There is a significant difference between Edwards and Republicans like McCain and Gingrich. True all cheated on wives with cancer or gross disfigurements, but McCain and Gingrich went the extra step by then dumping their cancer-ridden or disfigured wives. Doesn't look like Edwards is going to go that far.

Don't you just love Republican family values?

And on a semi-related note, after Bob Dole's wife put him back together, he dumped her for Libby - who coincidentally, was much better looking than his ex-wife.

You didn't do your due diligence and you got burned....

Speaking of due diligence -- Whatever happened to him ?

Laguy

Republicans far prefer the Greek lifestyle. McCain was one of the few that chased pussy rather than dick. He always was a maverick in the GOP (Gay Old Party).

I wonder who put Edwards' feet to the fire to force him to come out with this at this particular moment. Methinks it was a Dem, someone jockeying for the VP slot, even though I'd think Opie, oops, I mean Edwards, was aiming for a cabinet position.

Actually, this story apparently has dogged Edwards for a year or so, but broke in a bigger way after that esteemed repository of quality journalism, the National Enquirer, caught him at the Beverly Hilton visiting the woman he had (or is still having, depending on what you believe) an affair with.

The one favor Edwards did the Democrats was to admit what he had done a few weeks before the Democratic Convention. I suspect this was intentional because the last thing he or other Democrats would have wanted is for it to break big during the convention.

Plus it's August and during the Olympics, so more than likely this story will play itself out by Labor Day.

I'm in North Carolina almost every week and the radio stations in Raleigh have been commenting on the "love child" for well over a month.

Edwards is right ...there are to Americas. One where sleazy trial lawyers can fly around with them their whore for months running for President paying her with with campaign contributions. Where is the outrage from the Democrats....how many of his campaign workers work for little or no money during his run while he was fucking around. The latest is that he again has lie about when he told his wife about the affair and they have video that proves she was still flying around on the campaign trail after he claims he had told his wife about the affair.

It is just a matter of time before someone in the press puts the time line that his wife coming out of the remission of the cancer to where it was diagnosed as terminal was caused by the stress of his affair and his lying to her.

Yeah, because stress causes cancer to spread and become terminal. Is that what you're saying today? So basically, if you just sit around all day and do nothing, you won't get cancer because you won't be stressed? Wow, that's amazing.

Fucking moron.

Cat: Lower your voice please. If you upset Beachman he'll come down with cancer and it will be on you.

With morons like Beachman voting it's no wonder we've had to suffer 8 years of a retard in the White House and are now paying the consequences.

Hey, he knows what causes cancer to metastasize, so he's gotta be smart. Smart science, people.

How's the real estate business, BeachedMan?

I know this is hard to do, but please everyone ignore Beachman. By responding to him, you are actually doing what he wants. He wants to get a rise that's it. The worst penalty is just to ignore him. He craves attention and the worst thing we can do is to give it to him.

I get a good laugh out of Beachman's posts. Yeah, retarded posts can get annoying, but Beachman's posts go beyond this. They are so extremely retarded that in a strange sort of way they become entertainment. They are to political commentary what Masterbates' whale photos are to fashion photography. If we ostracize Beachman it would be a slippery slope indeed; is the next step going to be to ban Masterbates and his photos?

I say let's not try to scare away the Turk5555 of politics; those of us who were initially happy when Turk5555 departed have come to regret that he is no longer here spewing his own brand of nonsense. There are only so many village idiots to go around (although lately I've noticed an unfortunate exception to this maxim on CH), and we should consider ourselves blessed to still have one of them spewing inane garbage in our political threads.

Keep them coming Beachman!

That is what you liberals do...resort to name calling. Edwards is a sleaze and you still defended him. Branquino...Real Estate is just great....I have no worries....thanks for asking! I bet you you and Catocony wish you would had me working as a broker for you a couple of years. Maybe you too could be retired at 50 with no financial worries for the rest of your life!

Edwards is a sleazebag.

Obama will win the election.

Anything else?

Beachman,

I have no financial worries for the rest of my life. Thankfully I did not invest in FL real estate. But thanks for your concern.

