Our governments exist entirely of too many legal predators and not enough civil leaders, especially the bigger government entities.

No Terrye, WWS (below) coined the Liberal Democrat mindset correctly”
“You gotta remember most liberalâ€™s definitions of â€œgoodâ€ and â€œevilâ€.

I am good, therefore anything I do is good.

My opponents oppose me because I am good and they are evil, therefore everything they do is evil. They should be trapped and punished any way possible, because they are evil

â€œLawsâ€ are things that the good people (me) use to trap the bad people â€œthemâ€ but of course no one should think they apply to me, because I am good. My college also taught me that life is all about happiness and following my â€œpersonal lifestyle choicesâ€ and itâ€™s silly to expect some old words on old paper to stand in the way of my self-empowerment.”

Although some Republicans think this way as well, predominently Demorats all think this way. Not just elected ones, people who elect them! The end-result of this kind of thinking (especially in a position of power) is always misery and chaos for as many people as possible. That is why liberals and liberalism must be defeated, Not ‘reasoned’ with, because they are not ‘reasonable’ people and never will be until they are made to pay for the consequences of their ‘superior’ thinking.

I don’t think this is about the man’s politics, it is a question of character. The fact that he is a Democrat is embarrassing to his party and all that, but the truth is both parties have had people doing some things they should have known better than to do. It never ceases to amaze me how someone with everything going for them can so royally screw themselves up like this.

I only note that all the usual suspects on the left are already starting with the ‘hey it’s just sex’ story line and how it should just be passed by.

Funny how long have they been repeating Larry Craig as a story, ministers getting gay massage and whatever else.

But let it be one of theirs and all is to be forgiven.

Double standard and hypocrites all.

Like I said…he’ll end up with his own wing at the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor.

Gotta give credit to Greta van S. tonite, she made a very good observation tonite as a former defense attorney. Spitzer could easily be looking at multiple charges, and he doesn’t want a trial – prosecutors (just like him) will almost always accept some kind of plea deal as long as they get their scalp on the wall. The only question is what kind of plea deal does he make, and the governor’s office is now a bargaining chip. No sense giving it up without some kind of consideration for the move, and no doubt those are the kinds of negotiations that will be taking place this week.

On Spitzer, fom a Kos Klown:

My theory
is that the Bush administration caught this through their wiretaps of Democratic politicians. Yes, tinfoil hat territory, but I’m throwing it out there.

That said, if these allegations are true, Spitzer has to resign.

Spitzer has been a disgrace since he got to Albany. His office remains embroiled in one scandal after another. He’s another one as well, that liked to shake his finger at people. Goes hard on them when they get caught. His approval rating is in the dumps. Even the democrats don’t want him. There was talk of having him impeached even before this latest one broke. But, mostly, these people will never step down…you have to drag them out kicking and screaming.

WWS,
I’ll agree with you on that one!

See why it never occurred to Elliot that he was doing anything wrong?

AJ,
Pretty sad commentary on our disintegrating society. I can’t ever imagine becoming corrupt regardless of how much power I had.
