Weiner: I’m not resigning
WaPo ^ | 6/9/11 | Felicia Sonmez

Posted on 06/09/2011 11:49:26 AM PDT by markomalley

New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner maintained Thursday that he does not plan to resign his seat, despite growing calls from members of his own party for the seven-term congressman to step down in the wake of his admission that he conducted inappropriate online communications with at least six women.

“I’m not,” Weiner told a reporter for the New York Post on Thursday when asked if he planned to resign. “I’m going to get back to work as best I can.”

Weiner said that he is working on making amends with his wife, senior State Department aide Huma Abedin, who the New York Times reported Wednesday is pregnant with the couple’s first child.

Is that what Anthony and Huma are naming the baby?

Why would Dems want to lose a guy like Weenie?

He’s an “up and coming” Democrat in the tradition of Ted Kennedy and BJ Clinton.

BJ is the #1 most loved Democrat alive today.

Ted was revered as the liberal lion of the Senate.

Harry Reid and San Fran Nan have already taken him off their Holiday Greetings card lists. And more than just them. There is a certain creep factor at work methinks.

If Huma and Weenie really want to rev up the campaign coffers for a potentially tough 2012 contest, she can do a partial birth abortion on pay per view in 6 months or so.

I’m sure liberals would flock to see that.

Look at Weiner’s profile. It fits his name.

The Congress Critters' retirement deal for him would not be all that deep, considering cost of living in NYC. Basic salary is $174K and pension is based on a % of that calculated by time in government service. Weiner is not eligible to collect at this point without a serious deduction based on the fact that he is nine years away from MRA (minimun retirement age). And, he does not qualify for early retirement.

Nope, the sick son of a bitch would have to find a job...but that's why we have MSNBC.

From DNC: Everyone must play nice his wife is PG!
Huma is with child and expecting another little Weiner.
Anthony is very happy unless he finds out someone had it in for him.

Further proving his judgment, maturity and leadership qualities to his constituents. I’m sure they won’t think they can find anyone better to represent them.

“It would be a shame if posters of Weiner (latest) started popping up everywhere he went.”

It would be a bigger shame if jockey shorts started popping up everywhere he went, plus on the hood of his car, top of his desk, etc.

sex addiction and sex rehab within a week

then the MSM will start making HIM out to be the victim of a terrible addiction

watch for all sorts of stories on this “horrible addiction” caused by society, which is due to lack of gub’mint funding for programs to treat such addictions, of which those mean old republicans refuse to spend a tiny bit more money on

if only we had spent more money, these sex addictions would not be happening... poor Weiner, he is just a victim of evil conservative spending cuts...

blah blah blah

>> Prediction: If Weiner doesn’t resign, he’ll be re-elected to the seat he holds today. His Republican opponent will garner no more than 40% of the vote, and be lucky to get that much. <<

40% or less would result in victory for the Republican candidate in a 3-way race. Remember NY-26 where the phony "tea party" candidate took 9% and the RAT won with less than 50%? I think we need to start looking for a "Green Party" candidate to run in NY-9, whether or not Weenie is on the ballot next time. George W. Bush and John McCain both took 44% in that district. Pre-scandal Weenie got 59% of the vote in his last election. A left-wing third party candidate (with a platform even more liberal on foriegn policy) could run a very vocal anti-Weenie campaign and run ads bashing the NY RATs for supporting Weenie If such a candidate got 10% in that district, it could cripple the Dem's chances of holding it.

‘________that the HillBillys play for keeps.’

Huma telling husband not to resign.
Seems she’s intent on some agenda - - -

Yesterday, an editorial of a newspaper presumptiously said:
‘Rep. Weiner, a seven-term Democrat from New York, would have QUITE LIKELY BEEN THE NEXT MAYOR OF NEW YORK.’ He had emerged as the chief spokesman for his party’s liberal wing.’ (emphasis mine)

So - allow my speculation - - -

The overall plan here, was to eventually run for the White House, thus possibly (with voter fraud, you betcha) having the first Jewish prez, (fine with me - just not him);
and the first M U S L I M first lady !!! - (not fine with me).
Thus, A (bonafide) MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!
(Unless she converts . . . )
