Anthony Weiner aka "Carlos Danger"
It's a real Weiner roast here in NYC with three of the current candidates for Mayor telling him to as the Daily News put it BEAT IT (that's so clever). Then there's former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer running for Comptroller and if I had to choose between the lesser of two pervs I'd go with Weiner since with Weiner it's just the compulsive addictive sexting but with Spitz in addition to the 'hos you also got steamrolling over political enemies, overinflating charges against Wall Street etc. or maybe that was just his way of celebrating. I'm actually not joining the swelling Chorus telling Weiner to drop out of the Mayor's race and the way I see it he actually didn't have sex with anyone. It'd be like going to Hell over masturbation, looking at dirty pictures, subscribing to Penthouse. Clinton had actual sex in the Oval Office while President and Dems pretty much backed him to the hilt whereas more and more Dems are telling Weiner to drop off the radar so what gives? I mean the guy never even got a handjob. It is shocking though that these latest sexting revelations are about new sexts after Weiner's resignation from Congress in 2011 even a year later, maybe he was depressed or as Devo has said "when a problem comes along you must whip it." His most recent sexting partner though, this 20-something woman/progressive activist seemed pretty willing at first at least from what I've read, what'd she re-envirginate herself? so aside from being a problem for his marriage it doesn't seem to be a crime. Huma Abedin, I kinda liked it that she spoke at that press conference the other day, broke the mold and speaking as a conservative don't we have too many divorces in this country anyway? Aren't they being more faithful to their marriage vows than, oh I don't know Rush Limbaugh? According to the most recent polling data half of NYC voters seem willing to give Weiner a pass and he is leading or at the top of all the polls and I think this has to do with they do similar stuff too, it's a different age after all. I mean how do you get on Weiner's case when you're downloading porn yourself? You know I was reading the other day about Blogger's Content Policy and this really surprised me but Blogger allows you to use sexually explicit content in your blog if you so wish but they'd appreciate it if you'd label it Adult. I just hope Weiner doesn't take up blogging.

Works for some , but not all . Guess ya gotta be crazy to run for public office.
ReplyDeleteDamn BB, triple hyperlinking! You can do that you can handle a smartphone.
DeleteYet no mention of Huma Abedin's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and her family´s other radical connections. Read all about her families ties with them, and also about the fact that she Works for and is a Friend of Hilary's..... WITH ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
ReplyDeleteDon't you Democrats even care about the character of the person you want to run your city?
ReplyDeleteWhat makes you think he will have good judgement, integrity, honesty, and or reliability as your Mayor?
I'm from New York and I know that I care.
On Anthony Weiner...
ReplyDeleteThis list isn’t meant to flame Democrats, but does this list of immoral charactors meant anything to you?

Dare I say JFK?
The thing about the Weiner Scandal is this -- In this country porn is literally a multi-billion dollar business. Some say it makes more than football, baseball and basketball combined. On the other hand all of a sudden everyone wants Weiner to resign, all of a sudden we're a virtuous society. I have trouble squaring it.

ReplyDeleteOne would think being a sleazy politician would be a liability, but it seems that sleaze is a resume enhancer these.
Anthony Weiner aka "Carlos Danger" was caught sending tweets and dirty emails to a 22 year old woman up until April of this year. He's been leading in the polls in New York and probably will win. I think this says something about Democrat voters and about the political climate we are currently in.
Thanks to a fawning press Democrat candidates have an advantage over their opposition. I think this is a very dangerous situation because any politician who has secrets can also be blackmailed or coerced into voting a certain way on bills that effect their constituents. Never mind what all of the lying and sneaking around leads to.
Everyone has weaknesses and made mistakes. What is important is that someday you just might realize you made a mistake and that you aren't going to continue those mistakes. 30 years ago the press wouldn't accept this kind of behavior. Now, the press covers it up and minimizes it all for a progressive agenda. Take Anthony Weiner for example. There are rumors he is simply a mustache for his wife who is Hillary Clinton's executive secretary. Their marriage is arranged as a cover for his wife so there is no stigma of impropriety.
For those who are unfamiliar with the term "Mustache", some Gays marry heteros as a cover for their alternative sexual lifestyles. Taking this into consideration one can understand why AW continues to screw around and it also might explain why his wife doesn't mind.
