Maybe it's the lost computer in the Karr case.

Which if thee are more IMs from other people shows more of an effort that teen boys. Something smells and I am sure the feds are following the popcorn trail as we speak.

"It is crazy to believe that Hastert, Boehner and the rest of the House GOP hierarchy knew about these IMs"

I feel sorry for Hastert. I have no doubt that Foley led a highly deceptive life and Hastert and the people around him were deceived. In time, more information will come out and in situations like this it will get far more ugly and far more significant than IM's.

I agree. This was pulled too early, so there is time to show the rats, the party of jackasses, hid these IMs, thus potentially putting further children at risk from a predator.

He's a disgruntled NOLA resident. Guess he's mad his $2,000 credit card ran out so soon. He says he was a republican now a libertarian, but looking at his previous posts he could have fooled me. For months he's been running down the right wing and calling for Hasterts head.

E-Mail's are like letters through the postal service whereas IMs are like person to person conversations.

Clearly the trip to rehab and Foley's lawyer talking about a double life and addiction signals big stuff coming.

If he were one of theirs, the Dem PR machine would be milking the "He's a sick man; he needs help. He's doing something about it, so we shouldn't kick him while he is down." angle for all it's worth.

Alas, the kids quoted as saying they were warned about Foley have all recanted. Nobody warned anybody about Foley.

Who said that?

No you wouldn't. THe FBI should have first gone to the Speaker of the House.

It's that simple, and if you don't care for democratic forms and traditions in a republic of free people, I can recommend some nifty little police states where you'd be much more comfortable.

Yeee-hawwww! I'm gonna load up some trendy conservatives friends, and we're gonna git ourselves some Re-pub-li-cuns tonight! We'll shine the headlights of truth into their beady little rich eyes, and poke 'em with sticks 'til they collapse into big heaps of sobbin' ex-Bush supporters.

I am praying you are correct that the Dems are overplaying this hand.
The Washington Times coming out for Hastert to resign is playing right into the Dems hand. Disgusting.

There's a feel about this that makes me think it will somehow blow up in the Democrats face soon. Can't quite put my finger on it yet. Possibly because of Dems intensity over it. Dems are pushing to hard and too fast especially since they gleefully represent a substantial number of perverts.

And some are not. Even so, why save them for 3 years and make them public 4 weeks before an election? I'm not defending Creepy Foley and I'm not blaming the victim. It is a little bit too convenient, though.

> So, for anybody to think the emails were exceptionally "creepy" they'd already had to have knowledge of the Instant Messages.

Any parent seeing these emails would know they were creepy without any knowledge of the IMs.

"By all accounts the emails between Foley and the page were fairly innocuous, asking questions about vacations, how ya doin', etc. The IMs were sexual in nature and are from three years ago."

When a 50yo gay man (and, by the way, everybody on Capitol Hill knew Foley was gay) starts sending emails to 16yo boys asking for pictures, it's time to ask some serious questions. The emails were very odd.

I guess they forgot being taught by their mommas "if you do not have anything positive to say, do not say anything at all."

Inasmuch as fair weather conservatives seem hell-bent on destroying the party, I am going to stock up on ammo, a good reloader, and start hitting the range to sharpen my marksmanship skills. The Dems sure as hell won't protect me or my community once they take over the reins of power.

We would all be smart to prepare to defend ourselves for when the inevitable Beslan-style massacres start popping up at various and sundry places across the nation in light of the Democrat Party's "Retreat in Defeat" anti-terrorism "strategy" gets implemented by the new pacifist-gay-femino Congress.

Bush and Rumsfeld have done an amazing job protecting us. Hastert has done his part by getting the necessary legislation passed to fight this war. Now fair weather conservatives want to eat him alive for something he did not know about.

Talk about cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. This is beyond insane.
