New York Times ^ | 07/06/13 | AVIER C. HERNÁNDEZ

Posted on 07/06/2013 10:56:33 AM PDT by AtlasStalled

Written off by election experts and shunned by the political establishment, Mr. Weiner has once again upended popular conceptions about him, vaulting to the front of the race for mayor. * * * Some of the groups that view him most positively are men, young people and African-American voters, according to the poll.

I still maintain that he will face upcoming stiff opposition, and his support is flaccid.

Who’s surprised? Behavior like his hasn’t really been a problem since about 1964. At least, not for Democrats.

Furthermore, although he is well-funded, his reputation has him short-staffed.

He is headed straight for the presidency. Just you wait and see. I figure around 2024 or 2028. He will get close to 90% of the women vote and many women will be in tears and screaming when they are in his presence, just like he was Elvis Presley and the Beatles all rolled into one.

Just you wait and see! Our society still has a long way to fall.

The sagging Weiner is being propped up by the front group “Women for Anthony” which is run by his Islamist wife and her sister.

False bill of goods.

Women are stupid if they actually fall for it.

The discerning voters of New York elected carpet bagger Hillary Clinton to the Senate twice, so electing The Weenie as mayor wouldn’t exactly be a new low for them.

That’s one thing about being a DemocRAT. You can be lower than low and the low information voters will still vote for you. Freaks don’t bother them since the DemocRAT Party is a freak show anyway.

Are we surprised? Young kids bred by today’s horrible mores, and African Americans who never seem to hold anyone responsible for moral failings.

I am convinced that the reason blacks have so much crime and so many problems is that culturally they do not discriminate against people of low or criminal character.

I taught my kids to give a wide berth to people who did bad things and never seemed to get a clue about it - it has saved them countless times. But blacks will actually keep on VOTING for drug users, dishonest judges, etc.

Bill Clinton raped, cheated and womanized. Weiner is a saint to these voters.

What would happen to a male Company Commander in the Army if he sent a female Soldier a picture of his private parts?

Huma Abedin / John Kerry ignore deadline to respond to Senator’s letter
By Shoebat Foundation on July 6, 2013 in Blog, General

On June 13th, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry in which a June 27th deadline was given for a response to 18 questions in that letter that pertained to Huma Abedin’s time as a “part-time consultant” and “special government employee” beginning in June of 2012.

The deadline has officially come and gone without a response.
