David Vitter Admits To Escort Services
 
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., apologized Monday night for "a very serious sin in my past" after his telephone number appeared among those associated with an escort service operated by the so-called "D.C. Madam."

Isaac-Saxxon 07-10-2007 06:56 AM

OH you poooooooooooooooor bleeding heart liberals you are like sharks at feeding time. Look around for your cigar president and there will be a fire wall of liberal tripe defending his actions. This is the most liberal forum in the area and anytime the Times has half a chance it will jump on any conservitive. Oh bleeding hearts this is still a red state so go west or go east to find your buddies. Just because Sheveport is full of block voters that does not mean the entire state is. Next to go is Mrs. Mary, Mary :eek: :eek:

joepole 07-10-2007 08:41 AM

Wow, something that kinda/sorta makes me like David Vitter.

Pocahontas 07-10-2007 09:46 AM

I do like how Vitter owned up to his mistake and didn't try to say "I did not have sex with that woman!" as we've heard from so many prominent leaders in the past. He has apologized and he and his wife seemed to have worked through it...everyone should move on now.

Isabella 07-10-2007 10:44 AM

That is his private business. I don't care.

rhertz 07-10-2007 11:08 AM

Were any other names listed in the escort service "black book" released? Or just this one conservative? Ted Kennedy perhaps? I thought the list was long. Certainly is contains names from both parties. Conservatives aren't the only ones who like to get their freak on.

I doubt Ted or "Ed" could even get it up :laugh: That Kennedy family were some fools big time. JFK almost sheet himself over the Cuban deal. I am sure DNC names on that list will not make national headlines.

I just find it disgusting that our public officials keep sinking to new lows like this. Yes it's a private matter between him and as wife (to some degree) but as a public official I believe he should set a positive example for others. I realize people make mistakes, Lord knows I have made more than my fair share, but I am not an elected official nor will I ever be. I just don't like it that's all I am saying. I do also agree with Isaac in that it's easy to see that the Liberals have their finger all in this.

Who would want to be a politician anyway but the power brokers of the world. The devil is in the details but a man just a man and not perfect as the One is. Good post Sista Tbelle :clap:

Al Swearengen 07-10-2007 06:49 PM

So what if Vitter's name appeared on some client list? Far as I'm concerned he gets a pass. Vitter is one of the few politicians who understands that he serves his constiuents, and he does a damn fine job of it.

Molon Labe! Good post Sir Al :clap: He has done a good job considering he is from LA ;) better than anything else south of I-10 :rolleyes:

Isabella 07-10-2007 08:55 PM

At least he was not seen out and about with a woman who is not his wife. There is a politician from my area that is seen in bars with women doing things that should be done in private. I don't condone Vitter's behavior, but it is not any of my business what he does in his private life. Personally, I really DO NOT want to hear about it.

Not yet!!! I imagine they will be forthcoming the way things are progressing!:nono:

Isaac-Saxxon 07-11-2007 07:04 PM

Hey could change his name fro David to JOHN :D Who knows there could be little Vitters running around he does not know about now that would make the day for the DNC. This is LA and ........................

Isabella 07-11-2007 10:09 PM

I read most of the latest story. Looks like he wanted one night stands with no strings attached. You might say he has family values. LOL. Sad, if this ruins his career. I felt like the Clinton/Monika story should not have had the press it did. It was his and Hilary's business. Clinton should have fessed up in the beginning. I think this is why it went on and on. Monika was an idiot to go before Congress and tell them what she did. She owed no one anything.

Please understand, I do not condone adultry!

Me neither. But it is hard to understand how Bill and Monika are the "bad guys" and yet Hillary deserves to be our next President!? Go figure...

Says WHO????????:p

Al Swearengen 07-12-2007 03:20 AM

I dont condone adultery either. I'll go one step further and admit that I support Vitter mainly because he is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, and I will continue to support him just as the libs supported Clinton when his sexual antics came to light.

Isaac-Saxxon 07-12-2007 05:44 AM

Is there any politician that does not have some bones in the closet ? If they did not have faults they would be perfect. I only know of ONE that is perfect and it is not Vitter. If he is repentant and his wife accepts his remorse and apologies than it should end there. The political head hunters will never quit and that is just a part of the political game.

Texasbelle 07-12-2007 08:00 PM

Have you seen in the nwes today that he has been in hiding since this story broke? What's up with that?

rhertz 07-12-2007 08:17 PM

I like to think that I base my vote on the issues and the past voting record, rather than the man or the party. Who makes a better politician? a good man with a bad voting record, or a bad man with a good voting record?

Well, I would like to have both.......a good man with a good voting record.

Texasbelle, I would hide, too! Wonder why politicians don't learn from others mistakes? Did Vitter's wife live with him in DC or did she stay behind in La.?

Pocahontas 07-12-2007 10:04 PM

Me too Isabella! Those guys never seem to win here in LA. Why is that?:confused: OR we think they are good then this kind of a situation occurs. I don't know it's just so disheartening.

Money is the number one reason. The good guys don't know how to make deals with people to get money for their campaign. Sane people don't want the job, either. LOL

I am sure David Vitter is a good guy who strays to the gray area to get elected. He must have a great need in the bedroom, too. Still I can't believe he was that stupid. He apparently thought hiring women would be safer than having an affair. If I was his wife, I would be extremely furious with him and there would be no you know what. He probably needs a second chance for the sake of the marriage, but it sure would be hard to trust. This is a personal issue. If he were taking bribes that is another matter.

If only he had used an independent escort he wouldn't have to deal with the problems that come with an agency. Independent escorts are always in it voluntarily so it's not morally wrong either + in my experience, a generally better "bang for the buck" ;). I recommend the escortsinmyarea independent escort directory for contacting escorts who respond quickly to emails. I've been using that site for months & it has worked wonders for me.

This must be Joe using his alter ego generic avatar!:D
