Yeah like Mark Sanford, David Vitter, Schwarzenegger, John Ensign......
You really are a moron Maggs.......
Weiner = Weiner
- Thread starter Chadman
- Start date
You really are a moron Maggs.......
What about Peter Lee? THe most recent, and most comparable situation?
How many minutes did it take him to resign?
Oh yea, he's not a democrat. Democrats encourage this behavior and see nothing wrong with it. Otherwise you'd hear leadership denouncing it AND asking him to resign.
Not a peep. Even the leader of the Democratic party, Mr. Obama himself, clearly condones this. It would help Obama signficantly if he'd come out and denounce this.
The difference is Dems just lie about it for weeks until they are sure they are caught - then they say they are sorry.
Weiner is just as disgusting as Bill Clinton was.

Guys like you are exactly why this country is in the shit hole. Just like when doggie all of a sudden was fascinated with how much the POTUS was spending. Look in the mirror, maggot. It's on you and scum like you.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense. I could see the POTUS coming out and saying its wrong to send dick pictures with your phone. What the fuck is wrong with you?
Just like Skulnik, Doggie, Pro and Lummi you completely avoided the whole point. Conservatives have the lock on hypocrisy.
Weiner is a SCUMBAG, you guys like SCUMBAGS that have a (D) behind their name.
NUFF SAID
PITY REALLY
HEE HAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

The base salary for US Congressmen is $174,000 plus benefits, plus official expenses (such as for staff, travel, office equipment supplies, totaling around $1.5 million per year).

thats pretty good money for the amount of time they are actually putting in .

Unless Nancy Pelosi says otherwise, Congress will break for its annual recess on Aug. 3 and return Sept. 4. Lawmakers already enjoyed weeklong breaks this year in February and May, plus a two-week hiatus in April.
Why does Congress get so much vacation?
To meet with constituents. :142smilie
Members of Congress don't like to think of themselves as on vacation, which is why they call their recesses "work breaks" or "home-district periods" rather than "time off." Depending on how safe their seat is?and the proximity of the next election?members will probably spend some portion of the recess attending town halls, meeting with community leaders, or visiting local haunts like barbershops to take their district's temperature. But they're free to do as they please?like stay in Washington, D.C., travel abroad with congressional delegations, or work on a tan.
Leaders of both parties meet at the beginning of each year to set a work schedule, which Congress must then approve. Members typically take a week or two for major holidays?Easter, July 4, Memorial Day?plus the month of August. Leaders also set a target date for adjournment?this year, they're shooting for Oct. 30?but Congress often works into December. (The target adjournment date is earlier during election years to allow time for campaigning.) Members then have time off until the next session begins on Jan. 3.
This year, Congress is scheduled to be in session just 137 days. :scared
That may seem like a lot of vacation, but it's nothing compared with what Congress used to get. Throughout the 19th century, being a representative or senator was a part-time job?six months in Washington, six months back home, with legislative sessions beginning in December and ending in May. (Congress wanted to avoid the summer heat in the District.) These abbreviated work schedules were the result, in large part, of how difficult it was to travel cross-country. Even by rail, it took more than a week to get from California to Washington, D.C. Plus, Congress simply had less to do than it does now.

want to make some big changes in washington ?
Lets make these congress people work full time year around. There is no telling what might get done.
This is just sickening.
and where do you think they are when they are taking their district vacation ? They are with fawking lobbyists getting free Vegas, free golf, free dinners, under the table grift. on and on.
Not to mention the benifits they get to go along with this salary.
wtf
why do we allow this
Because they make their own fawking rules.
we are such fawking sheep.

