Now let me ask you a question...You compared Weiner's actions to Foley. Do you think that sending emails of underwear is the same as propositoning kids for sex???
This story isn't over yet. Don't forget he left the door open for further investigation as to whether of not any of his on line love partners was underage at the time of the "consensual" on line sex "conversations"
this thing could get uglier and uglier.

He was not sending e-mails of his underwear, he was sending e-mails of what was in his underwear! Do you understand the difference?

If it is found that he twittered any underage persons with these photos he should be charged as a sex offender, period!

Of all the things he said, none of them were more destructive than when he was asked whether he knew for sure that all of the females he was communicating with were adults. He would only say they were, "to the best of my knowledge."
Even if you take him at his word (and this is the guy who claimed that he couldn't with "certitude" identify a photo of him in his underwear), it's extra sleazy that he would engage in these sort of relationships without even knowing for sure whether he was swapping photos with underage girls.

I don't know whether you read what I wrote, or not. I am sure the right will bring this whole thing up by October, 2012. I don't know what his constituents will remember, though. Allowing someone like him to return would tell me a lot about those who re-elect him.

He like many, get egotistical, arrogant and up on their pedestal, looking down on all their subjects.

since THEY aren't as emotional, as egotistical, as stupid , as immoral as so MANY of these MALE politicians are......
If we elected more women, we'd simply have more stories of infidelity by women coming out.

Any good study done shows that women cheat as much, if not more then men do.

My half of the species is simply worse at hiding it.

Are you folks not starting to get it yet?

People are inherently selfish, it's engrained in our genes as a survival technique.

So to save his own ass he lied to his wife, the parents of the kids (who vehemently defended him), congress, the American people, the world...

He only made the decision to come clean when there was no choice otherwise.

And he wanted to harp on people at Goldline for being unethical?

You still think your big government candidate is there for you? (snicker)

You are your own worse enemy?

Forgot to add..... If I were his wife, Huma, I'd be changing my name to Lorena and taking a drive to Manasass, VA.

and, at least some of the time spent doing it, on our DIME!

Good example of what some of these guys think of how stupid we are and what all they can get away with at our expense not to mention the emotional cost to his family.

We should have nailed Clinton when we had the chance. That president set a bad precedent. Its kind of like the whole country just agreed to accept any lies we were handed.

If somebody does something like this in their personal life, do you really think they aren't going to lie and cheat the rest of us whenever it serves them?
