John Edwards was just indited by a North Carolina Grand Jury for funneling cash from his presidential campaign to his mistress.
Hate to admit it but I voted for John Edwards for President in the CA Democratic Primary in 2008
Edwards claims he is innocent and was not aware this money funneling was going on and had no knowledge of this happening. He also denied he had any affairs or fathered a child with his mistress but later admitted he lied to protect his family.
Oh well I was wrong about Edwards in 2008 but did stay at a Holiday Inn..

Hate to admit it but I voted for John Edwards for President in the CA Democratic Primary in 2008 and I voted for McCain in the 2000 MA Republican Primary. that's an example of another politician who is no longer fit to be President. McCain's gone off his rocker lately. as far as Edwards, I highly doubt that he had no idea how his mistress was being kept out of sight. it will be interesting to see what other skeletons come out of his closet as this moves forward. |

It is illegal to use your campaign finance money to hush up a mistress? Can't think of any more important thing for a campaign to use its money for than that.  It seems that this prosecution of Edwards is over technicalities of campaign finance laws. I wonder if it is worth the time and expense. |

Apparently Edwards has a wienie issue just like congressman Weiner....Dems have to be more discreet when using their weeny wienies, I guess.....So we have Edwardsgate and Weinergate due to two dems who couldn't keep their flies zipped....must be contagious these days in politics

I could add Eliot Spitzer to your list too, P.I. |

Anyhow I think Edwards will not let this go to trial because he has three kids and will work out a plea...but who cares what I think?? But can post my views here I guess, and may have had my head up my ass when I voted for Edwards..so deal with it..

Edwards was not a poor lawyer. Why did he just not pay her off in his own private stash? Goes to prove power and money corrupts and makes some stupid.

John Edwards charged in felony indictment Donated money allegedly used to keep ex-presidential candidate's mistress hidden in 2008 www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43260386/ns/politics-more_politics/?GT1=43001[quote author=handyman2 board=politics thread=9244 post=371147 time=1307115281]Edwards was not a poor lawyer.

Goes to prove power and money corrupts and makes some stupid.[/quoteHe is cheap...he lived in luxury and didn't contribute much of his wealth to the poor as he claimed....I think if you look up the word "phoney" in the dictionary you will find John Edwards as a perfect example along with Barack Obama who has his old buddy Creg Craig* assisting Edwards which doesn't look too good to me.. www.docstoc.com/docs/80895941/John-Edwards-Indictment*Greg Craig, who was previously White House counsel for President Barack Obama, |
