I find it appalling that Freepers are trashing this kid and trying to prove that he was 18 and not younger. I agree with you 100%.

Foley is a sick dirt-bag regardless. But the charges are against the "party in power" for not protecting America's kids. If it turns out that the kid was of legal age, and not even a page at the time of the engagement, then there was probably nothing anyone could have done to stop this behavior. Actually, doing so would be regarded as interfering with the private affairs of two loving men. That was Gerry Studd's defense, even though the page was underage.

Gerry Studds got a standing ovation from the Dems. His Masshole constituents reelected him to five more terms. His page interaction was (a) genuinely underage (the page was 17) and (b) physically consummated, not limited to salacious messages. He and his lovely bride, Dean T. Hara, were married in the first week of gay marriage availability in Massachusetts.

Democrat attacks on Mark Foley amount to gay bashing. Gay bashing is a mortal sin in the Church of Liberalism. They should be ashamed!

And gay-bashing.

Good point.

Something that bothers me is how the same democrats that defended BJ Clinton and claimed that oral sex was not sex, are now screetching that typed words are not only SEX but Pedophelia. The hypocrisy is staggering.
