Weiner's Back

[uke2se]

Saying that the GOP has a war on women is just as legitimate as my comment about supporting Weiners abuse of his wife.

Keep thinking that, and the Democrats will never lose the White House.

Slate has a sexting pseudonym name generator so now you too can have an awesome name like the one Weiner used during his latest shenanigans to use during your own politically-damaging escapades, should you so choose.

History has proven the pendulum always swings no matter how bad one side screws up or how well one side does. Voters grow weary of each party eventually and the tide shifts.

Then the GOP is doomed to wallow in denial until the tide turns and women somehow becomes a minority. Good luck with that.

Yes, Huma Abedin not dumping her husband for naughty text messages is exactly the same as passing numerous laws regulating and limiting womens' reproductive choices.

Looking positive for the GOP in midterms.

Yes, praise for a liberated woman that continues to put up with a dishonest, unfaithful husband is an ironic, hypocritical example from the left that screams "war on women" when people complain about being forced to pay for birth control pills and are characterized as "limiting women's reproductive choices".

Yes, praise for

Because the Left is all about making judgements on people's relationships. Not like those liberated conservatives, with their required invasive ultrasounds, support for sodomy laws, and demands that insurance companies not cover womens' healthcare. No war on women here....

Well, thanks to Obamacare, now women won't have to pay for birth control pills. You must be very happy with the President.

Because she said it was a difficult time that required hours of counseling.

Even if she didn't care about the flirting being dragged through that media circus isn't fun.

 

[Ziggurat]

Looks like Weiner is going to continue to stick it out, despite the latest revelations.

I thought the latest revelations were about him continuing to stick it out.

I would never vote for Weiner on the grounds that anybody dumb enough to get caught a second time is too dumb to hold public office.

I love the double standard on display in this thread;if this were a conservative Republican a lot of Weiner's supporters here would be leading the lynch mob.

 

[dudalb]

He just needs to disappear from public life.

"Democrats war on women" - lol, get a new schtick, you can't just take your parties problems and turn around and throw it at others. At least adults can't.

Agreed. Forget what you think about his on line sex.lying about it and then being stupid enough to do it a second time after being caught he enough to convince me he should not hold public office on grounds of Dishonesty and Stupidity.

I've heard video commentary. Give it a couple of days and hopefully it will be transcribed and indexed.

Because the Left is all about making judgements on people's relationships.

Because the left is about empowering women, then giving them passes when they get stepped on as long as there is a Dem involved in an election.

Do you think that's because of the GOP's war on women?

 

[Cleon]

then giving them passes when they get stepped on

Wow, you actually seem to think Huma is at fault, here. I guess that's another difference between Left and Right.

Yes.

On what basis do you conclude that?

Because the left is about empowering women, then giving them passes when they get stepped on as long as there is a Dem involved in an election.

That poor strawman is looking the worse for wear.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Huma is hot. She needs to dump this loser and hook up with me.

I think that's because the pendulum swings regardless of the left trying to frame the bogus "war on women" on the GOP.

Wow, you actually seem to think Huma is at fault, here. I guess that's another difference between Left and Right.

You aren't paying attention. My criticism isn't of Huma. It's of the left's hypocrisy of claiming that there is a war on women while supporting a women who is clearly putting up with an irresponsible, dishonest husband. She is obviously doing this for political advantage by bringing it into a news conference, which is her choice. The problem I have is the various commentaries that give her props for hanging in there while talking about empowering women and fabricating the war on women narrative.

In what way do you feel that not demanding that a woman act a certain way and instead letting her make her own life choices for herself is disempowering to women?

 

[Cleon]

You aren't paying attention.

Oh, I'm paying attention. The problem is that your argument is nonsensical.

My criticism isn't of Huma.

And yet people are "giving her a pass" for something, clearly indicating that in your opinion she should be criticized for something.

It's of the left's hypocrisy of claiming that there is a war on women while supporting a women who is clearly putting up with an irresponsible, dishonest husband.

"Supporting" how, exactly? By not condemning her? Is this everyone on the left, or just your so-far-unsubstantiated claims to have seen a video somewhere?

And I'm not seeing the "hypocrisy" between criticizing the GOP's legislative efforts ("war on women") and refusing to condemn a woman whose private life we are not privy to.

She is obviously doing this for political advantage by bringing it into a news conference, which is her choice.

What political office does she hold? Or is she aspiring to one? I mean, you claim to know her motivations, so out with it.

fabricating the war on women narrative.

"Fabricating?" Yeah, that fails the laugh test.

Sorry, but the "left" has nothing to do with the GOP's war on women. It's all on the GOP.
