I grew up in Michigan, in the 60s and 70s.

I’m still wondering if Liz really has terminal cancer, or if that was just a campaign ploy to drum up sympathy for the candidacy. She looks just the same now as she did 3 years ago.

Normally you would think this was impossible. But with these folks... who knows? Time will tell.

“I’m still wondering if Liz really has terminal cancer, or if that was just a campaign ploy to drum up sympathy for the candidacy. She looks just the same now as she did 3 years ago.”-Dewey Revoltnow

“I’ve been wondering the same thing myself, even when she first announced it, I thought the timing was suspicious.”-dfwgator

I found this and posted it yesterday when another poster wondered the same thing.

Edwards: Cancer ‘no longer curable’
POSTED: 10:32 p.m. EDT, March 22, 2007

Excerpt from the article linked below-

“On Thursday, her doctor, Lisa Carey of the University of North Carolina Medical Center, described Edwards’ condition as Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, meaning the cancer has spread beyond her breast and lymph nodes. In addition to the spot on her rib, there may be other areas of cancer, the doctor said. She specifically mentioned “very small” abnormalities in the lung that are “too small to say what’s going on there.” (Metastatic breast cancer Q&A )

The doctor said Elizabeth Edwards’ treatment hadn’t been determined, pending more test results. It could include hormone therapy or chemotherapy. Stage IV breast cancer is considered a systemic disease, meaning it is no longer contained in one area but is throughout the body. Surgery isn’t usually considered effective because it will remove cancer cells only from one area, but the cancer is more likely located in other places.

Reliable survival rates for breast cancer that has spread aren’t available. Five years after a first diagnosis of breast cancer, 88 percent of women are still alive.”

I’m feeling guilty again. It’s so tempting to make fun of these rich, narcissistic morons. Should not forget the Edwards’ children who are stuck with the sins of their father.

God have mercy on his soul.

"'My wife is my moral leader?'" Hunter says, mimicking Edwards. "We're all going to hell."

THAT is the quote of the whole story!

Rosanne Barr would make a good EE. I saw on a show where some women mistook Supreme Sotomayor for Rosanne Barr.

I read Elizabeth E. is threatening to sue Andrew Young for breaking up her marriage. Shouldn't she be going after Rielle H. first?

Candy Crowly - LMAO. If not, I think the Bears should recruit her to shore up their linebacking crew.

What was the meaning of it all, to the perfectly coiffed candidate Edwards: Power and Ego. Those two things brought him down. If he really put his family first none of this would have happened.

“’My wife is my moral leader?’” Hunter says, mimicking Edwards. “We’re all going to hell.”

She then says she has to go because David Axelrod is on.

“Every time Rielle would see the senator discuss his love for Elizabeth on TV and about her cancer, Rielle would get extremely upset and threaten to go public,” Young told Fox News.
