Go through the McGreevey, Barney Franks and Clinton threads. They didn't have too many defenders, if any. Yes, I dare say you are correct if a "D" was after the name the response of these few would be different.

Meanwhile all I see is a Kid was preyed upon by this slime.

It seems evident whoever had those IM's didn't care, and they should be outed and publicly shamed for allowing this to continue for partisan purposes.

If any members of Congress knew, either side, they should be kicked out.

I have a tough time believing Hastert knew anything beyond the E-Mails, because I don't think he's that sick to allow it to continue. BUT when you get E-Mails of that questionable quality more should be done then acceptance of someone's word nothing happened and a warning to leave the kid alone. I want stricter laws in place that demand investigation immediately to ensure that elected official is telling the truth.

I also want all members of Congress immediately subject to independent review to deteremine if we have any other predators currently operating out of Congress. Conducted by someone that will NOT massage the results to protect either party.

Others can handle the politics, my only interest is protecting the children on capitol hill right now.

I would tend to agree about Hastert. I don't think he's the kind of man to let it continue.

But I also agree that if the House leadership didn't know about the IM's, it's because they didn't want to know and didn't bother to do any digging at all.

In either case, they failed in their responsibilities, not least of which to the parents of other pages. That this sicko was allowed continued access to kids angers and repulses me.
