Report: Weiner Now Considering Resigning

After another cache of embarrassing photos featuring disgraced Rep. Anthony Weiner surfaced yesterday, the New York Daily News reports the New York Democrat is now considering resigning.
The outlet reports:
A source close to the congressman told the Daily News that he had been adamant about keeping his seat – even amid daily new revelations of his reckless sexting.
But the unrelenting media coverage, the demands from his party’s leaders that he step down and the appearance of more humiliating photos made Weiner realize he may not be able to bull his way through the crisis after all, the source said.
The Daily News also reveals that Weiner might listen to a call to step down from his mentor, NY Senator Chuck Schumer. Additionally, he’s apparently afraid of what Hillary Clinton might be whispering to his wife:
The source said one of the only people Weiner would listen to is his mentor, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Schumer has said he is “heartbroken” over Weiner’s implosion, but has stopped short of telling him to quit.
The other person Weiner will take advice from – his wife, Huma Abedin – is in Africa with her boss, Secretary of State Clinton. Weiner is still convinced Abedin won’t divorce him, and is telling people she wants him to stay in Congress, sources said.
The lusty lawmaker is afraid of what Clinton, who has some experience with misbehaving husbands, may be whispering to Abedin, the source said.
Weiner has unequivocally refused to step down in the week after admitting he lied to the press about inappropriate online relationships with several woman. Fellow Democrats had been sticking by his side. But after he admitted to having contact with a 17-year-old girl, many top-ranking Dems jumped ship, including DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Now, it seems, the calls for him to resign may have taken seed.

who tries most to promote its virtue, and who will not allow a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man.” – Samuel Adams
This is why the Wiener story is important. Bottom line, it’s up to us to be true friends to the liberty of our country by paying attention and weeding out ALL those that Samuel Adams describes.

He was bought,paid for, used up and tossed aside by the marxists slimes currently in power in the USA. It is way past time for AMERICA to throw the bums out.
Each of us should email, call CONGRESS (ha!) daily with our encouragement for them to have courage and to stand for AMERICA. We should also DEMAND that they start impeachment proceedings IMMEDIATELY against jerk in the wh who is “acting” as President and vote a “NO CONFIDENCE” vote against him which possibly could implode his power. We need to “tie him up” politically so he cannot do any more damage to our precious nation.

Posted on June 13, 2011 at 8:04amTHE TYRANT’S MISS-DIRECTION TACTICS
One of the wannabe Tyrant’s tried and true tactics is the publicizing of the irrelevant while covertly attacking our freedoms. The current media frenzy over Rep. Anthony Weiner’s misadventures is just another example of this tactic.
The Tyrant’s agenda is destroying our country and returning us to the poverty and despair of the Middle-Ages, yet, the Media is only concerned with the miss-adventures of a perverted Congressman. No wonder we are approaching an economic crisis that threatens to end the American Revolution.
What is the wannabe Tyrant trying to hide with this charade?

Posted on June 13, 2011 at 8:04amCHEEZWHIZ, of course that is what she is saying, she has been hanging with Hillary, and look what Hillary put up with for the sake of her political career. I’m sure Hillary told her to hang in there, that it would eventually blow over. Hillary did more to harm women by not ‘booting’ Bill to the curb than women’s lib ever did. She essentially told women to put up with their husband’s bad behavior for whatever sake they deemed important (nice message). She had a platform to remind couples what is most important – marriage vows – but chose her own self interest instead.

Posted on June 13, 2011 at 10:01amThe LAST thing Huma needs to be doing is listening to Hillary. Hillary didn’t have the integrity and guts to throw Bill out. She’ll be telling Huma to “stand by her man” too. Standing by them is enabling them. Huma needs to walk over Weiner and keep going and never look back. Which is what Hillary should have done and would have done if she was the strong, independent, thinking for herself, woman of integrity she wants the world to believe she is.

C’mon! If Hillary is saying anything other than “stick with him” it would be disingenuous. Hell, she stayed with Bill after he embarassed her and our nation by his actions with Monica Lewinsky in the White House. Hillary should have divorced Bill for what he did and Huma should divorce Anthony for what he did.
