he done goofed
He responded to an escort / hooker add placed by law enforcement.
Doesn’t say anything about children. So he was trying to pay for some pussy? It’s pretty terrifying that you can get arrested for something we all do - sometimes less directly/transactional
Politicians lie about being religious because people are hypocritical and expect politicians to be religious. Ultimately it is the fault of mainstream society.
Yes it is the people, because they are the ones who hypocritically demand politicians be religious.Oh, blame it on the people for being lied to. That's great reasoning right there.
We hope politicians would be religous so they'd fear the consequences of their actions in either this life or the next.
Child Porn / Sex Trafficking is a problem among the powerful of BOTH parties, Hollywood, Banking/Wallstreet, and world leaders.
I'll say the exact same thing about this Democrat that I said about the Republican - "If true, I hope he's tried, sentenced, and publically disgraced."
Well, the "b-both sides" mask fell off pretty quickly there.Regardless, Democrats are the absolute worst kind of liars - the ones that want absolute control and are willing to do and say anything to get it.
I was just going to say, once again not surprised based off his hairlineDidn’t read just looked at pic
He’s Guilty
Huh? They're not entitled to the gig and if they're lying to get it then they've already shown they're not suited for the job.Politicians lie about being religious because people are hypocritical and expect politicians to be religious. Ultimately it is the fault of mainstream society.
How is it hypocritical?Yes it is the people, because they are the ones who hypocritically demand politicians be religious.
People want their representatives to represent them and their values, what's wrong with that?Being religious or proclaiming to be religious has never stopped people from being total dickheads, so why would people think being religious would put the fear of god into politicians?

Also as @GearSolidMetal is intentionally failing to point out, this particular case (while despicable) has nothing to do with child crimes. This is a false equivocation and he knows it.

Politicians are always going to put on a front, that's not unique to th US and certainly happens in Westenr Europe. The difference is Westenr European countries are the opposite and in places like France they tend to shun religious folks from the public sphere and politics. I prefer US secualrism over French secularism.The reason politicians have to go throught this theatre of outward religiosity is because they know the American people expect their elected representatives to be religious. Western Europe is far more honest and is far less pretentious in this regard
Democratic politics are always going to incentivize a charade of sorts, your problem here then should be with religion but with democracy.Because the value in question is religiosity and subsequently the percevied fear of god, which is all just theatre. Society should be honest as much as possible, and refrain from going along with a charade.
Legalized prostitution is still associated with criminality in the Netherlands and it doesn't stop human trafficking. It's an exploitative "industry" through and through.
But the reason our politicians put up this particular front, is because society demands it. If society was more honest, they wouldn't have to keep this charade going.Politicians are always going to put on a front, that's not unique to th US and certainly happens in Westenr Europe.

So you wrongfully assume that @blaseblah is an atheist just because he's on the left, then you assume that ALL of those politicians are atheists who are lying about being religious (probably wrongfully again for most, if not all of them), then you refer to atheists as a "religious group" and claim that they wouldn't vote for a fellow atheist.They all claim to be religious.

You atheists understand the *wink*wink* because polls show that most religious groups, including atheists, wouldn't vote for an atheist.
So, they do what politicians already do best, they lie. Running for office basically is the longest job interview ever to test how many lies they can tell to convince the most voters.
And once they're caught doing horrible shit... you atheists say 'Well, they're religous. No surprise there" as if atheists haven't committed some of the most monsterous acts in human history.

Jesus Christ man, you should be able to reason and think better than this, but you're willfully ignorant due to being a rank partisan hack. You can and should be better than this. This is SAD.

<Lmaoo>
Why is @GearSolidMetal trying to connect this case of soliciting a prostitute to child porn/sex trafficking?
Oh nevermind, I know why.. Cause TS is a shameless liar and a biased partisan hack
