Anthony Weiner Resigns, My Warning to Republicans

New York Representative Anthony Weiner is reportedly resigning at 2PM today. I have called for Mr. Weiner's (I'm sorry but his name with what he did is a comics dream) resignation soon after this happened. I have also stated my admiration for the stances he took and the Progressive issues he supported. This being said, he caused a distraction that the Progressive movement can ill afford and I am glad that he has taken the correct step to resign. Now my warning to the Republican Party and it's leaders. We have sat back and watched as you failed to push your party members to resign, even though their offenses were as offensive as Mr. Weiners' or worse. We will not accept a person who committed a felon by soliciting prostitution, as Senator Vitter did. We will not let it slip by if a Senator,( John Ensign) pays off his staff member, to cover up the fact that he is intimate with that staff members wife. Don't forget that several Republican leaders were helping him in the cover up. We will not be idle as we were when Republican Governor Mark Sanford, states he is walking the Appalachian Trail while he was boinking his mistress in Argentina. These all happened recently and the Democrats looked the other way. The Republicans became attack dogs on Mr. Weiner and even attacked the Democratic leadership. My clear and loud warning to Republican leaders. I will be very loud and vocal about any hint of scandal from the Republican Party. If a Republican spits on the sidewalk and lies about it I will encourage other Progressive and Democrats to attack long and hard, until that individual is forced from office. The Democrats have set the bar. They persuaded Mr. Weiner to resign, before the Republicans did. I saw John Boehner, the man who always looks like he just sucked on a lemon, talk about the distraction, Weiner was from the important issues, facing the American people, but he never mentioned that it was the Republicans,who kept the distraction to the forefront. So if any Republicans have something you would like to get off your chest, now is the time. If you don't or lie about your involvement, your only recourse is to resign in disgrace. I will work very hard , to assure that happens. The American people will work very hard to make that happen. We deserve nothing less.
