While Edwards has enjoyed a big surge in donations since he and his wife disclosed the return of her cancer, the campaign has not mentioned the "C" word in any of its fundraising solicitations. In fact, an e-mail sent to supporters on March 22, the day of their famous news conference, omitted the usual link to contribute money.

[Mustangman_2000]

it makes me sick to see you guys making an issue over elizabeth edwards and whether or not john edwards is exploiting her cancer diagnosis for campaign contributions and/or votes.

it's only natural that campaign donations will increase with a human interest story such as this regarding a high profile individual(presidential candidate). that's the way the cookie crumbles, folks. this exact same type of response would be happening for any other high profile candidate in the same situation i.e. republican, independent, democrat, etc.

if you believe otherwise you're not only naive, but just plain stupid.

elizabeth edwards prognosis is very poor and the odds are against her. she may not be here this time next year. so, go find a dark and quiet place, sit down, molt, and emerge human.

shut the fuck up.

I have an aunt and a grandmother that both died of cancer, both of whom I was very close to, and not once did they ask for pity or feel sorry for themselves. They didn't make a big deal about it, and when other people did make a big deal about it, both would tell it like it was, and move on.

This is milking. This is completely ridiculous. The edwards' are making their campaign off of a sickness, a disease that many other people in the world have. And most of those people need the money a lot more than a politician and his wife does. THey're doing just fine financially, while to the average person, the strain that cancer puts on them (physically, emotionally, and financially) is immense.

This disgusts me, and while I feel for her very much, making a public pity-call is just sad.

[Slowhand]

Visitors to the Edwards site who choose to "send a note to Elizabeth and John" are first taken to a heartfelt letter from the candidate that was written the day after he learned that his wife's cancer had returned. Edwards thanks readers for their "prayers and wishes," vows that he and Elizabeth will "keep a positive attitude always look for the silver lining" and declares that "our campaign goes on and it goes on strongly."

Anyone who then chooses to send a note of sympathy to the Edwardses -- and, thus, provide his or her e-mail address -- automatically becomes part of the Edwards campaign's online e-mail database, a list that is crucial to any campaign's ability to raise vast amounts of money over the Internet.


Right...that's not asking for it.

I wont play like we're in the 4th grade and tell you to "shut the fuck up", even tho it's tempting.

As people send their well wishes to her, their email address is logged in their database. Edwards campign folks doing their jobs and utilizing said database is generating $$$. That's their perogative, just like it would be "the other team's" perogative. You've seen political $$$ in action before and it wasn't a problem then.

I dont see anyone from the Edwards family asking for sympathy. I dont think Edwards dosed his wife with cancer to make campaign money. I dont think people are contributing to Edwards campaign if they dont want to.

The only opportunity I see here is one for people like you to try and make Edwards seem like some sort of sinister shitass while he's watching his wife die. That's a false read and anouncement on your part. I've been married 30 years and I think he feels the same about his wife as I do mine. I've had to date, 17 close relatives die of cancer and none of them (with the exception of 1 whiner) wanted sympathy or made a big deal about it either. What's your point?

According to you I guess we can go ahead and bury all decency along side integrity, honesty, compassion, kindness, survival instinct, etc. etc...

I dont know that I'll vote for Edwards but I can respect the man and have tremendous sympathy for what his family is, and is about to go through.
Who you respect is something that deserves much consideration.

[jyro]

all that fame and fortune John Edwards made off birth defect babys, while putting so many pediatricians out of business because of their insurance costs, is biting him in the ass.

I'm not the only one thinking this: http://www.kstatecollegian.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticlePrinterFriendly&uStory_id=c74bd3ed-9352-47c0-bca4-a038d1ec5d31

"Presidential hopeful John Edwards acquired his wealth by targeting doctors in frivolous malpractice lawsuits. But it seems actions of the past have come full circle.
John Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, announced the breast cancer for which she was treated during the 2004 election has returned and metastasized to her bones.
The odds of her survival are slim, and I do not celebrate this news. However, I find it ironic the Edwards family needs the industry John worked hard to undermine throughout his career as a trial attorney and through his new universal health care plan.
Prior to his term as a senator, John Edwards made millions driving doctors into bankruptcy.
In one of his greatest acting roles, Edwards convinced a jury in 1997 that a stillborn child by the name of Bailey Griffin was speaking through him.
He explained to the jury the little girl told him how much pain she was in and how the doctor should have performed a Cesarean section sooner to prevent her death.
Complications from cerebral palsy caused this child's death. The American Academy of Pediatrics says cerebral palsy develops long before the birth of the child and is rarely the responsibility of a doctor.
The Griffin case resulted in a $23 million settlement."
Increased costs in the medical field have a direct correlation to the increased cost in medical malpractice insurance. In Edwards' home state, rural doctors are forced to close their practices due to insurance costs.

