US Congressman Weiner's Scandal - Why Is There No Topic Yet? by JeSoul(f): 4:57pm On Jun 08, 2011
ehn Prez? is it because he's a democrat? Lol.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/06/08/weiner.risk.behavior/index.html

After a weeklong Twitter saga, U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, who represents New York's 9th Congressional District, confessed Monday that he sent lewd photos of himself to women, had inappropriate online relationships and had lied about them.

Photos of the married congressman in his underwear surfaced last week, turning Weiner into the center of a possible ethics investigation and an easy target in late-night comedy jokes.

Weiner joins a slew of high-profile men with sex scandals, such as former presidential contender John Edwards, who could face jail time, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Nevada Sen. John Ensign.

Some people should not be allowed to use social networks . . . all this because he mistakenly posted it publicly instead of via PM. Useless man, see how you've embarrased your beautiful, extremely intelligent and accomplished and well liked wife angry

Him and his wife look a-like.

Besides as Prez will tell you, dems promote moral bankruptcy so you can't hold them to any standards. Its rep who should be held to account.

Democrats are hypocrites the same Nancy Pelosi the minority leader who called Christopher Lee to step down over a shirtless picture online  couldn't ask the same from her fellow democrat for an X rated picture of his private  posted

I'm no longer interested in US politics. Democrats are whimpy, not worth my time. I hear democrats are asking him to resign. But let me ask,
did he break the law?
Is his job affected by his stupidity?
What are his constituents saying?

America, in my opinion, is a morally bankrupt society. Democrats don't pretend about it, unlike republicans. Yet it doesn't stop them from doing their job. If I'm an American citizen, I'm interested in someone who will represent me in congress. Someone who can match the madness from the right fire for fire. Seiner may be stupid, but he does the job.

I remember Clinton was also stupid, so stupid that al gore sidelined him during the 2000 campaign and paid dearly for it. We got 8 yrs of bush for that. Sadly. When governor sandford slept with another woman, left his job, went to Argentina, I didn't hear many republicans ask for his resignation from congress. Eric cantor asked for him to be forgiven. Yet democrats are lining up to ask their fighter in congress to resign bc of women he has yet to meet.

New yorkers still want him, who are congressional democrats to boot him out. Anyway like I said, democrats are whimpy idiots, from the white house to the gutters they are all sick.

I'm not interested anymore. Don't call me. When I return to the states I'll just mind my business and damn the politics. I'm glad the republicans are hammering the mid western states. Attacking the unions and changing voting rules. By the time republicans rule for another ten yrs America will run for cover. By then I will be laughing in Chinese.

Abeg gerraway jor grin Your double standard is making me dizzy  grin
Suddenly the character and 'stupidity' of a politician does not matter. Oh really? Why weren't you saying this on your Schwarz' thread ehn? Instead body was shacking you as you were gleefully mocking republicans, now you want to be sober and say 'it does not matter' as long as they do their job? grin If so why have you been hounding Palin as well? if she's really stoopid it should not matter abi? as long as Alaskans rated her job performance by almost 70%? ehn Prez? yeye boy like you.

A person's qualifications for serving in public office is not limited to merely "can they get the job done" but rather we take into account the full package - their character, history, beliefs, performance, family, skills etc etc. That said, I could care less whether he resigns or not - that is up to his district and constituents. I only pity his poor wife in all this, what a lovely woman to be suffering all this nonsense.

Dear Jesoul
I made fun of arnie, yes. The republicans have every right to make fun of weiner. That's not my point. Anyone who wants can make fun of him. His long time friend and fellow Jew Jon Stewart is making fun of him too. So what?

My issue is with the democrat party. They've already lined up to bury their colleague. While weiner is inexcusable, I felt if the democrats were 'man enough' they'll at least keep quiet and not bebthe ones to strike him. David vitter is still in the senate. The other one from Nevada stayed until it was impossible to continue, he was gonna loose in his home state so he left.

Let the new yorkers fire him ifthey want. My worry is that without weiner, the liberals have nobody in DC anymore. Obama, Reid, all wimps. Pelosi is virtually alone. Senator brown( Ohio) would soon loose.

Republicans are wrecking havoc in the Midwest ad now have succesfully taken down the attack dog for liberals, just watch how democrats will go down for a long time. I was so pissed.

Anyway have fun. Love ya( not that kind of love o)

Armyofone
when you marry( if not married already) you may then understand why men cheat. I'm single, engaged, broke off, engaged again, broke off again. After 2 of my friends divorced and one is going thru hell, marriage has become scarry and I have cold feet. Last thing I want is a woman taking my kids away and asking me to pay for it.

  And by doing so be guilty of hypocrisy? No Prez. Charity begins at home your own party. When the next republican to fall by way of sexual misconduct they will have full right to bring down the hammer - and rightfully so.

