Although I am totally Pissed off with John Edward's, I do agree with both Ed Schultz and [View all]

Mike Papintonio that Edwards is a great asset to the Democratic party.

Lets face facts, Bill Clinton and Monica did not actually uphold any morality.

I was an Edwards supporter from the get go, and am very happy, given the situation that he did not win.

I agree GCP Jun 2012 #59

shut up? right. left out a huge part of it. seabeyond Jun 2012 #60

He was putting the win and himself ahead of everything else... cynatnite Jun 2012 #76

that is how i see it. but then, a lot of people dismiss that. i dont. nt seabeyond Jun 2012 #79

I don't either. It shows an incredible lack of integrity. n/t cynatnite Jun 2012 #81

I'm truly curious how you see him as an asset. cali May 2012 #4

Simple, he can get his ass out there and tell everyone how wrong he was to do teddy51 May 2012 #8

Edwards has no excuse pnwmom May 2012 #11

uh, that makes exactly no sense. cali May 2012 #13

Yes it does though, because I understand stress and I seriously believe that he may very well have teddy51 May 2012 #15

He was not shut out by the media karynnj May 2012 #27

The point where his coverage was seriously lowered was after Iowa 2008 karynnj May 2012 #42

again ManyShadesOf Jun 2012 #58

Technically yes, practically no karynnj Jun 2012 #68

so much power in the tube. ManyShadesOf Jun 2012 #69

Do keep in mind, he was banging that woman WHILE his wife was Autumn May 2012 #45

Autumn... Hermes Daughter Jun 2012 #48

Hermes Daughter, McCain is a piece of shit who means nothing to me. Autumn Jun 2012 #62

I don't have any respect for what either Bill Clinton or John Edward's has done with respect to teddy51 Jun 2012 #51

I just don't remember Bill cheating and fathering a child with another woman Autumn Jun 2012 #66

But he never even explained why he sponsored the Iraq war bill! Spike89 Jun 2012 #86

Maybe... Hermes Daughter Jun 2012 #52

i disagree completely. he should go away. imho. spanone May 2012 #6

Asset, behind the scenes maybe. In a decade or two he might be semi-redeemed, rather like Hart. HereSince1628 May 2012 #7

Most interesting how some are okay with excusing Bill Clinton for his infidelities, but not others! teddy51 May 2012 #9

Hmm misplaced reply? HereSince1628 May 2012 #10

John Edwards kicked his wife when she was down. What did Clinton do that was comparable? pnwmom May 2012 #12

really. clinton's career is doing great, hasn't missed a beat, making more money than he ever HiPointDem May 2012 #17

Yep, and he very often star's with the likes of Cheney or George W in his roles as well. I think teddy51 May 2012 #20

whenever the living presidents get together, it's bill an the bushes, with carter obviously not in HiPointDem May 2012 #39

I really respect President Carter for his humanitarian efforts, the others not so much. nt teddy51 May 2012 #44

JRE was no "outsider" karynnj May 2012 #34

bilderback? new one on me. HiPointDem May 2012 #36

You are right Hermes Daughter Jun 2012 #54

Except I somehow slipped on the name - thanks for using the correct one! karynnj Jun 2012 #74

Well said... Hermes Daughter Jun 2012 #49

It's different when it's Bill Clinton. Zalatix Jun 2012 #57

Gary Hart is who I keep thinking of re Edwards. Good point. Gidney N Cloyd May 2012 #16

Major differences karynnj May 2012 #31

Everyone is forgetting another politician Hermes Daughter Jun 2012 #50

Clinton cheated on his wife,this guy was an abomination in what he virgogal May 2012 #19

Clinton cheated on his wife, and so did Edwards, but did Edwards lie about his cheating? Bill teddy51 May 2012 #22

Edwards lied repeatedly karynnj May 2012 #33

I guess you missed this; "I did not have sexual relations with that women". So, it's ok if Bill teddy51 May 2012 #35

Where did I say that it was ok for Clinton? karynnj Jun 2012 #75

Did you happen to see who was standing behind JRE during his press release? I know, I know teddy51 Jun 2012 #78

so if a person with "many accomplishments" does it, it's forgiveable, but if a person with somewhat HiPointDem May 2012 #38

No, but it does change what their impact on the country is karynnj Jun 2012 #77

I'm not saying you are, just saying that there seems to be some selectivity going on. HiPointDem Jun 2012 #80

an "abomination" ??? Hermes Daughter Jun 2012 #55

Yes,abomination. Since when does it imply homicide? virgogal Jun 2012 #70

I still believe Edwards would help the poor Life Long Dem May 2012 #37

I do as well. Have I lost one hell of allot of respect for him? Yeah, but hell he is just a man. teddy51 May 2012 #40

He 'would help the poor'? What's stopping him? He's got millions and millions... Bluenorthwest Jun 2012 #65

He WAS an asset. Past tense. His political career is over. But don't cry for him, Argentina. Honeycombe8 May 2012 #41

Yep, sorta something like Billy Clinton the sexual addict that ran lose in Little Rock Arkansa. teddy51 May 2012 #43

Full circle. Closure! n/t Hermes Daughter Jun 2012 #56

Bill never stood up and delivered lectures on how 'sanctified and traditional' his marriage was Bluenorthwest Jun 2012 #67

Clinton didn't have an illeg. child while his wife was dying from cancer... Honeycombe8 Jun 2012 #72

Edwards is a toxic as anyone in America underpants Jun 2012 #71
