It has been confirmed...John Edwards did indeed have an affair, just as the "trashy" tabloid The National Enquirer first reported. He still maintains that he did not father the other woman's child, however, as though that fact alone condones his actions.

In 2007, the National Enquirer first broke the story about Edwards' affair, but Edwards vehemently denied the claims, saying, "The story is false,...It's completely untrue, ridiculous."

According to the AP/CBS news article, "He professed his love for his wife, Elizabeth, who had an incurable form of cancer, saying, 'I've been in love with the same woman for 30-plus years and as anybody who's been around us knows, she's an extraordinary human being, warm, loving, beautiful, sexy and as good a person as I have ever known. So the story's just false.' "

Yes, "honorable" Sen. Edwards, your story certainly was false. It was also hurtful to far more than just your family, although they will definitely suffer the most.

" 'Thousands of friends of the senators and his supporters have put their faith and confidence in him and he's let them down,' said Bonior, a former congressman. 'They've been betrayed by his action.' Asked whether the affair would damage Edwards' future aspirations in public service, Bonior replied: 'You can't lie in politics and expect to have people's confidence.' "

Oh really? I wonder if the "honorable" Sen. Ted Kennedy knows that? Or how about the "honorable" William Jefferson, Rep-D. of Louisiana? How about the "most honorable" William Jefferson Clinton and his esteemed wife and cohort, the "honorable" Sen. Hillary Clinton.?

These along with many other prominent democrats have continued to lie to the American public they are supposed to be serving and they continue to get away with it. There is no punishment, no damage to their careers or reputation, and most of all, no shame and dishonor. They are not torn apart by the mainstream media. In fact, their "mistakes" are often treated with kid gloves and the most that ever happens is a minor slap on the wrist.

It's disgusting and John Edwards, former democrat vice presidential candidateand Senator of the United States of America is just the lastest example of a group of morally bankrupt democrat politicians.

What a guy!
