Look, I'm a pretty forgiving and patient person among Tea Partiers I've known. I'm not bashful about stating my position on things but I make a strong effort to do so honestly based on provable facts and history. I also work hard at showing respect for those on the opposite side of the political spectrum and respecting their opposing views. But I've gotta draw the line here with this guy.
I was even saying about Representative Weiner that he deserves a fair shake (no pun intended) in the claims we've heard about lewd photos someone claimed he sent. Innocent until proven guilty I've said. After all, politicians, especially powerful ones and ones who've made a career of harsh criticism of others, have become targets of some pretty nasty stuff with no basis whatsoever.
But he just proved he's a jerk of the highest order. Check out his revelation:

If you've followed his political positions and comments, you know that he has been very, VERY harsh in his claims about 'The Right' and what Fox News says. VERY harsh without an ounce of give and take. Certainly NO forgivenss. And he has been one of the MOST impatient members of congress with tough questions from The Right and from Fox. He's been on the offensive against us on The Right for standing up for what we believe is right and what we believe is wrong with our country. I guess his revelation means that he's been taking what we said justifiably personally.
This man who is intollerant toward and devoid of forgiveness of others is no doubt going to ask for our forgiveness of him. I have to admit that's going to be very difficult for me because he's been very unfair in his attacks on beliefs of folks like me among the Tea Party crowd.
He is an immoral man and a total hypocrite. Oh, and he's a liar too. Add to that a poor excuse for a husband. He has surrendered all moral high ground that he has arrogantly claimed for so long. You want to know what's wrong with America? You don't have to look any farther than what men such as he who gather power to themselves do with that power. It disgusts me!
He says he doesn't believe that he has violated his oath to his constituents. Hey folks! He violated his oath to his wife!!! Even if he hasn't violated his oath to his constituents (which I think he has in principle if not in fact), he has proven that oaths mean nothing to him. He violated one important oath. Why should we believe he wouldn't violate others if it suited him? After all, he has also just proven himself to be a liar too.
It's time for politicians on both sides of the political spectrum to stop with the completely nonsense claims of moral supperiority and enlightenment. What are we citizens to conclude except that they're mostly morally corrupt liars who are unfit to work for us in government, especially in congress? What reason do we have REALLY(!) to believe that their oath of office means anything to them? Or, for that matter, the constitution? When do we stop forgiving them and pretending that their lying, immorality and unprincipled behavior don't matter?