And I'm pretty sure real estate in Florida is not great. I figure another 12 months of freefall before real estate is other than horrible. Once President Obama stops the literal and financial bleeding in Iraq, you may see things start to improve.

Oh, and while both Catacony and I are very supportive of people with developmental disablities, we avoid hiring retarded real estate agents, so we are actually perfectly happy to have not used your services in the past.

Beachman
Where were you when senator Larry Craig (Republican) Idaho was caught with his pants down trying to suck dicks in the Minneapolis airport ?? Seems to me he was married also .

Must be that you and your redneck cousins/wives feel adultery is OK if you cheat with a man ??
I bet you've worn out your DVD of Deliverance.

Yes, but Larry Craig was guilty only of having a wide stance. LOL.

> That is what you liberals do...resort to name calling

Hah! And this from a guy who is obviously overdosing on Fox News! Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make them a liberal, regardless of what your TV friends tell you.

But what has that got to do with a story on stress and cancer? I guess it just underlines your nonsensical ravings.

Khun Mor-

Republican or Democrat it doesn't matter to cheat on your spouse is about the most despicable nothing you can do. I know there are a lot of married mongers here if your spouse is aware and you can cheat on her with her blessing than go with it. But don't be selfish and live a lie and possibly expose your spouse to diseases and the emotional trauma once exposed. I expect 100% of married mongers if they found out their spouse was cheating on them, much less paying for sex would be outrage.

I am not preaching morality here.....if you are single go for it.....but once you take that vow.....honor you word. If you can't keep that vow....let your spouse know. If you don't and can't well how can you be trusted with your word with anything or anybody else while you are living a lie.

That is one of the reasons I am not much of a McCain fan......but it was years ago and he admitted to his infidelity. As far as I know...he wasn't using campaign donations to pay his whore!

I got news for you Beachman. Edwards isn't running for anything and contrary to your assertions has already been severely criticized by many Demoncrats.

So maybe you should give it up and concentrate on things that matter.

I love how people make a big deal about adultry but yet it was fine for our current president to lie and get us in a war. People can justify anything they want.

Beachman, I dont want to get anything going with you here, but do you really think you are on the right website?

You say you are not preaching morality, but then do just that. Adultery may not be something you would do, but why would it be any of your business if someone else chooses to do so? How does it effect you? Just curious. AZ

PS I hope we dont get into a premarital sex discussion next.

Premarital sex? Yes!
Postmarital sex? What's that?

There is no such thing, at least not worth talking about. AZ

Beachman,

I like to believe in the Double Standard, Im not technologically advanced or business savvy enough if it doesn't work!.........

CFK

CFK, you lost me on that one. BTW, Rio next week, are you in? AZ

Azguy,

unfortunately not this year. But if I don't get to Cuba this yr I will go with you next yr per your post. Have a super trip to Rio, tell the regulars I said hello.....

I never mix my politics, economics, religion, and my mongering but I am just shocked by what I watched on CNN. I knew I was out of touch with what's the real pulse of the US since I have been living abroad for a few years. But I didn't realize how out of touch I was until I came across the Saddleback Civil Forum on Presidency on CNN yesterday. Holy crap watching both McCain and Obama grovel in front of a bunch of Evangelical christians, and have it mainstream on a media outlet like CNN, is at the same time frightening, sad, and saps all my hope for the US to straighten its course.

It has become quite evident being back in the US of Shit for a few months that White Men are Third Class Citzens.

Asking for equal representation from the totalitarian Women/Minorites/Gay regime is villified as act of Terrorist Treason. In other words male needs are being dismissed as "silly" and "unnecissary" and when only "convient" and "advantagous" to Women/Minorities/Gay agenda; which now control the majority of wealth (through new legal mechinisms, divorce).

And on another note: who the FUCK thinks that ending poverty/ creating a worldwide global economy is GOOD idea. Wealth Distribution is a collegitate word for "losing your money". Americans bitch about the high price of commodities such as oil, and food which will only be strained further causing prices to increase with the more people that are brought into this "Worldwide" economy and bringin them "Out of Poverty".

Poverty will always exist as it just refers to the bottom of the food chain (those who have the least). Wait a second that us GUYS!

