Even Republicans ready to write off Vito Fossella in DWI, lady ‘friend’ scandal

Pressure mounted on embattled Rep. Vito Fossella Wednesday to walk away from his congressional seat in the wake of his drunken-driving bust and relationship with a single mom.

Fossella tried to project calm by attending his eldest son’s Confirmation on Staten Island, but some Republican campaign officials warned donors he was a “huge problem” going into the fall elections.

Some even told donors to withhold checks to Fossella, inside sources said.

Party officials were losing confidence Fossella could hold onto his seat even if he survived fallout from his drunken-driving arrest in Alexandria, Va., last week, the sources said.

The married congressman also faced questions over whether he had a 3-year-old love child with retired Lt. Col. Laura Fay, who rescued him from the drunk tank on Thursday, the sources and others familiar with the conversations said.

“That’s a huge problem for us,” a GOP official told representatives of political action committees who support Republican candidates.

But enough of Republicans! I’m Huff Po Proof! Not that I’m changing the subject or anything, but would you like to comment on any Democrats in the news lately? You can see them here!

I haven’t seen your comments there, bob. You can cut and paste them here!



For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

Proof, I think this is “the perfect example” that defines the difference between Republicans and Democrats. When a Republican errs, as is human, he is still held accountable.
Particularlly when he or she is in a position to impose his or her will on others, accountability is a priority.
With Dems....hey it’s all good, the execption of note is the Ohio ATT GEN. The Detroit mayor? Hey he’s still rockin’, the NJ whatever, it’s okay...and so it goes.


Why pay the price for telling the truth, when lying don’t cost nuthin’ -Mohair Sam

Mohair Sam.  Correct.  Time and time again, Republicans do step down.  They have shame, they are held accountable by their Republican voters.  Democrats on the other hand have virtually no shame.  In fact, they seem comfortable killing people, taking money, having actual homosexual affairs--the very act, not an email to an 18 year old.  Their Democrat voters re-elect them--because they are just like them.  That is The Truth.  Remember SC-6 before redrawing?  Jenrette?

PartisanHackBob: Please explain, in twenty five words or less, why “Republican” offenders are any worse than, say, “Democrat” offenders, or any others.

Why must you try to make everything a partisan issue? Scumbags are scumbags, no matter what their party registration is.

Your faux indignation might have some credibility if you showed it equally to all offenders.

After you,

(Not to totally discount the possibility of dishonesty!)
