At the rate we're going the only person that's going to be qualified to hold office is Jesus Christ himself. I know as a world of unrepentant sinners, we aren't ready for him to come back and take the reigns yet. I don't think there is a man or woman alive with the smarts to be a politician, that hasn't done something they shouldn't have. Having said that. The basic instinct required to hold office; competitiveness. Is against the Christian nature in itself. In order for you to win, your opponent has to lose. You can't concern yourself with who needs the win the most. It's all about you.
Now we can understand the half hearted effort put on by John Edwards in his bid for the Democratic nomination. He endorsed Barack Obama, but I think it was only because he was the projected winner anyway. He didn't want to be more of a distraction to the party, than he knew he would undoubtedly become at some point. So he tried to quietly disappear with no fanfare, unlike the other opponent Hillary Clinton. Or did he really? Now Barack Obama has to take a position, even though it wasn't him. This story was brewing all the time. Bringing it up now only gives a stage to other candidates ethical indiscretions. From what I've seen already, that would be to McCain's advantage.
Whether he is the biological father or not doesn't really matter. The damage to his credibility, and political career are already done. Reilly Hunter appears to be just some jump off to him. She was also sleeping with his campaign finance director during that time. There isn't even a father listed on the child's birth certificate. Last I heard she has refused to take a paternity test. I think she was making her rounds among the higher echelon campaign workers. She will find out who the father is when we find out. John Edwards just got caught up in the mix.
From what I heard, she and Edwards used the finance director to avert attnetion away form John. Back when she became pregnant she said it was the finance director's child.
ReplyDeleteOf course he is married and has 3 kids himself and somehow his wife is okay with this.
Edwarda can say all day long he will take a Paternity test but he knows she won't have one done, I'm sure they have already talked and set it up before hand.
If Edwards hasnt been involved with her since 2006 why was he caught leaving her hotel room at 3 AM last month
