The ..2012.... Political thread
-
It should not be Let's Make A Deal. Weiner misused his office / position. Then lied to all the people to cover up. Then admits all that he did. His own party should ask him to make the decision himself to resign. He had his chance to use the office as it should be and he blew it. Time to go. I cannot feel sorry for these people that bring these things upon themselves.

Hmmm....are you saying that repubs should be treated differently than dems? ...or that sex and personal lives are more important qualifications to public service than personal corruption and REAL abuse of power??

I have seen Republicans resign because of their stupid actions. I have seen their party put pressure on them to turn in their resignation. The Democrats should be the ones telling Weiner he should resign - if he has not put forward that thought to do so. I do not care which party they are in - a screw up is a screw up. The reason I suggest his own party asks him to resign is that it is only natural that the opposite party would put the pressure on just because they are on the other side. It would show a better party character -- the people you represent shouldn't have to stand for this garbage and neither shall we .... your own party.

A twittering Weiner can only get one into trouble.

Perhaps Weiner should resign when Clarence Thomas resigns...after all it's already been proven that Thomas lied on SC disclosure forms where the justices list any outside income that might influence their decisions on upcoming cases. He "forgot" that his wife made over $700K for ultra-right wing organizations that profited from the Citizens United ruling. I would be fine with that after all there are many good dems that can take Weiner's s place. Clarence Thomas should resign
I have not been on any campaign to get Weiner to resign ... my comments were only to Audi within the context of his own posts

best statement that makes sense here. Clarence Thomas MAJOR corruption and VERY REAL ABUSE OF POWER he should go An Vitter republican in the Senate he confessed to using prostitutes he's still a senator he should go because truly he's just stupid.

Yes, what Clarence Thomas did to Anita Hill was sexual harassment and his lack of financial disclosure when it was the law. He has committed crimes. And there he seats one of the most corrupt persons in the US...and that's saying a lot. He's in the same league as bush, cheney and the rest of the republican criminals. He should go