The Dems took back Congress with scandals like this using them to show how GOP representatives weren't so squeaky clean. It turned off rightwing voters and gave the left plenty to crow about.
I think it's just a matter of what kind of media coverage you get. Obama is a perfect example of this. Nothing seems to touch him, yet he's been using the IRS and the NSA to spy on private citizens. Just the other day Christine O'Donnell found out that the IRS used her personal data to ruin her run for the Senate. A story surfaced in the press that was obviously made up but she couldn't convince enough people that it was bogus. There is no way to find out who did it because the records have been deleted. I'm afraid that the guilty parties will never be punished as long as the press continues to provide cover for Democrats, and crooked politicians like Anthony Weiner will continue to screw up government and screw all of us in the process.
Wow, I wonder where all that was cut and pasted from.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom line is that IT'S THE TRUTH!...
ReplyDeleteRegurgitated.
ReplyDeleteWhere does this 23 year old woman Sydney Leathers get off painting herself as the victim? She participated willingly unlike most of the women caught up in Weinergate before he resigned from the Congress and it's tawdry and it doesn't speak to good character but there's nothing illegal about it the Leathers case that is. What, she thought Weiner loved her? shades of Monica Lewinsky.
ReplyDeleteA 4th Bloomberg term for the Big Apple?
ReplyDeleteAlmost seems conspiratorial when you consider the candidates we're getting. BTW Spitzer's main competition for NYC Comptroller is his former madame and then there's the names like Leathers in the Weiner scandal...seems scripted.
DeleteAnd meanwhile in North Carolina the Republicans are busy gutting voting rights, closing all but one abortion clinic in the state, stripping food stamp allowances, expanding the places you're more than welcome to take your guns, eliminating unemployment benefits and basically destroying everything that makes North Carolina a great place to live.
ReplyDeleteDunno, should abortion clinics be like Dunkin' Donuts or CVS, one on every block?
DeleteThe Research Triangle will probably move to Silicon Valley and....
ReplyDeletethe South Shall Rise Again.
Heard a new TV series is in the works: 'Elect-A-Perv'
ReplyDelete& yet Bill Clinton got away with everything.
DeleteHey, the last time I looks, regardless what Obama says or does. This is still America.
ReplyDeleteGood point. This is still America, lets not do what we have been complaining about others who have been doing. And that's taking away the right of people to exercise their freedom of choice. We may not like it, but it's their choice.
DeleteWe can NOT take away peoples choice to do what they want to.. that their freedom of choice, and no one should be denied that . Calling abortion evil is like a Vegetarian saying eating meat is VERY unhealthy, unethical, and should be outlawed. . I feel that we MUST let women choose if they want an abortion or not, We are definitely not in the place to dictate their decisions. Whats right for them is none of our business.
I can blog my little heart away with pro-life blogs and as I pointed out to Saty recently I don't have the power to stop the woman down the street from getting an abortion. I probably don't even know about it or want to, am not gonna canvass the neighborhood trying to find out. Secondly abortion will not be outlawed in this country unless a strong and vast pro-life consensus forms in this country which we don't have now. That's the way our democracy and representative government works. We can throw this around a bit more if you want but I've a right to a negative opinion about the procedure, I can express it through blogging (free speech) and simply say I'm in favor of that future pro-life consensus in society if it ever forms. I really don't get this constant pro-choicism back at me that I somehow have autocratic powers to ban abortion.
DeleteGovernor McCrory passed out cookies to the protestors in Raleigh and then proceeded to sign legislation closing every single clinic but one in North Carolina.
ReplyDeleteConsensus my ass.
Oh I've been meaning to ask you let's just say pro-lifers won in the marketplace of ideas. No legislation involved, no laws just they've convinced young doctors not to enter the abortion business. No gov't coercion, no force, nothing just good old-fashioned persuasion aka Free Speech. OK so in your home state let's say there's not one single abortion clinic open and in my fictitious example this has nothing to do with McCrory would you then force by law doctors to learn abortion procedures since there's now a dire shortage and women can't exercise their rights etc.? Eagerly awaiting your answer.
DeleteRight you are Z man, but the other side has the same rights! Lets not forget that.
