BATON ROUGE –

BATON ROUGE – In the wake of U.S. Sen. David Vitter’s apology after his phone number turned up in an escort service's call list, a member of the Republican State Central Committee called for him to resign.
Vincent Bruno of Kenner said today that Vitter should resign “for his own good, the good of the party and the good of his family.” If he doesn’t resign, Vitter should “join the Democratic Party where they think that kind of behavior is OK.”

 
Bruno said Vitter’s actions violate the Republican Party’s “Family Values” stance but he doesn’t expect the party leadership to do anything about it. 


“We’re the party of hypocrites,” he said. “Vote for us and we’ll lie to you, we’ll engage prostitutes and we’ll cheat on our wives.”






the gop members are not hypocrites, they need to "blow off steam" considering their the only ones working on capital hill.

teh dems just sit on their limp wrists and whine.

obviously, teh dems need to get laid.

So you are apologizing for them?  lol

I love how this Vitter guy apologized for his phone number being on the list instead of apologizing for actually using the prostitutes. LOL

It's kind of like the Giambi apology, he never told anyone what he was apologizing for.

[Dos Equis]

He should resign.

Wrong.  He did imply he cheated, spoke of how he sinned, asked his wife for forgiveness so yeah, he did admit to busting up pussy for money.

[Dos Equis]

just checking, did bill clinton resign?

He should have.  It would have been the honorable thing to do.   Lost his moral authority to be Commander in Chief.

He specifically apologized for his number being on the list not for using the services of a prostitue. Your defense of him is laughable.

Most of what he says is laughable or stupid.

What ever Clinton is or did is peanuts compared to the gross failure from a string of incompetent decisions BUSH has put us in. 

BUSH should resign.

BUSH should resign.

I disagree.  Clinton sacrificed the lives of American soldiers in Somalia.  Refused to send in the armor when the commanders on the ground requested it, because he (through Les Aspen) was concerned about how that would be viewed at home.  Under Reagan, we lost 241 of our boys in Lebanon because our guards didn't have their weapons loaded (probably a political decision).  I think you can find a number of decisions by our Commander in Chief over the years that were, in hindsight, mistakes that resulted in the loss of life.   

And I don't consider what Clinton did peanuts.  His conduct was reprehensible.

You can point fingers at both sides easily. Clinton's social engineering od the Armed Services did alot of damage to our moral and readyness.

How many soldiers died in Somalia?  what was it 18?  And Reagan had 241 die. 

We are talking 3500+ men here.  not 18 or 241. we are also talking about 400 billion dollars.

There is no comparison what so ever.

Bush's irresponsible actions have cost our nation dearly.

Clinton infidelity while in office is nothing compared to that.  It's like your pants falling off at a wedding and you are wearing Victoria secret silk panties.

readiness for what?  we've prevailed beautifully in every major conflict.  Somalia was an operation with-in a conflict.  It was a mission gone sour.  In any event, regardless of what the "wuss" pacifists say, we did pretty good considering what we were up against that day.

[headhuntersix]

For this war for one....everybody says Bush wasn't ready for Iraq, equipment wise...well it was the Clinton defense budgets that provided for this war.

Try telling that to the family members of the soldiers who were slaughtered in Somalia.  The body count isn't relevant to me.  The loss of a single life because of an incorrect political decision is wrong.  

I'm not comparing Clinton's infidelity to Bush's decision to invade Iraq.  I don't see a comparison at all.  Clinton had sex with a White House intern in the White House while he was doing official business, lied to his cabinet and the American people about it, and lost his law license because of it.  At the same time, the military was punishing and discharging soldiers for the crime of adultery.  I don't consider that "nothing."  That was terrible.

I don;t consider it nothing either,  but compared to an irresponsible invasion and aftermath policy and strategic decision that have led to the death of 3500 US troops, 20,000 wounded, and 400 billion it is trivia only.

Losing any amount of troops is bad from poor decision making.  However, BUSH decisions have exponentially affected far more people than the 18 who lost their lives. 

Comparing with out placing quantifying value doesn't change the enormity of BUSH incompetence that warrants a resignation.

I agree that Bush mismanaged the war.  He should have listened to Shinseki.  Our force was not large enough.  We grossly underestimated the "insurgents."  I know it was actually Rumsfeld driving the train, but Bush is accountable at the end of the day.

Still, Bush isn't resigning over this war.  It was the right thing to do.  Congress approved.  We have achieved some major results.  We just have to figure out how to get the heck out of dodge.  (I know we're never completely leaving.)     

[OzmO]

would it make you happy to see cheney as president?

I'm sure you'd be tickled pink.   I thought BUSH and Cheney were the same being

Just for the record,  Clinton should have resigned also.  But same as Bush is now.  It will never happen.

Are you saying he should have resigned because he lied about the blowjob? Are you kidding?

I'm not one to defend Clinton, in fact I don't like him but it was a blowjob. All politicians lie, all of them. If he was caught lying about something important (ie, war, national defense, pardons, etc) then I agree, he should have resigned but it was a blowjob.

Do you really care that he lied about getting a blowjob from some fat intern?

How about this, he should have resigned because he bombed a building that he claimed was making weapons or something to divert attention away from the Lewinsky scandal. I'm all over that being an offense worthy of resigning over but to lie about a blowjob?  It's not a topic that has any real consequences for us.

And before you say he shouldn't have lied keep in mind that every single politician in the US lies and lies often. It's a sad requirement for the job.

And I'd feel the same way if Bush lied about tagging some intern, I wouldn't care, ultimately it's not important.
