Reality check on Weiner. When will he resign?

[bbinacan]

He's damaged goods and the party is probably lining up his replacement. Right or wrong, this has to be in the triangulation. How long do you give him?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

1. Other....

[bbinacan]

6. Be prepared for one seriously

cold night in hell

[HysteryDiagnosis]

14. Got my electric socks, got my snowmobile suit, got my Captain Morgan's right here and

yes I do believe he is finished in politics.

[bbinacan]

47. Captain Morgan

Don't leave home with out it.:toast:

[Pharaoh]

2. other

why should he?

[bbinacan]

11. Is this a serious question? n/t

[BlueStater]

15. Why should he resign? He didn't break any laws. n/t

[Historic NY]

44. exactly.........I'm still curious how all the photos were purloined...

if the so called recievers were also givers of sexting.

[bluestate10]

3. Friday. nt

[WillowTree]

4. I give him a week.

[bbinacan]

9. Probably right. n/t

[soleft]

5. If DU had been around back then, would there have been a Barney Frank poll?

[fascisthunter]

46. great point

they would want him to resign, because he's to the left of them.

[Canuckistanian]

7. That depends

On how much pressure HIS OWN PARTY SUPPORTERS put on him.

[cali]

8. he's demonstrated that he doesn't have the emotional construct to

withstand what's coming. He'll resign within the next 10 days.

[OmahaBlueDog]

10. I think if Vitter can brazen it out, so can Weiner

Blah, blah...error in judgement....blah, blah...sorry to those I've hurt and let down...blah, blah...therapy....time of healing....short break from Congress for some treatment for some personal issues...blah, blah...I ask you to respect my family's privacy in this time of healing.

[Maine-ah]

12. as of right now, I say he won't resign.

it doesn't look as though he broke any laws...waiting for investigation results. I hope...damn I really hope he didn't fuck up to the point that he is forced to resign.

[bbinacan]

17. It's more than whether he broke laws

the party will see it as the negatives that he now brings. Lies, poor judgment, etc. They will need somebody who is electable.

[BlueStater]

19. They need to get some goddamn courage then.

When the opposing party still has David fucking Vitter in the Senate, they have no right to stand on any moral ground.

[FarLeftFist]

13. I don't see why he should resign.

He didn't lie under oath. He didn't break the law. This isn't even a sex scandal. It was a momentary act of stupidity. If the Govt was a corporation and Weiner was a Union worker under the same circumstances we would find this absurd calling for his resignation. How far should the public really encroach into our personal lives? Republicans would love to be in our bedrooms. He apologized now lets move on.

[Auntie Bush]

16. Agreed! nt

[Art_from_Ark]

18. Agreed

Why people get their knickers in a knot about this kind of shit is beyond my understanding.

[deaniac21]

22. Some knickers just don't like lying.

[BlueStater]

29. It was no one's freaking business besides him and his wife's in the first place. n/t

[TheKentuckian]

36. We are talking politicians, right?

Lies are as common as ties and pantsuits, don't be ridiculous.

[FarLeftFist]

23. Seriously, its a personal issue. The only thing that should happen is:

Some marital therapy with his wife. Lets not forget all he did was basically flirt on the internet. Since when have any of us NOT done that?

[bbinacan]

24. Maybe he shouldn't

However, I think the leadership will kick him to the curb. Pelosi seems to be leading the charge. I give him a week or so.

[FarLeftFist]

31. You think a house minority is looking to kick anyone to the curb?

Personally I think it would be ridiculous. The only one who might kick him to the curb is his wife.

[Walk away]

20. Where is this country's sense of humor?

Are we a bunch of ten year olds? If I do something embarrassing and get caught and questioned you better believe I'll give denying it a shot.
Then, if it won't go away, you have to fess up and get jeered at by the competition. Big deal.

[FarLeftFist]

28. Exactly!

It was a penis covered in cloth! He flirted on the internet, the only one who should be mad is his wife. We vote for policy not penis.

[bbinacan]

30. The point is

that we aren't a bunch of ten year olds. Weiner acted like a ten year old.

[FarLeftFist]

32. Really? 10 yr olds send girls pictures of their crotches?!

No, 40 year olds do.

[Walk away]

40. By the way...when I was 21 I considered myself a woman not a girl.

Is this 21 year old especially immature so that she is just a girl? You make her sound like a bimbo or a baby.

[Walk away]

39. So what? He's a man with immature sexual impulses and....

he's a politician! I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

[Mugu]

21. He might be able to survive if Democratic leadership stood with him,

but I don't think they will. If he doesn't resign New York has some redistricting to do and I bet his district will magically disappear.

[bbinacan]

34. Good point. n/t

[RedCloud]

25. He should resign when Breitbart gets jailed for ACORN deception et alia

[tishaLA]

26. Depends which of his online friends talks and what she says

But, to me, it's not looking good. I say 10 days, and that saddens me.

[Maru Kitteh]

27. Other. I don't know if he will or not. He should have dumped his confession on Friday though.

He should have just not lied, not said a damn thing, and then spilled the beans on Friday at about 16:45 EST last Friday.

[WillowTree]

33. Yeah,,,,,,,LAST Friday,

[bbinacan]

35. Yep! n/t

[ellenfl]

37. other . . . i think he was just showing that he is a dem with balls.

(sorry. :eyes:) i hope he does not resign. who else will do what he does now that grayson is gone?

as a woman, i find his actions deplorable. i will never understand why men get so stoopid about sex. i guess we wouldn't procreate without boneheaded, sex-obsessed men and the species would not survive without the smart women who keep it all together.

i don't see nancy dumping weiner. other than her, he's got the only other set in the minority party. too bad he had to go all exhibitionist on us.

ellen fl

[NorthCarolina]

45. A Weiner with Balls...

he's the full package.

[Warpy]

38. Other

Why the hell should he?

This is stupid.

[fascisthunter]

41. um, why would he need to resign?

[center rising]

42. Weiner must resign, and I think he will.

[Kaleva]

43. A week to two weeks

[AmericaIsGreat]

48. He's not going to resign nor should he n/m

[Renew Deal]

49. If the story remains that he sent a few semi-clothed pictures to adults, he'll be fine.

Any junk shots or kids and he's gone.

[flamingdem]

50. Breitbart says he has a naked "member" picture nt
