In reply to the discussion: Anthony Weiner for Mayor poll.... [View all]ShadowLiberal
(2,237 posts)I don't live in NYC, and don't really know who any of the other people are running for mayor, but I'd never vote for Weiner in a primary. He's shown time and time again to be a complete idiot.
First, when early reports of the sexting scandal started Weiner should have been viciously attacking the media because the source of the story was Brietbart, a known serial liar who's stories like this have been thoroughly debunked but only after the mainstream media ruins someone reputation with a lie.
Second, when deciding to start to come clean that it was true Weiner like an idiot did it half way, claiming he couldn't 'confirm or deny' that the pictures were him, ensuring the story stayed alive even longer.
Third, he was dumb enough to resign from congress over what was really a minor scandal, a scandal entirely about his personal life and not something horrible he did on the job in congress. He should have simply just said he wasn't running for reelection, and served out the rest of his term.
And then fourth, the fact that Weiner was dumb enough to keep up his sexting even after resigning. And then to handle that new info on his sexting scandal he pulls the old 'get the wife to publicly defend me for my actions of cheating on my wife', that's just disgusting hiding behind his wife like that.
If Weiner was elected, he would continue to be a national embarrassment for the entire democratic party.
If I lived in NYC I would not want someone who has proven themselves a complete idiot in so many ways over the last few years to be my mayor.
