Republicans are Hypocrits and Fools.

Earlier today I wrote and called for Congressman Anthony Weiner of New York to resign. This makes sense for Mr. Weiner, the Democratic Party and for his constituents. We all need to be able to move beyond the circus surrounding this event and get to the problems facing America. Listening to the different news and talk shows that I usually watch, one thing became abundantly clear. Republican leaders are the most hypocritical people around. Eric Cantor, the number two Republican in the House of Representatives, stated that Mr. Weiner should resign now. This is the same Eric Cantor, that when asked about Senator David Vitter, his response was we should pray for his family, and the choice for him to leave should be made by the people he represents. Vitter is the Louisiana Senator, who solicited prostitution from the D.C. Madam. This is a crime in both D.C. and his home state. When Senator John Ensign of Nevada, was caught having an affair with one of his employees wife, Cantor gave the same advice about prayer and the voters. When Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina was caught slipping off to Argentina to meet his mistress, guess what Mr. Cantor's response was? Yes, again the prayers for his family and let the voters decide. What is the difference between Mr. Weiner and the others mentioned above? They are Republicans and Mr. Weiner is a Democrat. Mr. Cantor has been joined by the head of the Republican party, as well as a whole group of Republican lawmakers. All I can say, is the Republicans, have two sets of standards. One for their people and another for non Republicans. I happened to believe that we need to start and do what is in the best interest of the country, not what is best for the Republicans or Democrats to get elected. We need to set a high standard for ourselves and for our leaders. When we stop accepting the bad decisions and behavior of everyone, ourselves included, we can start to solve the problems facing America.
