Anthony Weiner, you are my hero!

Rate: 1 Flag

 I admit it. I don't that much about Anthony Weiner. But from what I've seen so far in this video, I like him. I like him a lot. I like his passion. In fact, I love it. I love that he wasn't afraid to get up and call out the Republicans for not backing a bill to aid 9/11 rescue and recovery workers. I love that he had the balls to tell it like it is, to say what he believes, to not hide behind the cover of niceties and formalities. Weiner said: " You vote in favor of something if you believe it's the right thing.  If you believe it's the wrong thing, you vote no." It doesn't really get more simple than that. Yes, of course I know politics is not quite so simple and governing is hard, but sometimes, things really are pretty black and white; and sometimes there really is a right and wrong way to do things.  And this is true whether you are a Republican, Democrat, Independent, etc.

scarletbegonia: if anybody could effectuate real change, it is Rep. Weiner; too bad about the congressional malaise though. An intense video. Thanks for the focus.
