Embattled Rep. Weiner insists he won't resign
Posted: 33 minutes ago

NEW YORK — Rep. Anthony Weiner insists he won't resign from Congress and plans to get back to work on behalf of his New York district.

Weiner spoke to the New York Post on Thursday outside his lawyer's office in Manhattan. He represents part of Queens.

The seven-term lawmaker has come under pressure from several Democratic colleagues to step down after he admitted to sexually explicit online relationships with women.

Weiner told the Post he wants to move past the controversy and is trying to make amends with his family and constituents.

Sources close to Weiner and his wife, Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, say the couple are expecting their first child.

House Democratic leaders have begun a choreographed rollout of Weiner's colleagues saying publicly they want him to resign. They included: Representative Mike Ross of Arkansas, Michael H. Michaud of Maine, Niki Tsongas of Massachusetts, Larry Kissell of North Carolina and Joe Donnelly of Indiana. Some senators also weighed in: Also Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas was one.

None interviewed said publicly or privately that they want Weiner to continue clinging to his seat.

Leave him in there.

If he stays, over the next few years he will be like a hunter with an unloaded gun. Few, if any, would care to have him involved in the sponsorship of bills or representing them in discussions / pressers related to such ...and that's the best-case-scenario if he did not us office facilities in his sexting.

Considering the polling in his district seems to suggest they want him, then they deserve him.

He will be the kiss of death for everything he touches.

He should look up the word "Honor!"

Hard to imagine a group of citizens who don't think they deserve better representation than this.

Mind boggling, actually.

If Weiner's internal numbers are good enough to get him reelected I doubt he will step down either. And honor went out the window with Bill Clinton. Politicians learned from the Lewinsky incident that they didn't have to step down when involved in a sex scandal or even after blatantly lying about it to the press. Clinton also showed people that it wasn't that bad of a thing to lie under oath.

Actually it isn't. Just look at some of the people that voters kept sending back to congress year after year. Barney Frank, Charlie Rangel, John Conyers, Pete Stark, and Ted Kennedy and John Murtha when they were alive. There are plenty of other bad ones out there too.

That rule only applies to democrats, not republicans, if they lie the MSM hammers them until they step down, which in some cases is hours.

Maxine Waters, Jesse Jackson Jr. - let us remember the guy that took rescue personnel during Katrina and rescue vehicles to get his stash of Cash from his Freezer - won reelection too.

He was in the house - and he won the election after the Money in the Freezer was well known - and the media was fine with it. He won with 61% of the vote.

How about Barney Frank? He drove a stake in the heart of the country with his Fannie and Freddie playtoys.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has called for an ethics investigation of Rep. Anthony Weiner for possibly misusing official resources. But what about the probe of Rep. Maxine Waters for abusing her power?

The ethics trial of Waters, accused of swinging millions in federal bailout cash to her husband’s ailing bank, was set to begin last November.

But the Democrat leadership has delayed Waters’ trial by blocking subpoenas and firing the lead lawyer working on the two-year investigation. Also, the ranking Democrat on the House Ethics panel reportedly is holding up the hiring of a new staff director.

The arguments all boil down to every individual's moral compass. When I see these people get reelected, I have to assume that moral character is low on the list of prerequisites for leadership and representation from these districts and states. This is a sad conclusion for me because I wonder what changed in my lifetime that morals have become negotiable. I have to believe that the Clinton Administration was the turning point and that the children of the 60's who were the Clinton contemporaries decided that only one's political policies were important, not how one lived their lives.

Did Impending Fatherhood Make Weiner Cybercheat?



This is way, way out there, imo.

Ms. Kiri Blakeley explains to us that Weiner may be suffering from what I'll call PTSD

..which in her world of excuses would mean Prebirth-traumatic stress disorder, suffered only by males wanting to play 'show & tell' with their personal toy I assume.

So I guess he had Pre-PTSD because he was doing it before he was married.

I am truly seeing the wisdom in the Michael Savage saying, "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder."
