Bill Clinton, the President of the United States was the defendant in a sexual harrassment case. Paula Jones an American ctizen was the plaintiff.
It was proven that Clinton committed the felony crimes of Perjury, Obstruction of Justice, Abuse of Power and Witness Tampering.
Even out of the original 15 Articles of Impeachment that was not one about sex.
Bill Clinton was and is a felon.
Unlike Clinton, Weiner can’t protect abortion all by himself, so he is expendable.
Clinton, Spitzer, and Weiner. A rapist, a prostitute’s John, and a scumbag of grand proportions. The standard bearers for modern liberalism.
“Clinton, Spitzer and Weiner. A rapist, a prostitute’s John, and a scu&bag of grand proportions. The standard bearers for modern liberalism.”
The scariest part of the whole thing is that a larger and larger proportion of the electorate love them.
IMHO
We need to get more "European", don't you know!
Weiner, according to the left, is only guilty of lying to cover up what he did. He says he lied because he felt ashamed. But if they truly believe there was nothing wrong with what he did, why the shame and coverup ?
According to Weiner, Libs, & Co., if he immediately tweeted “oops, my nasty picture went public” and laughed it off, and the next day when questioned laughingly admitted that he did it, and then when more evidence of showing several years of this type of activity with numerous women became public, just laugh it off and admit that he did it... if he reacted that way he would still be fine. No Congressional investigation, no press hounding him, no calls to resign. Because he would just say mea culpa, you got me, this is something that I do. Then all he would have to deal with would be his wife.
If libs truly felt the lying was the only problem, then the above scenario is what we should have seen over the past few days. Since there is no problem with “a little lust” in the eyes of libs.
Right ? Am I missing something ? Why the shame ?
After the DSK affair, even the French are starting to question their attitudes towards enabling their leaders.
Alas for NBC, we cannot. For this one simple reason:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
As John Adams noted, our entire system of government depends upon us and our leaders being “moral and religious”, and in the context of the time, that means Christian. That is what makes incidents like the Clinton matter and even this one more than mere disgusting episodes- they actually endanger the Republic. Weiner’s conduct reflects upon the dignity of the office he holds- that of a Representative in the US Congress. Bill Clinton dragged the Presidency itself into the mud. In both cases they stained the institutions by their conduct. Our elected officials should reflect what is best in us, the people, and Weiner should be bounced out of Congress by the Congress itself, and Clinton should have been removed from office. As for Europeans being an example of anything, why would we want to emulate nations that produced such figures as Louis XIV, Napoleon, Hitler, or Stalin? A long study of European history is replete with examples of how NOT to govern. Let NBC take its business to the Old World, if they think it is so great.
And still they rallied on the White House lawn for him -- led by MY congress-slug, Sheila Jackson Lee.
Four legs good, two legs bad. He's a Dummy-Rat.
Because they know better. The Democrats are displaying mens rea, they knew they were wrong during the Clinton scandal(s) and clung to power anyway, sustaining a perjurer, rapist, and long-term, structural traitor and Manchurian candidate against the purgative capacities of the People and Congress for the sake of keeping the patronage and power of the White House in their factious, perverse, and deeply-undeserving hands.
Odd how things work out. If the House was near a 50/50 split, they’d probably be rushing to defend Weiner as they did Bill Clinton. And Gabby Giffords, not being able to vote on bills, would be more disposable.
If there are congressmen or their aides who read this forum I’d like you to read this post carefully.
Weiner has disgraced the House of Representatives in a way that is very, very damaging. His actions are leading many in the populace to question whether your House of Representatives is a serious government institution or just another “bad-girl delivery system”.
Eject Weiner. He has already damaged you. And this is not a good time to be damaged.
What does the head of the DNC have to say? She is usually all over the press giving us her opinion on the evil Republicans. Debbie... where are you?
The People themselves are corrupt, and we saw Clinton and his cronies working feverishly -- and successfully -- during the Clinton scandal(s), to deepen the corruption and lower the bar, before it could be revealed to the People that The Rapist was a perjurer, too.
Remember? Clinton's hey-boy Dickie Morris polled people who told him that, if it could be shown that Clinton had perjured himself in the Paula Jones case, they would stop supporting him and favor his removal from office instead.
That was the genesis of the Clinton-Morris "it's only sex" defense and their appended sub-meme, "all men lie about sex [= "they all do it", \ lying = normal and okay]".
I think the difference with the Weiner scandal is that it has pictures. It is one thing to bandy about words like: “rape”, “sexual harassment”, “infidelity”, etc., it is entirely different to look at actual pictures of a naked man. Also, it doesn’t help that the Edwards trial is going on at the same time, and there is a sex tape coming that will be viewed by all on the internet. A picture is truly worth a thousand words.
Interesting thought .... if real power was at stake, and Nancy's gavel was teetering in the balance, would the 'Rats fight for their bad boy?
Point is, though, that they were hoping that the economy would turn at least a little bit and HouseRats could sneak back in on Obozo's coattails next year. Weiner is taking that away from them, so they are hurrying to make him, and his scandal, and the headlines and Leno jokes, go away.
So in that sense, insofar as power is their only motive, ever, they are pursuing power by preparing to expel Weiner instead.
If 'Pubbies thought like 'Rats, a dozen GOP congressmen would be on the phone to Weiner right now, telling him how they think it isn't so bad and that they wouldn't vote to expel him ..... and that they'd really like to have him around as a poster-boy next year ....
I hope he fights like hell.
