Can you guys do anymore to bring your own party down. First it was Bush and his Male Prostitue parading around the white house. Then it was that other republican who liked to fondle little boys (I forget that guys name) now this. Pretty funny if you ask me. At least Clinton didn't pay for it. Well, in hindsight I guess he did but you know what I mean.

T-Bor, your such a hack.

He's a fucking Democrat.

LOL! Not only is he a Democrat, but he's a very, very partisan and liberal Democrat!

This is another example of liberal hypocrisy.

It's getting to the point where we can no longer trust any ethics reform proposals for our public servants which come from a member of a major political party.

Freaking hilarious, HE'S a liberal of liberals. Let's see if he resigns like Foley did.

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.

He might pull the Larry Craig strategy by fighting and delaying his resignation.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20467347/

Craig at first tried to hold on to his position, contending in a public appearance on Tuesday that he had done nothing inappropriate and that his only mistake was pleading guilty Aug. 1 to the misdemeanor charge. But a growing chorus of leading GOP leaders called for him to step down to spare the party further embarrassment and possible harm in next year’s elections.

He's not even close to a closet Republican, and to suggest so shows a ignorance of politics and a lack of intelligence.

He's prosecuted no less than 2 separate prostitution rings.

As a prosecutor? I'm sure the organized crime bureau prosecuted a lot of things. But that isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about gays and pedophiles who engage in the very behavior that they use to get votes from people. Plus, I couldn't confirm that with any reputable cite. Wouldn't shock me, though.

Doesn't matter in any event, I just read that CBS and Fox are reporting he's going to resign tonight...

Now, that REALLY sucks... Patterson as governor of NY?? This is not going to be good.

 

[mattskramer]

I wonder what the comparative rations are between hypocrisy among Democrats and hypocrisy among Republicans.

 

[JeffWartman]

I wonder what the comparative rations are between hypocrisy among Democrats and hypocrisy among Republicans.

If you take the two party system as a whole, it approached 1:1.

However, people who enable the system, like you, are the essence of the problem.

 

[T-Bor]

Is he...awww shucks.. Oh well. I wish I was involved then, can never get enough pussy.

T-Bor, your such a hack.

He's a fucking Democrat.

Maybe because it's a disgrace to the constituents that he represents?

Where have I been hypocritical?

 

[JeffWartman]

Where have I been hypocritical?

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.

Jeez, here I thought all the conservatives would be praising a man who supported the oldest profession. No taxes paid ain't that great! You know, all that entrepreneurial stuff and free market blather.

Paglia does a good job of summing up my own beliefs, however, your intellectual dishonesty misses a critical point; it's was Eliot Spitzer, the crusader for "clean government" and went out of his way to portray himself as a "family man".

Nothing more than typical, politics as usual. He is a hypocrite, a liar, and a fraud.

Why support something like this? It's illegal, could have ties to organized crime and completely arrogant in the face of his constituents. He should resign immediately.

I have a hard time getting overly self righteous over this sort of stuff given the behavior that is really criminal. He is a hypocrite who injured himself and his family but white collar criminals who hurt innocent people, polluters who ruin the earth, fraudulent businesses that rip off people, scams that created the housing situations, these get scant publicity while sex scandals receive incredible publicity.
