Elizabeth and John Edwards - Press Conference

[Africanhoneybush]

I just love her Southern drawl. Thank Yall..

[procommenter]

Regarding CANCER: It's not familial, not communicable, not environmental. Cancerous/malignant cells are errant healing cells. Healing cells are indistinguishable from pre-embryonic cells known as trophoblasts. Trophoblastic cells form a cluster and bore into the uterine membrane wall for nourishment as malignant cells metastasize or bore into outlying tissue. Cancerous growths mimic embryonic growth, indeed tumors and embryos are new life and establish circulatory systems.

R.I.P Elizabeth

[JohnnyRock2000]

Poor judgement for a president. Not much wisdom in American politics anymore. Cheap and exploitive. Talks as if she's not there.

Everyone that I know that had bone cancer died in a few years at the latest.

[CherubimandAngels]

O.K. people let's get real.

The entire U.S. finacial system has collapsed, and John Edwards is one of the

few leaders we have who can help us get out

of this mess. Just pray to God that

John Edwards still cares enough about America

to lend a helping hand.

[andrelebaron]

@CherubimandAngels

haha sucker

He says he felt that her cancer, which was originally diagnosed in 2004 and returned in an incurable form three years later, eventually became a campaign ploy for the couple.

"The brave pursuit of a victory despite the cancer would seem heroic," he writes about the 2008 campaign.

[TranCendenZ]

I am so disgusted by John Edwards for cheating on his cancer-stricken wife.  Now John has to pay $15,000 to his illegitimate child. Sick!

[ROCKU999]

I love this story!

Handsome senator cheats on his fat, old, ugly, and cancer infested wife.

[blueguise23]

Michelle Obama = 1st Lady

Cindy McCain = 1st Whore!

Bet John McCain's 1st wife Carol Shepp McCain would agree!

John McCain is WORSE THAN Edwards!

The McCains are SNEAKY, SHADY elites that can't be trusted!

[beefnliver]

John Edwards 08!

Rielle Hunter for VP 08!

Love Child for First Child 08!

[lucki39284]

My wife hates when I talk like this but here goes, YouTube...John Edwards, on the move, powerful, charismatic, good-looking...he's got woman on campaign fawning all over him. Sure he had MANY opportunities that he either passed on....but...it happened...he broke. How many of you, in in same position, would not fall into the same trap?

[mercryy]

well i cant speak for you, but as for myself im a pretty good looking guy and ive had many opportunities and ive turned every one of them down because i LOVE my wife, that word has little or no meaning for most people today. i would never cheat on my wife i love her and respect her too much. and besides, edwards has taken it up a notch from just cheating. his wife is DYING. she doesnt just have cancer, shes TERMINALLY ILL and this scum is screwing another woman behind her back and LYING about it

[lucki39284]

mercryys, i can only speak honestly about this subject. you may just be a better man than others. Simply that.

[George11Best]

knowing what they know, its amazing that each of them can say what they are saying. If you believe Edwards, his wife knew of the affair even on this day and she herself speaks about how great he is. Total hypocrites.

[ROCKU999]

His wife is worthless as a sex partner for anybody, she is fat, old, and very ugly.

I am proud of John Edwards for cheating his ugly fat old wife.

[nhbright]

Then why did he use her as a prop for his campaign? Maybe he made her fat and gave her cancer while he played "pretty boy".

[mar3lys]

You aren't worthy of being on the same planet as an Elizabeth Edwards. What kind of sad, sick, unloving childhood you must have had to become what you have become. Go far, far, far away.

