The media loves this. Nothing physical happened but the media is going to make it sound like many boys were ravished by Foley.

Remember Barney, and his live in boy toy, who turned his Mass. townhouse into a homosexual brothel??
The MSM never mentions that, do they?
PUKEMAO!

Wow, conservative values voters are so disgusted they will vote for liberals who push gay marriage, abortion, the removal of God from the public square, who would bring our soldiers home to dishoner, who hate the flag, and hate America?
Makes sense to me.....not.

Foley should be gone. He's a pervert. That still doesn't change my mind about voting Republican. We get rid of our crooks, perverts etc., democrats keep theirs and keep voting them back into office.
I still will trust Republicans before trusting a democrat.
I have a great Senator and I will vote for him.

Is anybody else watching Chris Matthews on Leno spewing the Dem talking points? He is saying that Republicans were more worried about protecting one of their own than the children

I don't watch Cris Matthews. Besides, he's the real alcoholic.

He doesn't seemed bother at all by Foley's perverted advances. I don't think all the covers have been pulled yet.

After the page scandals of the Eighties, the page system should have been eliminated. What, they can't hire adults for the job because they're trying to save money? This Congress?
Dump the pages. Obviously, our sleazy congresscritters can't be trusted alone with them. For Pete's sake, they're congressmen, not priests.
To: SmithL
The case isn't going to turn off the conservative base. The conservative base isn't that stupid. They know that Foley is the problem of the people of his district and if they make it their problem, they get high taxes, funds cut for the War on Terror, 2 years of impeachment hearings, a roll back on partial birth abortion legislation, Pelosi as Speaker of the House, Conyers as head of Judiciary, so, no, they're not going to be that turned off.

Where were all these concerned nobodies when DEMOCRAT Gary Studds was getting it on with a 17 year old male page in the Congressional restrooms?
As I recall they were all building a wall of "privacy issue" around Studds, who resisted a Congressional censure motion and was re-elected the following term.
How times change - or is it that Foley is a target Republican and Studds was a mascot Democrat.
To: stephenjohnbanker
Actually, Steve Gooby, the pimp, ran women out of Barneys apartment. Not that it makes much of a difference.
The Foley issue will not make it till the weekend cause, just like always, the Rats have jumped the gun, more will come out, and, although Foley`s finished, Hastert and they rest look golden compared to how the Rats dealt with Franks, Studds,and, our old pal, Bubba.

No, they WILL stay home if they perceive the republicans as having ignored clear signs of immorality in their midst, whether it is true or not. Just as some stayed home in 2000 after they found out Bush had a DUI and hadn't told them about it.
They are what they are. People can be upset that the value voters act like this, but they are the key to republican control of congress, like it or not.
If there is a reason to replace Hastert, this is it -- maybe put Shadegg in his place. Show the value voters that the republican party takes ethics seriously.
It's not fair, but you have to ask whether you are willing to lose 50-60 house seats to keep Hastert around. Because if the value voters stay home, it will be a bloodbath.

Makes sense to me.....not.Actually the Democrats (and their friends in the MSM) who invented this "scandal" to play out at this time hope that the "value voters" will stay home. That way those whose lifestyle closely parallels foley's will see the power of their votes magnified.
To: SmithL
If this is so important, then why did the MSN hold on to the emails for 6 months before releasing them in the news, and their respective papers?
If sex scandals are so important, then why was Liberal homosexual Barney Franks allowed to have a homo-sexual sex ring from his Office, without a resignation, or condemnation from the liberal democrats? In fact, the liberals came out in support of Congressman Barney Franks!
Anyone with half a brain can see through this election year liberal ploy, and I predict, this too will backfire on the liberals, just like everything else they create and politicize!
