Prosecuting Johns

Liberals so called Liberals- Liberty was not instituted as an excuse for inmorality and murder but this is why America is going down. Immorality has become a way of life among this nation and noone cares. Who pays, our children. Thanks to the Liberals our children will see abortion, adultury and all other immorality as they grow up and then we make believe we are upset. Guess what- that is what American's have voted for immorality. In our schools, in our government, in our churches- our founding Fathers are frowning at America today. I pray that God helps all of you out there because I know where I am standing... Do You?

I think it is the right move to not prosecute. It would cost New Yorkers thousands of dollars that we can not afford. Spitzer will be paying for his sins for the rest of his life. Putting him in jail would have cost even more, politician or not. There are murderers, rapists, child abusers (list goes on and on) that is where the attention should go. Politicians will be bad (99% of them) on either side of the rope. I think it was the right move, let Spitzers wife, family and professional connections take care of him. I am sure he will be paying for a long time.

On February 26, 2008, Alycia Martin's case made national headlines when US Senator Debbie Stabenow's husband, Thomas Athans, was questioned and released as part of the investigation into a prostitution ring at the Troy, Michigan hotel.
Athans, who was pulled over by Troy police the night of Feb. 26, admitted to officers during a traffic stop that he met a woman online and paid her $150 for oral sex at the hotel. Troy police learned Athans had a suspended driver's license but released him without arrest, expecting his cooperation in the criminal case against Martin. Martin was arrested several hours later and charged with prostitution. Martin's story of recovery and survivorship is on her blogspot site set up by her pro bono attorney Frank Cusumano, Jr.

Athans was never charged in the case and never testified.

Say the guy is a Democrat -

It must feel good to be a demo-crap. Nothing sticks as they decieve the public.
The Chickens will come home to roost.

How so very interesting that the media at large has ceased to identify the adulterous politician with the Democratic Party when every effort is made to exploit the transgressions of another party, be that Independent, Republican or Libertarian. Myopic versions of life as posted in the press that wants to be the voice of neutrality. Bah!

Eliot Spitzer's a Democrat. The rules/laws don't apply to them. Why is anyone even questioning this. We have more inportant things to deal with in this country.

I am glad they are not prosecuting - it would have cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars and quite frankly spitzer will be paying for this for the rest of his life. New York has no money - why spend more trying to put a the guy in jail, we have murderers that get out in short time who should be spending more time in jail. Like I said he has paid professionally and personally and will be for many years to come. What he did was shameful and as a New Yorker it was very disappointing. I think it was the right choice to make it go away for the public.

i can't understand someone explain this to me you steal from Uncle Sam ( IRS) (taxes) AND YOU GET PRISON TIME AND LOSE YOUR BELONGINGS BUT if your a goverment employee you use gov and our money you get a slap on the hand. Isn't it still stealing.

The extraordinarily sexist state of affairs reached its zenith recently when Thomas Athans, husband of Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), was observed by cops entering and leaving a hotel in Troy, Mich., that was under surveillance for prostitution. Athans confessed to paying $150 for oral sex. Athans, 47, was not arrested. The 21-year-old prostitute was. Adding insult to injury, Athans was expected to testify against the woman at her evidentiary hearing! She pleaded guilty, and Athans never had to appear.

I don't know why here in the U.S. make a big deal about prostitution, all over the world prostitution is practiced and perhaps that is why in Europe there is a low percent of murder and rape, will it be because there they made it legal, the prostitute are kept under control when it comes to the spread of venereal diseases, and the states tax the prostitutes and tap into the wealth of the millions of $US by controlling prostitution.
Prostitution have been around from a long, long time, so says the bible.

prosecute for getting your dick wet...
you are off the map crazy...
this whole thing is crazy...
the red light district was created because some men need to burn off excess energy..
criminalize imperative because smeone needed some relief
Eliot warts and all I wish we had him back
I would call him back in a NY minute if it was possible
the lions were less proud and the jackals more circumspect
you are both idiots

This is not about whether sex is natural or not, it's about morality, or the lack of...and ethics or morals have to do with inner standards of self respect, self esteem, a feeling of accountability to society. Trying to keep a clean conscience now days is not easy, but it is possible. To breech this standard is an unhealthy act of abuse not only against himself but against his trusted circle of influence, family and most certainly against the girl. demonstrates

what a dam joke seriously now why why why did they let his ass off ythe hook why why why...

Alan Dershowitz has no morals or soul either!!