Is this a lame attempt to make Beachman look reasonable by comparison?

Everyone has a right to express how they feel, but "US of Shit"? FUCK YOU! I'll leave the rest of your comments to others, because I shy away from conflict. AZ

You know I never try to stir the pot unless it needs a little mixing.

Obama is for change....a tax cheat for Treasury Secretary. Biden isn't upset....I thought you were patriotic for paying taxes....now we have a Secretary of Treasury who is not patriotic.


But according to Harry Reid....paying taxes is voluntary. Can you believe this bullshit double speak he talks! These are the best and brightest of the Democratic Party that are going to lead our country the next 4 years!

Almost everyone agrees the subprime lending is the major cause of the financial crisis!

The Democrats ignored the subprime crisis and defended Freddie and Fannie. The Republicans tried to address the problem and the the Democrats voted them down.

Now the Democrats want to give out more free money very well knowing it will never be re payed!

Stimulus plans do not work! Didn't the government give out money last year ($600) to stimulate the economy and look what happened.

Keep wanking away.

Not all stimulus plans are the same. Only a dumbass like Bush would give people money to buy goods from China and think it would stimulate the economy. Infrastructure is a different matter. But you're too dull to see that one does not equal the other.

BTW, you lost!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................

Branquino,
I could not agree with you more that putting the lion's share of the stimulus package towards infrastructure would REALLY get things mocving in this country. But it seems to be a bit of a scam because only 5% of that stimulus package is actually going to infrastructure. The rest appears to be pork.
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2009/01/29/only_5_percent_of_819b_plan_would_go_toward_infrastructure/
I don't get it. Did I miss a meeting? I'm not exactly a Bush / Cheney fan but come on. Is this what we were promised?
Not that I'm blaming Mr. Obama, but boy, Nancy, Harry, and Henry didn't waste any time dressing up their agenda and calling it a "stimulus package".

(Message edited by riojake on January 30, 2009)

I wouldn't blame Harry yet as there will be an opportunity for the Senate to change the bill substantially. Let's wait to see what happens there.

If anyone derails the unstoppable Obama train it will not be the Republicans, it will be Pelosi and company. The greatest danger Obama faces going forward is from the far left.

Not being political. Just my objective observation.

More baseball bats brought to wallstreet is the answer. Direct application of the answer to the criminals is the solution.

Bring the bastards to their kness, make them afraid to go outside. Until the victims hold the guilty personally accountable they are part of the problem.

Thankyouverymuch (inbestelvisvoice).

Have a nice day.

(bringing baseball bats to the victims of economic cleansing for over .33 years.)

Sen. McCaskill certainly sent a message with her bill to cap pay and ban bonuses. Of course, when you hear $18billion in bonuses, people don't understand that most Wall Street types work for relatively less pay because of the bonuses. They're more deferred annual compensation than anything else. Then again, a lot get paid a huge sum of money for basically losing money, so fuck'em.

I got a great bonus just this month but it was entirely contingent on the fact the company was profitable and we met and exceeded designated performance goals. That's how I always figured bonuses work for everyone. Profit plus exceeding performance goals equals bonus. The size of said bonus is proportional to how profitable the company was and how far you exceeded performance goals. It seems to me that if the company is going down the shithole and is down at the welfare office begging for handouts, those who work for the place wouldn't be getting a bonus that year. I know I wouldn't have gotten my bonus if the company was not doing well.

Blissman seems to have the real answer. I would argue his solution is an entirely proper free market response. I believe you could consider that a correction of market imbalances. Government should stand back and just let it happen.

Let's see....Obama has now pick two Cabinet appointees...Geithner and Daschle who are tax cheats. This is the change that Obama promised!

Looks like Democrats like to give tax breaks because they don't pay taxes themselves.

Why isn't Joe Biden calling these guys unpatriotic......they not only didn't pay there taxes.....now that they have been caught not paying they are looking for every loop-hole to pay as little as possible.


If Bush would have named Republican's to serve in his Cabinet who were caught not paying their taxes.....will would still be hearing about it.

Daschle has no conflicts of interest.....didn't Obama promise change and now he make exceptions to suit his own political agenda breaking his campaign
promises!
