Spitzer
Posted by michaelindc under Elliot Spitzer, Family Values, Governor Spitzer, New York State, Spitzer, abortion, adultery, gay marriage, prostitution, valuesElliot Spitzer is going to destroy the Democratic Party in New York State. The NY Times has reported that Spitzer has admitted to being involved in a prostitution ring.
How many scandals can a first-term Governor get involved in? Especially one who was running a campaign on ethics? I am embarrassed to have him as a Governor. I am embarrassed that he is a Democrat.
I have been disappointed with him from the day he got elected. He ran a campaign that promised to bring his tough, ambitious tactics to the Governor’s mansion. He promised to make Albany work for New Yorkers. Instead he swooped in to office to try to expand abortion rights and pass gay marriage legislation. He has been a complete and utter failure.
I am calling for the Governor to step down. This is not a case of adultery, which I believe is grounds for stepping down, but of breaking the law. The man who broke up two prostitution rings as Attorney General has taken part in one now.
I wish I had more to say, but for now, I’m just disgusted. I am ashamed. I hope the Governor is as well.
