The only thing more selfish than suidice is using an attempted suicide to influence the people that you ‘love’ to get them to stay with you.

Having seen the damage that this selfish behavior can do within the confines of my own family, I for one think that this proves once and for all that the man should resign.

As a man, he has my sympathy for his mental illness and I believe he should get help.

As a politician, he has proven that he holds his wife in utter contempt. And a man who will not keep his word to his wife, will not keep his promises to his constituents either.

And to the guy who made the comment earlier; No. I don’t think someone who cheats on their wife is fit for public office unless they’ve done a LOT of work to redeem themselves.

That means Clinton and Jackson should never run for anything ever again.

Neither should Gingrich and a whole host of current Republican policiticans, some of whom are currently serving and refuse to step down. I don’t care if God forgives you, that doesn’t mean you have not still sullied the office and if you REALLY repented for your actions, then wouldn’t you try to make restition by trying to do the honorable thing and resign?

Those who do this kind of thing and stay in power; Democrat and Republican, unless simply outright denying the charge (which almost always seems to be proven true when made); are not really contrite and not really fit to remain in public service.

Leave him alone. I lost a nephew to suicide. The politics dont interest me. I am glad hes alive. Maybe now he and Susan can go on with their lives and be there for their children. I love this family and my instinct is to protect them. I worked for Glenn for 9 nine years and he is a wonderful person. We were family, I often kept his children and had a wonderful friendship with Susan. Hang in there Glenn.

Glenn is finding solace through God. He knows he sinned and is on the path to redemption. Why am I the only one who feels this way? Because I sinned with the drink many years ago. I ended up spinning out into a Mississippi ditch after going on a five hour whiskey-induced binge. Jesus pulled me from the wreckage and I soon found salvation in the Lord Almighty’s arms. I connect with good, kind, Christian, conservative men like Glenn Beck. I will drive all night to see Glenn in person because he is one of my many heroes who sets a good example daily on his highly successful show. Now, when it comes to Glenn, he IS a good man. How dare anyone question how a decent moral human being simply fell off the tracks and made the wrong choices. Sure, we’re men who have lust in our pants. We all need to control it. Sure, we’re men who let the drink take us over. We all need to control it. Sure, we’re men who may have said the wrong things and hurt those who love us the most. We all need to control it. I control it through the word of God. I love God. I love America. I love the two Glenns.
God Bless, Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas,
Bill Orvis White

as long as you fools defend Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson then you’re remarks ring very hollow.

However, Glenn Richardson has proven himself to be a rather disgusting politician with no morals and I challenge my fellow conservatives to make sure we send Glenn packing and never tolerate any politician conservative or liberal who exhibits this sleazy immoral behaviour.

If this turns out to be a rock solid case, whoever dismissed the ethics complaint is a crook, too.

Shouldn’t that lobbyist be charged with prostitution and Glenn Richardson be charged with pandering? I mean did she not sell sex as part of her lobbying effort and didn’t Glenn partake.

How can anyone justify an elected official accepting sex from a lobbyist. Aren’t there laws against taking bribes?

How can Glenn Richardson even entertain the idea of staying in office?

How can any Christian tolerate a philandering adulterer and bribe taker in office?

A man that cheats on his wife is not moral!!!!

Maybe Glenn Richardson should’ve just said the lobbyist was tying his shoe. Isn’t that right, Casey?

Hey Bill White… If you think Richardson — a man who cheated on his wife and family with a lobbyist he was doing business with — “sounds like a man of honor and integrity.” Then you have to be one of the biggest morons I have ever read on these message boards. You are too stupid to even be called foolish.

Wow! The 11th Commandment is gonna hang these poor GOP schmucks faster than a lynch party could ever hope. Doubling down on a long-known clown like Richardson is NOT how you recover from consecutive beat-downs at the ballot box.

Please keep it up, Republicans. You’ll ensure the Dems have enough of a chance to fix some of your leaders’ massive mistakes over the last decade or so.

The two parties are alike in the sense that they have a lot of incompotent cronies or morons.

But here is the difference:

Ask a Republican what they think of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney or the decision to invade Iraq. Decide for yourself if you feel the same.

The Republican Party has decided that the lesson that they needed to learn is that they weren’t Dick Cheney – like ENOUGH.
