That's a disgusting thing to wish on anyone. Because we are opposed to someone politically we should wish something on him that would devastate his wife and kids?
The English language doesn't have words to express how unimportant your opinion is to me, but in the hopes of educating a sanctimonious hand wringer (that would be you) I'll explain my logic. There are evil people in the world - people who would snuff you and your family out without the slightest hesitation or remorse if it gave them the slightest advantage. Spitzer has repeatedly shown himself to be one of those people As an obvious enemy of freedom - one of those tyrants about whom Thomas Jefferson said "the tree of liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots" no fate is too bad for him.
Now as to the points you raised about his family. First, his wife was right there reaping the fruits of his shakedown of Wall street and his unprincipled destruction of Martha Stewart just for publicity. Spitzer's wife was enjoying and living the good life on the backs of those Spitzer oppressed so she shouldn't get any special consideration. Were you so concerned for the family of Martha Stewart I wonder?
Second as for his children: Look at Nancy Pelosi as a fine example of what the children of crooked politician grow up to be. Her father Tommy D'Alasandro was one of the most corrupt politician in Baltimore City, a city know for its corruption. Pelosi has lived a life of privilege on the backs of the taxpayers her entire life - just like Spitzer's children. Not too much sympathey from me for them. You want to have sympathy for children? Have some for the stockholder of PayPal that Spitzer shook down and cahused problems for just to extory money from.
Spitzer and his ilk are more of the enemies of freedom that any number of Al Qaeda terrorists, and you sanctimonoius hand wringers better learn that or you can kiss the last of your little remaining freedom goodby
“Because we are opposed to someone politically we should wish something on him that would devastate his wife and kids?”
Let me think about that...
Um... Yeah! Absolutely.
