Yes?

If he is guilty of criminal charges, yes.

Otherwise, I'd leave it up to the people of his district.

So you think a guy that's been flashing his Weiner around for 3-years, and perhaps to minors, is Congressional material? Has the judgment to be a member of Congress?

OK. Your party.

Now that the Boehner(see what I did?) has been identified, he deserves to be reprimanded by Congress
 
Re: Now that the hard Weiner has been identified and admitted to lying, should he res

Yes, he should resign - it would be the dignified thing to do. This type of behavior is so juvenile - something teenagers do who don't know any better. Weiner is 45 years old not some 12 year old girl. He SAYS he's taking responsibility but not by ultimately taking responsibility. A person with scruples, any shred of class would just come out and admit it, say his resignation is immediate and that's it.

No. He didn't do anything illegal. His constituents should decide whether he says or goes in the next election.

Way to put words into my mouth.

Has the judgment to be a member of Congress?

Like I said, up to his constituents to decide.

I could care less for the Democratic Party as a whole, or Weiner as an individual (although he can be funny sometimes). I am quite satisfied with my own congressman and I couldn't give less of a **** what happens to Weiner. If the people he serves are satisfied with his performance thus far, then that's their business and not anyone else's.

All that said, what he did was super-dumb.

What I said when Chris Lee resigned. It fits here:

For the record, I have no clue why he resigned. This is really no one's business but him and his family. I don't mind republicans resigning, but I don't think it was needed unless there is some law broken I don't know about.

As long as there are no criminal charges, it's really none of our damn business. We are now the ones affected.
 
Re: Now that the hard Weiner has been identified and admitted to lying, should he res

Meh, I have a hard time getting worked up about this kind of stuff. Conor Friedersdorf at The Atlantic pretty much summed up my view of this whole thing:
Several weeks from now, as foreign wars proceed, the unemployment rate rises or falls, and the GOP primaries wear on, does the detailed knowledge we now possess of Weiner's online indiscretions make us better off in any way? Perhaps newspapers in Weiner's district have an special interest in publishing all these details. For folks who'll never have the opportunity to vote for or against Weiner, is this information useful in any way?

Really, zim? Two posts with "hard Weiner" in the title within 60 minutes? Sounds like we're a little obsessed with the guys dong.

(Was it actually hard in the photo? I haven't seen, and frankly I prefer not to.)

You should have had a "not sure" option. That would be my answer. If it's clear in a couple of days that his constituents want that, then yes he should."

Oh of course not. People are acting like this is some egregious offense. The only people who argue for the heads of reps based on these kind of violations are hardcore line-towers, extremists, or the seriously mentally deficient.

You show me a Congressman with a blemish-free record and I'll show you my condo on Mars.

I see someone's re-invigorated the space program in the aftermath of shuttle retirment :mrgreen:

This here, I agree with both statements.

They say he's hung like a hamster. Dunno.................

I think when it goes on one's twitter account, it is hard to not see it as the public's business. Even so, I still think the guy should be able to try to recover some form of the Democrat he perhaps once not that long ago was.

Where is your link Homeboy!! Are you really stupid enough to think we would just take your word for it??

What is with you republicans.. First you were worried about where Clinton was putting his or not putting his.. Now you all have hard ons for who Weiner is showing his too.. I guess you're wishing it was you instead of someone else?? Seems to me that a lot of you conservatives need to come out of the closet!!

As been said.. This isn't any of our business.. Get over it.. Showing the world you have weiner envy isn't a good thing.. Seriously!! Get over yourselves!! We liberals don't know why Mr. Craigs list resigned nor do we even care!! Nor should you care about Mr. Weiner!! But as we all can tell with the number of threads you all have created!! Damn it is almost as if you all are jealous you weren't on the tweet list.. You all have internet.. Go look up some gay porn.. Spare this forum with your fantasies..

He should resign out of respect for his constituents. They deserve someone who isn't disloyal and dishonest. Now, finding someone who is loyal and honest.....that might be difficult....

Resign?.......not in the Democrat Party........this is time for a promotion if anything.


Obama/Weiner in 2012!......or maybe Edwards/Weiner in 2016!

What if his constituents don't want him to resign? They will have their chance to dump him in the next election.

Yes they will. But in the meantime, he has disgraced himself with his conduct and he has embarrassed and betrayed those who have put their faith in him standing by him for the last few days. I love his strong voice for the American worker. I love his strong voice against the forces of the right. I love his stand on the issues of importance in the nation. But he did what he did and he needs to pay a price for it so as not to take down anyone else with him. Vitter should have resigned. He didn't. Two wrongs do not make a right.

With this type of damage being done to the Democratic Party and in a Presidential election year - this has little to do with constituents and everything to do with elections, especially of one Barack Obama. If anyone even hints that Weiner's exit would be good for Obama, the dude is gone. Let's see what happens in the next few days - if the bad press doesn't let up, he will be told to resign.

I'm sure you'd say that if he had this (R) after his name too, right?
 
Re: Now that the hard Weiner has been identified and admitted to lying, should he res

Anybody who believed his silly "hacker" excuse and saw him sweating and dodging those one-on-one "interviews" knew he was lying from the get-go. If they didn't they are too dumb to live.

The guy clearly likes to have his massive ego stroked by women he met over the internet... and he probably talks dirty to them, too. That's between him, his family and, at the next election, his constituents.
 
Re: Now that the hard Weiner has been identified and admitted to lying, should he res

I gotta go with this, its the most logical.

If I was him Id probably resign but thats me.
If I was in his district I wouldnt vote for him but thats me.

If he broke the law, later gator, otherwise let the cards fall where they may. My guess is he'll naturally be replaced.
