If Anthony Wiener's a Pervert - then what's David Vitter?

[devilgrrl]

:popcorn:


BTW, hope everyone's happy with Wiener's resignation. Now the Democrats can get busy caving into the GOP on everything else.

Oh Happy Day!!!! :woohoo:

[Enrique]

1. a Republican n/t

[Warpy]

4. Republicans don't want politicians to be saints unless they're Democrats

Haven't you noticed?

[JuniperLea]

5. That is the lowest name you can give anyone! *shudder*

I approve!

:thumbsup:

[PDJane]

2. I am NOT pleased with Vitter's resignation, no.

And Vitter is a slime.

[xphile]

9. Vitter hasn't resigned.

Only Democrats have to resign over things that are actually legal.

Vitter, as a Republican, can remain in office after breaking the law.

[PDJane]

13. Sorry. Posted in a snit before leaving for lunch........

with a friend. I am not happy with Weiner's resignation....and the double standard

[tnlefty]

3. I'm sticking with law breaking disgusting freak,

but that's just me. Although my family members and I refer to him as Vitter the Shitter or Diaper Dave.

[MagickMuffin]

6. A Pervintovert, he does his dirty business behinds closed doors

Yet, he actually committed a crime.

8. a re-elected senator

[Stuckinthebush]

10. I'm satisfied

Happy is too strong of a word.

What is Vitter? A lying pervert. What is Weiner? A lying pervert. But I guess he is OUR pervert.

[ET Awful]

11. A CRIMINAL pervert n/t

[Bozita]

20. Yes, CRIMINAL! ... A huge distinction

[DCBob]

12. Clearly the Republicans have lower standards for members of congress..

thank goodness we are above that.

[elocs]

14. Kids use this kind of juvenile reasoning all the time--"how can what I did be bad

when the kid down the street did worse". I should be surprised to see adults here use the same reasoning, but I'm not.

Weiner chose his behavior and he clearly understood what the consequences would be if he were found out and then he found it easier to lie about it. Either he somehow wanted to be discovered or he is immensely stupid and arrogant believing he was somehow immune to the consequences of his actions.

Now did somebody put a gun to Weiner's head and force him to resign or did he choose to do it just as he chose to do the things which got him into trouble?

[avaistheone1]

16. For chrissakes Weiner broke no law.

The man didn't even cheat on his wife.

What a tempest in a teapot. Unbelievable!

:mad: :grr: :grr:

[elocs]

29. I had kids try it on me without breaking a law--they lied, but tried to justify it because

others lie. Nobody put a gun to his head and forced him to resign. His choice just like it was his choice to do the dumbass stuff that got him into trouble in the first place.

Now this kind of thing would not be any trouble in France, but have you noticed? We're not in France.

[Skidmore]

15. One of the most adolescent comments I've seen today.

[ejpoeta]

17. well if pervert is the standard for resigning.... there will be a lot of resignations going on i

guess.

[Raine]

18. Vitter is a republican pervert supported by elected republicans

Weiner is a Democratic "pervert" that elected Democrats piled onto ... see that is the difference. When the high and mighty in your own party desert you ... that's it.

[BOHICA12]

19. It is Slimy versus Creepy ....

Slimy can stay in office, we expect our politicians to be slimy and untrustworthy.

Creepy has to go - i.e. Foley & Weiner - nothing illegal proven just too far down the creepy spectrum.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

21. Weiner is certainly not creepy.

You need to read up on the Foley incident. Involved under-aged pages, and THAT was illegal. There is no comparison. Why would you even make the connection, I wonder.

[BOHICA12]

24. No it wasn't illegal ... or at least

the FBI & FDLE could find nothing with which to charge him. They both float in the same boat...one on the right side and one on the left.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

26. really? you are equating

sexting consenting adult women with emailing underage boys?

[BOHICA12]

28. The sexting no ..... the proliferation of junk photography...

...you betcha! Maybe not as far down the creepy trail, but certainly far enough to loose sight of reality. Also, far enough down where he can see Foley's creepy self too.

[Edweird]

22. A republican - but they circle the wagons and take care of their own.

The Dems apparently prefer to circle the firing squad.

[GentryDixon]

23. A "Family Values Republican"

[WolverineDG]

25. or Clarence Thomas

I'm so glad the Purity Patrol was able to score another victory, though. Maybe one day, they'll focus their sites on Republicans.....
