Floridians were aware of his homosexuality, but he voted the way his district wanted, "brought home the bacon," and kept his sexual deviation out of his constituency's face. He even crafted many of his official acts and House votes to camouflage his own perverse proclivities, supporting tougher enforcement against child pornographers and other sex offenders, even sheparding through a bill to give organizations like the Boy Scouts access to FBI fingerprint files for scout leader background checks. That was probably one of the moves that eventually sealed his doom. Anything done in support of the BSA is a major felony to democrats, not just to homosexuals.
Then there was his opposition to a teenagers' program at a Florida nudist resort -- all of this intended to counter the talk about his being a nellie boy. Yet another transgression that democrats most likely never forgave him for, was his active support of Bush during the 2000 Florida election fiasco.
When he decided to file for a Senate seat that the democrats wanted for themselves, they gave the liberal media the green light and finally took him out of the game entirely, just when it would be most difficult for the Republicans to substitute a candidate and campaign effectively.
Despite his repeated indignant evasions over the years, his homosexuality was never really in question to those in his state and district. They just wanted him to stay in the closet, so they could continue voting for this blockhead. Now that's no longer possible.
How do we KNOW that Maf54 is Mark Foley? Is it possible that these are FAKES? Or did he admit he is guilty? This is so crazy. If he is guilty, he deserves what ever happens to him. But if he is innocent?
According to Florida election laws, yes he does.
He's supposedly had other emails that have sexual overtones. If so, he's a total idiot to think it wouldn't eventually get out.
I'm just going by Drudge.
Exactly.....if there was any kind of a crime involved here, such as he actually engaged in sexual activity with his pages...he deserves to go to jail...
The old shoo-in unless I'm caught with a dead girl or live boy. The former kept Teddy out of the White House.
For the morbidly curious.. and those with a strong stomach (that's a warning):

Never mind .. I figured out who they are
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW)

CREW was founded in 2001 by Melanie Sloan, a former aide to Representative John Conyers and Senator Charles Schumer. She is now the organization's Executive Director. CREW also runs the website JackInTheHouse, focusing on Jack Abramoff.
Oh boy. Someone who worked for Conyers and Schumer is going to lecture people on ETHICS?!?!
What a world.
Wow...thanks for the link.
What a day.
"Seligman suggested her group is the progressive counterweight to Judicial Watch, a group from the right that calls itself "a non-profit, public interest law firm dedicated to fighting government corruption." Judicial Watch was a key player in the push for President Clinton's impeachment. [3]"
Oh great, a counterweight to Judicial Watch.
Well, we are on our own. We have to fight for this election tooth and nail.
