For being linked to a prostitution ring, the impeachment of Governor Eliot Sitzer is may be sought in the immediate future.

Not only was he reelected a few years ago, it looks like he’s going to finish up his second term. He should have been booted out ages ago!
Okay, I understand that a person of authority should have a better-than-average personal life. I understand that what they do affects themselves, their family, and even their constituents to an extent.
However, I wonder why it is we look to boot people out of office over personal matters (Bill Clinton, anyone?), yet when someone is literally messing up the country, foreign affairs, another nation, and more (George W.), we let him complete his term(s).
Why?
When I was in high school, I thought Clinton should be thrown out of office. A few years ago, I defended George W. Bush’s war whenever I had the chance. Looking back even at those things, I have no idea why I thought that way.
Maybe it’s the sweet Florida air affecting my judgment, but why conservatives react the way they do to the actions of politicians is beyond me.
