Spitzer resigned in a scandal. He was not just cheating. He was a patron of those that he prosecuted for breaking the law.

Weiner did not just "sext". He falsely accused his political opponents of hacking into his account and planting those photos. In other words, he claimed his political opponents were committing felonies...when, in fact, he knew it was his own wrong doing.

He left a woman with cancer on her sick bed to get with a newer model.

Gotta love it.

And?

Both men resigned.

They are entering politics again.

If the public doesn't want them..they shouldn't vote for them.

Nowhere did I say they shouldn't run.

The article cited in the thread simply discussed the irony of how they are viewed by the voting public...it is an opinion piece.

Seawytch tried to compare those two with Newt. And whereas I personally would not vote for Newt as I feel his infidelity is an indication of a man lacking appropriate judgment.....I can not compare his actions with the actions of the other two.

Spitzer broke the law. True, a rarely enforced law....but a law that he, himself, was instrumental in prosecuting.

Weiner "sort of" broke the law. He, in theory, filed a false police report. He told the world that his political opponents hacked into his text account and planted the pictures. He accused them of a felony. And he knew it was a lie.

Newt did not break the law. He acted like an ass....but he did not break the law.

Ethics charges and reprimand
Vice President Al Gore, House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton at the 1997 State of the Union Address

Eighty-four ethics charges were filed by Democrats against Gingrich during his term as Speaker. All were eventually dropped except for one: claiming tax-exempt status for a college course run for political purposes.[75] The House officially reprimanded Gingrich (in a vote of 395 in favor, 28 opposed) and "ordered [him] to reimburse the House for some of the costs of the investigation in the amount of $300,000".[76][77] It was the first time a Speaker was disciplined for an ethics violation.[78][79]

Additionally, the House Ethics Committee concluded that inaccurate information supplied to investigators represented "intentional or ... reckless" disregard of House rules.[80] The Ethics Committee's Special Counsel James M. Cole concluded that Gingrich had violated federal tax law and had lied to the ethics panel in an effort to force the committee to dismiss the complaint against him. The full committee panel did not agree whether tax law had been violated and left that issue up to the IRS.[80] In 1999, the IRS cleared the organizations connected with the "Renewing American Civilization" courses under investigation for possible tax violations.[81]

Regarding the situation, Gingrich said in January 1997, "I did not manage the effort intensely enough to thoroughly direct or review information being submitted to the committee on my behalf. In my name and over my signature, inaccurate, incomplete and unreliable statements were given to the committee, but I did not intend to mislead the committee.... I brought down on the people's house a controversy which could weaken the faith people have in their government."[82]

In any case..I think it's too soon for Weiner. However if he wins the Democratic Primary, I'd vote for him.

And I thought Spitzer never should have resigned. He's a brilliant guy and New York needs him.

but you ignore the crux of my point.

Ethics violations are not good. I agree.

Breaking the law is worse.

Accusing your political opponents of committing felonies you know they did not commit to cover up your own wrong doing is even worse.

You would vote for a guy who has proven that if he makes a mistake, he will not own up to it...but instead blame it on someone else?

You think that is a good thing for NYC?

I've voted for several republicans in the past in local elections.

I won't do that again, until they purge themselves of the nuts.

There should be more Jack Kemps and Bob Doles instead of Ted Cruzes and Michelle Bachmanns.

Give me a break.

I am sure Romney planned on that head on collision.

Did Romney walk away and let the people die without seeing if they can be saved?

Or is that just used by the Kennedys?
