You are quite right that it is appalling we as a nation even have to consider this crap with all the more important things going on.... BUT, if there is as much collusion and manipulation between the DBM and the Demagogues as many of us suspect on this matter then it is enormously significant as yet another attempt (ala Rathergate) by leftist scumbags to change the direction of the US government, by hook or by crook, without the voters really knowing their depraved agenda or how they are pursuing it.
Foley is/was scum, but if there was any kind of lib entrapment and/or manipulation and/or MSM collusion with the Demagogues then this IS a story of national importance because of how it could affect all those other issues you mentioned.
"...yet another attempt (ala Rathergate) by leftist..."
Have you heard any "_______gate" titles for this yet? Just wondering?
"Foleygate" implies a Republican scandal which it turns out is not the case, need something else...
Suggestions???
