Great article! So true...
You can't have sex with kids, though. There is no way to excuse Foley on this one, if these accusations are true, he is a big a pervert as any other pedophile.
Nice to finally see them coming out against gays though, isn't it?
The heck with the "It's Just Sex" democrats -- what about the "It's a matter of personal privacy" democrats from back when Gerry Studds (D-MA) was having sexual relations with a 16 year old male page, and the democrats covered it up for 10 years? Then they grudgingly decided to censure him. And when they read the censure, Studds turned his back on the speaker and then held a press conference about how it was just a private matter and he never apologized. And then he ran for and was reelected for three more terms. These guys don't condemn what Foley was doing, they just see a political opportunity to use this against the Republicans.
Try as you might, you ain't gonna win with that argument.
True...Foley is a big sicko pervert...
100% spot on!
Yeah...but he resigned. Clinton lied and continues to lie. I am not saying Foley's behavior should go unpunished. He is sick and needs help.
It is my personal opinion that this scandal is "small town" big time. The question is how much did Barney Frank know and when did he know it? In small town gossip different groups,even if not aligned with one another, knows about the other group.
You can bet Barney Frank and probably Kolby of Arizona knew.
Is "sex" with a minor just "sex"? I'd say no.
The age of consent in DC is apparently 16. This "kid" was fully legally capable of consenting to any relationship.
Actually, in Washington DC you can. The age of consent there is 16.
Is there any evidence that Foley had sex with any minor? Or is this all based on emails and IMs?

Someone has finally had the courage to call the dems on the carpet for their duplicity. It's about time!

Yuck. There is a higher law that is definitely being broken on that one. I don't care if it is legal, that's just gross.
What's worse, IMing a page or getting oral sex from an intern?
Another ping! Good article.
See post no. 5. This is all bout disrupting Republican voters by calling their guys hypocrites while espousing family values. If it was a Dem the left would be defending him.
