Opinion of John Edwards?

[When?]

FF. Yes, the affair was morally wrong, but I don't know why people are so outraged by that. Many, many other politicians have also cheated on their wives on several occasions, but no one gives a sh**t when they do it. Yes, Edwards' wife did have cancer, but that doesn't make an affair more morally wrong. If anything, it actually makes an affair more justified. When your wife is dying of cancer and cannot have sex with you, it makes sense for a man with a high libido to have sex with someone else. Having an affair when your wife is healthy and able to have sex with you is far worse.

cheated on his wife = weak, irresponsible, not willing to be unhappy and suffer in order to protect his financial assets.

cheated on his wife who had cancer = extremely immoral, and i am not a man of many morals so you know. even if she had cancer and couldn't have sex with him, he is weak for being unable to resist his desire for pleasure.

the weak should not be allowed close to the US Presidency.

Cheating on his wife was a no Bueno move, but she wasn't exactly the nicest woman. I like his politics for the most part, but his snuggling up to labor and his populist message was never something I could get behind.

Why not? His brand of populism is what would have beaten Trump in 2020.

He's a scumbag ambulance chaser who turned out to be a scumbag in other areas of his life as well.

Dude, just stop. Some people take years to be ready to be with someone else after a spouse dies because of the emotional toll, but Edwards couldn't even wait for her to actually be dead. That audio of him talking completely unemotionally about how long after she dies he needs to wait to go public with his mistress is the worst s***. He's a sociopathic POS. She didn't even want him to run for office so he could spend time with her since she probably knew she didn't have long, but she still supported him when he ran and even campaigned for him as much as she could and he then proceeded to start doinking someone on his campaign. That's as low as it gets.

HP, not a good man.

[scutosaurus]

Anyone who has an affair is an HP, but especially someone in the circumstances that Edwards was in.

Bad choice as Veep and cost Biden OH. It was a gay ban in the state but Gephardt blue collar appeal would have overcome that, since Kerry was about to win Prez before the Reagan funeral and Bin Laden tape. Didnt defend Kerry enough during swift boat attacks

Bayh and Edward's are footnotes in History

This is one of the worst takes I've ever seen on Atlas, are you kidding me? This might be a troll but idc, I'm still digging in.

"Many, many other politicians have also cheated on their wives on several occasions, but no one gives a sh**t when they do it."

Gary Hart got demolished because of his affair but whatever you say

"Yes, Edwards' wife did have cancer, but that doesn't make an affair more morally wrong."

I actually agree somewhat here, having an affair no matter the context is an extremely disgusting and emotionally damaging thing to do to your spouse.

"If anything, it actually makes an affair more justified."

NO!

" When your wife is dying of cancer and cannot have sex with you, it makes sense for a man with a high libido to have sex with someone else."

Men aren't neanderthals, we have the capacity to keep it in our pants if need be. It's not rocket science, just jerk off!

Like i said, I still think this is a troll but there is a shockingly high number of people who justify affairs with the dumbest excuses and it's infuriating. Having an affair is a repugnant thing to do, full stop.

this is called being on the bottom right side of the political spectrum

Just a few of the many, many politicians who have cheated on their spouses:

Al Gore
Bill Clinton
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Newt Gingrich
Dwight Eisenhower
JFK
Antonio Villaraigosa
LBJ
Gavin Newsom
Rudy Giuliani

Yet nobody gives a sh**t when these people cheat on their spouses. Some of these people are hated, but for completely unrelated reasons.

I'm sorry, nobody gave a sh**t when Bill Clinton cheated on his spouse? Seriously?

JFK, LBJ, and Eisenhower all came from an era where it that activity was largely ignored. Acting like a President in the 50s should be precedent for a politician in the mid-2000s is ludicrous. Gary Hart was the beginning of an era where you couldn't get away with it as easily, especially in the Democratic Party.

The Republicans turning a blind eye to degeneracy is nothing new, I'm sure even some Republicans on this forum will even agree with me on that. You can't point to Republicans ignoring the actions of Gingrich, Giuliani, Schwarzenegger, even Donald Trump and act like that makes Democrats cancelling John Edwards a bad thing.

I haven't heard before today about Newsom or Villaraigosa doing this, I do not endorse either of those politicians and would very much support them getting criticism for their actions. However, and I cannot stress this enough, their actions DO NOT justify what John Edwards did.

John Edwards should be offered as a sacrifice to appease the Sun God.
