Perhaps the reason for this article is The Times saying to demoncrap operatives: "Don't think this is over. You must man those phone banks and keep working."

Either that or else they are sending the signal, dump more or find another scandal.

You're probably right, though at least this is accurate reporting. Liberals don't know or understand Christians so all their hopes for suppressing the vote were misplaced.

Duh? And that's what we, conservatives, have known all along, but the MSM couldn't get through their heads.

All the talk about conservatives deserting the polls because of Foley...how ridiculous.

The moral outrage from the Democrats claiming that the Republican party has no values, all the while, the Democrats continue to be the party of abortion and gay marrriage. Pure hypocrisy...and it may drive more conservatives to the polls.

"that the sordid nature of the scandal would discourage conservative Christians from going to the polls"

Discouraging Christians from going to the polls was the purpose of disclosing Foley's emails and IMs with 20 and 21 year old young men. In several states the question of gay marriage is on the ballot. The Democrats want gay marriage to pass in these states. It has a good chance of passing without the Christian vote.

Here is a possible list of the next victims on C.R.E.W.'s hit list. C.R.E.W. claims they're corrupt. Most are Republicans. Beyond Delay

I believe that the NYTimes and ABC are to blame.

As word of Representative Mark Foley’s sexually explicit e-mail messages....

Would someone please point me to the sexually explicit part? I don't see anything remotely explicit in his e-mails.

The closest thing to position papers or briefs I have written about this subject, and gays are here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1715754/posts?page=14#14
and here:
http://www.freedominion.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=785474&highlight=#785474

And I truly believe that the Left's throwing gays under the bus for cheap ( and probably transient or nonexistent ) political gains is going to backfire on them, badly. They look mean in both the modern and archaic sense of the word.

Most of the evangelical Christians interviewed said that so far they saw Mr. Foley’s behavior as a matter of personal morality, not institutional dysfunction.

Uh, yeah. Unlike Dems, we don't blame everyone else for our own personal failings and challenges. This is why the Republican party is an excellent choice for groups of people who have historically seen themselves or are called 'victims' in society. Dems reinforce this thinking; Republicans say BS you can be more if you try.

I asked my non-political girl what she thought was more important...NK detonating a nuclear bomb or a Congressman writing dirty emails to a page. She said the bomb. I said Guess what they're talking about on the news?

She said a Congressman sending a dirty email isn't news.

The only thing the Foley scandal did for me is to make me more determined to get out and vote conservative.

The Democrats have realized that there is just enough time before the 2006 that this could backfire on them. Some of the sick RATS are already trying to lay low and keep the MSM off their backs.

Told ya, so, NYT's.

I'm a member of the so called "Christian Right". Granted since I've become more conservative overall on a variety of issues certain issues like abortion and marriage and prayer now jockey for position among WOT and other issues, but character remains my number one issue and barring the President doing something stupid like pocket VETO of the fence, this stunt only made me decide to vote Republican which I had NOT intended to do.

Liberals do NOT understand Christians and this stunt was as despicable and condecending as anything you've done in recent years.

Where liberals tend to think of collective responsibility, conservative Christians focus on personal morality. “The conservative Christian audience or base has this acute moral lens through which they look at this, and it is very personal,” Mr. Dunn said. “This is Foley’s personal sin."

Apparently the NYT's needed to have someone explain to them that Christians don't have a Marxist view of the world.

I bet this story will resurface when foley gets out of rehab. Is he expected out of rehap just days before the election? For now, the Rove planned North Korea nuke test will be the front pages for now...
