps because that office had already been defiled by the other adulterers who had resideded there....give me a break...kick this loser to the curb with his huzzy and illigitimate kid and let's get focused on the real problem here...we are about to elect our next president and the main issue is not whether he is qualified by his experience and knowledge, but by his age or race....we have soldiers on the battlefield who is waiting to hear who the next commander and chief will be....that is the most important thing we should be looking at....poet1951

Yes lets move on and forgive and forget....that way we can focus on the Republicans and stop any efforts they make to dig this country out of the muck and slime that comes out of our partys mouth every time we speak...GO Obama and Hillary! defeat those terrible Republicans and their endless efforts to keep corproate America from going bankrupt...those terrible, terrible corproations that kill us all and poolute our children with jobs and food and schools and cars and...only two weeks a year vacation

Wow! This woman's thinking is W-H-A-C-K-E-D!!!

Edwards: another fallen politician.

Romney wouldn't, and didn't, ever do anything like this.

Romney 2012!

I think it is a knee-jerk reaction for people to say automatic things like "I made a terrible mistake, let people down, whatever contrite response". As a society, we need to develop and permit a better view of sex and sexual relations. I don't think they made a mistake at all.

Well I liked John Edwards before and I STILL like him. He committed adultery against his family though and I'm sure he's being held accountable there. He wasn't married to the press or the public. He made a bad decision and people have a right not to trust him again for a while. Beyond that, I say to the media especially, GET A GRIP! This story is TWO years old and the most important person in all of this (HIS WIFE) has dealt with it and she still loves her husband. I believe we the public deserve better attention from the media than harping on this trite, yesterday news. Let's move on with the real issues that affect our future.

Amazing..................why in the world do we......Americans........have any passion for any of our politicians?????
In all of America......we .....the media.....and us have chased away the "good ones"............who in their right mind would run for president?????????????only the egocentric cheaters and slime of the earth will put themselves out there.
Sooooooooo very sad.
Shame on all of us1

The reason this is a story is because Edwards made very poor choices during a presidential campaign that put him, his party, and the presidency at risk. McCain cheated on his first wife after he had not seen her in 5 years because he was a prisoner of war, and while he was a private citizen outside of the public eye. Sure moraly its the same thing. However, the reason Edwards story is relevant is because he did it as a public figure with so much to lose. His actions during a campaign show his hypocracy and poor ability to make good decisions.

Edwards spent his life scamming the legal system with class action law suits that took down companies and products, causing people to loose jobs while gaving little to nothing to his clients for their supposed damages...only to build his mansion(s) and increase his wealth...typical washington liberal. He is the moral equivilent of...well, a liberal. The 33% who would vote for anyone who makes the dems ticket regardless of what they have done...so long as they can win. Integrity does not matter to his party, in fact many likely think this makes him more "cool".

For those of you who are faulting only John Edwards, Wise up!!! This woman is a nut case and obviously Had more than a little to do with throwing herself at him and tempting him to make a serious error in judgement. Elizabeth Edwards has stood by him and that should speak volumes about who he really is. This is a classic case of the age old problem of infidelity. There is generally never just one person to blame and there are many problems in every marriage. I am a woman who has been on both sides of this problem in the past and it is far more complicated than the people who wish to judge him are making it. Keep your chin up Mr & Mrs. Edwards. As they say and this too shall pass.
