Remember John Edwards?

Senator
This, via ABC News:



A key aide to John Edwards asked a elderly philanthropist to mortgage her home to bankroll a poverty foundation for Edwards after it was clear that his presidential ambitions were crushed, a witness testified today.

Bryan Huffman, an interior designer and confidante of Rachel "Bunny" Mellon, told the court that after giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to Edwards, she felt she was being taken advantage of when Edwards' aide Andrew Young asked for another $40 million to $50 million.

Young suggested Mellon, who was 97 at the time, could mortgage her Virginia home for the money.

"I can't believe the senator wanted me for my money," Mellon told Huffman, according to his testimony.

Because there are two Americas: the haves and have-nots. And the haves need to become have-nots by giving what they have to guys like John Edwards.
 
Of course all he wanted her for was her money. Wonder how she ever got the idea it was anything else?

Pretty much the story of anybody working class or middle class....who donates to Romney.

I have no knowledge of anyone in Romney's campaign asking someone to mortgage their house. If you know of such a story, you should bring it to light immediately.


Romney is rich though. He's got John Kerry, Kennedy-like money. Must be a Massachusetts thing.

Actually it is a Massachusetts thing - and a NY thing and a CA thing and a WA thing. Blue states create the majority of creative wealth in the nation. And average way above average on per capita GDP creation.

As for the campaign - the issue isn't relevant as to Romney, since Edwards didn't get the nomination. Its more like asking whether or not Gingrich ever discussed divorce settlements with his wife recovering from cancer surgery, or if Cain ever asked for "quid pro quo" favors from someone he was arranging a job for....

Imagine her shock at the notion of a politician wanting to bleed her dry.

97 years old and as gullible as a newborn.
 
No, wasn't he the son of a mill worker... :frusty:.......

I never understood the appeal of John Edwards, I never once believed a word the man said and found him to be one of the fakest most insincere politicians in my lifetime. Then I was amazed by the people who were shocked when he turned out to be exactly what I always thought he was.........a lying sack of shit.

I would have voted for his wife, after hearing her speak I never once did not think that "the wrong one is running for office".

Oh, I just meant that such a donor would be paying to see themselves screwed if Romney was elected.

BTW, you'll notice after all the love for Newt Gingrich...attacks on Edwards for being a guy who "left his cancer-stricken wife for a floozy"....decreased significantly.

I on the other hand think the sum-bitch should be given hard time in a Max facility....for both Elizabeth and risking the country by possibly getting the Dem nomination and his sleaziness coming out during the campaign.
 
Liz knew all about this affair, yet, it didn't stop her from standing beside JE in hopes of being First Lady.....

Two peas in a pod.............evidently........

trial is a waste of taxpayers $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Remember John Edwards?

yeah, we threw him overboard.

repubs should try that sometime with your own creeps.
 
At firrst I thought he had a pretty good line....but there was always something that I couldn't put my finger on directly that bothered me about him. Every time I looked at him all I could think of was the Ken Doll from the Barbie collection.
