Disingenuous John [Edwards] Didn't Fool Me
Some people were
surprised when John Edwards and his mistress were outed by The National Enquirer a few years ago. Not me. In early 2008, I had
a tug-of-war in my mind whether to vote for Edwards or Obama in the Massachusetts
primary. I volunteered at the debates in New Hampshire, so I had the
opportunity to hear all the Democrat candidates and at the same time study
their style, to see just who had grace under pressure. I also researched the
candidates and their positions on issues that mattered to me.
One glaring fact
about Edwards jumped out at me: His house was 28,200 square feet! That’s more
than 14,000 times the square footage of my house! (At 1800 square feet, my
space is more than ample.) I decided that anyone who had a home that huge was
out of touch with me and certainly almost every voter in the United States,
Democrat or not. My vote went to Barack Obama.
A few years later,
finding out about Edwards and his unwholesome (to put it mildly) activities, I
was relieved that he didn’t get my vote. He was so much more than out of touch:
His obvious belief of his personal entitlement extended beyond living space and
into living arrangements. What a disappointment for those Americans who were
fooled by him. I am happy I wasn’t one of them.
