Why is that relevant in a US SENATE race? Foley was in the House!
He wants to advance the meme that Pubbies are bad and will cover up wrongdoing for political power. He doesn't care whether they had anything to do with it or not.
"Why is that relevant in a US SENATE race? Foley was in the House!"
Because, IMHO, the DBM and Dims want to keep the issue on Foley because:
1. they can keep using the old and incorrect saying of how the Pubbies are the 'culture of corruption',
2. they can keep droning on about how the Pubbies are irresponsible because they SHOULD have known and didn't do anything,
3. they use it as the Pubbies don't care about children and don't protect them and they let predators go after them (never mind that the Dims support the ACLU, some support NAMBLA - -free speech don't ya know (the ACLU supports NAMBLA cases, so one could say that Dims also support NAMBLA by way of association)
4. they think the Christian Right will be disgusted and not turn out to vote or vote for the Dims (some of the *polls* show this, though others do not).
5. they want to keep Nat'l Security and the WOT off the front page because the Prez was giving speeches during and after 9/11 and his poll #s and the Pubbies poll #s were going up. Dims know that they cannot win if Nat'l Security is the major issue w voters.
6. they need to keep the economy off the news. Unemployment at 4.6%, oil prices down, DOW highest ever.
As a side note: I think this will backfire on the Dims as I think it's angered many Pubbies - they feel the Dims pulled a dirty trick and I have read posts by FReepers who were considering voting for another party, not voting and/or hadn't previously donated to the RNC or Pubbies - - this situation has angered many and they have beome Broken Glass Republicans again.
The Dims also need to be careful because some almost sound like they're gay bashing and gays are *supposedly* party of their base.
The democrats learnin in 2004 that being against homosexuals is a vote winner.
So the democrats are saying republicans are hiding homosexuals.
The fact is Republicans FIRE homosexuals
Democrats HIRE homosexuals.
The Democrats hired Rev. Walis to teach the DNC to be religious.
The Democrats concealed Foley to time a democrats are anti-homo costume.
They just abandoned gun control.
We should have a running count how many times CREW is mentioned on the shows. Failure to mention CREW in the foley scandal if incomplete reporting and pandering to democrats.
I hope they also disclose Pelosi has ALREADY refused to testify under oath.
