Maybe it's time to offer money to "out" dems... dems who hit on pages... The wonderful MSM with all their "oh so objective" skills might be unable to find a comparable on the dem side -- that is, without our help. Funny how they know and hang out with the dems... and are the dems, but never know what they're up to ... makes a person wonder.
If they were above the age of consent, Foley goes from Pedophile to Homosexual in an instant, and to the Democratic base, that is a GIANT distinction.
In Liberal World, gay people are perfectly normal, and sex at work isn't a big deal. Barney Frank had a gay lover who ran a prostitution ring out of his apartment. Gerry Studds was outed, ran again, and was re-elected.
Now, gay people who target children are suddenly not gay, they are pedophiles.
In this case, Foley left because he got caught, initially, with underage male pages engaging, not in sex, but in SIMULATED sex, on government computers - simulated pedophilia with the high probability of actually doing the real thing.
We now KNOW that he was engaged in simulated sex with a consenting MALE ADULT on a government computer.
To the Democrats, this just became a simple matter of choosing to have simulated sex on a government computer, because there is NOTHING WRONG AT ALL with gay people engaging in sex, simulated or otherwise. Moreover, if you are in politics, having sex at work is the most natural thing in the world, especially if its with an intern.
What is massive about this is that party operatives have succeeded in painting homosexuals as irretrievably deviant, and now have to go back and explain to their homosexual (and militantly active) base why this is a good thing to set their movement back 30 years to get a back-bench FL representative canned.
So we have verbal accounts, no paper or computer trace to prove the accounts, all conveniently parroting the exact statements used in the either IM's, two of them at least 18 and maybe all three for all I trust ABC, using the "prank" word that conveniently comes to their lips only hours after Drudge's report? yeah, right.
Not buying ABC.
Instead I want to know when you conspired with the DNC/Clinton's/gay activists groups to pull this stunt.
The correlations with the Salem witchhunt continue to form...
Not enough bungholes for some freepers.
When I got on my computer last week someone IM'd me and thought I was my grandson because he'd not signed out. I typed back to see who it was and told them I was "gma" and all was well. I got an "Oh I'm sorry"...
Maybe someone got on M Foley's computer and pretended to be him. Hey! It could happen! Maybe it was some Dem who knew his sign in name. Those dems are nasty!
Sounds very interesting. Any place online where I can read about his lies, err, I mean, stories?
That story had just hit Drudge at 2:00 PM central, and so within 3 hours, ABC has the story, has it posted AND they say "it was no prank?".
The dems are after gays - gay Republicans. This is going to backfire on them.
I love the quality of the discussion here when anyone so much as broaches a dissenting opinion.
""He is only a predator if the pages were underaged. If they were legal adults, then Foley is only guilty of being a creepy middled aged man trying to score with a very young adult,""
Still a predator and dangerously stupid. His conduct with inferiors would get him automatically fired if Congress were run like an average American corporation. And the security breaches and blackmail potentials are very alarming.
""and since the sex lives of consenting adults is no one leses business (thank-you Bill Clinton), there really is nothing to see here.""
No. In employment contexts it is other's business and if not why do you thank Bill Clinton? Shouldn't you be thanking Ken Starr?
Are media allowed to obstruct a possible criminal investigation?
BINGO
I have a question. I am only familiar with Yahoo Instant Messenger and with that IM I can't just sit at my computer and arbitrarily send out IM's. I have to request permition from my recipient to ever send the first IM. Is that a standard protocol with IM's? I ask his because I saw a former page on O'Reilly who said that when he left Page School and returned home he started getting suggestive IM's, suddenly and from someone he didn't know until several weeks later when he figured out it was Foley. That story sounded awfully fishy to me. Is it as fishy as I think?
Wrong. The page who he had cybersex with was not a page at the time, but had graduated from the page program the prior year.

The above has some tantalizing info.