"Dr. Craig VanDerVeer, a Charlotte, N.C., neurosurgeon, told the Washington Times, "The John Edwards we know crushed obstetrics gynecology and neurosurgery in North Carolina. As a result, thousands of patients lost their health care."

[Denny]

she has not asked for anyone's pity.

No, John Edwards parading her around in front of the news to announce her condition wasn't meant for anything. :rolleyes: Get fucking real. I'd call the same bullshit if it was ANY candidate or spouse.

Oh STFU with your holier-than-thou crap. If a Republican did the same thing, you would be all over him calling him all kinds of terrible things. If you say you wouldn't, you are a liar.

I would gladly wish them well for her recovery, but then to put me on their mailing list after they went public with the news, that is barely defensible. They should have sent out emails asking for donations to the American Cancer Society, not his personal Presidential campaign.

Man.... black01gt, and Mustangman2000 are two HUGE hypocrites!

First off, while I neither do or do not believe that Edwards is milking the cancer issue, he and his campaign staff HAD to have known that it would help his campaign. I don't believe it was intentional, but it's common sense that the announcement would only help him.

As I said though, you two are hypocrites! None of the things that they're accusing John Edwards of doing are any worse than what you all ROUTINELY accuse the President of doing. Infact, even insinuating that the President lied inorder to go to war is a thousand times WORSE than what they're accusing John Edwards of doing!

hey, demon boy from coppell.

you usually give sympathy cards to people who have just been diagnosed with a potentially fatal disease.

people usually express good wishes and prayers. it's called human platitudes and common decency.

"Presidential hopeful John Edwards acquired his wealth by targeting doctors in frivolous malpractice lawsuits

Cancer sucks. I've lost a few family members to it and I personally run a high risk of it due to genetics. Sounds like she has a poor prognosis, and i'm sad for that.

I remember when this info first came around on edward's first run at the office. I haven't personally verified the claims made then or now about his activities, but I can say that he sure seems the slick lawyer type.

If he has been profiting from friviolus lawsuits against doctors then in some ways this sure does seem like kharma rolling around.

And we know just how valuable that contact information is in real dollars; profiled and scam-free contacts go for about a buck per, maybe more in this case.

Elizabeth Edwards says she is scared of the "rabid, rabid Republican" who owns property across the street from her Orange County home -- and she doesn't want her kids going near the gun-toting neighbor.

Republican Fred Thompson, the actor-politician who is considering a bid for president, said Wednesday he has lymphoma, a form of cancer.

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8OEEK100&show_article=1

[Casper]

It was already broken, this sounds more like a statement to refute any questions about his ability to take on the job. Like McCain's statements earlier.

We'll see, if he holds a news conference just to say that there is no news for the conference, and sets up a direct mail database on the preface of well-wisher emails, then yeah, I'd say so. So far it doesn't look like it.

Maybe he can go badmouth his neighbors.

Because the controversy with the "leak" and the "news conference with no news" started much earlier.

Notice how McCain handled it; he basically called it a non-issue related to his fitness and otherwise a private matter.

Looks like Thompson did essentially the same thing.

Neither one milked it with a direct-mail marketing engine, a news conference, prime-time free coverage all weekend, etc. Edwards did.

So far, McCain and Thompson have done it correctly. They addressed it and it was droppped. If they solicit for money anyhwere related to their health issue, then they are wrong like Edwards is.

"I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people," Mr. Johnson said. "But does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn't speak to me."
At HotAir.com, Bryan Preston remarked: "The Edwards family: They're all about the little guy, even when they're complaining about him in the press and driving him out of his home."

I've never argued a point on Bush policies by saying he's an alcoholic coke user. It's irrelevant today, unless he starts saying something like "alcoholics deserve the death penalty".... kinda like Rush said about drugs before he got caught.

But who has the right to attack him? We can't know the dynamics of their lives, marraige, and struggles. We don't know how individuals deal with these kind of things.
