Democrats Ponder Should Rep. Weiner Stay Or Go?
NPR ^ | June 8, 2011 | ANDREA SEABROOK

Posted on 06/08/2011 1:53:57 AM PDT by South40

Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York says he will not resign from his House seat.

((snip))

It's not illegal to flirt, Brand says, and it's not illegal to lie to the press. That happens all the time. Also, there are no congressional rules for how to act online.

Still, Democratic leaders have to decide whether to ask Weiner to resign and get the lewd photo scandal out of the spotlight, or let him stay.

The morality of it says he should resign.

The beautiful TACTICS of it sez he should stay, while he continues to create a mortal sucking chest wound electorally for the Dimocraps.

Couldnt happen to a nicer crowd.

Kind of funny that NPR and the left think lying to everyone is no big deal... After all it isn’t a crime to lie to everyone... Therefore it isn’t a serious matter...

And yet NPR and the left demand that you believe whatever they say and if you are foolish enough to have doubts about what they say you are a “denier” which is a crime against humanity...

If they want to look like laughingstocks then that’s their choice.

I wonder what they would say if Weiner sent their daughters nude pics.

When Clinton was President, lying was deemed virtue by the left,in that it saved hurt feelings telling people what they didn’t want to hear.

Guess he didn't get the memo on common sense or decency.

In related news: New York City has just announced that it's changing its slogan from "The City That Never Sleeps" to "The City With A Weiner That Just Won't Quit!"

In weiner the Democrats have a sure vote.

They know he will vote with the party.

The new Congressman may have a mind of his own. Doubtful I know, but possible.

The Democrats own Weiner lock,stock , and barrel now, If he decides to stay, he will get re-elected. If the Congress was really what it should be in this country they would put him out without that great pension he will take with him.
