    TJ posted a picture of Edwards endorsing Obama
    Batman then responded about Bush and McCain

    But this isn't about Obama or McCain

    What I want to know is if it's true that Edwards paid "hush" money to keep this quiet, How did Edwards pay for it? Did he use campaign money? This probably wont and shouldn't have an impact on the election but you can forget about Edwards being in politics again.

    The abc report mentioned his campaign paying her 114k for a job she wasn't qualified for.

    Supposedly Hunter is receiving $15K a month in hush money via a rich friend of Edwards.

    Now why would he be paying $15K if it's not his kid?

    Edwards is FILTHY rich, he wouldn't need to access campaign funds to cover up his mistake.

    Using campaign funds to keep her quiet, While it may not be illegal, sounds shady to me. Yet he won't admit it's his kid? I bet Hunter has no choice but go to a judge and order a paternity test.

    I would, but TJ's a democrat. He declared his party affiliation by voting for Clinton in the primary.

    She made $114K from his campaign. She was given a job that she didn't qualify for. That sure sounds like "hush" money to me.

    Yes you are. You shouldn't be so ashamed of it. Oh, wait a minute, yes you should.

    McCain came into this thread when George posted this:

    Being that he is a partisan troll, I felt compelled to point out that McCain had done pretty much the exact same thing.

    Where either Edwards or McCain is concerned, I agree it was an awful betrayal.

    When did McCain have a love child? When did McCain lie about an affair during a presidential election? When did McCain deny having a love child?

    Pretty bad, but there have been so many examples of poor moral behavior on both sides of the aisle that I doubt much political hay can be made out of it, if any.

    Well, he's lied about that old affair during this election, saying it didn't happen until he was divorced. I disagree with you that having a child is an important sin here. I think the bad act was having the affair. Any child that might have come from it doesn't make the bad sin of cheating and lying worse IMO.

    Both Edwards and McCain did the dishonorable thing of cheating on their wives when they were in very poor health. But I only brought up McCain in this thread because George insisted on gloating about it and he's a McCain partisan troll.

    I agree with you that this thread should mostly be devoted to saying what Oski just did:

    Shame on you Edwards.
