I don’t understand why the left threw him under the bus. When clinton did the same stuff he was defended like nuts. In fact it seemed to boost his standing with them.

Simple - Clinton was in power, Edwards isn't and won't ever be again.

Two reasons:

1. Clinton was a "charming rogue", Edwards was an "a__hole".

2. Clinton was a "winner", Edwards was a "loser".

That is an interesting question, isn't it?

Perhaps it was because Clinton was in office; he had the power. Remember "those are are planes now" ?

If Edwards had gotten the Presidency, they might well close ranks around him, destroy Rielle, come up with more studies about how African Bonobos build stable social groups even with rampant infidelity, we should be more like Bonobos, etc., etc.

Unfortunately, he didn't catch the brass ring, so he road kill. Too bad John.

How do you throw a person under a bus? Is the bus moving at the time the person is thrown under it? What type of bus is it? A school bus? A Greyhound bus? A city transit bus? Please explain.

They went after him because he was a threat to their man Obama.

Obama is the complete package they wanted, Edwards was not going to implement the socialist takeover of their dreams (or not as fast as obambi)

Wasn’t there a Freeper here who said he met Obama years before and Obama told him he was going to be president next? (freeper Race Bannon?)

“he was defended like nuts. In fact it seemed to boost his standing with them.”

I figure he got “Lewinski’s” from more than one Lewinski. That would explain this apparent anomaly!/s;)

They wanted Obambi in . . . not John Edwards . . . Edwards had no principles and stood for nothing . . . kinda' like Clinton. Obambi stood for total destruction of our Constitution, the economy, and anything good about our country.

Edwards, Romney, Huckabee, Boehner . . . they all remind me of males versions of Stepford Wives, you know, from Central Casting. Worthless, mindless, kinda' decent looking.

But Obambi is "black," radical, communistic, totally unpatriotic, and anti-American.

Because Edwards was married to the “sainted” Elizabeth Edwardsd who was dying of cancer and Clinton was, well, married to Hillary...

Good question. Answer: to distract from stories about Zero’s faggotry.

Elizabeth evoked a lot more sympathy as a victim that did Hillary.
