Anyone know what happened to their son?
Car accident, 1996.
They did not make the decision I hope I would make in the same situation. I would choose time with family - esp. those children - while their mom is still fairly able bodied. Running for President is more than a full time job. I hear what they said about John wanting to serve his country, but I think serving his family should be first at this time.
That's another issue altogether. It really doesn't matter...because he doesn't have a chance in hell of even winning the nomination, so all of this is just mental masturbation.
Really? She actually said, "words fail me?"
He should spend 100% of his time caring for his sick wife and his young children.
He's more concerned about getting power than his loved ones.
..I'm off to bed.
More me now.
The Oprah/View crowd must be swooning....
Several years? Maybe referring to the aftermath of the older childs death, but struck me as strange.
I shall refrain from commenting further on their motives or actions. They are facing a tough go.
Couric is typically nauseating, however.
I doubt that. When your husband abandons you when you have terminal cancer, it strikes a negative chord with most women.
So simple even a CBS news reader can do it..
"I hear what they said about John wanting to serve his country, but I think serving his family should be first at this time."
Exactly. While I have no love for this Doofus, and wouldn't vote him in as my local Dog Catcher, if I were to plan a 'political strategy' for myself were I in his shoes, it would be this:
1. Step out of the 2008 race and care for my wife and kids.
2. Adjust to being a widower with the kids coming first above all.
3. After the kids are grown, or he remarries and they again have a stable "Mom" in their life then...
4. Renew my political career.
Good Lord. It's not like the guy "needs" to work. And it's not like the country can't survive without him. A one-term Senator? A failed VP bid? John? No. One. Wants. You. Stay home where you belong.
Do we want a man like this serving as President? One who can't even set priorities for himself, let alone a nation? Yikes!
I don't think this guy sees any further ahead than the current reflection in his compact mirror while he checks his hair. *Rolleyes* Me, me, me, me, ME!
And it's not like the country can't survive without him.
Really, I'd like to let Mr Edwards know that this country does not need him that badly. He really has an ego! The best thing for this country is for families to take care of each other especially in hard times such as when a spouse has an incurable illness or when you have a 6 and 8 year old who really are not able to fully support themselves no matter how much you try to make yourself believe it.
We all care and pray about people who are sick...but we do not obsess with strangers...however the husband in this case is the darling of the left. So we need to be force fed this garbage.
He makes me beyond ill. "Can she campaign?" Oh my GOD.
Poor Elizabeth.
It is quite foolish to believe you can campaign with Stage IV cancer (and that is her stage) and do chemo and radiation. Believe me I know.
WRONG! He's going to be away whether he wins or not...
