What is up with these gay site and gay people... who want the rest of the world to be gay? Their agenda sets me on mars.... I just don't see why they come off expecting the rest of us to feel their gay pride.

So Foley needs to be hung by his neck even if there's no proof that he did anything illegal? Darn that Bill of Rights!

To: Steve_Seattle
I never said that Foley committed a crime, in fact, it's unlikely that he did.
I used ambiguous terms, because there is somewhat of a disconnect between the law and what people feel, on this subject. I am also 52 years old. I try to imagine myself having a sexual interest in a 17 year old girl. Even if I were single, and it were legal where I live, it wouldn't feel right. I'm sure that this didn't feel right to Foley, either.

Glad you're not God. I don't tolerate the twisted evil, and hate the gay agenda, but there's still a person there needing redemption. Alittle compassion goes a long way.I wouldn't be bringing up God and comparing. God destroyed whole cities. "Those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them." (Prov. 24:25).
I second letsgonova19087's statement... except he understates what I would say...
Foley needs to be hung by the neck... you can bet your bottom dollar that not only did Foley get duped by this kid, but that Foley more than duped a few other kids in more ways than one.
By their fruits you shall know them. Foley starts as a bad fruit and it only goes down hill from there.
For "conservatives" you two are kinda creepy...almost like Phelps' group. How do you know Foley "duped" other kids? You have info about who held the IM's?

To: JCEccles
We only buy into it to this extent ~ that the Dems had the IMs (which they thought were real and involved young children), and SAT ON THEM FOR MONTHS.
The Dem didn't know this was all fake, but they were willing to let young children suffer at the hands of an evil pedophile until they could get a clear political advantage.
The Dems also didn't bother investigating the source ~ if they had they'd found this stuff was just BS.
Remember, for Democrats and Liberals, it's the seriousness of the charge, not the truthfulness of the accusation.

I've seen only one Republican cancel an appearance with Denny.
Clearly FOX is more interested in rumor mongering right now then checking out their stories.

Yes, he did, the "kid" mentioned his birthday in one of the IMs. I didn't read all of the IMs, but in one that I did read, the "kid" lied and said that he was under 18, and Foley said that he knew that.

To: rawhide
My "piss" applies to the people who use the Congressional Page program, or any other DC internship program, as a way to score youngns'. If they be Republican, Democrat, Communist, whatever. My question is, how come the GOP leadership hasn't been shouting from the highest mountain the story of the MA guy who was into interns in the 80s (his name escapes me)
To: rightinthemiddle
ditto - anyone who knows teenagers should have been able to see that possibility. It's not as if Foley forced the communications to continue. IMs are used for "chat" not one-way messages.

According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
right.
That's why foley resigned and the entire leadership of the stupid party is in full-denial meltdown mode.
No one is stupid enough to believe this.

To: LS
"1) But it doesn't matter if a Dem does it, and that still doesn't explain my question of why, if it was a prank, Foley had anything to quit over."
I believe it is because, if we accept the premise of the article, the "prank" was that the page was leading Foley on......the reality was Foley didn't know it was a prank and acted in the manner he did thinking he was writing to an equally interested person. Put simply, according to the article, the page was kidding, Foley was serious.
In regard to your second comment, we need look no further than the dem who did have a sexual relationship with an underage person. As I recall, he was asked to step down (either by Pelosi or Daschle) and just said "No". He was pressed no further by his party and with the MSM in their pockets, that's where the story ended.
I believe the dems have enjoyed a double standard regarding conduct for so long, with the help of a willing main stream media, that they really do think they can lambast Foley for something I would wager many in their own party are or have done and not fear any fallout.
