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. lol, bravo! That's sarcasm that doesn't drip.

"Foley e-mail sex scandal hits the GOP hard "

Oh doesn't the SF Chronicle wish! What we have is a bunch of dims screaming on talk programs, and so far, every time I have heard someone advise them that the Dims had different standards when one of their own was actually having sex with a page or an intern.

Today on Fox they had one dim babette who tried to refer to it as a "culture of corruption", and much to my surprise, Shep Smith shut her up. He didn't let her get another word in during the inerview.

How is this possible? Don't the queers see Foley as one of their's and now want to vote with the GOP?

After all, the dems are "chewing him up" and we know queers only believe they can bite their own.

I am just too confused on this issue...

I agree wholeheartedly, but we are still going to hear about this all the way to the election. We need to keep reminding wavering voters that we DO get rid of ours, but the DimDems hang onto theirs, i.e., Clinton, Byrd, Kennedy, on and on, ad infinitum.

Not only by Foley - but the House leadership, anyone who accepted funding from Foley and all of the sexually repressed christians. We are all child molesters!

Didn't you get the memo? Foley is on the ballot in every Congressional district! We're doomed!

This is a local problem that local people in Foley's district will handle. I doubt that most of Middle America even know who Foley is or cares. This scandal is strictly limited to politicalholics on the blogs and in the MSM.

Oh, for God's sake, since when? If Weedward is "non-partisn", I must be a friggin' liberal?!! Jeez, these "reporters" have so little brain power, its a wonder they aren't all on respirators! I'd be happy if they demonstrated just a little common sense.

Well, I guess this ruins the Republicans' chances in San Francisco.

IF we allow this to happen and this Dem Tactic to prevail we have have gone over the rubicon. Public civic discourse already at a low point will sink unto a level that is frigtning.

If this is deemed acceptable it will be used again And yes someone on our side of the fence might deem those tactics acceptable and then we all fall further in the mud. It just seems how the vicious cycle works.

A stand has to be taken here. As the facts that we know today I feel Hasert did no wrong. If there is a time to stand for Principle it is now

Don't confuse the MSM and the Comical with the facts. They can't handle the truth.

I don't agree with the title's premise.

Understanding demographics .. it's important to know that a guy called in to Rush's program today and he was hoping mad AT THE DEMOCRATS. He said he wasn't very happy with the repubs and he had been considering sitting out the election .. but this dirty trick by the dems has made him mad as hell. Now .. he's voting and only for repubs.

Like I said .. it may seem anecdotal, but if you study demographics .. that one phone call really represents THOUSANDS of other callers (who didn't call but felt the same way).

The dems have been sitting on this for awhile - because Hastert knew of the E-MAILS about 3 years ago - Foley was warned at that time - but when the Instant Msgs started is unknown and Hastert said he found out about them 5 days ago. So .. who knew about them before then ..?? And .. who waited to release them late in the election cycle ..??

And .. several months ago Rush wrote an article about the excessive lies that will be used during this election cycle. I believe we're actually seeing that come to pass.

the last thing the GOP needed was a homosexual pedophilia scandal.

Which we don't have. There is zero evidence of physical acts. In fact, the instant messages have Foley specifically saying to one alleged page it was only "fantasy" and nothing would happen. Even the "warning" has been retracted by the former page who allegedly claimed one had been given regarding Foley.

These were not young "boys." According to Drudge's radio show last night, in D.C. sixteen is the legal age for sex. Sixteen is also the minimum age required for congressional pages. The explicit IMs were with one (or more) *former* pages.

There's NO evidence of a cover-up. The GOP knew of the benign, overly friendly, email and *not* the instant messages.

The MSM have people believing the Republicans covered up a homosexual pedophile's predatory activities involving underage boys just to try to keep a congressional seat in the upcoming election. That's RAT B.S. talking points.

Ignored? Past page scandals. Rep. Gerry Studds, a Massachusetts Democrat, was censured after admitting he had a consensual homosexual relationship with a 17-yr-old page. He eventually retired in 1996. Rep. Dan Crane, an Illinois Republican was censured after admitting he had a consensual heterosexual relationship with 17-yr-old page and was defeated in 1984.

Clinton PARDON of convicted Congressman Mel Reynolds who (among financial crimes and child porn charges) had sex with a 16-yr-old female volunteer. Reynolds has gone on to work for Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH. (Snopes)

They won't vote for the Dems, they'll just stay home. When they stay home, Rats win.

That is a very good point and one "stay-at-homers" had better consider. After all, Foley HAD NOT molested any of these kids (keeping my finger/legs/toes, etc., crossed), but the idiot Dem was caught in the bathroom with that youngster. It might be a good thing to resurrect that story, and its conclusion, for everyone. Frankly, I had forgotten about it too.

Actually, if we had no Senator in CA I dare say we'd be in better shape!
