Oops, that's my number (Senator Vitter)[MULTI-MERGED]

By the way, there are several notorious right-leaning posters who tend to be very active in many of our political discussions at saintsreport that have managed to somehow remain silent on this one. Guess they are too busy at work today. I'm sure they'd be equally busy if it had been Nagin.

You all know who you are that I am writing about. Pipe up, we want to hear your point of view.

And to be fair, I am not a republican hater. I am liberal, no doubt, but I don't believe in being on the Democrat team or the Republican team and hating the "enemy" team/party like they are the Atlanta Falcons or Osama bin Laden. I am embarrased of Democrat Bill Jefferson and of the fact the he was reelected and infuriated that this came out when he had such a high position and in a time when our area needed him the most.

With all due respect, you really don't want to hear what they have to say. While you claim not to believe in either party's team, you are doing exactly what those parties want you to do--you're playing their game. If you want to call out this particular Senator's hypocrisy, that is one thing, but to try and make this a "conservative" vs. "liberal" (while avoiding the terms Republican and Democrat) is still a Republicrat tactic (in this case, I guess we could call it "Liberative"--with apologies to Bulldawg). This is nothing more than the same "gotcha" politics we have been getting for years. If we keep voting these people in, we will continue to get stuff like this.

Meanwhile, nothing is getting done in D.C.
