Betty has been reading the tell all book about John Edwards and she is appalled but I think pick any politician and write the truth about their lives and we would all be sickened by the book.
truth be told that is the case of most people whether they are in politics or just your johnny come lately or Joe six pack.
We had a field day With Sarah Palin and her life but I think that is because she isn't smart enough to hide the truth from us. It is possible that Sarah Palin may be one of the best we had in the field last year at least we probably know most of her faults.
I have thought about why this is the truth and I have decided if a man gains all he needs in food, shelter and other necessities he begins to cast his eye about for something to occupy his time since man has a sinful nature he turns to sin. The more time he has the greater the sins.
God said man should earn his living by sweat and when he stops sweating he gets into trouble.

Elizabeth Edwards was just as bad or worse than John...do you remember the story of John the Baptist. Salome wanted his head brought to her on the platter! Herod really did not want to cut John's head off but that is what the wife wanted. Similar tale to John and Elizabeth Edwards. Filthy lives indeed. Nothing much has changed in the world in the 2000 years since the tale below was carried out! Same folks in power.
The biblical account portrays the beheading of Saint John the Baptist by Herod Antipas.[1] According to the Synoptic Gospels, Herod had imprisoned John because he reproved Herod for divorcing his wife (Phasaelis), and unlawfully taking his brother Herod Philip I's wife, Herodias. On Herod's birthday, Herodias' daughter (traditionally named Salome) danced before the king and his guests. Her dancing pleased Herod so much that in his drunkenness he promised to give her anything she desired, up to half of his kingdom. When the daughter asked her mother what she should request, she was told to ask for the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Although Herod was appalled by the request, he reluctantly agreed and had John executed in the prison.
The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus also relates in his Antiquities of the Jews that Herod killed John, stating that he did so, "lest the great influence John had over the people might put it into his [John's] power and inclination to raise a rebellion, (for they seemed ready to do any thing he should advise), [so Herod] thought it best [to put] him to death." He further states that many of the Jews believed that the military disaster which fell upon Herod at the hands of Aretas his father-in-law (Phasaelis' father), was God's punishment for his unrighteous behaviour
