Am I supposed to care that he cheated on his wife? I'm not his wife. lol I can't believe people actually care about this crap. It's not affecting the state of the nation. I'm not surprised that this came out now though. It seems like blackmail to me.

I agree. Why is it anyone's business what Mr. Edwards does with consenting adults in private?

20 years ago, Gary Hart did the same thing. He went from being the frontrunner for the Democratic nod to an outcast in record time. The fact his wife's battling breast cancer makes this even worse.

It isn't a crime... IMHO it's a private matter between Edwards and his family... anyone else has no business getting involved...

John Edwards the politician?
John Edwards the "Crossing Over" psychic guy?
John Edwards my truck driver friend?

As long as it's not my friend, I don't care.

I don't know much about it, it was in my local paper, but didn't pay it much heed.

however it bears in mind on what Clinton did, and look what kind of a mess he got in.

But it's news considering that Obama is/was considering him for VP.

Obama ran against John Edwards and wanted his pledged delegates more than him for VP. At the least he might have spoken at the Convention but will not be asked. I see they have selected Mark Warner to be the keynote speaker.

This really isn't suprising. Politcians are a certain kind of people.

So if a worker/manager consented to let you steal from the company, it would be "okay" because there was "consent" possibly between "adults" at whatever age you define as "adult"?

So, if your spouse cheated on you and claimed they had consent of the adulterer(ess), then it would not be morally reprehensible any longer?

What flaming cow dung the "consent" criterion is.

they are mistaking the the correct meaning of the words for the behavior

it is fornication if both consent and if neither party is married or promised for.

it is adultery when two people have consenting sex but either one of those are married.

the fact that they are consenting only means no one was coerced.

the only way being a bank robber is not a crime is if it is consensual with the bank.

''I think this President has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter. It is breathtaking to me the level to which that disrespect has risen."

-John Edwards, in 1999 regarding Bill Clinton's moral lapses
