Floridians don't pick committee positions, offices, etc.

At the very least they should not have supported this guy for reelection.

I don't care if this was a prank or Foley was set up by the dimocrats. Anyone who would protect this dirt bag Pedophile by claiming the 16 yr old was age of consent or this is the dimocrats fault for holding this information is just as much a part of the problem.
As a Republican I have zero tolerance for the behavior Foley exhibited and if Hasert did not take strong action on this he needs to go!

Foley sent sexually explicit e-mails IM to an 18 years old man, that is no pedophile, do not lie.

Foley deserved his fate under conservative standards.

But for the raving 'Rats the hypocrisy is breathtaking and the details are relevant -- here we have the party that insists upon gay scoutmasters and teaching sodomy to elementary school students telling us that one adult male engaging in salacious exchanges (not even sex, mind you) with another adult male is so incredibly vile, etc.

Again, by our standards Foley is indefensible and it's good that he's gone from the House, but by 'Rat standards he not only should enjoy at least 6 more terms ala Gerry Studds but should become a party "conscience" ala Barney Frank...... it's the raving hypocrisy of the libs in the DBM and Demagogue party that's so nauseating.
