Here. She's a singer. Her song suddenly has 1 million plays in one day. It's a pretty good way to get her career going, eh? I'd say this is the most flattering photo. Well you can see why she got the job anyway. I read that she didn't even know he was the Governor. I can't imagine how surreal it is for her to suddenly be on CNN and the newspapers. Although... I guess she doesn't watch CNN or read the newspapers since she didn't even know she was sleeping with the Governor.
Maybe I am a bit dumb, but where does it say she was sleeping with him I thought he was Client #9 and she was scre***g him for money Can you please update me on the sleeping bit, I missed that
Well perhaps "sleeping with" isn't really the most accurate way to describe what Ms. Dupre was doing with Mr. Spitzer.
Ah... I think she's pretty hot. Mr. Spitzer is a very rich man, so he could afford it. Financially anyway. Obviously he couldn't afford it in other ways.
Isn't he known for espousing morals and ethics? Similar to that other representative that was caught in a Minneapolis airport soliciting a male cop that was against Gays? It seems often the ones who are the most vocal may be hiding the very thing they're against. Hmmmm.
One must be wary of the overly self-righteous. I, on the other hand, think that prostitution should be absolutely 100% legal. But I have no interest in being with a prostitute. It just annoys me that the Government makes so many things into crimes. I do not believe that any victimless/vice crime should be considered a crime. It's moralizing. I don't need the government telling me what my morals should be. It's just not their place. I wish other people realized the importance of their own freedom. Most people don't seem to realize this until they are caught in a bad place with their freedoms about to be taken away. I also find the whole thing that the Bank alerted the Feds because of "suspicious bank withdrawals" to be very disturbing. I mean the idea that just withdrawing a bunch of money from your bank is enough reason to have the feds breathing down your back is just scary to me. What the hell is that all about?
I think that's been happening since the 'anti-terrorist' crisis started. Just like notifications to the FBI as to what books you check out from the library.
And the mofos who want the state to take your money to implement their version of righteousness! Hallelujah brother! Sing it from the mountaintops! Prostitution is a victimless crime. If two consenting adults agree to a free market trade of sex for money, how is it any different than trading sex for dinner, sex for affection/love, sex for shelter etc? You better ask your boy Barack why he keeps voting for those bills which reinforce the power of the state to breath down the necks of citizens. My only problem with him, is that he talks a lot, but he doesn't walk the walk.
This is what confuses me. What about pornos (which pay two or more people to have sex)? Why is that ok and not the other? I could see how the prostitute could be considered a victim, especially if she's confined or does things against her (or his) will. But otherwise, I see your point.
Geurilla - I'm not 100% happy with Obama on all of the issues. Far from it. I just like his stances and his rhetoric more than McCain's & Clinton's. Yes... it's "voting for the lesser of evils" and so on and so forth. I know. But I really think that Obama is significantly less inclined to get us into further unneeded war and to take away more of our civil liberties than is John McCain. And I think that's important. I appreciate your all or nothing stance... And I agree with you on many issues but... yeah, that's where I'm at. I also really like what Obama has said about talking openly to every country in the world. I hate the current attitude of "we don't talk to bad guys." It's just stupid. And Clinton has pretty much said she will continue that BS. That's a big difference between Obama & Clinton. Plus I am somewhat of a socialist I don't entirely think government programs are bad like hardcore Libertarians do. I think the Government has it's place. In fact there are issues where I'd like Obama to be further to the left (health care for example.) I do realize it's a bit of a slippery slope. You give the Government some place and it wants to take over the whole damn place. Right? Maybe that is true. It's a good debate to have. I know that Ron Paul says that financial liberty and civil liberty should be considered one in the same and that it's illogical that liberals (like myself) seem to separate the two. I can see his point... But in the end I disagree. I'm not against the idea of a federal tax really... I'm just against the misuse of those tax funds. Maybe it's inherent in any bureaucracy that there will be a large amount of misuse? Another fine argument to have!
I'd also like to add that if Paul ran as an independent and that if the polls in my state were Paul 33%, McCain 33%, and Obama 33% on election day - I'd vote for Ron Paul. But if the polls are McCain 45%, Obama 45%, and Paul 10% - I'd have to vote for Obama. You may call that not sticking with your convictions, but I call it pragmatism
I know, I just wanted to give you "the business". Yeah it is a good debate. I'd be into it anytime. It gets boring and old arguing with the same close minded morons who only want to argue, not actually try to see another perspective and gain some insight. iul is pretty good debating socialistic POVs. Unfortunately, some loser had our last discussion thread closed because I was embarrassing him so badly (not iul, the loser) We are all utilitarian in one way or another. I'm ok with that because the free market allows for free market decisions. Maybe the pragmatic approach is better than the alternative. Having the opportunity to vote for the 10% or the lesser of two evils is what makes the system truly free.
Maybe, at this time we do not know, she sucked on his whistle............ then someone blew the whistle on them
Speaking of victimless crime. Here's a timely news article on it. Prostitution: Perhaps not a crime, but hardly "victimless" out of New Jersey.
How is Spitzer's wife a victim? She decided to marry this @sshole! Our whole society is about wiping the tears from the face of people who make bad decisions. "Oh, you paid too much for a house, and want to go bankrupt? There, there you poor dear. Don't be so sad..." As far as the taxpayers, prostitution didn't rip them off, Spitzer did. It's just an attempt to portray prostitution as a gateway to hell. Like how marijuana supposedly leads to heroin and grand theft.
I agree, I mean I think she is decent looking but for $5000 an hour you expect a drop dead gorgeous girl
Ya that really smells of some witchhunt/ conspiracy... either from the Federal Reps who want to knock down the next big Dem Presidential hopeful or from those friends of enemies of Spitzer that Spitzer has been bulldozing the past decade
