I would like to thank the Dems for using the Foley story to take the focus off the NYT leaked NIE tidbits, Woodward's fictional book and Abrahoff. So what do we have now? Foley's gone, Repubs glad to see him gone, Repubs pushing for an investigation and top Dems (Pelosi, Dean, Emanuel) refusing to commit to appear before the Committee and testifying under oath.

So Long, “Security Mom” in National Review Online (by Myrna Blyth) makes me seriously question whether women should have the right to vote. Dems are weaker on national security. Dems are the pro-gay pro-pedophile party. To vote for a Dem b/c of Foley is more than illogical...it is delusional.

Congressional leaders have admitted covering up the predatory behavior of a congressman who used the Internet to molest children. For over a year, they knowingly ignored the welfare of children to protect their own power.

Patty's nose must be 10 feet long.

But voting is different from voyeurism.

And opinions are different then behaviorial actions.

Someone can rail against the oil companies, but they'll still purchase their gas. The Democrats did not succeed in their attempt to make the GOP base choose to drive electric cars, instead of sleek machines running using gas. They might have, as Kristol points out with neighboring districts as an anecdote, slightly raised the committment of a few members in the base to vote though.

And if the media and the Democrats want to remain sex-obsessed? It might not be amiss for Republican candidates to remind the electorate which of the two parties has, shall we say, a more "nuanced" view of sexual scandal. Which party continued to accept Rep. Gerry Studds as a member in good standing for a decade after his sexual liaison with a 17-year-old page? Which party worships at the altar of an even more famous abuser-of-his-position-of-power-for-sexual-favors--Bill Clinton? Not the Republicans.

Sure you Dems want to continue on this road? Especially since MacsMind, Gateway Pundit, Strata Sphere, American Thinker, Drudge, Passionate America and others are intent on digging into this plot and exposing Dems knew about Foley far longer then Republicans and used it cynically as an election stunt?

From the ad: " ... the predatory behavior of a congressman who used the Internet to molest children."

There's the Big Lie, frozen in concrete for all to see. Never mind there was no molestation, and no "children" involved. Both the Left and some parts of the Right (like the woman from NRO who compared the Foley fiasco to the massacre at Beslan) have chugged the Kool-Aid right down.
