The Truth May 20th, 2008 9:27 am ET

I hope this was an Obema's supporters. He is so bad and his wife is worse. give me a break and let's go Hillary

------------------------–

I've seen this person in other threads as well – goes by "The Truth" but only writes speculation.

So, this is Bush fault too right? I don't think so people you have your own
problem do not blame to other person.

SENATOR CLINTON WILL CLEAN UP THE G.O.P-MESS !

Well at least he wasn't tapping his toes in the cell

So much for The Moral Authority attitude of the GOP. Buncha hypocrites.

Who cares. People should not be peeking in other peoples bedrooms...

Hear that noise that was a Republican ducking from shame!!!

This is why I left the Republican Party. They are a bunch of sick hypocrites. They all seem to have some type of sexually related perversion. Maybe it come from trying to pretend that they are not NORMAL HUMANS.

See Comment # 11: "I hope this was an Obema's supporters. He is so bad and his wife is worse. give me a break and let's go Hillary"

Why are Clintonites so gratuitously hateful?

TO THE TRUTH:

Do you people not read or comprehend at all??? This is a REPUBLICAN senator from NY, so of course he's not an Obama supporter. He has more on his plate to contend with right now than suporting a presidential candidte, wouldn't you think???

Lets bring dignity back to politics and in the White House.

OBAMA '08!

Oh my word! Is November gonna be great for us Dems or what? Why is it that the GOP is so hypocritical? All the talk about Christianity and God, but they are corrupt, corrupt, corrupt!

I'm not saying we Dems don't have the same challenges, but we don't preach all that thetoric while doing what we do in secret.

November will be fun, January will be a huge relief, and then we'll have to suck it up and "do" instead of "talk".

Robert Hare, a leading scientist on psychopathy, should be consulted when anyone seeks political office. In this way, we can weed out the thugs. But they would run anyway; they have no shame. And thats' a fact.

Sounds like he is prime democrat presidential material.

Operation Chaos is still in effect.

Do not get played for a fool by the republicans.

Most of the democratic 'infighting' consists of republican plants posing as democrats.

A vote for McCain is a vote for 4 more years of Bush, or worse.

Don't let yourself get used and deceived.

Vote Democrat '08

Haha wow New York sure has had a tough year. They do love their mistresses out there don't they. Come on buddy, can't get your wife or brother to bail you out of jail like a normal guy could you? Tsk Tsk. Politicians need to read from the Kennedy adultery handbook before fooling around. Now there was a pro.

All aboard!

Next stop the men's room!

HYPOCRITES!

Only the Dems. could blow this gift of the White House and Congress by choosing Obama as the nominee. We deserve to losse...AGAIN!

The Republican Party – The Party of Family Values.

YEAH RIGHT!

Just one more Republican caught with his pants down. How is this news????? YAWN!

Yes, yet another upstanding representative takes a fall. Good! I hope his wife takes his dishonest, philandering behind for everything.

I HAVE BEEN A CHRISTIAN MY WHOLE LIFE & THESE

BUSH BOYS ARE THE FURTHEST THING FROM ANY

RELIGION I KNOW, LET ALONE CHRISTIANITY. THEY CLOAK

THEMSELVES BY THE VAIL OF THE LORD & JUST DO EVIL.

The 'family values' party strikes again.

THESE BUSH CHRISTIANS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH

CHRISTIANITY. THEY JUST SELL IT FOR A VOTE & $1.00.

ANOTHER TRUE BUSH CHRISTIAN.

the so-called 'moral' majority,is finding out they're no better than anyone else.funny thing is they never were better than anyone else,they just thought their membership in establishment religion gave them power to wield, politically and socially.bush and republicans won the 2000 election with a promise of restoring morality to the white house,after bill clinton's impeachment trial.they have since had one after another,of sex-capades,that shows the hidden 'immorality', that hypocritic republicans try to make an issue.mccain has his own problems with morals,ethics and spreading falsehoods.obama appears to be morally sound.

.

I think that it is funny how a republican makes the news when something like this happens and if a democrat does the exact same thing, it is just another day at the office.

The democratic morality bar is set sooooo loooow.

