But the left went bananas, and still do, over Foley who was involved with 16 year old boys. double standard?

Right wing lemmings may get off on being a voyeuristic prudes but his district has more important things to worry about.

Like how he votes and his stance on the issues important to them.

Now carry on with your finger wagging.....LOL

A man takes pictures of his erect penis and sends the photos to online female acquaintances and you accuse the Right of being "voyeuristic"?? What hypocrisy!!

You ignored and twisted the real message of my post.......about their willingness to ignore the lies, etc. he engaged in for 10 days prior to finally admitting his indiscretions when he was backed into a corner.

You tried to reduce this to a "personal matter between consenting adults" and "how he votes on important issues", etc. You deflected nicely but did not address how 56% of those in his district are turning a blind eye to the very obvious character deficiencies in Anthony Weiner. Maybe they just don't place much importance on character.

No double standard at all

Weiner didn't run a family values platform. He doesn't tell two adults who they can marry. He doesn't vote to tell a woman what to do with her body.

Foley sure did!

If you are going to preach morals, and attempt legislate your morals on others then you need to be held to that standard.

Yes it's not sinking in. It's going over your head.


As long as it was consensual I don't care what he did nor do most people.

In fact. It's boring.

Right wingers are on this thread because 1) They hope to score some political point. or 2) They are titillated by the story.....LOL

Exactly!!!

All guys are pigs to an extent, its the way we are if Palin sent pictures of her privates she'd get an extra 8-10% of our vote. Thats the way it is.

But as guys we all know a dude who takes comments towards women a little to far, a little too disgusting. The guy that thinks he's gods gift to women, but he's really a dbag.

Whether its Foley, Clinton, Weiner, or Gingrich its a shame these types of scumbags can be voted into public office. Public officials should have some type of decorum, if we wanted perverts we would of voted in Ron Jeremy.

You are the one who doesn't get it. My point is about the ten days of lies, denials, evasion, obfuscation, etc. before finally admitting his indiscretions. Why won't you address that issue?

Left Hand Nuts are on this thread purely for deflection away from the real issues of Weiner's lack of character.

Freud would have a field day with all these Weiner defenders and their "Identification" issues.

Just like Clinton all over again.

Defending the indefensible.

Lying about sending emails with sexual content over the internet. That's certainly not against the law, and not surprising. Many men would attempt to lie and get out of being caught.

[YAWN]

It's between him and his wife...Nobody cares but you.

When he lies in regards to his job as Congressman....get back to us....LOL

I know some of you conservatives love violence and believe that it's an appropriate response to things you don't like, but try to control yourselves.
Oh, the drama!

You nailed it! I have raised this issue repeatedly. These are people in positions of public trust, elected to office to "rule over us", in a manner of speaking. We have every right to expect--no, demand--that those who hold such power over us conduct themselves in a manner that deems them worthy of that trust.

Sadly, it seems it is more often the scum that rises to the top instead of the cream.
