More Scandals to Come?

Last night, ABC News investigative journalist Brian Ross suggested "there may be other members of Congress who engaged in inappropriate behavior towards congressional pages."

Said Ross, "We’re hearing quite a bit from former pages. They’re sending us all sorts of messages about possible other members."

Me neither. I've heard stories for several years now about Senators and congressmen and their boy toys. Sometimes living inside the beltway is fun, even if half of what you hear isn't true.

Apparently a Rep Senator will be outed. It's not clear if it's this election cycle or in the future.

Male or female?

And we know from the Condit episode that these guys in Congress are very bipartisan, especially the deviants.

probably the same miniscule percentage as female alter servers and pedo-priests. This is a g&y problem.

We don't need term limits. When the congress itself set the number of reps @ 435 each district had about 200,000 constituents. Each district now has between 500,000 and 1,000,000 constituents.

We are no longer represented in the House, THE PEOPLE"S HOUSE!

If we restricted each district to 200,000 and increased the # of reps, we'd move closer to real representation.

That and repealing the 17th Amendment, returning some power to the states, are the two major fixes required for the people and the sovereign states to regain control of Leviathan.

Or we could continue on our present course and act surprised when we find out some scum is running around the House with his boxer shorts on backwards for easy access.

Think "Ellen Rometsch."

I think to take out more Republicans, they may have to throw a couple of low ranking Dems under the bus to make it appear "fair".

The one thing you can say about the Kennedys, is that they aren't homosexuals.

I disagree. There are probably dems. I bet Barbara Mccluskey is one of them. There was a rumor about Porter Goss in May, remember.

I think there's a confidential e-mail link on the ABC site for former pages to contact them. I'm not at all opposed to flooding their boxes with "claims" about Democrats. I'm that mad about this. Don't tell me we shouldn't stoop to their level. This is war.

Hmmm what about Lindsey Graham? The Leftists always say he is "light in the loafers". I bet you he will be one of the Republicans named.

"In 1983 Gerry Studs actually had a sexual relationship with one of his former pages and everyone called the pages liars!"

Really? Why I just saw Melanie Sloan, of CREW, on CSPAN, and she said that when she was working on capitol hill, in 1998, that no one would EVER have thought about getting involved with a page or an intern.

I kid you not.

Yea but the FBI might be monitoring their e-mails right now because supposedly the former page is getting threats!

"I will wager that NO DEMOCRAT will be exposed even if one or more happen to be on the "LIST"."

Considering that the Court ruled that Senate offices cannot be searched, even with a warrant, they'll invoke the "Jefferson Warning" to protect themselves.....

But if I just said, "I got screwed by my Democrat Congressman!"????

I'd be telling the truth no matter what!
