WRONG! Elected officials are no more or no less fallible than anyone else in society. Grow up. Life isn't a fairy tale. This guy sent a naughty picture to some woman on the internet.........it's not like he molested a choir boy for crying out loud.

re-read what i wrote and see if you have the same response.

i dont blame democrats for the actions of one idiot. all elected officials with an ethics or common decency issue should be held accountable for there own actions.

So by your high level of thinking people can just do what ever they want with no recourse?

He lied about it like a child, calling anyone that questioned him a jackass. Once he knew he was backed in a corner he created, he finally admitted it. He isn't the slightest bit sorry he did it, he is only sorry he got caught. An adult like myself knows the difference.

It means NOTHING!
So you're perfectly fine with the leaders of our nation being a bunch of corrupt liars with no morals or ethics...? If you can't trust wienies wienie, how can you trust the rest of him..?
As far as "Who Cares", I think the people of America cares. We need to eliminate the slime balls destroying the country.. Tiny Tony will be a civilian in very short (sorry about the pun) order...!!

Sure, its a bit of a stretch, but I get it.

You understand that this is nowhere NEAR the definition of someone's action being a "reflection on" someone else, right?

I don't blame Obama for this, but if he does not request that Weiner resign then he will be complicit and part of the problem.

no it's not a reflection of the entire party, nor are some of the losers on the Republican side.
