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.

Actually I think it’s more insane than that: They’ll vote for the person who will do the most damage to them. It’s a city made up of masochists. They get off on self destruction. For example they complained and complained when Bloomberg was getting more and more fascist. And what did they do? They reelected him and went back to complaining and complaining. That’s masochism.

Women are stupid if they actually fall for it
From your lips to G-D's ears! Just like the prank petition to end women's sufferage. This is funnier, but in a way sadder than the ban DiHydrogen Monoxide petitions.

Just think, if that woman from the James Bond GOLDFINGER movie had married this guy, she’d be Pussy Galore Weiner. I know. I’m crass. But it is funny.

What about Mrs. Weiner? Huma Abedin married Anthony Weiner and became Huma Weiner.

That is true of course, but more importantly is the fact that the democrat party faces no serious competition in the US. The repubs merely play good-cop bad-cop, and run interference for them.

Charles Manson would be a Dem favorite if he’d murdered only well-known Repubs. Libs forgive anyone on their side, no matter how bad.

Heads Up! consider the source when men like Anthony Weiner have propaganda like this "Mr. Weiner has once again upended popular conceptions about him..." about him. His Muslim wife, Huma, has many Islamic contacts who would like to see this foolish churl back in the government...

“Women for Anthony”’

I guess they just wouldn’t go for “Women for Wiener”, huh? Seems to me that would have been more natural...

Democrats certainly don’t have a monopoly on this behavior. See David Vitter. Or Mark Sanford.

This is par for the course especially for Dems. The impeached, disbarred Bill Clinton is still highly revered despite being a lying rapist and sexual predator.

Either of them cruise to an easy re-election?
