September 29, 2006 — The following is an instant message exchange a former page says he had with Rep. Foley in 2003. Warning: sexually explicit language, reader discretion is advised:

Go to article link and read the messages, there's nine pages worth.

I don't want to protect Foley, I just want to go get the macaca rats.

The 'October Surprise' via Soros

Which makes more sense to you? That the (R)epublican leadership would wait until just before an election to dump Foley(R) or that the (D)'s partisan MSM would make it an issue just prior to the election?

Which "conspiracy" makes more sense?

via the American Thinker:

In July a blog appeared, designed it said to trace sex predators. Few posts were made in that month or the following month. All recounted years old stories. Then on September 18, the blog printed the fairly innocuous email exchange between Congressman Foley and an unnamed page.In this correspondence initiated by the former page, Foley asks the former page how he is after Katrina (the boy lived in Louisiana) and asked for a photo. Thus began the latest political kerfuffle which swirls through the final five weeks of the campaign. How likely is it that this site with virtually no readership , few posts and hardly any history or posts of interest suddenly receives this bombshell? I’d say slight.
...
It is not only the recent, unread blog spot breaking the story which raises my suspicions.
...
Brian Ross of ABC ran the story, beginning with the same “overly friendly” but not sexually suggestive email exchange and adding a series of instant messages dating to 2003 previously unseen by anyone in Congress between Foley and anonymous recipients said to be former pages. The Republican leaders, seeing the more damning correspondence, sought and got Foley’s resignation.

As soon as the ABC story ran, and organization called C.R.E.W., which said it had the original exchange which Hastert had heard of and the St Peterburg paper had seen, put them on their website .They said they’d earlier conveyed them to the FBI, were releasing them because of the ABC story, and asked for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the Republican leadership.It is abundantly clear to me that C.R.E.W. and ABC communicated and may have coordinated the release of this story.
...
C.R.E.W. is one of four “public interest” organizations which the RNC has long identifed as major recipients of George Soros richly-funded Open Society Institute. It is backing the risible Wilson/Plame civil suit against Cheney and others.

With yahoo you have to select archive....which I always do cause I've got nothing to hide from anyone...and I like having the text available for later reference...especially when conversing with my ex wife...lol

[usmcobra]

Save them to a text file.

And then change them to what ever you want them to say. The only thing that really matters is that the times LOOK right

[Soul Seeker]

Delay fought for YEARS against the allegations. He took a smiling mug pic for crying out loud! Yeah, he stepped down but only after the establishment forced him to and he didn't slink off into the shadows and book himself into alcohol rehab with a vague apology that didn't deny at all what was alledged. No one to this day is more in the spot light declaring his innocence then Tom Delay. hat's what INNOCENT people do.

STOP trying to defend this predator (Foley). The two situations are NOTHING alike.

[GLH3IL]

We have a system of justice that says a person is innocent until proven guilty in court of law. That's hardly DU-ish

[ElPatriota]

Wahoooo I read some... sickening. And some say the queers are not PERVERTS to the full extend of the word, by definition?...

BTW, is the sicko married?.... I don't recall anything said on this.

[erikm88]

You are correct. However, MAC (Modify, Access Change) times of the text file itself can be a clue to someone trying to destroy the integrity of the file.

Buggering buttt-pirates Batman!

"I want to know why Barney Frank is still in office"

Name a Democrat who stepped down for immoral/deviant activity?

It's not an issue to Liberals when THEY are exercising their "personal life", but it's a front-page-news-abomination if it is a Republican.

[Bigh4u2]

I have Yahoo and 'archiving' was already enabled when I installed it. I 'unarchived' it!

But then again. I don't have an 'ex-wife' to contend with.

Just the current one!

:>)

Would you comment, in anyway, with federal agents investigating? Not me....safer to keep one's mouth shut, even if innocent, than say something...anything that they can hang you on for lying to a federal offical or some kind of obstruction...

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Subpoena the same files from AOL, and see if they've been changed.

[Remole]

I could only get through the first two pages, and then became nauseated. What a creep of the first order.

[Little Ray]

He's a Democrat. And his boyfriend's customers were consenting adults, not 16 year-old pages.

[GodfearingTexan]

sick bastard.

[tx_eggman]

Foley is getting treated for booze issues...would his being an alcholohic be a factor in his resignation?

Rehab, the second to last refuge of a scoundrel ...

Oh, and two words concerning the answer to your the about whether alcoholism might be a factor in resigning from Congress ... Ted Kennedy.

[GLH3IL]

"Plus, he's illiterate..."

Ahh, so you've never had a typo? I would tend to agree with one thing....the tone of the language is not a tone on would expect from a career politician....almost sounds like two 17 yr olds chatting. Which is why I'm suspicious of this alleged "archive".

[New Girl]

STOP trying to defend this predator (Foley). The two situations are NOTHING alike.

I've said the same thing on many posts. Foley has nobody to blame but himself. I'm sure the released text mails are just the tip of the iceberg and Foley knows it. This pervert might lose the House for us. I will not defend him.
