Ref #249, It is true that almost everyone knew that Mark is Gay,and we trusted him to only be with Adults of the same persuasion. I have never seen him ogle,or even look admiringly at a Young Man. HE is friendly,outgoing,funny,and is attentive to Men and Women of all ages. When I lived in Broward County 8 years ago,it was no secret that Mark was gay,and he was very good friends with my Congressman at the time Robert Wexler,who had a Very,very Gay aide that always seemed to answer the phone when I would call to complain about the Idiot Wexler. Wexler/Foley used to be on the Talk Shows in Palm Beach and Broward County together,and even though I knew about Mark, I would have picked Wexler as being gay way ahead of Mark. When I got Mark as a Congressman when I moved to the 16CD from the 19CD, I thought I had died and gone to Heaven,and for the most part he did not fail us until now. We all really are still hurting here,we lost someone we really cared for and liked along with all his long time employees that were just the Best at what they did. Right now we really do not have a Congressman at all and have to rely on two Idiots if we need anything. Senile old cracker Bill Nelson,and Mel Martinez,no comment.

He's going to need friends when this all settles out.  Whatever his issues and whatever he's done.  Think of how the Amish forgave the murderer of their children and embraced his family and prayed for him.  So far with Foley we don't have any proof of anything beyond being gay and bad judgement.  All of the overt "icky stuff" appears to have been held for after these people were adults and were already open about their own sexuality.

Hate the sin, love the sinner.