[mercryy]

wow, what you just said says ALOT about you as a person. i hope some day you get married and get cancer and while you are DYING, you learn your wife ha been cheating and screwing another man behind your back the entire time. karma is a bitch. your shitty ignorant views and attitude will come back to haunt you some day, trust me. your parents must be very proud

[memama2]

This guy is immoral and a liar. He has no business running the sewage treatment plant(you have to have actual SKILLS and COMMAN SENSE to do that job!) and John Edwards has NONE! He is filled with baloney up to his eye balls and his whole staff and even his wife KNEW who he was , and allowed this fraud to continue till he got CAUGHT!YEH!!ENQUIRER!!!Thank you for some EXCELLANT journalism. FILM talks, politicans walk(or is that RUN) when caught. THAT KID IS HIS!! AND EDWARDS AND HUSSY KNOW IT!DNA?

[smgarza]

I don't understand what in the world Edwards saw in Hunter. YUCK! He is a very handsome man and could of been with a much more beautiful woman than that troll! I don't get it?? But I feel very sad for Elizabeth. How devastated she must be, especially when she already is struggling with cancer and feelings of being unattractive. What Edwards did was a very selfish thing and if he isn't in love with his wife anymore, he should of told her and dated whoever he wanted.

[nebaioth]

Edwards isn't running for President, but John McCain is!

John McCain should explain his very recent affair with Vicki Iseman (a woman who looks remarkably like Cindy McCain, but is at least 20 years younger.) Google her picture!

Americans have a right to know more about John McCain's affair with Vicki Iseman.

[lctrout]

JOHN MCCAIN cheated on and left his crippled wife for a blond beer floozy. Your turn now McCain...lets here all about it.

[simbasa12]

No, it's still Edwards turn and all of his supporters who claimed that this story was a pack of lies made up by conservative scumbags. So let's hear what you have to say...

Oh, and he is the dad. I would bet all of Gate's money. She doesnt want a paternity test now. Big surprise!

[highend3]

Liar liar pants on fire.

[ROCKU999]

John Edwards cheated on his ugly fat old cancerous wife.

[glowkiwi]

you guys are idiots. You ask anyone that has had cancer and they will you that they all wanted to get on with living. Not curl up in a ball and wait to die. It is easy to get on your high horse and spout bullshit about people you do not know about the choices you do not have to make. I hope none of your loved ones get cancer so you dont have to make the choices the Edwards family has. In the end, your opinions don't matter. This was their choice and theirs alone.

[RunninOnEmpty01]

Nobody expects them to curl up in a ball. But going out and cheating on her, I would think you would admit is across the line.

If Edwards were a Republican, it would have been plastered all over the news with hourly updates, and demands to resign.

It took a year just to get the press to wake up to it, which SHOULD...SHOULD open many people's eyes to what ELSE they had been covering up...and reporting.

Face it: There's bias.

[Chandlerbin2006]

Shake up the political establishment. Restore the constitution, repair foreign policy and bring back monetary sanity. Ron Paul for president spread the word. Go to ronpaul2008,com our liberties are in the balance. This is not part of the official campaign; I'm just a concerned citizen.

Thanks.

[flyonaribroast]

. John Edwards is a loser and will never be president. Even more of a loser for pimping out his cancer ridden wife to gain support for his run at never becoming president of the free world.

[Cuppcake07]

Well said. Thank you.

[CarsonWeber]

bottom line: John Edwards supports infanticide. I'm not talking about abortion.. I'm talking about a baby delivered breech all the way until just the head is yet to come out - then the abortionist crushes the baby's skull to complete delivery. Edwards mourned the partial-birth abortion ban & the Supreme Court's upholding of it.

[seltavigo]

its better for Mr.Edward to be next to Mrs.Edwards and leave the politics alone.

[yboostrom]

Thank you to YouTube to making these videos available from candidates across the political spectrum.

[Mistermatt1984]

Stop being idiots and hope his wife gets better! You guys are all rude to turn this into a political battle. His wife is sick with cancer, it could your wife, your mom, your sister, your aunt, your grandmother. You all are disreguarding the fact that she is a human being. You should be ashamed!

[compwhiz2000]

I agree with you, however if it was my family that was having problems I would stay with them, especially with my WIFE!

