Greetings to all in this thread from a Louisianian:
I am a constituent of the Senator Vitter, a "family values" man, who paraded his wife before the cameras not long after his admission of his "sin" (He got caught) and she immediately became the dutiful wife (not Bobbett) who had "forgiven" her husband. Sen. Vitter has benefited from all of the lobbyists in D.C. (not including the D.C. Madam), is arrogant in his behavior, and has made many enemies in this state. He also stated on local news that any allegations that he engaged in sexual activities while married BEFORE he was elected to the U.S. Senate are untrue

Local TV stations have carried this news and have not retracted their reporting of the Senators indiscretions. This is the same Senator who wanted to pass laws telling us what we could and couldn't do in the bed room as adults/married couples. His hypocrisy is unbelieveable! The bed room, as well as other places (i.e. Internet) is NOT the purview of Congress since this is supposed to be a Republic and not a Fascist state.
The Republican Party historically believed in limited government, but this Administration constantly from the Patriot Act to the recently passed legislation about warrantless wire tapping has expanded the powers of the Executive Branch until it is an Imperial Presidency
beyond whatever Pres. Nixon could have desired.
People, such as Senator Vitter (who will NOT resign contrary to some expectations), should be sent home from Congress when they stand for re-
election.
