75. Where did I say that it was ok for Clinton?

I posted hundreds of times that the lying in the primary by Clinton on the various issues should have been enough for the Democrats to have selected another nominee. ANY Democrat would have won as GHWB was at 33%! Clinton is brilliant and a very talented politician, but his moral code could use a lot of work - especially in telling the truth.

You suggested that JRE did not lie and Clinton did. I think, if anything, JRE;s lies were worse as he denied his own daughter.

I don't need to be anybody to have an opinion, and I don't apologize for that. teddy51 May 2012 #26

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