ReplyDeleteAnd that one remaining clinic in NC? They were informed two weeks ago of new codes and regulations... and suspended today because they hadn't got fully compliant yet. I don't know what those new codes/regs are, but I do know that giving a clinic two weeks notice is a bullshit call designed to ensure failure.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny though liberals are usually all for new codes and regulations...gosh ObamaCare has so many of them.
DeleteI never argued with the codes and regs. What I said is that two weeks notice on new regs is a bullshit call designed to ensure failure.
ReplyDeleteIf called upon to would you participate in an abortion procedure?
Delete' Eagerly awaiting your answer.' What they used to do: back alleys
ReplyDeletecoat hangers, etc.
Your answers always depress me. Can't you every once in a while even be mildly less pro-abortion?
DeletePro-abortion? Is that like anti-woman?. Just trying to be realistic. Abortion in one form or another has existed since before
ReplyDeletecivilization. Legal or illegal. Perhaps the question should be why? Why are some pregnant women so desperate? Why get pregnant
if you don't want a child? Who should make the choice? I saw a news clip on rapists wanting equal time with their child, I read about a nine year old girl, her doctors and mothers excommunicated.
I read of a woman forced to carry to term a fetus with only a brain stem. These are complex issues of medicine, psychology, physiology, religion, sex, morality, government and personal perception. I recognize that, I have my views and I understand why others have theirs.
Pro-abortion as in if you don't have a moral problem with abortion then logically you are pro-abortion by default. If you see it as some sort of positive social good you're pro-abortion. If you're not against abortion you must be for it. Does the statement "Fred is not against abortion but he's not for it either" make any logical sense to you two? Dunno, maybe my Logic Settings are old and need to be updated.
DeleteHere's how I feel about this: if you are a medical provider you have the benefit of choosing the area you work in. Don't like colonoscopies? Don't be a colorectal surgeon, don't be an endoscopy nurse. I have always been a generalist in nursing because I am a generalist in life. I have worked very hard to stay away from the specialties (although 'general medicine' is actually considered, in a weird twist, to be a specialty). I have in particular stayed away from working with pregnant women and/or children (doing homecare with Jakari is the one glaring exception and when we lost him it practically killed me).
ReplyDeleteThat being said, to imagine a situation where I was called upon to assist in an abortion procedure; in the context of places where I would conceivably put myself to work, there would be no planned, elective abortion procedures. Were I in the ER and called on to assist in an emergency situation, yes, absolutely.
As a nurse, if you don't want to do a certain something, you don't choose to work in that area. I don't like having all of one thing. I don't like oncology, don't like neurology, got bored with surgical and orthopaedics. Don't want to deal with screaming women and other people's children. Hated virtually every specialty I came across. LOVED general medicine. So that's what I chose; I worked in the one area most nurses hate.
You seem to think that people who want to preserve a woman's choice are somehow 'pro' abortion. As if we go around encouraging every pregnant woman we see to have an abortion, like we pass out flyers that tell people to choose death or something. Like we hate babies and don't want to see a single baby ever born because we enjoy the idea of abortion. I don't know why you insist on the 'pro' abortion title except maybe because it's hyperbolic and makes you feel good or something, but it's totally wrong. I'm pro woman. I'm pro a woman being in charge of her reproductive organs. I'm pro a woman being able to make her own decisions. If a woman decides on her own to have an abortion, I'm pro SAFE abortion; restricting it doesn't stop it, it just makes it dangerous. I'm pro women having their own judgement and moral convictions respected. I'm pro a woman doing what she believes is right according to her own life and circumstances.
But I understand... it's so much better for your side when you say 'pro abortion' because it fits the picture better to imagine that we sit in bushes on the side of the street in front of fertility clinics and OBGYN offices waiting to pounce on the women going in and out so we can encourage them to run off to the nearest clinic and have an abortion. Because that's what 'pro abortion' people do, right?
You needn't be encouraging people to have abortions to see it as a positive social good. Women being able to choose abortion to solve a social problem, if you see it through that particular lens then you become pro-abortion. I'm very pro-heart surgery, I'm very pro-hernia surgery, I'm very pro-cancer tumor-removal surgery but when we come to abortion nobody ever wants to admit they're pro-for that procedure. It's interesting and doesn't seem fair that pro-lifers get to be known as anti-abortion but nobody on the other side gets to be known as pro-abortion. A person who participates in an abortion whether it be the woman and/or boyfriend/husband and the doctor and staff of course is not pro-abortion??? It makes no logical sense to say we have a million abortions/year in this country but nobody is really pro-abortion. If you're not pro-something you don't then go out and do it unless you're in a kind of moral twilight zone.
