All Things Considered, October 4, 2006 · Anyone who knew of resigned Rep. Mark Foley's improper conduct should resign and face prosecution, a coalition of conservative groups says in a letter released Tuesday.
Paul Weyrich, an author of the letter from the Arlington Group, a coalition of 70 socially conservative organizations, called for House Speaker Dennis Hastert's resignation.
But after speaking with Hastert Wednesday, Weyrich says he changed his mind, and the speaker should not step down. Michele Norris talks with Weyrich, chairman and CEO of the Free Congress Foundation.
interesting
ping.
Foley is todays example of why gays should never be allowed in the military.
Imagine if Foley carried military secrets.
From what I read on the other thread, and now this....sounds like FoleyGate is imploding!
What a putz. I'm sorry, but perhaps he should have spoken to Hastert BEFORE ganging up with 70 others demanding his resignation.
Conservatives - Eating their own since ... Well for a long time!
I hope the implosion sucks Nancy Pelosi's eyes back into her head where they belong.
OK all of you fair weather Republicans.
Get back off of the "Blame Hastert" bandwagon.
"Sads" shouldn't be "out" anywhere. "Shame, shun and sanction" - and test for AIDS/quarantine.
Ah-Ha!
Backlash continues and even the Reps that ran like cowards are in retreat.
NO. He's saying the opposite! he doesn't want him to step down now after talking with him!!
Idiot Weyrich gave the media the soundbite they wanted. We won't hear much of his retraction. Conservatives are severely handicapped by some of their more ardent supporters in the gotcha game of liberal media.
Exactly.
Sorry, been hearing too many idiot dems on msnbc they all blend together..
No Problem. Keep a watch out for Trolls on FR to divide and conquer this forum on this topic. Methinks they signed up around 2004 to cause trouble now.
No kidding. I am so tired of some of the knee jerks on our side.
Every so-called "Republican" who calls for Hastert to resign is a RINO -- in fact they give RINO a bad name. We will remember you. We will remember who stabbed a good Republican leader in the back.
"OK all of you fair weather Republicans."
No kidding.
