Amazing, to think that not so long ago, close to 50% of Kossacks were backing Edwards for President. Not only were you backing him, you were writing diaries, blogging, etc, pleading for donations and rallying your whole intellect to convince us that Edwards was the best nominee for beating the rethugs in 2008.
Well, now I want all you Edwards in 08' people to stand up.
Because when rumors began circulating that Edwards was cheating on his saintly wife and had fathered an illegitimate child - things that could potentially sink him in scandal, you went into denial mode. You blamed the media, and continued to assure us in your infinite wisdom, that Edwards should be the nominee.
Even when definitive proof came out that yes he'd lied. He was having an affair, and probably did father an illegitimate child, you responded "who cares - he should still be the nominee." As if we're not living in still-puritan America. You were asking us to support and fund a nominee who would be continually be vulnerable on moral issues, and who would provide limitless fodder for tabloid distraction.
And now this.
RALEIGH Federal investigators are sifting through the records of money that helped John Edwards' presidential campaign to determine if any was used to keep quiet his affair with Rielle Hunter.
The suspicion that some of Edwards' campaign money may have been used to pay Hunter or Young angers some of his former donors.
"If they were stealing money to cover up John's personal failings, it is profoundly disappointing," said Finberg, the attorney who contributed $25,000 to the Alliance for a New America. "My heart goes out to Elizabeth Edwards. I am sorry this is how she has to spend her last days on earth and how their children will remember their father."
So yeah, I want all you Edwards supporters to stand up right now. Make yourself known so that I can remember who it is among us with zero judgment about political candidates. Then I will know that when I see you backing a dem in a primary, to always vote for somebody else.