DeleteI believe a woman should be able to choose abortion for whatever good reason they have. Not every woman chooses abortion to 'solve a social problem' and I don't think you could even back that up with any sort of fact. There are any number of reasons a woman might choose to terminate a pregnancy and you know what, whatever reason is good enough for her is good enough. It's not anyone else's decision, regardless of how many people feel that they have some sort of privilege to crawl up into a woman's crotch and make laws about it.
ReplyDeleteAnti abortion people are known as anti abortion people because that's what they are, they're against abortion. The opposition is called pro choice because that's what they're about, a woman's right to choose, no matter what that choice might be, whether it be to have an abortion, to carry the pregnancy, to carry the pregnancy and go for adoption.. the point is that the WOMAN'S CHOICE is what's being supported. It is not that a specific behavior is being promoted. It's supporting the right of the woman to make her own decision, to exercise self-determination. I equally support the woman who decides to continue her pregnancy as I do the woman who decides to end it. Because I support THE WOMAN and HER CHOICE. That's why it isn't 'pro abortion'. If it were pro abortion we'd be like the anti abortion people, handing out flyers, shouting obscenities, telling people they were going to hell, waving huge posters at passing cars and doing everything we could to make laws that force women to have abortions against their will.
But if you have no moral problem with a woman having an abortion by default you're not against abortion and from a PR perspective your framework doesn't seem quite fair that one side is always simply "anti-abortion" whereas the other side is never pro-abortion but we'll get back to this but you never answered The Question I posed above (I changed my comment settings to "threaded" or "embedded" btw so they can pop up above as long as you hit Reply). Since the legal option of abortion is so important to you let's say that sometime in the future in certain large geographic locales young budding doctors through their own free will choose not to enter the abortion profession, has nothing to do with the pro-lifers just that what kind of a career is this? unfulfilling, depressing etc. OK so over time there are no doctors out there willing or interested in performing the procedure and the older ones are retiring and so since it's so important for a woman to have this legal option would you force doctors to learn the procedure??????
DeleteThis is so much of a reach that it's ridiculous. Given that there will always be women who have ectopic pregnancies and other life-threatening emergencies, any OBGYN does now and will always learn the procedures involved. Because it's something they have to know. It's a medical procedure. So this is an entirely huge reach on your part. Now if there are no doctors in a given locale who want to perform elective abortions, that's one thing, that's fine, but just like every single OBGYN knows how to do a C section, knows how to do a hysterectomy, knows how to do a tubal ligation, every single OBGYN knows how to do a D&C, which is often used as an abortion procedure, and often used for medical reasons that have nothing whatsoever to do with pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteCan we try to keep this discussion within the bounds of the real world? That would be so much less time-wasting than these silly constructs that have no relation to actual circumstances.
That's because you don't want to answer the question. It is in the real world as a few years back Mayor Bloomberg of NYC his position was and still is to force young doctors just entering the medical profession to learn the different abortion procedures.
DeleteIs Weiner any relation to Pee Wee Herman?
ReplyDeleteHe may as well run too.
DeleteBoyfriend, husband, doctor, whoever, they're supporting the choice of the woman. Why can't you understand that? You support the woman no matter what her choice is, you support her right to make choices for herself, you say literally I support you no matter what your decision is. Do you deliberately misunderstand this? I get amazed sometimes at how insistent you are that supporting a woman's choice means you're pro abortion. I support the CHOICE no matter what the choice is. Why is this so incredibly difficult to understand?
ReplyDeleteWhy is it so incredibly difficult to admit that one is pro-abortion? The thing is if a person is not at least personally opposed to abortion on at least some level then by default that person is pro-abortion. PP is pro-abortion, doctors who perform abortions are pro-abortion, women who get abortions are pro-abortion, pro-choice lobbyists and advocacy groups are pro-abortion. It's a logical absurdity to say there are currently 1.2 million abortions/yr. in this country but nobody or very few people are pro-abortion.
DeleteWhy is it so incredibly difficult to admit that one is anti-woman?
ReplyDeleteBTW since you're up get me a beer bitch.