Funny thing is...it is easy to take shots and rightly so, but at least the Republicans campaign on and actually have some morals. Where is the morality in killing millions of unborn children every year? Would be easy if I could 'choose' and just kill all my problems when they arise. Problem is that they are only fair game inside the womb....

Good, he's not fit to lead anybody. He should focus on getting his act together and apologizing to his wife and kids.

If you run on the family platform and engage in this behaviour it is clear you are also a hypocrite. Another seat to the dems, the floodgates are opening up faster then I expected.

Oh no, not a conservative!!! That is where all the prefection lies in this country. People should resign when they start being dishonest, not when they get caught.

It is sad to see another, possibly good (I am not a resident of NY and so cannot speak on the value this man has given the state), person destroyed by a bunch of bible thumping rednecks! It is ironic that he ran on the family values platform and now must pay the price for forcing his definition of "morality" down our throats. I guess it is Karma that those who preach intolerance fall because of the intolerance they preached.

Me I am a humanist I think as long as you do not harm than you should be allowed to do what you want. I believe that punishing someone because of their personal life is wrong, punishing someone before they commit any actual harm is wrong (stalker laws, seatbelt laws, drug laws, speed limits, drunk driving laws etc). If they actually hurt some one than punish them but if they make it home, no accident than there was no crime. It is called Freedom folks it is a TOUGH thing to live with but well worth it.

Those who will trade security for freedom deserve neither. Ben Franklin

It kind of reminds me of Gingrich pushing for Bill Clinton's impeachment only to find that he had cheated on his own wife. Clinton stayed in office and Gingrich had to leave. Don't get me wrong, I thought that Clinton should have left also, but the Republicans and their "family values" seem to think it only applies to the Democrats.

We forget that these people are human...just like ministers, rabbis, educators, CEOs, etc. They do things that are "wrong", but it doesn't mean they are "bad" people. I'm not judging the senator. I truly hope the entire situation works together for the good of all...especially the children. All of his children, including his daughter outside of his marriage, deserve that.

Even though the republicans try to convince you that the are so religious. Yet they are nothing but a bunch of phonies and lairs! Republicans are alway in trouble!

Wait...they can't be talking about a Republican – it wasn't a gay affair or a 15 year old boy!

Pray for him and his family!

I would like to see of you in this mess and see how you deal with it!

When people make mistakes – they hurt themselves more!

A Republican sex scandal?

Never!

Vote these bums out of office!

I'm saddened by this for his children especially, and for his spouse and his mistress. But, given the moral high ground the Republicans are always claiming, and their efforts to control the personal life of others by allowing religious doma and sanctimonious efforst at legislating all morality, it is nice to once again see a hypocrite be exposed and go down to pubic exposure.

A Recovering Republican

The party of morals and family values – LMAO!!!!

Hey when Hillary Clinton can run after her husband refined the Cigars in white house, he can also run

Now, how will he support his 2 wives?

Republicans = Hypocrites

Vito is a repulsive man.....not because of his moral fluidity, but because of his policies and beliefs. No...go work in the private sector and make millions. I heard Hillary's campaign is hiring.

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF HILLARY HAD DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS? IT WOULD HURT HER CHANCE IN NOVEMBER.

Take notes.That is what a politician should do when you lose your integrity.Only if your a democrat would that improve your career.hed probably be running for president in a few years.

REPUBLICANS ARE IN TROUBLE ALL OVER TEH COUNTRY!!!

LET'S GO DEMOCRATS!!!! UNITE IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a stupid decision, 90% of the congress have or had an affair, a buch of hypocrites.

Smart move.

Good luck, seriously, on pathching things up with your wife and kids.
With GOD's love, redemption is possible.

Good for the GOP. Keep it up.

The guy did not leave on his own. he had to be pushed-
Damage already done.

WHY can't men who accept the responsibilities of public office understand what their responsibilities are? Do they mis-understand their role to be pubic office rather than public office? Can't they wait until they leave public office for all these carryings-on???

what a surprise. this married joke was caught with his ho whom he has a 3 year old child by. his ho bailed him out of jail and the good congressman has to ponder if he will seek re-election. what a joker.

typical republican. and these are the people we trust with doing what's right by our troops that are still getting injured and killed every day.

