Why is he entitled to a "short leave of absence"? He's stalking young women online including underage which should qualify him for entry into the sex offender database. End of story.
ReplyDeleteGive him a LONG leave of absence and move on
Oh I agree with Al, give him a permanent leave of absence. He is a sex offender no matter which way you spin it.
ReplyDeleteHe needs to resign. He should be charged and prosecuted too. Forget the LOA request!
ReplyDeleteWhat everyone above said. Anyone who sends sexually explicit photos of themselves to a complete stranger is a pervert.
ReplyDeleteAl you're a moron, could you tell me where he had anything to do with underage women?
ReplyDeleteJames-You're the moron. It's all over the news that he was communicating with a seventeen year old GIRL in New Castle. I'm sure they didn't tell you about that on ABC, CBS, or CNN. It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of as an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt. Are you sure your name isn't Alex?

He's a democrat, he is protected with full immunity.
If it was a Republican he would have already been forced out of office and possibly arrested!
9:53 - Name one GOPer who has engaged in questionable sexual activities and has been "forced out of office and possible arrested?"
ReplyDeleteName one. One.
Take a breath and turn down your hyperbole machine.
BTW - there is no such thing as a "leave of absence" from Cogress. While what he did is stupid, there is no reson he needs to resign. His consituents will determine his political fate, and chances are, as in all these cases, he will keep his job as long as he wants it.
(Now, IF the rumors regarding the 17 year old are proven to be credible, then the games changes.)
dan, you have your democRAT glasses on and can't see the truth. He can probably get a doctor to give him a diagnosis and treatment that would qualify him for FMLA and for a LOA. HE needs to resign. Yes, Republicans have been forced to resign too. This man is a sexual deviant and should be prosecuted, put in jail and register with sex offenders. Take off your glasses, put on your big boy pants and live in the life of reality. Rather than your lala land of make believe.
ReplyDelete"rumors" dan? It's been all over the news and even her parents have been interviewed.
ReplyDeleteAnd really now, I can't imagine anyone wanting one of our lawmakers (and yes his decisons affect all of us) engaging in such immature behaviour. With this stunt he has proven he doesn't have the maturity to make important decisions.
He has proven he is incapable of thinking things though from the beginning to what consequences may occur. A lawmaker needs to have this trait. Weiner's thinking and reasoning are about equal to a 3 year old.
I'm betting he'll be gone before week's end. About 10 new pictures have surfaced of him in the House gym, clothed and unclothed holding on to his you know what.
ReplyDelete"drain the swamp" and all that.....
9:53 Like Vitters? Who actually broke the law.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty obvious from the posts on this subject who is informed and who doesn't have a clue. Looks like we stupid conservatives know a lot more about what is really going on than the "smarter than thou" educated idiot liberals.
