I give not a shit about the Edwards thing.

[Erin Elizabeth]

Post here if you also give not a shit.

And please, no schooling on why I should give a shit. It's not going to work. I don't. I never will. I'm not Elizabeth Edwards, I'm not a member of his family, and he's not the nominee. Therefore, I give not a shit.

Who's with me?

Now I'm going to get back to tearing apart, making fun of, and laughing at Grandpa Simps--I mean John McCain. It's awesome fun.

[JeffR]

1. Thank you!

Agreed 100%.

[nomaco-10]

17. And neither will the rest of the universe after....

this 24 hour news cycle ends.

Sure knocked the russian invasion of georgia off the news though.

[pointblank]

28. BAM

I've been wondering why that story wasn't front fucking page

Folks...I believe that we are in a de-facto state of war with the Russians...shouldn't that be front page, not the stupid ass Olympics or Edwards?

Orwell anyone? Hand me some aluminum foil. :tinfoilhat:

[movonne]

2. me

[FrenchieCat]

3. This is a one day story tops.

I don't really give a shit either.

[glowing]

4. yeah, I'm with you ..

If I run, my life and my decision to stick by the person I was dating and eventually marry will be suspect and probably asked about.. I wouldn't look back on my decisions as mistakes.. Life is about learning. Life is about living. Life is not something you can bottle and market in a picture or on t.v.

5. I consider Edwards a snake

but I base that judgement on his time as a legislator.

This stuff I don't give a flying fuck about.

[avaistheone1]

11. I still like Edwards.

None of the Dems records are bullet proof, and we all know it. But we have significantly better records than the repukes.

[inthebrain]

12. I don't baswe my judgement of Edwards on this incident

I think anyone doing that is really easily led by the nose.

[27inCali]

6. with you bro

time for people to grow up.

[DJ13]

7. I only give a shit if the MSM gets forced into covering McCains infidelity as a result

The Edwards story itself is a private matter between them otherwise since there is no longer any chance he will be President.

[Erin Elizabeth]

10. Oooo that's a good point.

Ok that's when I would give a shit, too.

[inthebrain]

16. Better to just ridicule these people

[AlCzervik]

8. Add me to the list.

[Dollface]

9. Me too. But I'd still do him.

(If he weren't married)

[Toucano]

20. Tramp!

Just Kidding!

He has a pretty nice butt. :wink:

[Life Long Dem]

13. No need to focus on this

and no need to explain what is more important.

[RichGirl]

14. I wish we were like France.

I wish we could just expect our leaders to do a good job and not be concerned about their personal lives.

[Guava Jelly]

15. Me either

.

[SidneyCarton]

18. The Russians and the Georgians (not Atlanta LOL) went to war today.

Surely there are more important things to talk about today.

[Erin Elizabeth]

21. Amen.

[Toucano]

19. Here Here!

[Raineyb]

22. You can add me to the not giving a shit list n/t

Regards

[redsoxrudy]

23. Only one reason to care

You are right this is between Edwards and his family. But a lot of Edwards supporters( I was one at the start) gave a lot of time, money and effort for him and that is why many are disappointed and angry. The fact that he would run for Prez with this shit waiting out there is why a lot of us think he is an arrogant prick right now. That said it is a lot more fun laughing at that wrinkly white haired dude.
"See you at the debates bitches."

[Blondiegrrl]

24. I can't figure out why this stuff is being discussed in the GD: Presidential forum.

I don't much care for Edwards ... never did. But can't we move this stuff somewhere else? The guy is no longer running for president and it's pretty obvious he won't get tapped for VP. I'd rather concentrate on helping Obama win.

[RedShoes]

25. remember how they just LOVED the "Clenis"? What's Edwards' the "Jenis"?

i posted on ONE thread in GD as to why the fuss about Edwards and not Vitter the Shitter. I am now over it.

His zipper is none of my business.

Bottom line.

[earth mom]

26. I'm with you. It's none of any of our business. Period. nt

[lumberjack_jeff]

27. Preach it. n/t

[AwakeAtLast]

29. Call me Switzerland

without the holding Nazi money part, though.

[bemildred]

30. Word.

Another form of missing white girl story, as far as I'm concerned.

[Canuckistanian]

31. Present!

This is a private family matter.

[bigwillq]

32. I don't give a shit.

Although I am having fun posting in some of the threads. I am home on a Friday night with nothing else better to do!


I find it comical that so many are personally offended as if John Edwards did this to them, and them only. What an insult to Mrs. Edwards and the children.

People take politicians way too seriously. I don't even care that he lied or used campaign funds. I'm sure there is much more that John, and every other politican, hasn't been truthful about (and not just over his infidelity).

[bertman]

33. I'm with you Erin. Thanks.

[Andy Canuck]

34. I give a shit

but only into the toilet bowl, outhouse, or if camping, the woods.

[devilgrrl]

35. I'm disappointed that he didn't solicit $10, 000 a night prostitutes, wear diapers or

get any action in public toilets.

What a loser.

:sarcasm:

[Joe Chi Minh]

36. What does it tell us about the maundering, simpering Pharisees, if not

that they are so wealthy that they don't care tuppence that John Edwards has an outstanding record of helping the little guy against evil corporations, as a lawyer - the fact that he made a bomb doing so is the bitterest pill of all for them to swallow, since they're such mammon worshippers - or that he has ideas about how to spread that help across the nation. How nice it must be to be so rich and so smug that those plans of John Edwards are more likely seen as a threat to their filthy lucre!

[jonnyblitz]

37. you people that don't give a shit about lying and deception

are a corrupt politician's DREAM constituents. All I can say is if you don't hold them to a standard, especially the ones running for president, then you deserve the assholes that you get.

[bemildred]

38. Well, I must say I enjoy the idea of you being screwed because of my intransigent attitude. nt

[warren pease]

39. Anyone looking for moral authority from the political class is just pissing up a rope.

Or, less crudely put, like Diogenes looking for the last honest man -- and finding only knaves and scoundrels. Same result, same inevitable disappointment.

They're pretty much sleaze personified and -- when not boffing young campaign workers or setting girlfriends up in high-end condos (which they then write off as a business expense) or doing the airport stall two-step -- they're hard at work on behalf of their corporate sugar daddies, which is almost inevitably directly counter to the interests of the "little people" in their districts.

Rather than using their power to advance the principles this country was supposedly built on, they spend their time stabbing their constituents in the back every time the peoples' needs conflict with those of their Mandarin employers sitting in the boardrooms and executive suites of our corporate city-states.

War for oil? No problem. Relax air quality standards? Where do I sign? Roll back a century of workers' rights? Here's my offshore account number. Keep health care private? No problem; the plebes are dumb enough to go for that.

Never, ever look to politicians for character, moral leadership, courage, conviction or willingness to put their careers on the line for a principle. There are very few exceptions. Maybe a couple dozen in the House, far fewer in the Senate out of 535 members of the current congressional cesspool.

40. He asked us to climb on-board his ocean liner while he knew that he was heading for an iceberg.

that's not moral.

that's not good judgment.
