So, is there a statute of limitations on adultery? If not, what is the difference between the two men's affairs?? At least Edwards stayed with Elizabeth.

Edwards & McCain
by Tracee Sioux on August 11th, 2008
My husband, Jeremy
:Did you hear about John Edwards?
Tracee: You mean his affair?
Jeremy: Yeah, I guess this means he’s out for Vice President.
Tracee: Why would he be out? John McCain cheated on his wife. He’s up for President.
Jeremy: There’s no way they’re going to pick Edwards now. He cheated on his wife. She has cancer.
Tracee: John McCain’s wife was permanently crippled after a terrible accident and she WAITED for him while he was a POW in the war and he cheated on her many times and then he left her and married a trophy bride one month after he divorced her. And no one seems to care or to think this would ever prevent him from being President.
Jeremy: But that was 30 years ago.
Tracee: So what? I’ve seen no indication that the guy has gone through some kind of awakening.
Jeremy: Don’t you think people should care that Edwards cheated on his wife who’s dying of cancer?
Tracee: Of course people should care. But if philandering disqualifies a candidate from one party, it should disqualify a candidate from the other party too. It’s a double standard. A double standard that seems to ironically only help the party that has held itself up with its “moral superiority†for the last decade. Until it’s their own guy and then it seems to be irrelevant.
