Why is everybody railing against Anthony Weiner? You would think that at the very least, the people that voted for him would be sticking by him! How can they back away now? They got what they wanted, obviously. Y'see, politics has nothing at all to do with Republicans, or Democrats, or Whiggs for that matter. Politics has everything to do with people's social makeup.(not to be confused with social networking, where you don't have to wear makeup)
Anthony Weiner is a liberal. He has a liberal mindset. As did President Clinton. Liberal minded people take a more liberal approach to all things in their life, just as conservative minded people take a more conservative approach to all things in life. This has nothing to do with political party affiliation. There are liberal Republicans, and conservative Democrats. There are conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats. There are ugly Republicans and ugly Democrats. And there's Sarah Palin.
Much too often, decisions are made at the highest levels of government in this country just for the sake of "the party". That's a load of crap if you ask me. I don't give a damn what political party you're in or how much money you've got, or how many prostitutes you keep on your payroll. You owe it to the Country & the people that voted for you to stand up for their rights, and to fight as hard as you can for the things that benefit your constituents. Even if it pisses off everybody in your party. Actually, you should do it just so it DOES piss off everybody in your party.
What we need in politics are people who don't give a crap about what anybody thinks about them. Who don't give a crap about the next term. Who'll tell all the big-money lobbyists to kiss their ass. Who'll care about what's best for America. Who'll fight tooth & nail for what's best for America. Who won't compromise their principles, whether they be liberal or conservative. Who won't even read the polling reports.
We need someone who won't mind sitting on the back deck & drinking a cold beer with a few guys named Junior and Malik and Pedro. Who won't see color, or money, or status as an advantage. Somebody who know's what it's like to fix up a '69 Camaro just to get to school. Somebody with callouses on their hands and blisters on their feet. Somebody that's worked for a living.
I know people who will almost go to blows over a difference of political opinion. I like to know what both sides feel or think, but most of the time you can't have an intelligent discussion with people because once they hear one of your viewpoints differs from theirs, all they want to do is beat the crap out of you & prove they're right. I hope I'm never that left or right leaning.
If a guy wants to take a crotch shot and send it to half of Manhattan, who should give a crap other than his family? To preach now that you're shocked & disappointed that a liberal acted in a liberal way is ridiculous, and more than a little hypocritical. That'd be like Hitler telling little Hanz that it's okay to play with the jewish kid down the block. In the words of Rodney King, "why can't we all just get along?"(I think that was right before the cops beat the crap out of him)
Oh, one more thing. If you don't vote for anybody, you don't have the right to bitch about whoever won. There's a name for people like this. I'm not referring to "arm-chair quarterback" either. I'm referring, of course to "ignorant, dumb-ass, knuckle-dragging, monkey-blowing morons". Your most important civil right, and you can't even find the energy to turn off Barney Miller re-runs and go cast your vote.
And no, I won't run for President.
