Ethics in government

I know very few people have read this blog and as a private citizen I do this for my personal benefit for the most part. But a big part of me wants you, the public, to know that somethings have gone awry. A biggy is ethics.

Ethics in government has gone awry for sometime and it's latest victim, Eliot Spitzer (D) is having to learn a hard lesson. Or is he? People who hold public office must know that we the people put them in their seats of power to effective run the state or nation that we happen to be a part of. Therefore any illegal activity they commit is a crime and they should be prosecuted the same way as a private citizen. And if a private citizen were involved in prostitution as he was, the judgement would be of the severest extent of the law. And in hindsight (or foresight) I think Eliot Spitzer is going to get away with it and have his hand slapped.

Bill Clinton (D) was a victim for this as well, however he didn't have to pay for Monica sucking cock. He got it for free. The episode resulted in part to not managing his office and did not allow him to act effectively. Remember we were attacked by terrorists a couple of times during this scandal. He should have been charged with high crimes and misdemeanors for not protecting our sovereign assets abroad (most notably the Embassies in Africa or the USS Cole to mention a couple). His impeachment did not go far enough and all that happened to him was a slap on the wrist. And even though he was able enough to rise above the disgracement, he should have lost alot more.

Now, I for one believe that the sexual scandal(s) Bill was in are no different than Eliot's. They should have been charged accordingly. End of story. Any other person of a private nature would have been charged to the fullest extent of the law and these people we elect are getting away with "murder". It is unacceptable.

And in Bill's case, he should have been impeached and prosceuted long before Monica came around as he allowed terrorists to attack our interest on several occasions, obstructed justice in the Foster "suicide", and never had that rat bastard bin Laden killed by a sniper round because he wanted to play his round of golf. Heck, he even lost the codes our nuclear arsenal on one occassion. And if anyone cares to research this... please read Dereliction of Duty by LTC Patterson, USAF.

What I'm trying to say is, it is time to take our government back and not allow people in our government who promise us things and not provide it. Statement in point is when Bill promised us his government would be the most ethical one in history. He was dead wrong.

Hope to see the comments. Enjoy your day.
