1. because like most she's trying to appeal to
dorks who applaud dems for bending over backwards to look righteous. They just sink right into the media trap, and the GOP counts on it.

2. There is a guy on CNN talking about shame.
Accept that he is married, and that is an error in that.

Where is the shame? What is wrong with flirting on the net, accept the marriage part.

Why are they saying it is shameful? Can someone explain that to me?

Maybe a little embarrassing, and wrong for it to be used for smear, but why would it be shameful?

17. We Torture, invade countries, kick the poor around,
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 07:08 PM by fascisthunter
send american jobs overseas, allow a sociopathic for-profit health insurance system deny claims for people with preconditions, yet we are to be ashamed of this?

What a load of superficial shit!

See, he's to the left of most in congress so we must feel ashamed.

5. We seem to have a surplus of really
good liberal Democrats so maybe she thinks it time to sacrifice one to meet the other side more than half way, and make them happy.

7. To see if he violated house rules
like using government issued equipment (computer, blackberry) or other taxpayer funded services (phone lines, long distance, internet service) when he was posting those pics, hanging out on facebook and having phone sex.

It makes sense.

8. Because of the possibility that he used goverment resources to do it.
And that, I assume, would be an ethics violation.

9. Because she dragged her feet on calling for an
investigation of Charlie Rangel, so now she's got the heat on her to do this investigation or so they said earlier on the TeeVee.

14. Because Weiner didn't lie his country into a war.

22. Because he lied.
Straight to our face. It is unethical to lie. That is why there is an ethics investigation.

24. Because the media and the CONS,,,
will keep harping on it and the CONS somehow think that they can use it Weiner so he can't run for mayor and then they will use it against all Dems and their main target,the President.

25. To see if Weiner used government resources to cybersex with other women
Let me ask you this. If you get caught at work using the company's resources to dirty talk, you think your boss will not look into the issue further?

Isn't it illegal to hack into another person's online account?