  As for the "republicans wreaking havoc in the Midwest" abeg do expound on that cos me I no understand wetin you mean. As far as I'm concerned Weiner is not some kind of bigshot, important mover and shaker in DC. If he left, at least he will be replaced by someone with all the screws in their brain intact. I mean yes we all do stoopid things, but waxing your chest and privates and then taking pictures and then logging on to the internet and then sending it to multiple women . . . that is a whole nother level of idiocy previously unmatched.

Anyway have fun. Love ya( not that kind of love o)
You know I love you too sweerie smiley I couldn't pass up this chance to draw you out and make fun of you grin

Wow. My dear Prez this is really something to hear. Sorry oh you've had some tough luck. Its all about shining your eyes when picking your spouse . . . all these people who say 'things changed blah blah blah' its because they went into it with eyes in the sky and their brains disconnected and high off good sex. The one problem in 99% of marriages/relationships is SELFISHNESS.

India Arie: " I've found the game of love is about how much you can take, but authentic love is about how much you can give".

If both sides approach the relationship like this, tell me what good thing either one will lack? You sef, have you approached your relationships thinking only about how you can please her without wanting anything in return?

it's a tough economy and he forgot there are many people who would love to have his job, i guess.

anyway, wishing him luck in his future endeavours.

I laugh today when he mentioned that he owes a debt to his parents for instilling morality into him  what morality?
does he mean cheating? sextexting women ? lying to the public friends family wife media and colleagues?
The guy is a joke saying he is for middle class when he really cares about is himself so no one will miss him here
his wife Huma Abidin is not Arabian she is Indian
Re: US Congressman Weiner's Scandal - Why Is There No Topic Yet? by preselect(m): 3:29am On Jun 17, 2011
Democrats say weiner was a distraction for them. Now that he has left, Let me see the next excuse democrats in congress will give or their laxity.
For once I disagree with Aunty Nancy. I pity the poor Americans, the republicans are Laying a great foundation for a decimation of the liberal agenda.
First the republicans took out acorn
then they took out the unions
now they are hammering targeted democratic "hitmen". Weiner was one congressman I love to watch on the floor of the house. He's out. (obviously due to his stupidity, but I see a bigger picture. This is the finger of GOP)

Kuccinic is out( his constituency eliminated by republican governor of Ohio)
weiner out
my favorite congressman from Florida out
next target, senator brown of Ohio.
Interesting.

Don't mind them jare. That's the story they all say whenever they're caught in such situations "I was raised better" "My family this, my family that" *hiss* and he's receiving 'therapy' and 'treatment' for his 'condition' . . . I wonder, is there treatment for being a liar? cheat? shameless man?

What in the world are you talking about? angry

Did the republicans put him under mind control and trick him into taking multiple unclothed pictures of himself and his stick? Have you seen those pictures? Do you see what a shame & disgrace they are? Did the republicans make him post them on twitter? did the republicans make him send those unclothed and lewd pictures to countless women? including one a teenage girl?

Just like conspiracy theorists who blame the west for everything, you always find a way to blame republicans for everything. The next time you blow a tire, or burn your fried rice, or stumble on an exam, or anything else, just blame the republicans - that seems to be just about the only card you know how to play . . . so go 'head - just blame the republicans.

typical jesoul/tayo d methodology. pick a piece and make a story.
you conviniently left out where i said . . . .''obviously due to his own stupidity'' and focussed on ''the finger of gop'' , ignored the fact that i was trying to explain the gop game plan into which weiner's calamitous libidinal attitude fit, and rather interpreted that i was trying to blame gop for his sexting.

the guy is gone, abeg change topic. and tell nancy pelosi and whatever is left of the liberals in congress that 24hrs after weiner, i'm yet to hear anything new in congress that weiner's act was distracting.

next topic pls
Re: US Congressman Weiner's Scandal - Why Is There No Topic Yet? by JeSoul(f): 8:50pm On Jun 17, 2011
^I didn't leave anything out jor. You may want to read your own post again - this time in its entirety and see the message you're passing across. The gop had absolutely nothing to do with Weiner's departure and using catch-words like 'targeted' and 'finger in it' insinuates that his exit was part of some grand scheme by those evil republicans 'targeting' liberal politicians. As if the whole of congress is not one giant mudpit full of predators going after each other.

If you had no intent to implicate the gop even on a minute level, you could've simply said "weiner resigns due to his own stupidity" - just like every other poster before you had done.

But anyways, as you go home tonight, remember when the traffic light changes from green to red before you can go, don't forget its those evil republicans at work again tongue.

err David Vitter anyone? John Ensign? At least the pressure to force Weiner to quit came from his own party . . . cant say the same for republicans.

Besides you know Americans have nothing to do when a man's decision to send photos of himself becomes a "scandal" big enough to force him out of office.
