Although politicians should have the decency to resign, voters need to have the awareness to vote them out of office if necessary. I don’t live in Detroit, but would be absolutely ballistic at Kilpatrick’s abuses if I did.

I’m not sure if you’re a Detroiter. As a Metro Detroiter, Kilpatrick’s actions astound me. Despite the fact that he’s been caught up in his lies, there are still voters that continue to support him. Why? I have no idea.
The disturbing trend (the fact that some of these individuals are still in office or running for further office) I think signals these voters’ gullibility. When you have people who sleep with their friend’s wife, steal money, receive inappropriate gifts, etc, it shows their lack of integrity. If these people lie about their actions, then what else are they lying about?
In closing, I think that the incidents that you mentioned not only signal a disturbing trend among politicians and but also among American voters. If voters aren’t very smart, then they’ll elect people with questionable intelligence.
