Another Republican involved in a sex scandal. Elliot Spitzer.

[rayboyusmc]

If proven guilty, punish him.

Let's not live down to the right wing standards where a Republican used hookers and didn't resign, or Craig from Idaho, ho, ho.

Mark Foley was forced out by the right wing, not the left. They wanted nothing to do with an admitted pedophile.

The closet ones are okay however.

 

[Shogun]

if he is really was screwing hookers while padding his political resume with busting prostitution rings it is a GIANT bowl of hypocrisies.

 

[mattskramer]

I guess I'll have to translate my above post for you.

(1) The two party system props up those who are hypocritical.

(2) Anyone who continues to vote for a major party candidate, is by definition, upholding the two party system.

(3) You support a major party candidate

(4) Therefore, you are sustaining the system that continues to allow hypocrites to gain power for personal gain.

I know that no one is perfect. There are several “third parties”. Candidates within those parties are probably hypocrites too. There is perhaps no way to avoid voting for a hypocrite or someone with such a lack of character. Anyway, thanks for clarifying your point.

It seems that Spitzer used at least one alias when conducting business with the "escort" service. He used the name "George Fox." As it turns out, the real George Fox has been a friend and supporter of Spitzer's for over twenty years.

What a pal Eliot is. With friends like that...

'So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. When they persisted, saying, What sayest thou ? he said what was an awful rebuke. They knew that he knew their lives, that they were as guilty as the woman they had brought. They forgot the demand of Moses that the witnesses should cast the first stone (De 17:5-7), and his answer was like a bolt of lightning. Covered with shame, when he stooped and wrote again, they went out one by one.'

 

[rayboyusmc]

Then they cast stones, now they cast feces. And when found out, they deny it.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

You mean the pedophile??

Why should he? Big deal, he went to a hooker... so what. It's not like he's spent his career on a crusade against prostitution.

Amazing that you guys still don't understand the difference.

That said, what a stupid thing for him to get involved in.

I guess you missed the part about stealing Money?

 

[rayboyusmc]

Wait, didn't Craig build his career on attacking gays?

Maybe he and Spitzer and the other Repubican Senator Hooker user could share a cell. The Three Cabelleros.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Eff all the Spitzers, Vitters, Clintons, Craigs, Franks, Foleys who submit the public office to their slime ridden sexual fantasies.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Clinton set the bar, this guy knows it and is the same party. He knows his party won't demand anything from him. And he probably thinks he can beat the theft issue.

Seems to me your 2nd paragraph contradicts your 3rd one. Just slinging baseless, partisan mud, as usual.

If you applied that same standard to yourself and all the shit you sling about Bush, you'd have about 3-4 total posts on this board.

What an idiot Spitzer is...

I hope he doesn't think anyone is going to show him mercy.

Link please?

Spitzer is going to resign most likely. Oh wait, guess your bullshit accusations are going to be proven false (again). This time perhaps will you reserve judgement before spewing lies?

Shall I read the story to you? They found him out because he moved money illegally to buy his hooker.

Further the story states he is considering NOT resigning and remaining in OFFICE.

I guess you can not read ehh?

Here we go...

read it and weep.

Original story.

where is there anything about theft? I don't see anything in any article that suggests that Spitzer stole any money from anyone.

I will agree that that may be incorrect but it does not change the fact he BROKE the law, he violated the very laws he enforced. Further he should have known his actions would raise concerns as HE used the very tactics he was caught by to break up Prostitution rings.

Go ahead now and pretend that because it was JUST prostitution that made it ok. I mean you dems claimed Clinton's crime was all about sex, I do not doubt you will stoop to the same bullshit again.

I only point out that you made a false statement. I offer no support for Spitzer whatsoever.

I understand the difference between consensual sex and buying sex.

 

[Larkinn]

No, he didn't.

Further the story states he is considering NOT resigning and remaining in OFFICE.

Cause the story knows what he is thinking, eh? Want me to get you stories that say he is considering resigning? The conventional wisdom is that he must resign.

I guess you can not read ehh?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I will agree that that [that being the theft by Spitzer]may be incorrect

Its you who can't read, boyo.

but it does not change the fact he BROKE the law, he violated the very laws he enforced.

Yes he did. He violated laws against soliciting prostitutes, he did NOT steal the money, NOR did he acquire the money illegally.

Go ahead now and pretend that because it was JUST prostitution that made it ok. I mean you dems claimed Clinton's crime was all about sex, I do not doubt you will stoop to the same bullshit again.

tsk tsk...your caught lying and now you go on the attack. How boringly predictable.
