So, if a Republican does stupid shit like tap dancing the gay dance in a public restroom, or sending texts to hit on a page, they should resign. Republican jerks are branded hypocrites because the Party and its supporters have moral values.
Democrats do stupid shit like send naked and semi naked pictures to college kids, or get a little head from an intern, or get drunk and leave a young woman to die in a pond and they should be left alone to sort out their family issues. They are not hypocrites. I guess because Democrats think morality is icky, or something?
Does it not occur to you who think that Weinergate is no big deal that our nation's security could be compromised? If the enemies of the State were to get those pictures Weiner could be blackmailed? That tactic was a favorite of Communist Bloc nations during the Cold War. Even before that, JFK was reportedly sent to the PT Service for playing hide the bratwurst with a Nazi German agent during The Big One. There is plenty of precedent.
Weiner must resign because he is a moron, a liar, a sexual predator, and has no business representing the people of Queens. He is a security risk. He must go. Today.
Of course the NOW women only care about sexual predators when they are not Democrats. The Democrats do not care if one of their own is a serial harasser. We have to face facts. The Democratic Party IS the party of Teddy Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Tony Weiner. The Democrat Party says these guys are not hypocrites because they have no morals. I guess you Dems can be proud of that.

Um ... what about Mark "no resignation" Sanford?
Hoose, you should do a little half-ass research before posting this indignant piffle. Pleny of righties on that list.
Dig you some red red rightie Brian J. Doyle: he was convicted of sexually preying on a detective who posed as a 14-year-old girl through explicit online conversations.
The point being that the repubs go away, the dems: not so much.
Marion Berry gets caught on video smoking crack with hookers, and the felon gets re-elected in DC. R Kelly, while he was in court over making a sex tape with that 14 year old, had his song sales spike upward during the trial. The 40 year old mayor of Portland OR had a boyfriend for a number of year who when the BF finally turned 18, then they said they became sexually active, but insisted were celebate while he was still under 18. Riiiiight. Suuuuure.
But a Republican who simply has a shirtless photo on craigslist resigns, a GOP speaker of the House Livingston resigned once it was made known that he had an affair, and challenged Clinton to do the honorable thing and resign, too. A sex scandal where no sex happened got Jack Ryan out of the Senate race and Obama won it.
I sometimes get jealous of liberals. Having no morals, they don't have guilt over what they do, and sleep well at night no matter what they practice.
As usual, the lefty in the room tries to obfuscate the point.
Oh look. The West Side pig in mid-wallow comments, from Dimoraland.
Erin, I think you miss the point of the post. Perhaps I did not communicate it clearly.
Our elected officials should be held to a higher standard. They should all resign when the ydo stupid shit. You do not see Republicans coming in defense of their bad apples. You do not see them celebrated (see above). Where is the same Democratic outrage over Weiner they spouted over Mark Foley? The current head of the DNC and Nancy Pelosi both were outraged over Mark Foley made him a key point in their re-election campaign, but both defended Weiner last week.
Spitzer is cought with hookers. he gets a talk show on a liberal network. He is talking of running for office again. Is there no shame?
The support for Bill Clinton says it all.
I do not think we even need to bring up Swimmer Kennedy. He should have been in jail, not praised as the Lion of the Senate. Those are the morals of your party.
The post was not about which party has the most scumbags. They both have plenty. It is about what is tolerated and supported.
Dunno what press you're reading, Hoose. Dems are running from Weiner full speed.
The New York congressman seemed increasingly isolated from even his fellow Democrats yesterday, as House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi formally requested a House ethics probe and the Senate's top Democrat declined to publicly defend him.

"West Side Pig," huh? And you wonder why I don't come here very often.
Seeya, Hoose.
Erin,
I think in this case you are discussing trees, I am expounding upon the forest.
But should we ever walk in the woods and have a discussion, we both would likely enjoy it.
Erin, running from Weiner (and they seem to be) is not the same as calling for his resignation, is it?
I heard Lanny Davis on TV say he didn't want to judge Weiner.
Why not? What if an underage youth had been involved? Can you judge that? No?
What about if financial ruin had been incurred? No?
What about a death?
Where will the dems begin to judge?
Growing Chorus of Democrats Tells Weiner to Quit--Fox News.
Finally.
If only they had spoken out against Rangel, Spitzer, Clinton...etc.
