CNN-- Chandra
MSNBC-- Chandra
ABC-- tonight, 'the latest on the dissappearance of...'
Court TV-- 'and later, an interview with FBI profiler...'
What doesn't make as much sense is the apparent lack of CARE that Californians have that their lovable congressman was indeed...no family man.
In fact, Condit has spent the better part of many years cheating on his wife, and if you believe the worst, has done so with men as well. We've had accusations and gossip ladies and gents,
and all we need now is the recently found videotape.
Of all pledges we take in life, of all the contracts we sign, of all the oral agreements we make, job offers taken in print....NOTHING rises to the level of marriage. It is the union of man and woman, an economic contract which is recognized by the LAWS of every state. And although we all know what questions will be asked in the ceremony, none of us are surprised that the same questions are always asked....over and over...in each and every wedding.
That's because in one sense, a wedding is the proclaimation of everlasting love and committment. By the very definition of it we are putting our credibility on the line.
Condit has been a dismal failure as a man because he REFUSED to keep his wedding vows.
Actually, and I say this clearly and with utmost resolve-- guys like Condit make me SICK.
I think he is a piece of crap. And I'd say that no matter which party he was in. When you look at the cheating husband paradigm, it always ends up with tons of hurt people. Even more than that, the cheater TAKES OUT OF PLAY a woman who would be available for other men. In other words, with Condit's wife at home waiting on him, he already HAD HIS WOMAN. To further screw it all up, he is seeing Chandra on the side. So in essence, he was taken her 'out of the running'...
therefore guys like him make it even harder for the young males who would naturally be asking Chandra out! There's one less Chandra to ask out.
This economic way of looking at the fact that America is 51% female and 49% male (they outlive us so there are always a little more women than men) shows you yet another tragedy of his affair.
Regardless of whether Condit had her killed or not, and even if she turns up alive, the man should RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.
By not doing so shows you quite a bit of his VANITY and CONCEIT, and actually the lack of morality among his own constituents. He has been a failure as a man. He PLEDGED his vows on his own integrity and honour and character, and if he had wanted to cheat he should have gotten a divorce. By doing so anyway he dishonours himself, and congress.
We have a RIGHT TO EXPECT a decent level of integrity in our leaders.
When they dissappoint by falling into moral decay like this man did, they should resign and go home. Let another person lead.
Wanna know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see some blue dress wearing, heel clicking republican women in the House of Representatives. Heck, if the men can't do better than Condit did, this ole southern boy will vote for a woman in a heartbeat!
Another point I wonder about: if HALF of that house of representatives were women, would there be more of a call for Condit to resign?
The man has GOT TO GO. The sooner the better. He's a disgrace to us all, and there really ARE men who have gotten married and gone their whole lives without cheating on their wives. Those men, who have raised children, and sacrificed for their wives and children, are the KNIGHTS among us.
If you can look yourself in the mirror, and every man has to when he SHAVES, and look at your wedding band and say to yourself that you never cheated, then you have PROVEN to the world what is the finest calling for a man--
to love a woman, and love her with all your resolve and might...
in that sense, the lowest janitor you've ever seen who remained faithfull, the married and FAITHFULL garbage man on the back of a garbage truck...is TEN TIMES the man that Condit is.
As John Cougar Mellancamp once said...
an honest man's pillow is his peace of mind.
So let it be written; so let it be done.

Condit rode oversight as a minority member of Defense Construction Appropriations for several years.
Could there have been a devious defense Section 8A contractor wanting to curry favor with the Congressman, and was an offer made to Condit that he couldn't refuse by subjugating this defenseless, bright young woman, killing her, and dumping her body under a parking lot?
There's the ruse of a meeting in Virginia, a pickup at a cafe, some high-powered date rape drugs laced with Starbucks, some additional ingested sodium penathol cocktailed with powdered laudanum or cyanide (procured from intelligence discard packets at Langley), and away we go to a low profile Army base outside the prying eyes of DC officialdumb.
Fort Lee is an "open" post, not requiring complete physical inventory searches, and the contractor probably had a DoD window tag current if there was an occasional MP stop. Large portions of Fort Lee are being cleaned up due to toxicity and armament issues, and many people leave contractors alone when poking around RCRA or Superfund sites.
I understand one of the parking lots is near a new armament staging area.
Do the math.
Condit needs a flushing NOW!

History aside, what is marriage. The idea that two people promise to be with one another and love each other until the day they die. Realistic? No. People change. Not neccesarily good or bad change but just change. With this change comes new viewpoints and passions. When two people start to develop these new ideas and emotions it's only reasonable to assume that their feelings for each other will change.
Many couples agree. Backup plan is to work at a union. Passions may calm and things might change but if you work hard enough you can make something out of it. Problem is you end up enslaving yourself and your partner to benefit a institution that in reality means little to nothing now.
Make no promises, have no expectations.
I haven't researched the Condit incident to comment intellegently on it. I don't think, however, that you should oust on an official because he goes agaisnt a personal moral conviction. Everyone goes against a personal moral conviction becasue each of us has different moral convictions. And different degrees of faith in these moral convictions. What matters is how Condit's actions effect his abilities as a public servent and the well being of other citizens.
A broken heart sucks but I don't see how it would endanger the well being of another.

Perverted ilk like Gary ConDONT deserve to be kicked out of Congress on their head and shot!
