I'm not missing the big picture at all. I fully understand the risk those players impart for the GOP. If I were a candidate (as opposed to whatever the hell she is), I'd be calling her and telling her to get back to Wasilla and STFU. The point I was making was limited to this single instance and the classless reaction against her...simply because it's her.
all of today's politics is classless. who needs class when you have bullet points and base? honestly, it's both sides pandering to the primaries.
Tell me it was palin's idea, all on her own, to drive that campaign bus glorified RV over to New Hampshire where romney was announcing. so all these politicos (right and left) will be running around looking for hard line photo ops and what happens in the general? they both trip over themselves running to the middle.
you've seen it time and again, why are you askin "why are the democrats making a big deal?" if i were obama, i would sponsor palin. he's the man who benefits from the hyper-partisanship/base pandering that happens before the general election.
I agree it was stupid and classless on her part to steal Romney's thunder like that.

I'm just looking at the Paul Revere incident in isolation and the behavior of those not just in the Dem political machine, but those in the "objective, unbiased, media."

nope not illegal, and he will not go to jail for it. On the other hand it is not illegal for his constituents to turn their backs on him and run him out on a rail either.
Why should they? He cheated on his wife, not embezzle the treasury or something.

I hope he keeps his seat just to spite the moral orels.
An exclusive NY1-Marist poll shows that 51 percent of city voters want Weiner to remain in office. Only 30 percent believe he should resign and 18 percent are unsure.
30% of New Yorkers need to get lives.
So the fact that he lied to his constituents (and everyone else) is irrelevant, then? It has nothing to do with "cheating."

It won't happen. He's got just about the safest seat in the country. It's been gerrymandered so that it's full of black people, Jews and hipsters. Hell would have to freeze over before it ever voted Republican.

Absolutely. Hate crime laws protecting synagogues, aid to Israel, the Dems have had them locked up. It's changing a bit though because of people like dilbert who equate all jews with zionism and cast palestinians as victims. They cant coexist within the Democratic Party so some are leaving. Still safe however.

Some officials hold themselves to a standard and resign. Others...not so much.

Did he get elected to public office?

Did his "private life" become public fact?

Did he then lie about instead of just saying "Yes, but it's my private life."?

Shows a seriously flawed character, that he would lie, accusing others of misdeeds, to protect his image, rather than owning his mistake and its consequences. But I guess it's OK to have those traits for you?

Like it or not, elected officials are held to a different, higher standard of behavior. Just as others given the public's trust are.

Welcome to politics.

What you say regarding having a sense of honor, altruism, higher standards of behavior is something we should hold our public officials to.  But we only bring up those character flaws when it suits our agenda or when the media runs with a story.

Bank of America lets you have a choice. Either disallow any transaction over your balance or allow it and take the $35 fee. It's perfect, because for people like me with only part time jobs obviously I can't afford a $35 feee every time I overdraft, but for a big business person or someone with the money to spare and they just use the account a separate entity, they can take the fee. Works out for everyone.

KJ: Because that tends to be the only time those flaws are exposed. However, it applies to lobbyism and all other forms of questionable activity...hence the reason they are questionable.

Public officials lie all the time.  That's a given.  And that's why you are pissed with this specific politician?  OK.
