Like I said the other day, if Anthony Weiner ignores the calls to resign and just hunkers down for a few weeks, he’s a safe bet for reelection. It’s good to see that he agrees with this and has confirmed once again that he will not resign. This is certainly much more survivable than David Vitter having diaper sex with prostitutes or John Ensign trying to cover up his affair with his campaign manager’s wife. And if you really want to put it in perspective, check out what Silvio Berlusconi’s been up to. People who think Weiner’s not going to survive this are severely overestimating the attention span of the voters.
Let's put it in real perspective – Weiner showed himself to be piece of slime.
I'm sure you could get another Liberal Democrat to win the seat as you're right, a Republican will never win there.
Why the hell do you defend this guy? Are you that morally bankrupt too? Do you have any ethics, a code of conduct, anything at all that separates you from that human piece of shit?
Ethics and principles do not matter if you vote correctly
Yes, compared to Bill Clinton, Tony Weiner's misbehaving is minor. That's where we should set the morality bar? The lowest possible denominator.
You will defend any liberal, any YOUNG liberal, against all logical arguments.
Yes. That is one independent point of view.
This is not about liberals or conservatives. This is about an elected Congressman openly facing his constituents and his country and telling a blatant lie. That act turned what should have been a private matter into an issue of public trust. He did it to himself. I am a lifelong Democrat and I want him gone.
Marist Poll: Majority of Weiner's Constituents Think He Should Stay in Office
Anthony Weiner is one of my most favorite politicians. I think he's right on the issues. I think he's a funny guy and great public speaker. I also think this controversy is going to be over a lot faster than all of you think. I take a very utilitarian view on these things. All politicians are terrible people in their personal lives. The only thing I care about is whether he can continue to be effective as a politician. I think it's pretty clear that he can, so he should stay in office. I don't want to see another Eliot Spitzer situation. If Eliot Spitzer had been the Governor of New York in 2009, there's no way half the fraud and bullshit on Wall Street would've gone down.
Ok, it's settled then, you are morally bankrupt and have no ethics. Your parents must be proud.
anon 9:29 here…. @ Mr Geeting- Your defense of decadence disgusts me. If however you really are utilitarian I would at least hope you could find someone to believe in who is clever enough not to get caught.
Bad day at the office, What-Am-Getting-From-Big-Government?
"If Elliot Spitzer had been Governor of New York in 2009, there's no way half the fraud and bullshit would've gone down"
Jonny-boy,
How many times are we going to have to go over the dangers of Drug Abuse and what it can do to Progressive Liberal Democrat bloggers (hiding behind an "INDEPENDENT" title) such as yourself?
Good grief, dude!
Talk about doubling-down on Bad Policy —— using Spitzer to defend Weiner?
At the BARE MINIMUM, Moron, Anon 9:29 PM / Anon 9:03 AM is offering you invaluable advice.
I say Progressive Liberalism is a Mental Disorder and it is most unfortunate for decent people like Mr. Casey (and others) that the Progressive Liberals have such a complete and thorough stranglehold on the Democrat party.
Meanwhile, YOU have got nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, Mr. LEHIGH VALLEY "INDEPENDENT"…
