Report: Former Presidential Candidate John Edwards Faces Indictment for Campaign Violations

Published May 25, 2011 | NewsCore

WASHINGTON -- Prosecutors can seek an indictment against former North Carolina Senator and two-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards for allegedly using campaign donations to cover up an extra-marital affair and love child, ABC News reported late Tuesday.

The network, citing sources, said the Department of Justice has given the go-ahead for Edwards to be prosecuted and the former politician has been informed of the development.

Edwards may now accept a plea deal or face trial.

” It’s my magnetic personality, right? My charm? My charisma? My humility and modesty -”

Well, I’m not so sure about the humility & modesty........

Mark Twain wrote well to. I still can’t get this outta my head..........................................

VERSE Conductor, when you receive a fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare,
A buff trip slip for a six-cent fare,
A pink trip slip for a three-cent fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
CHORUS Punch, brothers! punch with care!
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!

I always like Kipling’s work too. Especially “If”. Liberals, of course, HATE it, because it’s about manhood. And their idea of manhood is a world removed from reality.

Kipling’s “If”
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
‘ Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!

And then there’s the Kipling poem that REALLY makes Liberal heads explode (hmmmm....lib heads exploding...nice imagery...pause and reflect for a moment on that happy thought)...

“The White Man’s Burden”

Take up the White Man’s burden—
Send forth the best ye breed—
Go send your sons to exile
To serve your captives’ need
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild—
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child
Take up the White Man’s burden
In patience to abide
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple
An hundred times made plain
To seek another’s profit
And work another’s gain
Take up the White Man’s burden—
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better
The hate of those ye guard—
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah slowly) to the light:
“Why brought ye us from bondage,
“Our loved Egyptian night?”
Take up the White Man’s burden-
Have done with childish days-
The lightly proffered laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!

good stuff all around on this thread gents...

as haledude said, they think we're the enemy, and regard us as less than animals, and treat us accordingly...i have no sympathy for the the lil breckgirl, and also dont/didnt 'feel' anything for his powerhungry and greedy skank whore wife...

just like fat-dead-ted or edward, or whatever the hell the commie scum liked to be called, theyre all shades of ole 'Longshanks' as they truly live to dominate and rape & pillage...

i dont hold much hope that johhny will ever do the first day though...the thought that he might be Bubbas 'love sponge' is heartnening anyways...

maybe monica can send him a blue dress, and they can draw boobies on the back too...

From # 29:

But it is not the only legal trouble he faces. A former aide, Andrew Young, says he has a videotape and pictures showing Mr. Edwards and Ms. Hunter having sex. Ms. Hunter has sued to get them back and said that Mr. Young used them to secure deals for a book and film. Mr. Young had pretended for a while to be the child’s father to protect Mr. Edwards. He wrote about the experience in a tell-all book, “The Politician.”

Mr. Young is being represented in Hollywood by Ari Emanuel, brother of Rahm Emanuel, the new mayor of Chicago.

It is purely coincidental that every thing always seems to get back to the same circle of people.....just amazing.
