I must agree in part because it is so close to an election. It is suspect for the same reason. It would not be the first time a Republican was slandered and framed close to an election. Is there any proof the boy in question actually exists?
If it's true, the man deserves to lose his seat, and be disgraced. Hopefully the media has it wrong, and there are not enough people ignorant or stupid enough to vote in cut and run demons. I pray that is the case.
I just think that there has to be SOME reason that he would resign so quickly...
Tom Delay fought for a LONG time before he realized that even though he is innocent (he says)...the MSM would NOT let him get reelected.
"It would not be the first time a Republican was slandered and framed close to an election."
No, it would not. However, with what little was made public, there is NO way he would have resigned if he were innocent. He's a popular incumbent. They couldn't have touched him with such vague crap as evidence.
No...he is afraid of what further investigation will turn up.