[Cuppcake07]

So you think that running for Pres is ok when your wife is dying and prob will die soon? You think he has his priorities straight? Of course we are all so saddened for her. So shouldn't her final days be spent with her husband & children who are 6 & 8 and not on the campaign trail. It is so sad.

[flyonaribroast]

Jebb Bush 08

[methodwriter85]

Nah, he doesn't campaign for the right to kill babies or benefits for men who take it in the ass, as you say...

He just believes that women have the right to choose what to do with their own bodies, and that sexual orientation doesn't matter when it comes to whom a person wants to spend their life with.

[BrattyMaddy]

My prayers are with you Mr. Edwards and your refreshingly real and honest wife. I hope you are able to beat this cancer as a family and help return this country to reason and integrity. Its going to be a long tough road.

[hoipollloi]

I have a technical question. What kind of lamp?

[hoipollloi]

What kind of lamp?

[hoipollloi]

Just imagine if it was your wife. I like Family. Yes they have a good doctor. Wait.... oh yes I will keep a good attitude. Oh no way your life is totally going to change. You fucking have cancer. Don't change a thing. Wait.... who are you? I don't think my issues will cross your issues.

[hoipollloi]

Stay inside and watch the news.

[alanrk11]

Discusting that you would use your wifes illness to better your political career. Go back to watching reality TV...blind liberal sheep.

[HNK222]

Typical Republican: devoid of empathy or morals and robotically repeating the talking points of Limbaugh, O'Reilly, and other paid movement shills.

Where's Osama? And why is allowing America to become a weak, despised imperialistic tyrant on the world stage where democracy and lawfulness is considered "dumb"? I'm sure you'll have a cogent answer.

[bmicky]

suck my dick

[compwhiz2000]

You're an idiot, he's a democrat not a republican

[alanrk11]

Discusting that you would use your wifes illness to better your political career. Go back to watching reality TV...blind liberal sheep.

[BrattyMaddy]

Since when do so-called "liberals" watch more reality tv than reichwingers. American Idol is like the one thing Rosie and elisabeth have in common on the view. You repubs blame democrats for everything even abstract trends like bad reality tv eventhough we've had no power in the past 7 years when everything went to pot under imperialist pig skull and bones New World Order thug Bush.

[alanrk11]

Discusting that someone would use their wifes illness to better their political career.  Go back to you reality shows blind liberal sheep.

[compwhiz2000]

I TOTALLY AGREE! If my wife was sick I would be with her.

[mendm1]

john edwards all the way in 08 and 12

[kernalrick]

I really feel for them, I am a republican and shall be till i die. My mother had this same thing happen to her. when the cancer came back and was found in the bone it took 6 weeks. I do agree that they made a lot of cash from sueing, But God says if you live by the sword you shall fall by it. Mrs edwards, get saved before it's to late.

[leemann25177]

I am surprised she can get any doctor to see her since the two of them made so much money using junk science to make millions suing and ruining doctors and driving up health care costs. He is the typical Liberal whine about health care or the environment while living a lifestyle that is the opposite of what they want us to.

[medley007]

Anyone Person who wishes these people Ill, are the people whom make our Nation weak, as they are. Hard work and intellect makes money,if you do not possess these skills,You will Be Poor in ALL Respects. Are you able to at least Be Nice? If So,things will change for the better. If Not You have/will Never even have lived. I belive in a Better Way

[CosmicTouch]

I think this hupala of Edwards, trying to matter of factly ride the back of his cancer ridden, mentally suffering wife, Elizabeth, (no matter what she says), into the WhiteHouse, is in poor taste. None of this should have been exposed to the world. It's no one's business but their's. And he can speak in terms of "WE" and what "WE" have gone through in the past, but "WE" didn't sufferer anything. Elizabeth did. She too controlled and too committed to....John.

[sanssome]

She is an excellent speaker - yes, she was a lawyer. Also, it's interesting to notice that she doesn't have his accent. I guess they grew up in different places.

