1. For what reason?

I know Weiner has sexted but do we know the inner workings of his relationship with his wife? Maybe she has denounced these actions but I haven't heard about it. So far it appears that a lot of people are projecting their idea of a successful relationship onto theirs.

The world is filled with people who don't follow the same path as I do. I don't respect them any less.

5. What judgment issues?

If he was following the agreement he had with his wife, why does he have to follow someone else's dictates regarding his personal life?

I'm not saying his wife does approve, only that I haven't heard or seen anything to the contrary. If she doesn't approve then it's a different story.

6. This happened 6 months after he left office. Look I was supporting him and I still like him

politically, but this shows a complete lack of judgement. Will he be subject to blackmail if elected? Will he do this while Mayor? These are legit questions.

Hey may not have thought he would be electable in the future - I don't know.

However, if his wife is ok with his actions then he's not a likely candidate for blackmail since we've all seen what he has to show.

2. He lied, and then he lied about lying.

Now he's caught in another lie. I don't care what he does in his personal life, he's a liar. I'm not even going into judgment issues.
