N.Y. GOP to Spitzer: Quit or we impeach

[Ava]

Ava to GOP: What ever happened to Larry Craig? Oh yeah, that's right.. NOTHING.

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. So now we know, on the Republican Ethic Scale of Heinousness,

hiring a prostitute ranks way, way, way, way, way above starting an illegal war and killing tens of thousands of children and thousands of our own young adults while driving the country 3 trillion dollars in debt.

Cool.

Glad we have that settled.

One prostitute, get impeached.

Start a financially disastrous genocide and commit treason and war crimes, everything's cool.

[MrCoffee]

6. And the NY GOP is somehow involved in Iraq?

This is fascinating news.

[Ava]

8. The Republican Party is

and the NY Republican party is party of the.. yeah.. Republican Party.

[MrCoffee]

14. Spare me.

It's a state legislature actually doing it's job. Good for them, they should start impeachment hearings...that's what legislatures are supposed to do.

Just because it's our guy who got busted this time doesn't mean he should get a free pass.

[Ava]

15. no he shouldn't

my point is that Larry Craig should not also get a free pass

[MrCoffee]

17. I agree. It's the US Senate's job to investigate Craig

Just like it's the NY legislature's job to investigate Spitzer.


Your beef isn't with the NY GOP, it's with our sorry-ass Senate "leadership".

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Probably not - perhaps you could ask them.

Some might have children there.

Probably not, though.

Anyway, back to the actual topic at hand, after this little tangent...

[Ava]

10. exactly.. aparently the sex lives of politicians is grounds for impeachment

everything else and impeachment is off the table

[MrCoffee]

19. So is their criminal behavior, and the last time I checked...

hiring a prostitute is still against the law.

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. NY GOP will look like imbeciles for considering a porn sting worse than legalizing waterboarding.

And 935 lies into an invasion for oil, thousands of US and Iraqis dead, no-bid contracts for friends companies that you still own stock in, illegal wiretapping since before 9/11, DSM, Valerie Plame, etc.

We know how much they hate sex and love war. To death.

[MrCoffee]

3. What does the NY GOP have to do with Larry Craig?

[Ava]

7. nothing other than the irony of the party calling for Spitzer's resignation

while in Idaho Craig is still a sitting GOP Senator

[MrCoffee]

9. Isn't it the job of the State legislature to investigate criminal allegations against the governor?

Why on earth would we chastise a legislature for actually doing what the fuck it's supposed to do? Would that the US Congress take a hint from the NY statehouse.

[Ava]

13. i thought i posted this in the lounge

didn't know i posted in GD :shrug:

[MrCoffee]

16. Why did you post it here?

[Ava]

18. so i could get chastised by you apparently

have a nice day :hi:

[MrCoffee]

20. you too.

[Connonym]

27. heh, Ava you crack me up

I hope my daughters turn into spunky funny teenagers like you.

[Ava]

28. spunky funny teens will one day rule the world

mark my words :P ;) :hi:

[Connonym]

31. your mouth to God's ear

it's the only hope keeping me going. The Boomers seem to have it all screwed up and my generation X seems to be content to let it happen. Gotta hope for a better future.

[Orsino]

4. Didn't they hear that impeachment is off the table? n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

5. Can it really be so hard to believe that they had Spitzer in their sites?

There is an excellent thread with an explanation of the possibilities...and the motives..

No denying Spitzer acted like a moron..but it sure looks like they were laying in wait for him....

[TZ]

11. Its that whole icky sex thing

Cause you know having an affair with a prostitute is sooo much more important than upholding our "quaint" constitution

[AlCzervik]

12. it's nice how they have their priorities in order, they're going to impeach Bush fist right?

[TZ]

21. Vitter is still in the Senate, isn't he?

Why doesn't he get thrown out. Is it because "God forgives him?":puke:

[Ava]

22. yes he is

last i checked

[quip]

24. Ava, the simple truth here now is that Spitzer is now a GOP talking point. He's a disgrace

and should be removed so that he can't further damage the party. He fucked himself; now he needs to go away and not make the Dems pay for it anymore.

[TZ]

25. True enough.

I think he should quit. But the hypocrisy of the GOP with Larry Craig and Mr. Vitter is nauseating.

[Ava]

26. i completely agree with that

and he did break the law, it is as simple as that

i always say that you can leave it up to democrats to screw up positive views of the party, lol.

[Connonym]

29. And once again we're looking for volunteers to give W a blow job so he'll be impeachable

come ON you guys, don't you love America? Just close your eyes and think of England. No wait, that only works if you're the queen. Well you know what I mean!!

[edbermac]

30. We'll trade them Spitzer for Bush.

:patriot:

[LynneSin]

32. Or David VItters

:shrug:
