Politicians are never honest. They are never liars as well, until they are caught. Even when caught they will do just about anything to cover up their wrong doings. From lies to cheats, politicians think they can get away with just about anything. Here are just few examples.
1. Laxman Savadi & C.C. Patil:
The Indian Minister for Cooperation and the Minister for Women and Child Development quit their posts in February of 2012. A tape showed both watching porn while sitting in the state assembly. The owner of the phone was Minister for Ports, Science and Technology. He also quit. All 3 were part of an ultra-conservative party.
2. Eliot Spitzer:
In 2008, it was announced that this New York governor was resigning from office following revelations that he was having an affair with a prostitute. It turns out that he was a frequent client of Emperors Club VIP. Since the scandal, he has made a turnaround. He is now a family man who is also a regular columnist for Slate.
3. Rod Blagojevich:
This Illinois governor was accused of trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama's senate seat to highest bidder. This is the most humiliating behaviour exhibited yet. Of course he denied any wrongdoing. He believed that the truth was his honest ally.
4. Iris Robinson:
This Northern Ireland politician is known for her anti-gay stance. She is married to the first minister, Peter Robinson. She believes that gays could be cured and can become heterosexual, especially in her 2008 comment. She even went out to compare gays to pedophiles. Upon resignation, she revealed that she had an affair with a younger man. This affair caused her mental health issues. The male was underage.
5. George Allen:
This Virginian senator got unwanted publicity at a rally where he pointed to a tracker sent by James Webb and his campaign. The tracker called the man a macaca-an African monkey (a racial slur). He also made mistake of repeating the word a number of times.
6. Chris Myers:
This mayor in New Jersey is one man who allegedly performed monstrosity. He was caught having a dangerous liaison with someone other than his wife. The person was a prostitute and a male and actions took place in a sleazy hotel. Myers refused to comment on allegations. The person who leaked the photos over the internet was the prostitute himself.
7. Mildred Fernandez:
In February of 2012, Fernandez was sentenced to 22 months in jail. A videotape caught her taking cash for her campaign from an agent who was working undercover. Fernandez pleaded no contest to the allegations. She got the minimum sentences required for such crimes.
8. Daniel Vitter:
This senator is a republican from Louisiana. He has consistently voted against gay rights and is purely puritan in his platform. In 2007, revelations were made about him. His number was included and published on a phone records list from Pamela Martin and Associates. Pamela Martin & Associates was accused by the government of prostitution services. Vitter received 5 calls from this service.
9. Phillip Hinkle:
I really believe that much of the Republican Party is pro-gay. They are only against the policy because of a strong belief and spirit inside the party. Phillip Hinkle, who claimed to be an anti-gay politician was caught hiring a male prostitute through Craigslist. A sugga daddy for $80 plus tips was offered.
10. Chris Lee:
This man disowned Craigslist in public. In private he sent correspondences to a woman, including topless pictures. He claimed he was divorced, which was untrue. I am sure kids will now take him seriously, especiallyu his warnings against using Craigslist.
