The head lines are Spitzer while the GOP gives 12 billion dollars a day to Iraq. Nice cover to take the public attention from the robbery. I have to give them credit they know how to steal and get away with it, as Democrats sit with their blinders on. Spitzer was sit up good and he knows it. I just can't get over the word Christian Values as New York cheered a Mayor for having a mistress/wife/kids and making it public. Where were the Family Values then? No one asked Rudy to leave office because of the sandal. Rudy even ran for President with the same Christian Family Values as Republicans cheered him on. We have Law Makers who were child molesters not a word from the Christian Family Values Republicans. Spitzer has a hooker he must be fired, Vitters has many hookers he must stay and Craig looks for sex in the men's room he must stay. No wonder the United States in this mess, the Sinners are running the country.
