"That politician must be some kinda prevert!"
Let's see if barney frank(rommate ran homosexual prostitution ring) comes to his defense.
From the home page of CNN.com
"Republican Rep. Mark Foley of Florida will not run for reelection amid questions about e-mails he sent to a former Capitol Hill page, Republican sources say."
I'm thinking we'd better wait until we hear it from the horse's mouth--this sounds incredibly like a MSM smear campaign to me!

"Rep. Foley considering resigning"
There's a big leap between Resigning and CONSIDERING resigning...something still smells about this whole situation.
chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.. ?
also a member of the RMSP..
double ouch
Who was Club for Growth backing in the primary? Get him or her in there and pronto!
Will the democrat candidate be unchallenged or does the law allows the GOP to nominate someone else?
Why am I not surprised?
I guess this may explain his RINO stances on social issues.
Jerkoff pervs like this just feed the MSM frenzy.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
"...and coming up next on C-SPAN, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California criticizes the Republicans for ostricizing the GOP's gay and pedophile members."
From the last Page eruption:
How do congressmen keep their place in a book?
Bend over a Page!
What's the partisan breakdown on this district? Can it be held if a replacement is allowed?
I must say, this is beginning to feel like shades of '94 with all these scandals coming down just prior to the election.
I've read the WashPost story (linked below) and can see how the emails could be interpreted as gay-ish. But they could also be interpreted as NOT gay-ish.
Other posters have raised comparisons with Barney Frank, and I'm here to tell you there is no comparison.
Guy got railroaded.
Can we get Katherine Harris to run for his seat?
Hmm. I guess there was a "there" there.
he dropped out of the race?
I am surprised, I really did not think there was much to this story. Now it makes me think that perhaps there is more in those emails that was not released that is far more suspect than asking about a birthday and a photo. Wonder if anyone has any more of the emails published?
Disgusting, and I hope, if proven this is true after an investigation, he is charged and gets to go to jail. Damn congressman, preying on teens.
What a stupid idiot. And I am biting my tongue to not say what I am thinking, that sick pervert!!
Look for the Dems to try to make hay of this, as in:
"This reminds us that the Republicans can talk the talk on family values, but they can't walk the walk. We are the party that can make sure the Republicans don't starve your kids or get your sons killed in Iraq."
On the other hand, whenever the Dems try to make hay of anything, they go too far and alienate voters in their usual out-of-touch way.
I read the emails when I first heard of this. I don't see anything wrong with them! What is wrong with a congressman taking a personal interest in a page? Should adults avoid all contact with children to avoid allegations of impropriety? What is this world coming to??
Mark Foley was a remarkably effective congressman. The only troubling aspect is that he resigned, which may mean that further scrutiny would have revealed something questionable. But on the facts as they stand now, there is no evidence that anything inappropriate transpired!
The double standard is staggering. Barney Frank's gay lover can run a gay prostitution ring out of his basement, the DemonRats can have a former KKKer who dropped the N Bomb very recently, etc...etc...etc... but our guys resign at the drop of a hat on mere allegations. It makes me so mad I can SPIT!!! Hopefully, this will backfire big time on Foley's Rat opponent.
