Reply #71: i agree. do people on this board know what blackmail is?

[ironrooster]

do you guys understand that the politician (he is just a politician) has been compromised?
do you understand that politicians can be made into puppets by having something on them?

this isn't about weiner (the man) - it's about his capacity to serve his constituents' best interests.
that's what we want politicians to do - represent our interests.
so it's not like some neighbor of yours "sexting" it's about an elected politician possibly getting a phone call at 3am
in the morning "suggesting" how he should vote in the morning.

hell - we don't even know if what has been uncovered is the worst
of it. he lied thus far - why not lie more?

why the fuck do not otherwise sane people around here comprehend the severity of the damage that has been done?
ferchrissakes - he isn't a "private" citizen! he doesn't get a pass on this.
