From yesterday…..we will see if they change their mind again. ~ Wild Thing
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Shultz (D-FL) and fellow New York Representative Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee all called on embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) to resign today. The move is a complete reversal of Pelosi’s position from just twenty four hours ago.

Defiant Weiner won’t resign, seeks ‘treatment’
A defiant Rep. Anthony Weiner will not resign and will instead seek treatment even as a the top leaders of the Democratic Party abandoned him en masse Saturday after it was revealed that he had communicated online with a 17-year-old Delaware girl.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the party’s top campaign chiefs — Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) — all called on Weiner to resign in statements released within minutes of each other.
But Weiner has ignored those calls and announced Saturday afternoon that he’s seeking “professional treatment.”
“Congressman Weiner departed this morning to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person,” Weiner’s office said in a statement provided to POLITICO. “In light of that, he will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well. Congressman Weiner takes the views of his colleagues very seriously and has determined that he needs this time to get healthy and make the best decision possible for himself, his family and his constituents.”
Weiner, a New York Democrat, admitted on Monday that he had sent sexually charged text messages and photographs to a series of six women over three years. On Friday, FOX News reported that Wilmington-area police had visited a Delaware teenager to discuss his back-and-forth with her.
Weiner and the girl’s family have told news outlets that there was no indecent communication, but the evidence that he carried on a discussion of any kind with a 17-year-old girl was clearly the final straw for Democratic leaders.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
I think they migiht be worried about minors that might be involved with Weiner.
What’s interesting about the timeline is that he seems to have told the DNC that he was seeking treatment, THEN they asked him to resign.
I wonder how many young girls are out there that they don’t know about? Young teenage girls who are scared to come forward.
This creep needs to resign, and then he needs to be arrested. And as BobF said how many underage girls are out there who are afraid to come forward? This guy is not fit to be allowed amongst polite society, he is a preditor and should be delt with as such.
He really is a sick louse. I do hope his victims seek treatment and also stop using the internet for kicks. So unsafe!
Weiner is a disgrace to the principles of honorable patriots Americans have sought to represent them. Shame on you! The only redemption you should hope to achieve, is to vacate the Office of Honor you have disgraced. Your conduct as a Citizen, of a Christian Nation has also been dishonored. Your practices of Office, have also disgraced the Constitution of the United States of America. Your Exit from Office is your only redemption.
Weiner is one Sick Unit. Please someone, give him a little blue pill. Then, escort him to the Rubber Room.
I am calling on DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Shultz (D-FL) to resign from Congress immediately. Her bigoted and racist remarks do far more damage to the Republic of the United States than do the sexual perversions of Barney Frank (D-MA) and Anthony Weiner (D-NY) put together.
I’m with you Avitar,Wasserman-Schultz is a bigot. And being the nice Jewish boy that I am, I’d very much enjoy kicking the crap out of these two commies who unfortunately claim the same religion as I.
sign–h-ll no, fire him, no pension, med care.
If any cop/fireman, service man/women pulled this crap they would be fired/discharged with no benifits.
resign–h-ll no, fire him, no pension, med care.
If any cop/fireman, service man/women pulled this crap they would be fired/discharged with no benifits.
I didn’t do it. My disease made me do it.
Democrat Anthony Weiner – Deviance – Degeneracy – Depravity – Debauchery – Decadence – Fin de Siècle
‘nough said.
It took me a few days to even post about him it made me so disgusted. This kind of thing is not sexy, it is repulsive to me.
Avitar ditto all you said!!
