============================
 JB> Spitzer's situation is interesting in my eyes, simply because he's a
 JB> Democrat. The news has been so full of Republicans over the last several
 JB> months/years always doing wrong, involved in some kind of corruption,
 JB> child molestions, playing footsy in the bathroom stall, etc.  It's really
 JB> not often we see a Democrat getting in trouble.  Personally I think that's
 JB> telling of the parties in general.

Rotten apples exists everywhere.

 JB> While I'm not going to say the Democratic party is full of swell guys who
 JB> are only out for what the people want, I personally see the Republican
 JB> party as having strayed way far away from the conservative values they
 JB> claim to represent, to the point that it's practically a criminal group.

It's the same with the socialist party in Sweden. The former PM, Göran Persson,
did what Spitzer have done. He was against all of what he's doing now himself
after he was voted out as PM. Hypocrits. Bloody *ucking hypocrits.

 JB> I look at core conservative values and sometimes see some sense behind
 JB> them, and at times, I might even agree with parts of them.

Same here.

 JB> But when I
 JB> look at the Republican party, I don't see much of any of that.  They
 JB> aren't for small government. They aren't for low taxes.  And while the
 JB> bible arguably shouldn't affect government decisions, the fact that so
 JB> many Republicans claim to follow religion, only later to be caught with
 JB> their pants down (sometimes quite literally) doing something illegal and
 JB> sinful, only manages to make them look like huge hypocrites.  Many of them
 JB> only pretend to be religious to sucker in the traditional
 JB> conservative/religous crowd, which is pretty low of them.

A fanatic politician is the worst that can happend and then combined with a
fanatic
religious opinion......my my.

 JB> Worse yet, look at the election fraud.  If the 2000 election in general
 JB> wasn't fishy enough for most, we've had Republicans actually arrested for
 JB> tampering with voting machines.  In more than one of the recent elections,
 JB> even.

Never happend according to Fox News.

 JB> I just really have no use for most of the established Republican party.
 JB> If somebody wanted to put together a party that represented traditional
 JB> conservative values, I would think quite a bit differently of them, even
 JB> if I didn't always agree with them.  But it seems all we have to choose
 JB> from in this country at the moment are Democrats, and crooks.  Which is
 JB> unfortunate, because some people refuse to vote for a Democrat regardless
 JB> of the opposition.

It's all about money and power for them self. What then happends to the people,
who cares.

 JB> But anyway, I digress.  Spitzer shows that no party is immune from bad
 JB> apples. I know a conservative or two who are reveling in him getting
 JB> caught. And hey, who am I to ruin their fun.  I think he sucks as much as
 JB> they do. I hate him for his ignorant speeches about the "dangers" of video
 JB> games more than anything else, regardless of this incident.  So good
 JB> riddins.

I wonder what his daughters are thinking about him for not talking about his
wife.
How can they have lived with him for about 10 years without noticing anything?
People in that positions are getting speed-blind as long as the money is coming
in.
