No? Just take a look at all the "Weiner threads" and catch up on all the "private life" arguments you Left Hand Nuts have been dishing up in his defense.
Weiner's situation is more about lying than it is anything else. He wasn't trying sponsor a tweet my package vigil for all to see. His private actions were undermined by an opportunistic recipient.

Are you just upset that you can't stop people from being involved in religion?
Oh? So now it's about "lying"???? That is the ONE issue that has been largely ignored by the Left Hand Nuts who go on and on about "it's between him and his wife".
You're losing, Frozenyo. Even people who have little or nothing to do with religion aren't backing you up on this one. Give it up and crawl back under the covers. Today isn't a good day for you.

Nope, citizens can do whatever they want but a governor, governs people of all belief/non-belief systems and should not be leading a christian prayer event. I personally don't like the president's "day of prayer" but he doesn't specify any particular religion thus not exculding those not of his faith.
Church Services in Congress after the Civil War
Charles Boynton (1806-1883) was in 1867 chaplain of the House of Representatives and organizing pastor of the First Congregational Church in Washington, which was trying at that time to build its own sanctuary. In the meantime the church, as Boynton informed potential donors, was holding services "at the Hall of Representatives" where "the audience is the largest in town. . . .nearly 2000 assembled every Sabbath" for services, making the congregation in the House the "largest Protestant Sabbath audience then in the United States." The First Congregational Church met in the House from 1865 to 1868.

He's taking a day off from being "Governor" so he's just Rick Perry, fellow Texan leading a prayer.
Adams's Description of a Church Service in the Supreme Court
John Quincy Adams here describes the Reverend James Laurie, pastor of a Presbyterian Church that had settled into the Treasury Building, preaching to an overflow audience in the Supreme Court Chamber, which in 1806 was located on the ground floor of the Capitol.

I can't speak for "the left". I've always said that his lying was reprehensible. What is it with you and losing? I'm not here for brownie points, and could care less if anyone sides with me. Most if not all that have commented here are in fact christians..I've often adamantly disagreed with liberals on this forum. I have my own brain and own opinions. Maybe you don't.
This prayer vigil is being held by the Governor of Texas, sure enough, just like every other legal citizen of the USA (even if he's a politician) has his own private beliefs, and the God-given right to have them and even express them. He is also having the vigil in a stadium (which is being rented out by a private organization, no problems there) and he's inviting other politicians for an "apolitical religious service".
From what I've seen, Rick Perry has violated nothing, just him and his fellow politicians (which I presume are other Southern politicians, which would most likely be Christian in nature) having a prayer vigil.
Nothing was broken, nothing was violated and nothing was wronged. It's just your blind, bigoted hatred of Religion in general that clouds your sense of well, everything.
