The point of the article is valid, except that in DC 16 is age of consent, so it's not a matter of 'underage', only of abuse of authority.

"Pro-Homosexual Political Correctness Sowed Seeds for Foley Scandal"



that one sentence could just as well been the whole article
nothing more need said

[MEGoody]

Foley, an unmarried 52-year-old representative, had always refused to answer questions about his sexual orientation.

As well he should. It's no one's business (unless, of course, what he is doing is illegal).

But hitting on a 16 year old boy is wrong. Glad he resigned. I just wonder if charges will follow.

[kittymyrib]

No more gay Republicans in office. It's absolutely too risky because while the Dems can live like moral slobs, Republicans have to be as pure as Jesus because the MSM will crucify them if they step out of line. The really disgusting part is that they are not satisfied with Foley's resignation but want to take down the entire House leadership while they are at it. Meanwhile, Wm. Jefferson is still in business, no doubt taking in more cold hard cash.

[catholicfreeper]

Well good ole Tony Perkins just stepped into it.lol.



I am sure I am in the minority here. , but I am not really wanting to bite on this out all the homosexuals and bisexuals in the party business. That will kill us and it is exactly the reaction the blogactive folks want.

[snarks_when_bored]

The Foley case is just an aberration. It's still quite appropriate for active homosexuals to be Boy Scout troop leaders.

[tennbob67]

I will defer to Ken Mehlman and David Dreier as to the official Republican position on this issue.

As bad as it is the leadership can not get their story straight is that they knew that Foley was perverted homosexual and said nothing about it. I'm sure we'll hear that picking up 16-17 year old boys is part of the "lifestyle" and its our responsibility to embrace, celerbate and tolerate it.

[HamiltonJay]

90% of boys are are the victims of sexual molestation are molested by unrelated MALE persons... That's the reality folks.

Girls are by and large assaulted by persons within their own families.

Both assaults are dispicable and unconscionable.. however when a group that represents maybe 1% of the complete adult male population is responsible for 9 out of 10 assaults on boys... you can't, unless you are in abject denial, claim that homosexuals are "just like everyone else."

Homosexuality is a mental disease, and male homosexuality in particularly is a predatory self destructive psychosis.

Pro-Homosexual Political Correctness Sowed Seeds for Foley Scandal

I'm so stupid, I thought Foley's abysmal judgement and crass behavior were what "sowed the seeds" for the scandal.

Awfully Democrat, to blame the "culture of corruption" (or whatever the buzzword is now) instead of the individual who committed the reprehensible acts.

[TheBattman]

That there is even a chance that the party as a whole knew about Foley and his queer nature (and taste for young men) and did nothing makes me very ill. Somewhat related to my distaste for the cover-up by the Catholic Church regarding the child molesters "of the cloth"...

Even if the RNC leadership can legitimately claim no knowledge (which at this point is in question), the APPEARANCE is still going to do at least some damage.

Of course, if Foley were a Democrat, this would be considered normal and acceptable behavior. But Republicans are suppose to demonstrate a more conservative point of view (hahahah).

Homosexuals on the prowl for young men is on my list of "get the heck out" creeps.

[R.W.Ratikal]

I thought that to the Left being queer was just another lifestyle. Why get all upset about it?

Most homosexuals target the young. But doesn't the Left support the man/boy love thing?

Do you suppose that an uproar is made only when the queer is a Republican? Naw. That wouldn't be fair.

[DBrow]

This flap has little to do with homosexuality.

He's a Republican running for office, and the dems will do anything or say anything to win.

If the same thing crops up in the future but the shoe is on the other foot the dems will do anything to protect their man against the homophobic attacks of the extremist Republicans.

[nitzy]

I don't see what the big deal is. The way people are acting, you would think he sodomized the congressional page with a cigar.

[Eva]

All child molesters are NOT male. I, personally knew a lesbian woman, who molested her own daughters (perhaps in front of her husband, but I never knew the details). I didn't believe it at the time, but then I was too young to understand, and didn't think that married people could be gay.

[Snoopers-868th]

Any parent that exposes and allows their "child" to be tutored by our esteemed politicians (sarcasm turned on) and the environment they play in, is not concerned about protecting their "child's" innocence. By the way, what are "children" doing there anyway?
