Yes and regarding Foley, if the leadership knew that Foley had some overly friendly e-mails then, they knew nothing more then that. The now former Congressman must have been naive enough to think that text messages could not be stored. He was smart enough not to e mail the disgusting stuff.

I will in no way, shape or form defend him. But Hastert, Boehner and DeLay did not apparently know about the IM's. Also if the parents of the boy did not want the issue pushed the right thing to do, for the CHILD (dumb ass Democrats) was to respect the wishes of the parents.

That's correct and when dealing with "suspected, but not self-outed" homosexuals, caution has to be a primary concern...

The question is whether these are IM's via phone or IM's via computer

Either way BOTH are outside the email system.

Democrats are the party of the homosexual, democrats knew of his lifestyle long before this.

The MSM knew of foleys lifestyle choice LONG before 2005 yet they intentionally kept quiet. (they publicly pushed him to come out of the closet every time he considered running for the sentat, during the homosexual ban on adopting court cases, and during the marriage debate.)

The MSM DID know long ago.

How long was ABC sitting on this?

But Hastert, Boehner and DeLay did not apparently know about the IM's

And therein lies the key.
