OK

I still like Pete Demenici. I was involved in NM GOP Politics during some of his term. He did good work.

I am sorry for his wife. I am sorry for his son. I am sorry for the family.

If he were a Democrat this wouldn’t be a big deal. Clinton would be high-fiving him.....

I guess because it shows the games powerful men play with young women never change; somehow the country goes on . The one that really floored me was Henry Hyde. After that, the Vitters, Ensigns, etc. that keep rolling through just seem like part of the Washington wallpaper.

I am sorry that Domenici is such a freaking D%head and should be ostracized for life.
Living a lie as a US Senator sets you right up for blackmail....Gee ... do ya think that’s why Barky “retired” him?

Get a Grip!

The mother was 24 yrs old and her father was a colleague. Unbelievable.

The Domenici’s are a great family. Pete is a good man who, like us all, has his failings and times where he does not live up to his best expectations. Not that it makes for an excuse, but I do know that at the time Pete and Nancy were going through some very hard times due to the health problems of one of their children.
I’ll pray for the family, and I will continue to admire them.

He was a horrible example of a human being. My happiest day was his departure. What a liar.

If he resigned and left town to get right I could be impressed. Instead, he stayed in Washington, lying to his wife and denying his son, all the while trying to force through federal laws forcing us all to pay for insurance coverage for mental illness because one of his daughters has schizophrenia.

Well, Well, Well

Where are you from? Don’t expect you to be here long.

I knew Pete Domenici and he was not as you describe.

I was at one time GOP County Chairman in a county in NM. Lived there for 14 years. I knew many of the public officials.

I make no excuses for his actions that are revealed, but I do know things he did accomplish that were very good for the nation.

when one sees irresponsible conduct from Republicans, especially those who bend over for OBAMA, sell out morality,always look like their just coming home from a vacation, have superlib wives that the media doesnt report on, one can see how democrats and their “outing” experts exercise power over the republicans...the reps had the chance to defund obama/central planned healthcare but punked out...one wonders why ?

Texas fossil or New Mexican. He was horrible and became a RINO before our eyes. But worst of all — he was an unfaithful lying hypocrite. Thanks for your kind remarks. You do have a good Governor now over there.
