The list of Republicans that have been caught up in some type of sexual vice is long. Many were not just sexual but also illegal. Some of those Republicans resigned and some did not. With the exception of Larry Craig they (The Republicans) didn’t even ask their perpetrators to step down. Since Clinton was caught getting his Monica, the Republicans have been caught in more sexual scandals than Democrats. I say it that way because it is true, but also to say that Democrats have been luckier. These are powerful men, and women (in general) are attracted to power the way men (in general) are attracted to beauty. There are lots of sexual things going on in and around that Capital building. If they were to all come out we would not have many Democrats left. The Republicans would stay.
Democrats need to grow a spine and stand up to these bullies. As long as the Republicans still have David Vitter they should not even be allowed to ask ANY Democrat to step down. I understand the “protect you own” mentality but you can’t go after someone when you have someone on your team (David Vitter) who has done worse. Only in Washington D.C. is this possible. Members of Congress have done worse than Mr. Weiner and kept their job.
I guess the Hypocrisy this time really bothers me. I know it is always there but combine it this time with the Democrats not defending the person that defends their causes the most just upsets me more this time.
The Democrats are too weak to stand up for him so in my little way I’m trying to help him. How can we expect Democrats to stand up for us when they will not fight for one of their own?
Mr. Weiner broke no laws that I know of. He made some STUPID decisions but they were not illegal. He should not be forced out of office because he belongs to the wrong party. Someone has to stand up to the Republicans and I’m trying to help him. No one else seems to be willing to do it.
If you don’t remember Mr. Vitter here is his confession:
If you feel the way I do then please go to Mr. Weiner's Congressional website and show your support.
