Then "they" need to get a clue. Foley never was my leader (or a leader of the vast majority of Americans). He represented one district in Florida. He no longer represents even them.
It's stupid to extend the blame to Hastert when he probably knew far less about the problem than did several Democratic leaders.
If voters are really going to choose which party to vote for, based on concerns about Congresscritters "trolling for teens", they need to seriously ask themselves which party likely has more Representatives engaging in this kind of behavior.

This is whistling in the wind. The Republican Party is the party of values. Sexual hedonists and perverts know who to vote for already, and it isn't the Republicans. We are held to a different standards. There is no point in complaining about unfairness. It is what it is, and the Republican Party is letting whatever chance they had slip away through their own languid behavior.
