Why we need to keep talking about Vitter-Hypocrisy issue aside
Edited on Tue Jul-17-07 11:03 AM by chimpsrsmarter
i know some of you are tired of this story but the reason why it needs to be talked about especially now is that Vitter is trying to run out the clock until the August recess, i'm sure his his people figure that if the msm stops covering this story and then the congress goes on vacation that by the time they come back the story will be forgotten about and Vitter skates, we can't let that happen.

1. Exactly.. The republican gurus know how short the attention span is
and there will be a "cone of silence" awaiting Vitter's return. If he can stay in that cone for a few more weeks, the vacation starts, and after a month off, this will be "old news", so of course no one will comment on it.

The heat needs to be turned UP..not OFF.

2. See, it's not just little boys that the republicans molest. They like hookers too.

3. Plus, if he resigns we get a majority in the Senate.
And Lieberman loses his swing vote.

12. I'm all for keeping Republican hypocrisy on the front burner..
it IS an issue, a big one as far as I'm concerned. Expose ALL of the glass house dwellers.
