1. Great job, Democratic leadership.

You got what you wanted and the country is surely better now because of it. :eyes:

[whatchamacallit]

2. Judging by the tweeted pic it's more than a pound ;)

Sorry. Yeah, this blows.

[LiberalLoner]

7. This DOES blow, indeed. Chunks. Mostly I just hope he will be okay now. I hope

that he and his wife will end up with an even stronger relationship after going through the aftermath of all of this. I hope they will have a healthy, beautiful baby in six months. I hope they will have more blessings than they can even imagine at this point.

Don't know if anyone else feels like joining me in this, but I am sending positive thoughts/prayers out for him and his family and his staff (they've gone through the wringer, too.)

Some of us (like me) have some mourning to do. Others will just be relieved the distraction is finished. Others may be angry this situation ever happened. Or some combination of all of the above.

But we will have to work through our feelings now, and they will have to work out their own lives now. I wish the best for all of us, really.

3. They should be so proud of themselves.

4. ahhhmmmm..."pound of flesh" may not be the best simile right now?

5. Weiner did what he should have done two weeks ago. nt

[BlueStater]

8. Now the Democratic party can return to folding for the GOP without distraction!

Yay! :sarcasm:

[DainBramaged]

9. Right, keep thinking this is good for us........

[bbinacan]

11. Agreed. n/t

6. Yep, great freakin' job Dems - the Republic is saved!! Woo-hoo!

[bvar22]

10. And the "Democratic" Party takes another giant step further to the RIGHT,

and some here cheer.

"Centrism"...because its so EASY!
You don't have to STAND for ANYTHING,
and get to insult those who do!!!!
:party:



"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.
I want a party that will stand up for working Americans."

12. Why? His replacement could be just as progressive politically..

but hopefully not as progressive with on-line sexual exploits.

[bvar22]

15. With (almost Republican) "Centrist" DLC Darling Wasserman-Schultz running the DNC,

and the Obama Administration track record of supporting Anti-LABOR/Pro-WAR/Pro-More Money for Millionaires "Centrists" in Democratic Primaries...

I'll put my money on NO
*Pro-LABOR

*Anti-Wall Street

*Pro-Jobs for Main Street

*Anti-WAR

*Anti-Unitary Executive

*Pro-Civil Rights for ALL

*Anti-TrickleDown

*Pro-Social Security

*Pro-Medicare for All

...Democrat making it out of the Primaries.
I've seen this movie up close before,
and it ends BAD for Americans who have to Work for a Living.

and most recently in the Arkansas Senate Primaries in 2010.



Who will STAND and FIGHT for THIS American Majority?
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses!

13. I miss Paul Wellstone with all of my heart

And will never take off my tinfoil hat for him......

[gateley]

14. Regardless of how incredulous I am at his stupidity for doing

this, and regardless of whether or not he was a grandstander who wasn't well liked in the House, bottom line is we've lost a vote, and a good warrior. :( I don't care WHY he put on those shows, they got the message across. This saddens me.

Hope he recovers and does well, and wishing the best for his marriage and new family.

16. Friday kick in the teeth

And for all of his people who worked for him, good luck.
