Did Democrats Page Mark Foley?

Scandal: Right after Mark Foley was revealed to have had inappropriate e-mail conversations with a 16-year-old page, he resigned and checked into rehab. Now, what did Democrats know, and when did they know it?

Yes, you read that right: the Democrats. It's of course clear that Foley, a Republican representative from Florida, resigned for good cause. We don't defend him or his inexcusable behavior — good riddance.

But it didn't take long at all after Foley's resignation for the Democrats to call for an investigation of the entire Republican leadership in the House, charging that GOP stalwarts knew early on that Foley, as they like to say in the rehab business, had a "problem."

Democrats have begun losing their once-significant lead in the polls, and a mere five weeks remain until the midterm elections. Is this scandal the Democrats' own "October Surprise," meant to throw the GOP into a tailspin shortly before the vote?

Recent polls show Democrats aren't doing very well on several key issues. What better way than a good, old-fashioned sex scandal to get people's minds off such things as the importance of winning the war in Iraq, our ongoing vulnerability to terrorist attack and the necessity of keeping the Bush economic boom going?

As it is, Republicans deny knowing about the explicit text messages that Foley sent to a 16-year-old congressional page back in 2003. In repudiating Foley, House Speaker Dennis Hastert called the messages "vile and repulsive."

Despite this, the immediate take by Democrats and much of the mainstream media was that this was a classic example of Republican hypocrisy — talking "morals" and "values" while all the time shielding a child predator. But it was nothing of the kind...

Yes and there is information that the Democrats were using known homosexuals to approach Congressmen for entrapment. This is one for sure.

Yes the latest batch of IMs released have been fixed to show dates as well as times and even go so far as to place Foley in Congress while having an internet sex session with the young man.

My first thought was they are now tailoring the IMs to fix any criticisms of them on the net or in blogs, and since they say they have 52 different session recorded they can leak them one at a time to silence any new challenges to them.

Everything I've been reading that's exactly what they did.

I hope you don't mind my persistence, but do you have a website that shows all of this in order/progression?

^^^^^^^^^^even go so far as to place Foley in Congress while having an internet sex session with the young man.^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I wonder if the media will break the news soon that there are two mark foleys! *laughs*

Considering the timing of all this, it's entirely possible. I'm sure the media will love to see all of this happen. The evil right wing bloggers who took down their boy Rather need to pay, and pay heavily. They can't beat an unknown enemy.

I'm sure that's how the media sees this.
