And therefore will not be seeking reelection.

Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) will not seek re-election after only one term in office.

According to several House aides – on both sides of the aisle – the House ethics committee has been informed of allegations that Massa, who is married with two children, sexually harassed a male staffer.

Massa told POLITICO early Wednesday afternoon that no one has brought allegations of misconduct to him.

I'm s ure some uber liberal poster will go off on Republicans and how this guy was a closet Republica, yadda yadda yadda

He's not running for re-election because he is dying of cancer. While the sexual harassment accusation may someday be proven to be true, it is as of now just an accusation. Furthermore, sexual harassment isn't as simple as to suggest Rep. Massa was making sexual moves on a male employee. Sexual Harassment can include:

# discussing sexual activities;
# telling off-color jokes;
# unnecessary touching; (95% of baseball players have been sexually harassed by coaches )
# commenting on physical attributes;
# displaying sexually suggestive pictures;
# using demeaning or inappropriate terms, such as "Babe";
# using indecent gestures;
# using crude and offensive language

For what its worth, in his statement today, Massa said "I made my statement. The allegations are totally false. I'm a salty old sailor. That's that."

Having been sexually harrassed and having my wife sexually harrassed last year, I don't think I need an education on what qualifies.

Travis, you and I both know that if this were a republican in this situation you wouldn't buy his denial andwould be more thanwilling to bash the living fuck out of him. You also wouldn't have posted that information either

You're the one who took the accusation of sexual harassment and declared Massa likes cock because of that.

Did Massa sexually harass a male employee? Maybe... probably, but does that mean he made sexual advances towards him? No. Should Massa be reprimanded if the allegations are true? Yes. Should he resign? Probably. Do I buy his denial? The way I read into it he was admitting he says stuff he probably shouldn't and that may have led to the accusation of sexual harassment, that of course doesn't mean he went up to the staffer and said "give me a blowjob or get out" it could have been a joke that was overly sexual that caused the complaint. So I wouldn't say I am buying his denial.

As for my actions if it were a republican. I am a democrat, it isn't my responsibility to defend republicans, nor is a republicans job on here to defend a democrat.

You do though need education on everything else.

Yeah, youngster, it's a double stardard here that we all enjoy. They call em double standards cuz they is twice as true.

Not at all, in fact it's only news because he's a Democrat.


Republican sex scandals aren't news unless there is a woman involved.

You don't need to defend democrats either. Both sides are full of fucking perverted assholes that doesn't actually give a shit about anyone except their pocketbook and the pocket book of their largest financial supporters.


It's partisanship bullshit like this that is the reason the country is going down the fucking shitter faster than any thing. If someone fucks up, don't fucking defend them just because they are a fucking democrat/republican and then bash another person just because they are they other.


Partisan ignorance is just as bad as racial or sexual orientation ignorance.


This goes for both sides. I'm getting sick of both sides doing shit like this....and on this site tman, d1b, cap, kyjellyeater, hounddawg and you (unh) are the worst at it. It doesn't matter how bad your side fucks up, it is ok because they are on your side. It's all fucking bullshit, and the reason I stay out of politics...both here and in real life

Yet here you sit on a political forum........btw, get it right, what you really mean is that the folks you mention are the best at it.

Whoever is paying for your schoolin' ain't gettin' their money's worth.

edit: Not to mention that it needs five of us to keep up with tman's BS.

Once again, I wasn't defending him, I was simply pointing out that because someone has been accused of Sexual Harassment doesn't mean he was trying to get in bed with the person.

Would you have done that if it was a republican accused of it?

I don't see why this is news at all.

Heck, Barney Frank has managed to strengthen his hold on his congressional seat, sit in congress for 30 years or so, and even chair the House Financial Services Committee (which means he has me by the balls- pun intended) despite having paid a male prostitute for sex and subsequently hiring him as his personal assistant while the male prostitute used Frank's Washington apartment as a base for prostitution.

If a member of the GOP had done the same thing the MSM would have crucified him and that person would have been forced to resign in disgrace.

True, and not fair to some of them. It just seems like the Republicans that get caught are always the ones that trumpet "family values" the loudest.

You shouldn't hold public office if you're ashamed of who you are.

I could not agree with you more.

That's why Barney Frank doesn't piss me off like the family values guys. I don't care if you put a garter belt on a goat and call her Daisy Belle if it's the honest you.

A GOP state Sen in Cali is apparently on the lam after being picked up for DWI. Rumors are swirling that this major anti-gay-rights'er has been seen in West Sac gay bars for several weeks....

Cr@p! UNH beat me to it....

Why are lying, cheating, sex obsessed men attracted to public office??? Are all American males like this?

Wow! I do believe we have a triple redundancy here.

mainejeff wrote:Why are lying, cheating, sex obsessed men attracted to public office??? Are all American males like this?

Because they like power, which the lying and cheating give them....so does public office.


Oh, and they are probably some of the better liars too
