We still need evidence before we move on to that "parts" business.

Some of what he was doing looks like he was trying to avoid what it is that we think he was really up to.

Kind of like the folks who shoplift for the thrill of it ~ then drop it off in a cart at the checkout register. He gets close but not too close ~ and there's gotta' be a name for that one!

I suspect some Dems with first class "gaydar" targeted this Foley guy to use him to harm the Republicans.

"He gets close but not too close"

Don't think so, if he was a perp he acted out. The only question is whether he has covered his tracks well enough to avoid short term detection. Usually, the more power they have the more sloppy they get. Also, the greater the risk the greater the sexual pleasure. So, they keep acting out with ever increasing risk and it is only a matter of time before it falls a part.

You seriously believe this was a strategy created in the late 1990's and held for just this midterm election? That dems somehow made Foley send these IMs to former pages? A bit far out there, no?

I have no doubt the dems are now happily pushing the stories along, screaming themselves hoarse and trying to create a situation beyond what might exist, but to say they caused the whole thing is absurd.
