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.

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.

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.

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