John Edwards has probably done a great deal of harm to his own family first, and then to his own political career as well. I was surprised to his replies when he was asked why?
He simply said that he had started feeling very special (and powerful) since he had gotten so much attention while running his campaign and getting the bright light treatment. I couldn't help but notice how much information that his response to the interviewer gave the general public. Actually bringing ideas of the movie "Absolute Power" as I tried to contrast his words actually boiling them down to the same reasons that Clinton had recounted, "just because I could."
What if he had made it to become the President of the United States and we had not known ahead of time about his ultra ego? What might he have done in secret just because he could? Now, that is a scarey thought!
Americans really need to know the next President and know how they will do when they are not being scripted. What is their past ideals that they will want to bring to this newly changing era? Do we want the same changes? Can the President himself do it alone without the aid of the Congress? Will this President allow a one party Congress spend all that they can force us to pay taxes on? Who will benefit from his changes? Will it be the people who actually pay the taxes or people who jump borders and find a new president who wants to change the way we accept extra burdens as taxpayers for the extra people among us? Will lower wages and inflation cause our country to split into only two groups, the educated and the poor? How will the lower class be treated then? How will the poor educate their children?
Edwards made his bed and now he has to lay in it. Perhaps he will be an attorney again afterall.
