Here's the thread:
House Republicans Wants Democrats to Appear Before Ethics Committee
Human Events ^ | 10-06-2006 | Robert B. Bluey
Posted on 10/06/2006 11:57:43 AM PDT by 300magnum
Eleven House Republicans on Thursday told Democratic leaders they want them to appear before the House Ethics Committee to answer questions about what they may have known -- and failed to disclose -- about former Rep. Mark Foley's communications with congressional pages.
Led by Rep. Jack Kingston (Ga.), vice chairman of the House Republican Conference, the group sent letters to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) and Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean. The Republicans say Democrats shouldn't be absolved from answering questions about the scandal, especially in light of suspicions that the crisis was orchestrated as a political move to harm Republicans.
Just as it must be determined whether any Republican Members or political operatives were aware of and attempted to conceal Mr. Foley’s activities, it must also be determined whether any Democrat Members or political operatives were aware of, and attempted to conceal these same activities.
Therefore, we respectfully ask that you appear, under oath, before the House Ethics Committee.
In addition to Kingston, signatories include Representatives Kay Granger (Tex.), Phil Gingrey (Ga.), Bill Shuster (Pa.), Lee Terry (Neb.), Tom Price (Ga.), Louie Gohmert (Tex.), Joe Wilson (S.C.), Lynn Westmoreland (Ga.), Roger Wicker (Miss.) and John Shadegg (Ariz.).
In a statement sent to bloggers late Thursday afternoon, Kingston said the following:
This sad episode should not be a partisan issue. It reflects poorly on the Congress as a whole and weakens the trust of the American people. In order to restore that trust we must complete this investigation in a thorough and non-partisan fashion. All Members of the House, our staff, and members of the public regardless of political party should come forward and provide whatever information they know. We need to get to the bottom of who knew about Mr. Foley's inexcusable actions, when did they know about it, when did they first become aware of the Instant Messages in question, and what did they do with that information. As Republicans we expect, and so far have seen, nothing less from our Leaders and today we are asking for the same full cooperation from Democratic Leaders.

ROTFLMGO!!!!!!
I don't listen to any radio show during the day as I work...I was only speaking to what she said today
Dick should've taken him hunting. /s
I remember that now. Thanks! I read the letter Kingston and the other Republicans wrote and loved it. Smart guy and made old Marty look like the jerk he is.
Que?
Thanks.
She has spent all week ticking her listeners off by insisting that Hastert resign. If she didn't say that on Fox, then she is backtracking from her statements of last week.
amen to Congressman Kingston...I could not remember his name but thought he did well today
I watched Reliable Sources...it was actually pretty good; topics of Foley and Iraq. Even balance of guests. Questions from the audience....all of which demonstrated the audience full and complete understanding of the media bias. Bill Press was on, and was ridiculous as usual....he was up against Frum, who was darn good. There was some discussion of how this info got out, and Frum made the extremely valid point of CREWs involvement and the release of three year old information 40 days before an election. The audience was much smarter than the panel of journo's, for sure. Roberts was on (Cokie's hubby) and was asked about the medias reporting on this, and is it meant to impact the election. He denied it profusely (he doeth protest too much) and said reporters are reporting it down the middle (falling on the floor laughing about that one). Anyway, I don't know if it reruns, but it was pretty good show all around, imho.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for Negron. I heard him on Fox and Friends and he did fine.
I can't for the life of me understand how NJ would vote for Menendez (in spite of Kean Jr.). Did Kean stating Hastert should resign bump his numbers up? I hope he's happy./s
Woodward keeps saying he has recordings of all his conversations but I've not heard a single recording despite numerous people saying they never made comments in his book.
Please... Woodward's the media whore who stated a man in a coma spoke to him. He's a waste of oxygen.
I thought the same thing SC. Woodward was just plain angry on MTP. Heh. I supposed he's annoyed because Cheney called his book "bullshit".
I would imagine that Woodward isn't all that happy with this Foley furor. Mostly, let's be honest here, America's not paying much attention to Woodward's book. The Dems got so many irons in the fire I really think Americans are tuning them out.
thanks I'll try to catch it out here...sounds like a good one and informative...I think this did have some help from the other side always have
Fine with me, it can stay that way.
