Oh? I can honestly say - I have many times so far foregone more $ $ $ to keep my integrity intact in my career. I have never taken so much as .01 in my career I did not honestly earn.

I am not nearly at the level of others who make a lot more than me, but i can say without any doubt i have NEVER taken so much as .01 in my careeer not earned honestly.

You know I'm just busting your balls man... Nothing personal.

"We all have things we're not proud of hanging in our closet," he said on his way into El Greco diner. "If his wife can forgive him, I can, too."

Rep. Eric Cantor to Rep. Anthony Weiner: Resign
The State Column | Staff | Wednesday, June 08, 2011

Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor called on New York Rep. Anthony Wiener to resign, making him the latest Republican to slam the New York Democrat since he admitted to sending lewd photos through his Twitter account.

“I don’t condone his activity. And I think he should resign,” Mr. Cantor said Tuesday.

“We’ve got a lot of serious challenges in this country and a lot of work for Congress to do,” Mr. Cantor added. “The last thing we need to do is get enmeshed in a discussion about Congressman Weiner and his Twitter activities.”

The Virginia Republican is the latest member of Congress to call for Mr. Weiner’s resignation. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus called for Mr. Weiner’s resignation earlier in the day.

Mr. Cantor’s call for Mr. Weiner’s resignation comes as the New York Democrat continues to face pressure from both Democrats and Republicans. Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Steve Israel said late Monday that House Democrats will call for an ethics investigation into the matter.

In his Monday press conference Weiner said he had no plans to resign.

Former DNC chairman Tim Kaine says Rep. Weiner should resign
By Daniel Strauss - 06/08/11

The former chairman of the Democratic National Committee has called for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign.

"Lying is unforgivable," said Kaine, the first Democrat to call outright for Weiner's (D-N.Y.) resignation.

Kaine, who is running for retiring Sen. Jim Webb's (D-Va.) Senate seat, said in an interview with a local Virginia television station on Tuesday: "Lying publicly about something like this is unforgivable and he should resign."

Kaine's comments follow Weiner's admission that he sent a lewd picture of himself through Twitter to a female college student in Washington state. At a tearful press conference, Weiner acknowledged he had lied to his family, colleagues and constituents when he initially said his Twitter account had been hacked.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday called for an ethics investigation of Weiner as Democrats sought to distance themselves from the congressman; a number of Republicans have called for Weiner's resignation.

Weiner announced during the same press conference that he had no plans to resign his congressional seat.

A recent NY1-Marist Poll found that a majority of New Yorkers think Weiner should not resign his seat.

He should be forgiven. That doesn't mean he should keep his job.

What does being Forgiven mean?

Depends on who you ask I guess. To me it means you accept someone's apology. Or, if they don't apologize, resolve in your own mind that you forgive them for what they've done.

What it doesn't mean is you don't hold the person accountable. Accountability and forgiveness are compatible.

Anthony Weiner explained self to Bill Clinton
Politico ^

________________________ _______________________

Rep. Anthony Weiner explained himself and apologized for his conduct to Bill Clinton, who officiated his wedding to wife Huma Abedin, sources familiar with the call said.

Weiner made the call within the past 48 hours. It took place following his emotional press conference Monday in New York City, where he admitted that he had posted a lewd photo of himself to Twitter 10 days earlier, the sources said.

It wasn’t immediately clear what was said on the call, but sources said that the Clintons - who are deeply loyal to Abedin - are distressed by the “sexting” scandal that Weiner immersed his wife in.

If you knew someone who has blantatly lied to your face and tried to do everything in thier power to hide it, to the point of calling you crazy for even making the accusation, how much trust would you put in them to do the right thing when absolutly necessary the next time? Would you trust them with your wife, your kids, your money, your property?

If you say yes, then you are one gullible person.

I certainly would. I don`t delve into the personal lives of my broker, bank or financial advisor nor do I care to. They could be doing lines off another mans pet goat and I wouldn`t care as I would never even know or have any interest or desire to know.

So again - so long as they push the far leftist agenda, you dont care what they do? correct?

Nope. I said the same thing about Mark Sanford as well. I DO NOT CARE what people do or what makes them horny. It does not bother me. I will defend anybody and their private life. Vitter should not resign ever, Sptizer should have stayed. It means absolutely nothing at all other than they like to have a good time.
