Thread: GOP Senator linked to prostitute

Yea, I noticed you didn't say shit about the poster-boy Democrat latino Mayor of L.A. who is plagued by his extra marital affair with a news hottie.

But then.... "Family Value" judgments are only reserved for Republicans. Dems always seem to get a free pass with you.

Oh....did he run on a "family values" platform as well? I thought that was a television reporter, not a prostitute. . .isn't prostitution illegal in Louisiana? So, if Republican breaks the law, it isn't worthy of public scrutiny until years after the fact. . .even though the guy kept running for public office.

And naturally, the most important "value" of Republicans is the right to lie by omission with impunity:

For the first time, Congressman David Vitter has spoken out publically about allegations that he carried on an eleven month affair with a known prostitute named Wendy Cortez.

On WSMB radio last Saturday, a caller who identified himself as Elwood asked Vitter about charges, made by a member of the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee in the Weekly that the then-State Representative, had had an affair with a known prosition in the French Quarter. Elwood continued, "Would you be willing to sign an affidavit that you have ever known, met or had relations with one Wendy Cortez."

Vitter responded, "I think you know that that alligation is abosultely and completely untrue...I have said that on numerous occassions...I'll say that in any forum...Unfortuanately, that's just crass Louisiana politics, now that I am running for the Senate. I have made that clear that it is alll completely untrue...And, it's obviously politically motivated."

In point of fact, Congressman Vitter had previously refused any comment on the charges. The story appeared in this newspaper just days after Vitter dropped out of the race for Governor in June of 2002. The Louisiana Weekly published allegations that Cortez, a known prostitute, claimed that she had an 11-month affair with Vitter, a state representative at the time.

Vincent Bruno, secretary of the Republican Party of Jefferson Parish and a member of the RSCC, alleged that Congressman David Vitter had engaged in an extramarital affair. In what was a high-stakes political battle between some of the most prominent members of the Louisiana Republican Party, Bruno charged that a prostitute, who stated her name to be Wendy Cortez, allegedly confessed to him to having a paid sexual relationship with Vitter.
Three separate and independent sources, including WDSU-TV reporter Richard Angelico, confirmed Bruno's allegation. Each had spoken to Cortez personally, and she recounted to them the details of her alleged affair with Vitter.

Vitter has a 100% positive voting record with the Christian Coalition.

Some famous, typical quotes from the morally-than-thou Senator:

2006 - Gay Marriage Amendment:

"I don't believe there's any issue that's more important than this one," said Sen. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican. "I think this debate is very healthy, and it's winning a lot of hearts and minds. I think we're going to show real progress."

"April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Nothing is more important to Wendy and me than providing a safe and healthy environment for our children to grow up in, and this month is a good time for all of us to reflect on ways we can prevent child abuse and provide a better future for generations to come."

U.S. Sen. David Vitter last week authored a letter to the chairman and ranking member of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee expressing support for reauthorization of the Title V Abstinence Education Program of the Social Security Act. Twelve senators joined Vitter in writing in support of the program.

“This a valuable program with proven results, but it is nearing its expiration. We must reauthorize this program so we can continue the incredible strides we have made in teaching teens about both risk avoidance and protecting themselves from potential abuse,” Vitter said

Louisiana Senator David Vitter, speaking at a Lafayette Parish Republican Executive Committee luncheon, referred to hurricanes Katrina and Rita coming through the same areas as a same-sex marriage.

In his statements at the luncheon, Vitter referred to the impact of both hurricanes on the Lafayette area. "Unfortunately, it's the crossroads where Katrina meets Rita," said Vitter. "I always knew I was against same-sex unions."

"This is a real outrage. The Hollywood left is redefining the most basic institution in human history, and our two U.S. Senators won’t do anything about it.

We need a U.S. Senator who will stand up for Louisiana values, not Massachusetts’s values. I am the only Senate Candidate to coauthor the Federal Marriage Amendment; the only one fighting for its passage. I am the only candidate proposing changes to the senate rules to stop liberal obstructionists from preventing an up or down vote on issues like this, judges, energy, and on and on." stated David Vitter.

Vitter won election that year to replace another "values" member of Congress whose infidelity came out during the campaign.

Who gives a fuck.

In a June 2006 speech:

In a June 9, 2006 speech on protecting the sanctity of marriage, Vitter said, "I am interested in hearing your thoughts on how the U.S. Senate can help protect traditional marriage."

----- how about not hiring hookas?

Asked by an interviewer in 2000 whether she could forgive her husband if she learned he'd had an extramarital affair, as Hillary Clinton and Bob Livingston's wife had done, Wendy Vitter told the Times-Picayune: "I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary. If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."

Please, Republicans - run on "values" and "morality" again.

A politician involved in a sex scandal? Whodathunkit?

I think it's funny that most of the Republicans don't give a rats ass about the Democrats, but the Democrats will seize on anything, even the small shit.

Unless it's a presidents lying in office, they just don't really care.

Mind you, I'm talking about the general public, not the pundits.

Right now I just think there's more dirt on the republicans side than there is with the Dems, I can imagine if it was the other way around.

If you don't think both parties run on the family values card, then I dont know what your smoking.

You surely don't need someone to go back and quote the speeches from "conservative" candidates about moral values. Let's see here. . .adultery, prostitution, lying about it, and then covering it up for years until he got in office and the phone numbers were published - and then suddenly discovering God and all is good.

Let's see. . .the Schiavo marriage was the public's business. . .but Republicans suddenly discover the right to "privacy" - which they claim doesn't exist - when it involves their own.

Reading is fundamental.

ah....back to the ..."but...but Clinton. . ." song-and-dance routine.

We might have to examine whether oral sex was illegal in the District of Columbia involving adults, or if it is considered intercourse. We do assume Monica wasn't working for an escort service.

Now tell us again what the Republicans did to restore faith and dignity and morality and virtue and trust in the government?

Again who gives a fuck?

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that contract that you sign to hold the position of president has some sort of "moral turpitude" clause. It's similar to a clause that's in a police officer's contract.

I'm pretty sure that this covers blow jobs in the oval office by a married man.

By not fronting a Democrat.

Where is that "you deserve a seizure for your posts" image when you need it.

Were both in the middle.
