Am I correct in understanding that the only people who saw the tweet was Breitbart and Rep. Weiner?

Not even close. He just admitted having online corespondence with 6 women over the last 3 years that he met online, sending them lewd pictures and emails. He said his wife just found out this morning that it was true and is very upset and he will have to work on that.

Last republican who just got caught with one picture of his shirt off resigned immediately. Knowing we as Americans are tired of the examples these politicians are setting as far as family values go. Do you feel that people in this position of power and leadership should stay there after getting caught basiclly having several cyber affairs, and it is still not known if he met any. He says he didn't but he also swore up and down he never sent the first picture.

Perhaps you could tell us about David Vitters, the Republican congressman who committed illegal crimes soliciting prostitutes while campaigning on a family values platform? Or about John Ensign, the Republican senator who had an affair with his "best friend's" wife who worked for him, and stayed in office for almost a year after being caught, and only resigned during an ethics investigation, who also campaigned on a family values platform. Not quite in the same ballpark as sending out shirtless photos.

They should have stepped down or been thrown out immediately too! Just like Clinton should have from the Presidency for using the highest office in the nation that way and setting an example for this nations kids that to this day is still causing harm. And Weiner had phone sex with these women too. When asked, he said that because their names will come out, he didn't want to answer that one.

I think the best explanation is that was then, this is now. The GOP is being a lot tougher on their people who dally.

Or more likely, the shirtless Rep was just one of 460+ in what was thought to be a safe district so if he lost his job, another Repub would replace him.
Senators like Ensign are more important and harder to replace, especially if Nevada gets a Dem governor.

Question...... Isn't Weinergate a zipper?

Then why is David Vitters still in office representing the Republican party? Or is it simply hypocrisy? And of course Republican Senators are more important and should not be held to the same standards as other politicians.

One photo showed Weiner on a couch with two cats nearby. The website said Weiner sent the photo using the anthonyweiner(at)aol.com account with the subject line "Me and the pussys."

They shouldn't be? Well then you and I have very different opinions. I think they should ALL be held to the SAME highest of standards leading this country, and they should all resign if caught in scandals such as this.

Love this bit of trivia.......

Weiner, 46, married Hillary Rodham Clinton aide Huma Abedin last July, with former President Bill Clinton officiating. Before that, Weiner had been known as one of New York's most eligible bachelors.


President Clinton the king of Adulterers officiated their ceremony!! They were doomed from the start!!! :bash :bash

My post was being sacrastic in response to SS109's post that Republican senators are more important and should not be forced to resign due to adultery.
So what is your answer to my query about Republican Vitters remaining in office, while the Democratic leadership has already requested an ethics investigation into Weiner within minutes of his confession.

I have already answered twice. They (including Clinton) should all resign or be thrown out of office immediately. And I knew you were being sarcastic but I had answered twice already opposite of what you were implying so I just went along with it.
