Maybe with Spitzer the real story, ultimately, will be about blackmail and not about money or hooker

[madokie]

One has to admit that he is one tough and tenacious hombre'

I've been loosely following his rise through the years by being a tough prosecutor and wonder if maybe he is getting out in front of a blackmail scheme that is not going as planned for the blackmailers. I truly believe that blackmail is the only thing that covers all the bases with our congress critters allowing this cabal to continue to trample over our constitution and our rights as American citizens. Each of the blackmailed telling themselves that I have to give in because I can't be having this, whatever the blackmailer is using as his tool, come out but I sure hope one of my buddies who maybe isn't so guilty of something will come forward and break the ice on this lawlessness. Being as how it is who it is I have hope that maybe he can make it into what it really is and that is blackmail.
A man can dream can't he???

1. You mean he was blackmailed into paying to have sex with that woman?

[chelsea0011]

3. They are all coming out of the walls, aren't they?

His resignation can't come soon enough.

2. It's One Possibility

Information such as what the Feds have on Spitzer is always a most powerful tool when it doesn't play out in public. I think that truth is a primary reason why the Dems in congress haven't impeached - either someone's got all their chits or they'd rather hold it over the BFEE's head.

Don't you wonder just who was the "federal official" who informed Spitzer he's Client #9?

[madokie]

4. I admit that I buy tinfoil by the big box

so I see a possible conspiracy here. Theres no doubt that if he is, and it sure looks like it, is guilty I have no mercy for him and think he should pay the price but I just might come away from this with a new appreciation of what may be, a busted wide open blackmail attempt by the bush/cheney cabal. These guys are dangerous and getting desperate, and more desperate as each day passes and with each new revelation of this wrong doing or that one. They, bush/cheney are playing for keeps here we must'nt forget.

5. He was blackmailed into sending thousands of dollars to a whore?

'Splain.

[madokie]

7. No I wasn't saying that at all

what I'm alluding to is the human trait that allows him to jump head long into a situation like this and someone taking advantage of that by blackmailing him with it. thats all

[theboss]

8. Well...fuck him

If he didn't want to be blacmailed (which I don't think he was), he should not be banging whores.

[madokie]

12. we agree on that.

Not taking the blackmail lying down is what I'm talking about here though. Its geting out in front and staying out in front and none better to do that than Spitzer. I think someone will be wishing they hadn't opened this particular can of worms before this is all over. No big deal though as its just thinking and typing ;-)

[theboss]

13. I think he resigns in disgrace and is never heard from again

If he can somehow turn spending thousands of dollars on whores into a victory, he is the greatest politician of all time.

[madokie]

17. we're looking at totally different pictures, no problem

and I can see yours too. What I want to come away with is a better understanding of the mechanics of how this washington works not whether he is guilty or not, I think he probably is, but. 'This washington' meaning bushco/cheney

[GodlessBiker]

9. I kind of screws up the blackmailer's plan when you come out and admit it.

[madokie]

11. You bet it does.

and with Spitzer I can see that as whats really going on here.

[acmavm]

6. All I can say is that this is getting embarrassing.

edit: how many bullshit excuses can people come up with anyway?

[madokie]

10. NO whats embarrassing is that someone thinks they should take it upon themselves to police this site

what interest one does not make for all others to follow. If you don't agree or it bothers you in some way then don't pick on that topic, don't come in here and tell me how embarrassing it is to you, I'm not interested it that. I'm interested in the possiblility of what I proposed, nothing more.
peace

16. The only problem, madokie, is that your posts are nonsense.

You can't find a logical trail in your desperate attempt to blame Spitzer's spending on whores on some blackmail attempt.

If he is the victim of a blackmail attempt after he spent $4,000+ per night on prostitutes, that just proves what an arrogant asshole he was to set himself up for blackmail as the governor of NY. He's got to go.

(Your post "If you don't agree or it bothers you in some way then don't pick on that topic"" is a classic post for DU. You apparently only want people who agree with you, instead of those who see through your illogic, to post on this thread. Nice try.) :wtf:

[acmavm]

18. You don't like what you read, don't post. It's that simple. And yes,

you are embarrassing.

[robcon]

19. When I don't like what I read, I post. Sorry, acmavn, this is a political board.

You are the one who should be embarrassed, acmavn.

[acmavm]

20. Whatever chief.

[mdmc]

14. He used these same tools his whole career, to bring down pot smokers

now these tools got him,

[Dreamer Tatum]

15. Exactly

It amazes me the dip, twists, and turns people will attempt here to polish a turd just because of (D) after the name.
The man is a complete and utter hypocrite, plain and simple. Let's say so and move on.
