Isn't it a crime to solicit a prostitute?
It seems many communities arrest the "Johns" as well as the prostitute...so, why isn't there a public outcry for his resignation as well as for his prosecution?
Your thoughts?

Indeed he should, since prostitution (and the solicitation thereof) are crimes. However, they are misdemeanors so he wouldn't be removed from office for that. There may be other rules calling for his removal, but no politician wants that--how many would have to leave office for having a little interest on the side, hm?
That being said, let me add that prostitution shouldn't be illegal in the first place. Why should there be a law against two adults engaging in an economic transaction? One person is selling a service and another person is willing to pay for that service--isn't that the foundation of the capitalist system?

If you get caught in the act yes. If it is because a maddam has your phone number there is no crime in that.
I'll tell you what is a crime...
Being caught by the FBI with stolen Katrina money in your freezer. William Jefferson (D) Louisianna.
Shouldn't thre be a public outcry over this?
Hypocritical on your part.

If the investigation reveals that's what he did, and it appears that's what he did, he should be prosecuted like anyone else.
More importantly he will have to face God one day and answer to God why he felt it was okay to attack and harm God's gay children while committing adultery.

Barney Franks didn't get touched and he was running a male escort service out of his DC apartment.
