Sarcasm on your part but those people really believe it.

If your Weiner doesn’t go down after four hours...you should call a doctor.

Even if Congress Critter Weiner doesn’t resign due to his lack of personal discretion, I’m sure he’ll be suffering “Electile Disfunction” at the polls (should he last that long)...

This is a demonstration of two ugly truths about liberalism:

1) Anything that advances communism is a moral good. Anything that thwarts it is evil. The left is more angry at this scandal being exposed (thwarting their power) than they are about it happening.

2) Liberals recognize no moral standards except 1). They reject any other behavioral standards, especially in the deviant sexual arena. If they make Weiner resign, that’s a de facto support of sexual behavioral standards. This is why they recoil from pursuing him too hard.

Do not forget Congressman Jefferson caught with 90 grand in his freezer. He refused to resign, stayed in Congress 3 more years while being reelected by his idiot constituency and the only way he was removed was by conviction and a long prison sentence.

How could a modern democrat not be gay? Being straight is so pedestrian. It´s clear: straight rats are haters.

Best article title of this whole mess:

Erections have consequences.

I was thinking he was not going to resign, now I think it is 50/50.

The Democrats are trying to figure out what is going to fly with the public. When a reporter shoves a mic in their face and asks about Weiner, they have two possibilities:

1. “I call for a full and complete investigation by the Ethics Committee to determine any wrongdoing” or

2. “I call on him to resign”

If enough of the big-wig Democrats feel comfortable with option 1, then Weiner will not resign. He will pledge full cooperation with the Ethics Committee investigation and pretend that his wife is making him sleep on the couch and that is penalty enough. In that case, the Ethics Committee, after a long investigation during which this matter fades from the front pages, will make him reimburse some of the cost of his telephone and computer usage.

If they can’t swing option 1, then he will resign, as long as they agree to provide him a job somewhere in the Democrat propaganda machine probably on Soros’ payroll.

That’s what being decided. Obviously considerations of morality or shame do not come into play in the case of the Democrats. Anyone working for the class warfare is ipso facto a “righteous” person in Democrat-land regardless of how sleazy or dishonest a person he is.

A decision one way or the other before the weekend.

Perhaps Weiner feels bad about undermining Clinton’s efforts to convince Americans the Democrats were the family values party.

I looked at the replies first and noticed several others beat me to this part. Rats and family values should not be used in the same paragraph, let alone the same sentence.

You can bet Weiner won't go until he gets enough money to makeup for the earmarks he's been pilfering.

Probably what's being negotiated now.

Why Weiner Will Not Go Down

I thought that if that went on for more than four hours you were supposed to call the doctor?

The problem for Pelosi and the democrats is that weiner has a compulsion for sexting. He can't stop...and when he thinks he's in the clear, he'll start again.

His computer would probably show that the congressman is into porn.

Reid has abandoned him. He will be forced to resign, IMHO.

I hear if that persists for more than four hours you should consult your physician...
