I have a real problem with elected officials who want to create laws to make us follow "their" standards, while they're not following them themselves. That's when their personal behavior becomes a big deal, and a major election issue.
Kind of like Obama telling people to save their money and not vacation in Las Vegas while he and Michelle take 6-7 summer vacations and a perviously unheard of number of private concerts at the WH all at a tremendous cost to taxpayers? That kind of hypocrisy?
yep, so did JC Watts when he was a very young man, so what is your point? People make mistakes.

Do those 'mistakes' include sending out e-mails which had pictures and videos of women involved with horses?? Images of some Africans running from a plane with a caption Run N****** (not bleeped out) Run. Photoshopped images of Barack and Michelle in some 1970's stereotypical black pimp & prostitute outfits, or videos entitled Obama's inauguration that have African tribal dances in them??
Paladino is not a social conservative. He's a businessman who knows how to run a company, kick a$$ and make a profit. I'll take him over the guy who ran HUD under Clinton and was one of the culprits responsible for the housing collapse and current recession in this country.
Strongly against same sex marriage, the mosque and pro-life, yet not socially conservative?? Interesting....
Not to mention Paladino made his $$$ off the backs of the NY state taxpayers, with government contracts and things of that nature.
The Gov't needed work done. Put out bids and he won the award. Did he do what the contract call for?
By your statement the police and firemen make money on the backs of NY taxpayers.
Seems a little ridiculous to me.
Some of these contracts and the perks associated with them is part of the reason NY is in the fiscal mess it is in. I somehow doubt the guy who got rich off this stuff is going to be the one to clean it up.
