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!
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.
I just read a portion of the IM transcripts; Foley's a sick man, but what seems odd to me is the boy's responses. He doesn't seemed bother at all by Foley's perverted advances. I don't think all the covers have been pulled yet.
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.
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!
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 Even the "warning" has been retracted by the former page who allegedly claimed one had been given regarding Foley.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)
What is the big deal? We are talking about Instant Messages. Which were mysteriously kept, and THAT IS ALL. There have been no allegations of Foley doing anything, no bodies mysteriously dieing or disappearing. Not even a dead women in a car in the water.
This is getting more press play than the LEAKS of secret information to the NY Slimes, or the KILLINGS, RAPES, AND CRIME OF ILLEGAL ALIENS.
If anything we should be outraged at the press for pushing matters that are worthless in the long run, and ignoring matters that will get us killed or destroyed as a culture.
