Well if osama bin ladin's mother would have had had an abortion there would not be 3,000 people dead or two 110 story towers destroyed.
One can't deal wit "what ifs' but deal with the here and now, and the GOP has dealt with the her and now properly(booting foley) while the democrats keep such people as barney frank and ted kennedy in psoitions of prestige and power.
Dane, you are being full of crap. They knew there was a problem. Firstly, it's been an open secret in Washington for YEARS, that Foley is gay. I knew about him being outed at least 2 years ago.
The House Leadership gets a hold of Foley emailing 16 year old male pages, in creepy conversations. They sit on it for a year. You equate this to Osama's mother psychically knowing to abort her son because 45 years later she would know he would be a terrorist.
Give it up. They screwed up. Have you given one thought to the fact that there might be more pages this year since they sat on their hands? The house is not that important to me, that we can let pedophiles slide. It obviously is more important to you, and to Hastert too.
Have you not read this link?
