Good post, but they also don''t want to see it. The Party of Personal Responsibility means other people''s responsibilities, not their own.

The most telling thing about Vito...is that he is resigning in part to heal his family...his married family...but what about his other family...the mistress and her child...I guess they are expendable in the eyes of the GOP

-In the eyes of Bibull-GOPpys they are illegal, baastard!

-Now what if we brought back all the people who were born out of marriage, given into adoption and who gave advancemnt to Humanity through Human and Natural Sciences? Would the world be the same? Sure not. The world would be fighting like in tribal times.

-A good solution for this child to be proteceted, would be an alimony to her mother or an adoption by the main family.

[You people never seem to get it--you take no responsibility for anything--blame, blame, blame is all you do. LOL you people never seem to see that]

has gwb actually acknowleged responsibility for anything in seven years? seems to always be someone elses fault ... even when everyone knows he''s a screw-up in everything he''s ever done ... before ... during ... and likely after his playing president.

looks like you''re suffering a bit of the very condition you describe.

Why in the world would the Democrat Party, who have always been the party of the People, want someone as narrow minded as this fascist. He could join but I doubt any Democrat would vote for him... After all THEY kicked Strom Thurmond and his band of Klan out.

CBS/AP) Barack Obama was poised to reach a major milestone Tuesday in the Kentucky and Oregon primaries - a majority of the pledged delegates offered in the Democratic presidential contest". YOU MEAN THIS IS "MAYBE", "ONLY THE FIRST TIME" HE HAS HAD a majority of the pledged delegates offered in the Democratic presidential contest???

ONLY THE FIRST TIME????

MAYBE????????!

In other words, *HILLARY IS WINNING* !!!!!

Fossella pushed for Washington to pay for their health care - an effort that met with short-term success, but no long-term program.]

an advocate for the little guy ... lobbying for health care?

so ... why was he a republican?

Even though he''s a Repukons ( and God knows I don''t like them), I would let him get back into politics, this is only an affair gone wrong. So what???? he has responsibility of a child and he''s taking it!

[His work in Congress shifted dramatically following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Hundreds of Staten Island residents died in the attacks, and Fossella became a prominent advocate for families of those killed. As more recovery and rescue workers got sick after toiling at the ground zero site, Fossella pushed for Washington to pay for their health care - an effort that met with short-term success, but no long-term program.]

Fossella will drag his resignation out till July so the Republicans won''t lose another seat to a Democrat,
like in Mississippi.

Sing the Democratic theme song: Another one the dust...oh those "family value Republicans"...another one gone.....

The Right really needs to clean it''s own house before telling the rest of us how to live.

I''d sort of like to see him run for re-election just to see what happens!

Would this ''family values'' Republican get re-elected? Or, would he go down in one of the largest, lop-sided defeats in Congressional history?! You know, it might be kind of entertaining to watch?!!

I guess he figured out he couldn''t blame this one on the Dems! I bet his wife wouldn''t even accept that!

Vito probably has Bill Clinton feeling pretty good about himself, too! At least, he''s resigning unlike fellow sleazebags Mr. Vitter or Mr. Craig!

Oh, so good to hear that. Seems I have seen he at an interracial dating club blackcentury.com or somewhere just like that. Not sure whether it is true or not.

Hopefully not just goodbye, but also let us hope for the appropriate legal sanctions for their respective crimes.
