It's quite a sad state our country finds itself in when situations such as Anthony Weiner's are so common amongst our "leaders". After lying to the entirety of America for 10 days he then chooses to confess. Has he resigned his position though? No. Why? Because he's not really that sorry. And he doesn't really have that level of integrity. Why do such actions not have pre-determined consequences anymore? In days gone by if such an occurrence took place it would go without question that he would resign or be asked to leave by all of his colleagues. Why is he so important that any one of his constituents would have to put up with his type of behavior? What great value has he contributed that we all have to overlook now that a confirmed liar sits with those who determine our national destiny? Are there so few worthy people among us that we cannot possibly fill the hole that would be left by his departure? I think not. I think there are a lot of people that could do quite well in that seat and not lie to us all.
The days of tax cheats, adulterers, liars and all other derogatory descriptors of politicians has to end. We need to take our country back and raise up leaders of character and morality.
