If Albanese and Liu would have the good taste to DROP OUT ALREADY ( they're close to deBlasio ideologically and just draining votes at this point) deB would be leading the pack.

That scandal will be long forgotten and New Yorkers would be more interested in local issues instead of personal issues.

Weiner will probably make a comeback and win the mayoral post and probably do an outstanding job, given the chance.

"getting things done" department--all he's good at is making blustery speeches and self-promotion.

He's not even close to having the best stand on local issues--DiBlasio is much better.

What the hell is wrong with this record?

http://www.ontheissues.org/NY/Anthony_Weiner.htm

You all are ruining a good politician with this media-stoked protestant porn.

Fuck this silliness about his "lies." Over WHAT. Over stuff that is NO ONE'S damned business to begin with. Stop jumping a wounded Democrat like jackals who smell blood. Start remembering how good this man has been for The People.

HERE. Here are PAST GOOD REASONS THAT FAR OUTWEIGH HIS FOIBLES.
About health care:



About insurance:


About governance:


DEMOCRATS AND PROGRESSIVES: STOP EATING YOUR OWN. SUPPORT A GOOD REP OF THE PEOPLE!

when advocating for those causes.

Weiner has a problem with self-control and an apparent arrogance about the whole ordeal that his defenders share.
