What really matters

Once again Jamie , you are right on key with your comment.
Our society glamorizes mortal bankruptcy and remains brain dead on the very issues that have more impact on our ever day lives.

Mr.Kwame Kilpatrick Sir:
It is way over do and I'm glad its over, now maybe our city can get back on the map and move ahead.

Almost as sad as the actions of some of our leaders is the press's obsession with exploiting the news.

Is there anyone in government who is not morally bankrupt?

this time around we will remeber to apply that the law is no respecter of no body. i do agree ,patrick should answer to the law, on that he does not have any president to pardon him ,as it was in libbys case .

Jamie,
While I agree the press should focus on the issues, I do not want some who lacks morals and integrity representing me. I believe those traits speak volumes about whether I can trust that they have my best interest at heart.

As usual, I agree with you Jami! Its time that we wake up and realize that the 'media' is simply feeding us un improtant stories just to distract us from the real issues. When we elect our officals, we elect them for what they will do for us while in office, not their 'late night expeditions.' NewJersey lost a very good Govenor because of this, and New York as well. Its time that we focus on the pertinent issues to better this society, and not the private lives of men.

I agree !
The relaventcy of the issue gets blurred when you are married, spending more time in the sack that at work, or using public office/position to solicit favors.
It appears the MORAL FIBER of America has a severe tear, that has injured the population as a whole. What happened to "doing the right thing" or when confronted just resign quitely, rather than become a spectical at tax payer expense.

What a person does on their own time is no one's business....

What Kilpatrick did while in office was use City owned property to send text messages to Beatty – also went on 'business' trips with Beatty that were only 'play dates' ** ALL paid for with my tax dollars.
The issues with Kilpatrick started during business hours and fell into his personal time.
He brought it on himself so I would say the majority of what was reported should have been.
He abused his power in office and is a thug in my book.

that is the price one pay-when they seek a public office-they made their bed now they have to lay in it

Politicians...love em or hate 'em
