For J. Jennings Moss, the only "sin" in this affair is apparently dishonesty. I suppose it would have been OK for Foley to try to seduce a teenage boy if he had let it be known in advance that he was gay. (I'll also bet this becomes the Talking Point for the Dems by Monday morning.)

This is exactly why this case could actually end up biting the 'Rats in the rear end, instead of the Republicans. They keep promoting the gay agenda, but here is one result of that agenda that a lot of parents are NOT going to like. I think a lot of parents are going to look beyond the political aspect (whether R or D) and think about the seduction of their own kids.

Well of course, because as we all know (from being told time & time again), pedophiles aren't GAY, ever.

". . . inherent fear the media have to delve honestly and without judgment into a person's sexual background."

Maybe inherent sense has something to do with it.

Yes, the author seems to completely equate "gay" with "Child predator". I'm sure he'd be quite upset if someone else equated the two.

>>"The only thing that will cost me the governorship is if I am caught with in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."

In Mass. he could get re-elected in either case. (Gerry
Studds--re-elected 5 times after the page scandal; had a D
after his name on the ballot). And here, the dead girl
was found in the back seat of Rose Kennedy's Olds Delmont.

I believe it will come back and bite the Dems too...

There is no excuse for what Foley did....

..OR what Bill Clinton did with his intern and a few cigars....

You know when I first read about this I thought there was no way it was going to bite Demonrats in the rear. But, I see it now. It is actually sad to me...they apparently covered for Foley and now are screaming and pointing fingers that we have a pervert in our ranks.

And I hope Foley will join the Democratic Party. They deserve each other.

On so many levels this article is dishonest and absurd.

The author is a screaming jackass. Why doesn't he just say he got a lot of pleasure out of humiliating another human being?

I think I would feel safer sending a kid to sweep floors at the mustang ranch than to DC to work for a congressman.

"Frankly, I don't think what kind of personal relationships I have in my private life is of any relevance to anyone else," he said.

That may be true for most people, but as a public servant, the voter has the right to know if you prefer the company of teenage boys. Good riddance to this sick bastard.

I don't understand his premise: if you are gay you MUST be against DOMA ... or we will out you.

Isn't it possible for a gay person, closeted or out, to believe marrige is between a man and a woman? or is it like the 'pro-choice' crowd that ostracizes anyone who doesn't go along with their agenda 100%, including support of partial birth abortion or opposition to parental notification? Are they that rigid? Sure seems so.

>SIX-term Republican Representative Mark Foley of Florida has resigned from the US Congress after reports he sent sexually inappropriate emails to underage male congressional interns


If the guy's SO dumb
he'd send emails about sex
to a guy (or girl!)

from _any_ account
with his name on it, should he
be in government?!

That's the main issue
here for me. I don't really
care if the guy's gay.

The only reason the dimwits are screaming and pointing fingers is because there is an election in 38 days and this is about the only way the democrat can win against Foley.
