How about Alcee Hastings? Impeached for bribery, but I don’t recall him being told he couldn’t run for Congress as a Democrat. Or Charlie Rangel? Or William Jefferson. There are no shortage of corrupt (morally and legally) national politicians. Clearly, violating the law does not bar someone from running for office for either party. Weiner’s “crime” was that he was hurting the Democratic Party in its primary goal (gaining more political power in the 2012 election). That sort of crime is not one either party is going to stand for.
