All morality aside, one must consider that Spitzer was a very vocal and dangerous critic/crusader against the Bush administration’s complicity in the predatory lending crimes that have spiked in the last few years. Read Spitzer’s own editorial in the Washington Post from Feb. 14th, 2008, and you’ll see why this really happened. He was calling the administration out for their CRIMES. This was a political assassination, and one that every citizen of the country should be deeply concerned about. This goes beyond any silly, petty Republican/Democrat bickering. This is the Bush administration silencing its critics by any means necessary.
This type of authoritarianism should not be tolerated. It’s time people wake up to the reality of what’s being done to their rights and freedoms.
For the record, I have no political affiliation with any party (in fact, I despise our current two-party system, along with our Founding Fathers). So do not reply to this as if I’m some “liberal”. Wake up people.
