My representative is the exhibitionist, a follower of Shummer. That is not moral.

That would be regression.
"wholesome conservative" is an oxymoron, besides being a state of antisocial behavior

The concept is conservation of the US Constitution;
i.e., support thereof and defense from deviance therefrom.
I will stand with that; George Washington et al were RIGHT.

but his lies to everyone about the pictures and sexting are a big deal.

Sorry neither his private sex life is a matter of public concern nor is his lying about his private sex life a matter of public concerm.

He does not owe the public the truth on this matter any more then he owe them any imformation on this subject.

True it would had been better if he just refused to address these stories from the first.

Quote:

If he admits to being a LIAR,
that is a matter of public concern, because we will not know WHEN,
nor how ofen he chooses to use DECEPTION to improve his circumstances.

Do we wish to be represented by LIARs, Bill??

When liars campaign for office,
do thay honestly admit it and tell the voters that it is none of their business????

If you can show me where he lied about a matter of public concern then you would have a case my lawyer friend but he had a right not to be truthful on a subject that by it very nature is not a matter of public concern in the first place.

I do not expect the people in power to be angels and I do not care if they fall short of that goal in thier private lives.

Too many great leaders in our country history had been far from perfect in thier private lives and somehow if some reporter had dare to ask Roosevelt for example if he was sleeping with his wife secretary I do not think you would had gotten an honesst answer nor would you be entitle to such an answer.

Hey, I'm an American. What do you think that means?

I voted for Obama; a big mistake.

His lies are themselves the matter of public concern

Was he telling the truth when he swore allegience to the Flag, or to uphold the constituion????

Defending perverts like Anthony Weiner is shameful.

Defending perverts like Anthony Weiner is shameful.

PERVERTS!!!!!!!!

So sending back and fore sexual materiasl and texts to willing adult partners create a pervert?????????

If he is a prevert then so are the six or so women I would assume in your world view. Correct?

I guess also over the decades I been on line interacting with women on computer nets before even the internet in a sexual manner and going far further then Congressman Wiener in meeting some of them and having sex with some of them so I guess that there is no question in your mind that I am a pervert.

Weiner may have solved everybody’s problem with his “treatment” gambit. It makes those who continue to milk the story look like heartless vultures for harassing a sick man (with a pregnant wife). And it takes the story off the front pages of the tabloids, both in print and on TV. The idea that the scandal itself is not survivable is nonsense. Barney Frank—another fast-talking acerbic Jew from the outer boroughs—survived a far more incriminating scandal involving a male prostitute working out of the basement of his own home in times that were far less accustomed to such behavior as those we live in today. Frank went on to become one of the Democrats’ most respected and admired elder statesmen. I recall similar demands from pundits that Frank resign immediately, but again, his constituents decided they preferred to forgive and forget. If Weiner can tough out the coming week—and put a final period on timelines like this one he’ll be home free. He won’t be New York’s next mayor; Rudy Giuliani proved that sex scandals are allowed only after you’re safely in office. But 20 years from now, he might be an effective congressman. And who knows? Maybe one day Oscar Meyer will name a hot dog after him….

IF you demand angels alone be allow to hold public office all you are going to get is people who have not been found out yet.

Hell as I already posted it is highly unlikely if we had enforce you kind of a moral code on our founding fathers we would not have even been a nation as too many key figures would not had been available.

So you would had ban a man who live as a husband with a woman legally married to another man and then brought a child he had father with another woman for his "wife" to raised from public office I would assume????

And if not why would you not wish to ban such an evil and ill-moral man if you have a problem with a man lying about his private life surely how could a man who is living in sin with another man wife and even cheating on her be allow to be in any office of public trust in your world view.

Evil Ben Franklin who was a keys or even the key figure in our winning our freedom from England.

Oh I see your moral depend on how important a man is so a less important man need to be more moral then a more important man
