The moral majority are out in full effect because of Gov. Spitzer. People who stand on their moral high horse and expouse disdain for the "sinners" disgust me. Everyone is a little immoral in their own way, if you don't think you are, you're probably next in line for satan. At any rate. I could care less if anyone that is not married to me cheats on their spouse. It is a private matter. I personally think it's wrong. If the wife decides to stand by her husband throught thick and thin the good on her. That's their marriage kudos to them for trying to make it work. Just like with Hillary Clinton, you'd be amazed at the comments I've heard from other women stating that they wouldn't vote for her because she didn't leave her cheating husband. That's her friggin perogative! If you decide your vote for president based on the fact that she honored her wedding vows and believes marriage is for life then you should be stripped of your right to vote.
My issue is that I don't care what elected officials do in their personal lives as long as it's legal. Prostitution isn't legal in DC or NY. That's why he should step down. I don't care if he was caught with a hooker or crack, both are illegal. We have elected officials to uphold and create laws. They have to take an oath once they are sworn in to do so. I'd prefer the gay NJ governor stay in office over Spitzer. His relationship was consensual and legal. Although it may be common practive, paying for sex is still a crime, whether you think it should be or not. I think he should be forced to step down. If he hit his wife would this be up for discussion at all? I don't care if he was caught speeding. Elected officials should be held to a higher standard because they are our representatives. They don't have to be saints but they do have to follow the law like the rest of us. Doctors take oaths to help people through the use of medicine. Should a drug dealing doctor be able to continue preforming surgeries?
Unfortunately husbands cheat every day, they have wonderful wives and children, they do it anyway. It breaks up families and spreads disease. It is morally wrong. The US government is not run by what people believe is morally right or wrong, it is run by a group of elected officials that create laws and protections (supposedly) for the greater good. Elected officials are subject to the same laws as the rest of us common folk.
This is really a wonderful opportunity to those in the Obama camp to capitalize on Hillary's lack of real condemnation of Spitzer. I realize she supported him ,but her reaction (especially after Spitzer apologized) should have been a little more harsh than it was. Obama's link the the Chicago slum lord is often brought up, he's just a corrupt business man. What president hasn't been linked to at least one (cough, cough Clinton's massive pardons at the end of his term, everyone who's ever been in the same room as Dick Cheaney)? To be connected to an elected official engaged in illegal activity is much worse.
When looking at a disgraced public official the first question should be, have they broken the law? If not let them go about their merry way. Who dictates what is sexually moral anyway? Some celibate latin speaking man that lives in Europe, the well dressed preacher having affairs with half the congregation, some loud mouth red-raced person yelling on Fox News, the US government? It should be none of the above. Instead of constantly passing judgement on how other people live their lives to feel superior, why can't we just focus on our own morality, if it really exists.
