Hillary should DENOUNCE and REJECT Spitzer's mistreatment of women
Remember when Hillary made a big deal in the last debate about how Obama should Denounce(or was it reject) Louis Farrakhan's statements about Jews. Well, I think she should hold herself to the same standards when it comes to Spitzer. He has mistreated woman. Using woman as sexual slaves is horrible. Since he has endorsed Hillary, she needs to denounce and reject his treatment of woman. We need to know that Hillary disagrees with Spitzer's actions.

2. Yep, that really sucks for them...
I'm sure the wife probably had some idea that something was amiss. But the kids ... I remember being in a similar situation a long time ago, and wouldn't wish it upon any kid.

7. I am taking my stance based on Hillary's leadership.
She was the one that demanded that candidates reject everything their endorsers do.

38. That's right they don't compare. Clinton has cordial relations with Spitzer...
wheras I've yet to see any connection between Obama and Farrakhan other than the fact that they both live in the same city and have similar skin color.

5. Sexual slaves? Did you not see that they get a Percentage of $5,500 a client?
I don't call that slavery. Those women are all beautiful and could find other work if they wanted to. They aren't slaves...they're immoral and stupid...but who am I (or you) to say what they should be doing.

12. apples and oranges. I think it should be legal but I also think it victimizes
women. Most female prostitutes are treated very badly and are at risk for all sorts of violence.

27. Well if it was legal
This would cut down on it dramatically. It works in Nevada and the rest of the US should follow their model and reap the tax windfall from it.

16. Were these women forced to get into prostitution?
You are after all calling them "sex slaves"

Personally I dont have an issue with prostitution, so I wont go all moral on people. I just have an issue with his hyprocrisy.

26. No!
It is horrible and immoral to poor women who are trying to make ends meet and that's probably their only option.

These women in this operation are in it because they want to be! They want to make lots of money...and they are! They are NOT sexual slaves. You're using a broad term for sexual slave.

9. Spitzer's women were paid well--but the prostitution industry in general
is deplorable, especially in 3rd world countries.

21. What about the message it sends to girls...
that they are just a commodity to be bought or sold? There are far reaching consequences of prostitution.. regardless of how much women are paid. This makes it no different than Louis Farrakhan's statements about Jews.

43. "Those women are all beautiful and could find other work if they wanted to."
So that's what qualifies a woman to get work - good to know.

15. Hey, speak for yourself! I wouldn't mind being a $3,500/hr "girl"!
I'm a woman, but way too old to be able to do that, and if we were talking about a $20 street girl, I'd agree with you, but $3,500 base & another $1,500 that is negotiable doesn't sound like it's mistreating any woman to me!

28. The Government should have long ago removed itself from this arena.
It has no place telling consenting adults what they can and cannot do in the privacy of their own domains.

Having said that, if you're going to be a crusader as he was you'd better be damn careful in your own life.

At $5,500 an hour, I've come to the conclusion that I'm definitely in the wrong line of business.

42. People who notice the hypocrisy that Clinton..
DEMANDED in a debate that Obama CLEARLY denounce(or was it reject) Louis's statements(that have nothing to do with the Obama campaign) Hillary started the "apologize for your endorser" crap.
