It's one of the worst congressional scandals ever. A top House Republican who denounced sex predators as "animals" stands accused of acting like one. Mark Foley had served as a Deputy Majority Whip in the House and co-chair of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. His forced resignation, after being exposed as a homosexual pervert who talked dirty to young boys, has done more damage to the GOP than George Soros could ever think of doing. But it remains to be seen whether the liberal media and the Democrats can successfully exploit this scandal.
Brian Ross of ABC News broke the story and publicized the "sexually explicit" messages Foley sent to former congressional pages. Curiously, Ross never once used the word "homosexual" in referring to Foley's conduct. But if Foley acted out his Internet fantasies in real life, he will be exposed as not only a homosexual pedophile but a predator. The messages indicate Foley is extremely sick and demented.
[snip] It goes without saying that the Democrats don't have a much better record on this subject. Democratic Rep. Gerry Studds sexually abused a 17-year-old male congressional page but never expressed any regret. Rep. Barney Frank had a homosexual lover, selected from a "hot bottom" ad that ran in the Washington (Gay) Blade newspaper, who operated a prostitution ring out of the congressman's apartment. Though he was reprimanded by the House, Frank is still a prominent member of Congress and held in high regard by fellow Democrats.

"It's one of the worst congressional scandals ever."
Not very likely. ABSCAM was much worse. And so was the Congressional S&L scandal, to name just a couple.
I thought the Clintons wanted people like this in the Army ?
The voters. It has been around for years..........
A Republican pervert is more perverted than a Democrat pervert? I thought being a pervert was an equal opportunity thing.
Shameful....just shameful.
I think the House Post Office scandal was right up there, as was the House Bank scandal...........
A dimocrap spinster was on Fox a few minutes ago yelling about how awful this was and demanding to know why something wasn't done sooner by the Rep. leadership......E.D. asked him about a dim congressman a while back who actually had sex with an underage page and he ignored her question and went on railing about this situation.
No, no, you've got it all wrong! If it's a Republican, it's a scandalous pervert. But if it's a Democrat, it's an oppressed minority!..........
As October Surprises go, this one is pretty sleazy.
Thanks for the clarification! Sometimes I get my oppressed minorities confused. There are so many of them nowadays....
I wonder if DU has an "Oppressed Minority" ping list?.......
election just days away....
Who Protected The Pervert Congressman?
Which one?
Terminology Converter:
Republican English: Pervert
Democrat English: Victim of Morally Judgemental Right Wing Extremists
Oh, come on! Let's not help the MSM and the DNC. The guy is a homosexual pervert. Yet he is still ONE guy. Yeah, that's the ticket, let's aid and assist the MSM blow this all out of proportion in their fervent attempt to swing the upcoming election. Sheesh!
It's expected from Democrats, not from Republicans. Those that vote Republican don't tolerate this sort of behavior, those that vote Democrat enjoy this sort of behavior.
Of course not. He's a Democrat. Whey a 'Rat does something like this, it's his "personal sex life." Even if it means letting a young lady drown. It's only perverted if a Republican does it.
>>>Bill Clinton isn't just as perverted?>>>
Uhhh, no.