you dont think that ..... nawwww
its not possible that..........nawwwww
In my opinion, there is plenty of hypocrisy in this thread. Wayne again brings up Clinton (for whatever reason) and makes an analogy. He both blames Pelosi for asking for an ethics inquiry, and then blaming her for not asking for an inquiry. I swear, you can't make this kind of shit up. It doesn't matter, really, what happens, does it - the people in your target are reprehensible no matter what they do.
Mags uses his democrat hatred paintbrush to say all democrats are bad and support what Weiner did - which is one of the most ludicrous statements ever posted in here, in my opinion. Name one democrat that has supported what Weiner did? One?
Pelosi has called for a full ethics investigation. What's wrong with that? Can the democrats force an unrealistic person like Weiner to resign, even after all of this is released? Can anyone be forced to do something like this? Have all Republicans when faced with things like this resigned? Or have some of them resigned? And the others? I think he should have, but others like him haven't done it - and they have been defended here, if they belonged to another party.
Again, I have to call out Mags for his generalizing bullshit comments. Sorry - they are bullshit to me. Democrats encourage this behavior? Really? Are you serious? You can't be, can you? Obama condones this behavior? Really? This is based on what - him not coming out publicly and giving republicans and right wingers huge ammunition to use against him and all democrats for the next 10 years? Please - do you think everyone that reads your stuff is that stupid? Maybe so... I usually have more respect for your posts, and maybe you are agitated due to your argument in this thread, but with all due respect, you comments on this are bullshit, IMO.
The BIG difference as always - and one that you conservatives never acknowledge - is that conservatives campaign and hide behind family values and living life beyond reproach. Democrats are ridiculed for not making this a stronger issue in their campaigns. And then we find out that these men (for the most part) are weak and shitty representatives of our trust and don't give a shit about their family or values.
That is HYPOCRISY. Not only are they doing the bad shit, they ask us to believe in them because they say they are better than what they are. THAT is the difference, whether you conservatives like it or not. Explain to me how it's different, and maybe you can have some credibility on this comparison issue...
I've waited for that argument for about 5 to 8 or so years here... never seen a good one yet...

Partisanship is really understandable. Once you pick your side, right or wrong you gotta stick with it. It's human nature. Sports fans, political junkies, whatever. Life is easier when nuance isn't around to confuse oneself.
for what ever reason? can you think of better comparison?
--and is that only comment you have on Clinton/Weiner comparison.
on hypocracy--
"Weiner must resign over email"
Buuuuuut--
--molesting interns in "oral office" then committing pergury and obstructing justice and
"It was just a blowjob"
Your are right
You can't make this shit up --:lol:
I think this string covers my view on this ordeal. I could give a shit what you do sexually, if you cheat on your spouse, etc., as long as you aren't breaking the law or LYING about it when called on it. At first I thought Weiner was just a douche, now I think he should resign.
Chad, I'll admit to being a bit over the top here, but this behavior and the 10 days of lying have put me over the top on this guy. And I guess it hasn't helped that I have seen him scream and yell countless times on the House floor - and realize what a dick he is.
But I do stand by this: by the leadership (Pelosi) not denouncing him and asking for his resignation, her silence is defacto approval. You didn't see Boeher stay silent when Lee (the most recent case, although not as bad as Weiner obviously) did what he did.
It's funny - 2 years ago Pelosi made the comment "we are going to drain the swamp". What happened? Certainly Weiner is pound scum.
And there is the issue - the Dems make these big statements about being accountable - and here is Pelosi's chance to back her words - and she doesn't do anything (oh boy, an ethics investigation - again, that didn't work with Charlie Rangel, did it?)
She should back her words and force him out. And yes, she can make life so uncomfortable for him that he would have to resign. And it likely would be in her parties best interest to do so.
But, I guess, on the other hand, the more I think of it, let him stay. Every Republican can point to Wiener as being the standard setter in the Dem party, along with how the Dem's stayed silent and did not ask for his dismissal.
Politicians are employees, and should be treated as such. No other employer would allow this, especially when Wiener is representing himself as one of the leaders in the Federal Government. What do you think would have happened to him if he worked for Microsoft at a high ranking position?
Again, let him stay - it will just continue to hurt the Dems and Obama in 2012, as Obama's numbers continue to slide into oblivion.....
American kids are dying in bogus wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, state governments are laying off teachers, police and firefighters, putting more on the unemployment roles, we're making no progress towards energy conservation, the rich are getting richer at the expense of the middle class, global warming is not being addressed, people are being thrown out of their homes........
And Maggot is over the top because some dinkus trolls the internet with a hard-on.
I guess that's top priority for the pussy-whipped.
Poor, poor jealous little Maggot, wishing he had Wiener's wiener. :violin:
Hey Muffins-- what was title of thread of that fake France trip you and trench cooked up last year or your "family tradition" one will do also.
I need some resources for -- :lol:
Post a picture of one girl.... (
Poor Muffy.... another liberal loser living off the government dole....
Middle class would have been doing better, and unemployment would be much less, if your blow job buddy Obama would have actually done something the last 3 years.... instead he wasted time and increased government/regulation instead of creating jobs.
You are a loser just like your buddy. Does your 80 year old wife get jealous that you are blowing other liberal dems on a day to day basis? :00hour
Hey, Maggot: Three years ago was June 7, 2008. Bush was busily selling us down the crapper.
Now the black man is cleaning up whitey's mess.