Something sounds fishy about this story. There is no mention of a gay affair.

Does he not have a name?

The old GOP is slowly cracking down!
That shows how importaint this elections are.
The GOP is missing the bus (train) to the future!

Obama, your almost there!!

GO!!!!!!

My prayer is coming true all this so called Republican conservatives (False Christians) are getting exposed one by one we will see more of them exposed in the near future. This people have been twisting God's word to score cheap political points for years, now God is responding to their sins I say Amen to that.

RESIGN NOW. At least Spitzer knew when the game was up. When it is over, you RESIGN. Hillary, take note: RESIGN.

Another Republican bites the dust due to a moral issue. At least this man is only involved with adults.

No matter how many times this happens, Conservatives see the culprit as somehow an exception to the rule that they are the exemplars of proper behavior for the nation. It is necessary to point out the obvious:

1. Most humans, especially most men, are simply not monogamous. Your husband has probably had an occasional 'experience' with another woman – or perhaps with another man. Maybe you know about it; maybe you don't. This includes Republicans. Men are true to their natures.

2. It is not the sexual adventures of Conservative and fundamentalist leaders that is interesting. That, actually, is none of my business and it is none of yours. What is interesting is the hypocrisy: that a Conservative will decry and condemn from the podium and from the pulpit behaviors that they themselves have engaged in and that they intend to engage in again.

3. I'd rather have a president or a senator who sleeps around (male or female, gay or straight) and who will work on the nation's problems than a faithful husband or wife who is in the pocket of corporate lobbyists.

That's too bad because he was doing a great job.

Another one bites the dust.

At last, the guy's made a good decision!

This bunch of nasty Republicans who preach morality and family values why does others.It baffles me beyound human comprehenssion that people from this last world super power are earsily deceived just like people from the banana republic.

DAH... that's the first decent thing this man has done. Gee, ya think.

The Republican party we are all told is the party of family values, morals, honesty and virtues. So this Fossella character is an adulterer and a drunk driver. What a fool. I don't feel a bit sorry for him. He's a disgrace.

...and another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust! Good riddance!

I thought that is was the Democrats that were stereotypically not able to keep their pants on while the Republicans couldn't keep their hands out of the money jar. I guess times are changing. Everybody is being caught doing everything.

I can't understand why someone would do this. If you run on being a "family values" person, just be sure that you define what those are and stick to them.

As if he stood a chance....LOL.

There goes another seat to the democrats. The repubicans are in horrible shape for this year.

If McCain picked Abraham Lincoln to be his vp I doubt he could help.

They deserve it tho, they claim to be the party of small government but they spent more money than the democrats under George W.

I hope this was an Obema's supporters. He is so bad and his wife is worse. give me a break and let's go Hillary

There must be something funny in the water of New York....What a bunch of losers!

Please CNN, who cares about this!

A New York congressman who admitted to fathering a child out of wedlock with a woman who bailed him out of jail on a drunk driving charge this month announced Monday that he will not run for re-election.

Wow. I didn't know you fit so many bad things into a single sentence.
1) Fathering a child out of wedlock.
2) Getting bailed out of jail.
3) Drunk driving.
4) GOP congressman (I know, it's not in the sentence, but it's in the title).

Well this sound like Bill Clinton...hint hint....

isn't he one of Hillary's best friends?

Those wacky REPUGS~~

i feel bad for his family,but we need our goverment offices cleaned up. we should not have to pay for johns and prosatutes.
he made the right choice

T H E T E N C O M M A N D M E N T S

Th real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments
posted in a courthouse is this:

You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not
Commit Adultery," and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building
full of lawyers, judges and politicians...
It creates a hostile work environment.

Do you imagine if something like this happened to Sen. Obama, it would hurt his chances in November?

This congressman ran on a family values platform. I salute his decision not to seek re-election, and mend his family. I wonder at how many of the voters in his district want him to run again, although there have been many, many calls for his immediate resignation from his constituents.

I wish someone would conduct a poll.
