Higher Power? You must be talking about the people of his House Congressional district. Weiner is just a reflection of the values and morality of the people that live in that particular geographical area of America!

Here in rural Florida if some pervert messes with your daughter your rehab is to take a ball bat to his knees.

He needs to resign.

Resolve to call your Congressperson on Monday morning. Weiner goes by the end of the day.

Resolve to also call Boehner, Cantor, Murphy and Hensarling as well as Pelosi, and Hoyer. Same message.

Talking point?

It is NOT up to the voters of his district. The Constitution says each House is the judge of its own members, and on a 2/3rds vote, a member may be expelled.

Weiner’s actions offend you and show he does not deserve the public’s trust.Either he resigns or faces an expulsion vote. Which will it be?

Democrat or Republican, this level of behavior is not going to be tolerated.

Now, don’t be sitting around watching a car wreck. It’s up to you to make these Reps represent you. They figure as long as they make the right noises(Rehab, second chance, it’s between him and his wife—blah,blah,bah)you’ll be mollified.

A lot of GOP members have been excoriated and forced to resign over a lot less. Time we do the same to the Dims, and with more rewasons than they ever had.

A person couldn’t write this stuff, seriously, it would be rejected as being too unbelievable unless it was a comedy. “A Congressman named Weiner exposes his weiner and claims it was hacked.”

How do you justify him staying another year and a half to your children and grandchildren?

Weiner is a POS that needs to be removed.

The GOP not acting just shows how pussy whipped they are.

And that means they won’t win in 2012.

There is no strategic political gain in keeping Weiner. We have had nutcases galore like Pelosi and Reid in the Dim Party, and half the country believes their bilge.The GOP never fights them tooth and nail—result-Obamacare.

I reject the conventional wisdom. A line in the sand has to be drawn. This behavior is a new low for Congress, and that is saying a lot.

And allowing that to remain reflects poorly on us as a people, and as conservatives.

Weiner is corrosive to our goverment and to our society.

IOW, he'll be denying his district representation in the House while he tries to dodge the press and the cops. While on the taxpayers' nickel.

Wonder how his district feels about that...?

He just showed his weiner to a couple girls on the internet. Bill Clinton on the other hand raped a woman, whipped out his weiner in front of Paula Jones and told her to “kiss it”, attempted to rape Katheleen Willey, and the only Democrat I can ever recall that came even close to calling for him to step down was David Schippers. I say let Weiner stay. The idiots of New York constantly vote for Demoncrats like this, pervs, pedos, rapists, thieves, con men, crooks, over and over and over, so if they want a perv as their Rep. then give them exactly what they deserve.
