In reply to the discussion: If you were President Obama How Would YOU Explain Mayoral Candidate Weiner's E-Mail Flashing? [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)"quinnox."..I can't believe you are saying this? You don't think that the Monica Thing compromised Bill Clinton in his second term? You don't think that if Weiner has a real problem that needs to be addressed that he goes online as a 40 Something and keeps posting photos of himself and his "member" in compromising positions to attract young women (even if they were underage...how would he know) and then engages them in sexual conversations that could compromise both he and those he entices is a problem?
If a Repug did this you'd not be concerned. How should one decide to vote for a Candidate if their life is so compromised that entice young folks with sexual pictures of their Private Parts and then have to resign but DO IT AGAIN and run for Mayor or Higher Office.
I find it hard to understand why you don't think that character has something to do with policy and that compromised character means one might elect a compromised Politician who will NOT be the person you thought you voted for and is therefore not someone who is fit to SERVE THE PEOPLE.
Help me understand you here.