[Suefoez]

John Edwards made gazillions of dollars suing doctors and using junk science and getting away with it. Good old southern boy, a man of the people with a 30,000 square foot house. I don't think so.

[milshorjon]

I am a huge Bush fan and life long Republican who completely admires this couple. I absolutely love Mrs. Edwards and wish her the very best.

[medley007]

He made himself through dilagegent,constant, deeply felt Passion..This The ONLY way one achives such things..I live here in NC and am a Republican, But I have never had more respect for a man..Know him, then make your judgement.Listen.Hear. Watch.Fell..and Gazillion is not a numeric stat.

[TheGManNYC]

These are two of the most courageous public figures of recent times. What a different Country this would be wiy John Edwards in The WhiteHouse

[oldrnwisr22]

It makes me afraid to think there are probably many more people out there like you - full of hate. You need to get some help.

[charbatch]

Edwards is disgusting. This is nothing more than a cheap political ploy by the Breck girl.

[WhatIsVickiPainting]

They need support.

[doespaluzziwork]

Elizabeth Edwards is a kind, genuine, woman of strength. It would be an honor to have her grace our country as First Lady beside John Edwards, who is of equal quality in his concern for his wife, and our country.

God Bless them, I know they will prevail.

[scottd38]

god will get you when you pretend to speak for fetuses, and grow rich from it...sadly the wrong one got it

[iammonicalewinsky]

wtf. "fa**ot?" "ni**er?" clearly someone is emotionally troubled and it's not "commie liberals." It's you.

[207Randy]

I am awed by their strength, courage and conviction in continuing with his campaign. His ability to speak in complete sentences aside - that he could completely focus on what needs to do in order to win his party's nomination, is inspiring. It means, to me anyway, that I'm completely comfortable with his "finger on the button!" I look forward to the current maniac in office leaving and John Edwards occupying the Office of the President with Elizabeth at his side. Best - 207Randy

[nailmaker]

Love of country, love of life, love of truth, love for one another. Love begets love. You have mine. Stay strong.

[LeslieAnne84]

Such a wonderful, strong couple. I admire the way they are handling this. My best wishes to both of them.

[eebruce]

From what I've heard, John, you talked to Elizabeth directly after your speech where you announced your Energy Independence / Global Warming plan, and asked if she would like you with her for the follow-up testing, and when she said yes, you went directly back to NC.

And while your plan is impressive, the two of you are even more impressive.

[Lethesunshine]

My prayers are with you and your family.

[pauldavies78]

This is the perfect example of something negative having a positive effect: John and Elizabeth were on the cover of every major newspaper today, for the first time in this election season. I hope the media continues to give this wonderful couple more attention now. Go Edwards '08!

[scottd38]

do you have a clue?

[pauldavies78]

You're view of a vengeful god is unrealistic to me (in response to your other comment). We can agree to disagree, or you can keep spewing hate. Edwards '08.

[tubeyouler1]

You two are so wonderful. I can't wait to say 'First Lady Elizabeth Edwards'. It WILL happen! Love you both.

[ShortbusMooner]

Thanx for BOTH of your perserverance! I never cease being amazed at BOTH of your intestinal fortitude! Such good people! I know you can BOTH make this a better world!

Peace & Best Wishes,

Teresa Nelson  :)

[Cannook]

God Bless you Both .  DianeMarie , Canada

[iammonicalewinsky]

gotta love this man.

[cristedin]

Yes,continue to be strong together!

[1dk2]

Total Respect!

I could not show such courage, they are truly a dedicated couple to each other and this country.

Thanks for your video

[1dk2]

Total Respect!

Thanks for your video

[zoobatmania1]

If y'all won't stop fighting, then neither will we.

[NCDem]

John and Elizabeth are such an inspiration. We are proud to stand with you and the campaign, which will "go on strongly!"

Thank You.

Amy & Richard

Edwards 2008!

[Belishabeacon1]
