So, guess tomorrow Wash Dems will start asking for Sen Tom Coburn to resign, right?

The guy brokers a "bribe" with the married man of a woman having an affair with an at the time US Sen and guess how many Dems ask for his resignation? Oh, on top of that, this Sen is pushed to group of senators who then are given the power to overrule political negotiations.

Just love it.

2. Not "Family Values." Breitbart's values.

And he can change them at will and we will bow down to his decision.

ACORN, Sherrod, Weiner, NEXT?

3. Van Jones, Juan Carlos Vera

And he screwed up a few. But no thanks to Democrats. Had he not been caught on the Shirley Sherrod issue, and again no thanks to Democrats, they fired her instantly, he would have brought down the NAACP which was his goal. It's so easy for him, he doesn't even have to try hard.

Who's next? He's working on Planned Parenthood, and Dems are likely to help there too.

And I've heard he has Al Franken and Sen. Sanders in his sights.

I'm sure the Dems will oblige again, when he's ready.

Have they even once stopped him? I can't think of any.

It is beyond sad. Either they are the weakest party ever or they are in collusion with him. I don't know which would be better.

4. Well, I don't call fellow Democrats "they."

Suckers, maybe. Spineless, maybe. Patsies, maybe. But not "they."

'they' I didn't want to repeat 'democrats' again. Personally right now after watching Nancy et al do a perfect imitation of Family Values Republicans during the Clinton sex 'scandal' and at least they, Repubs, were doing it to a member of the opposition, on the weekend no less, I think what I would like to call them is not printable.

8. Yes it is. With a little sidestepping.

No direct name-calling. No "You sir are a spineless, bottom feeding horse's ass which is clearly a nuclear mutant. Do you live near a reactor?" None of that.

You can say, "It is odd that when I read your arguments the picture of a spineless, scum sucking horse's ass jumps into my head, reminding me of the strange creatures that dwell near reactors".

Discretion.

10. Asked for Coburn to resign?

I can't recall a single one asking for Coburn to resign. Not for the brokering deal or for his bizarre extreme views.

12. Phhh...they all do it...

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a 75%+ infidelity rate among elected officials in Washington. Weiner just got caught. Most of 'em are guilty. Heck, it's probably a big symptom of the problem of power and privilege there.

14. False?

What false equivilancy?

Infidelity is infidelity, regardless of party affiliation. If a man is unable to stay faithful to the vows he made his wife, then his character is suspect. I don't know if I could vote for someone who I know cheated...I would just write-in or vote another party.

17. Yes, false...

if you are implying/associating what a Vitter/Ensign/Sanford did with what Rep. Weiner did... then you need to find another shade of color other than black & white.
