Thanks very much for posting the interview, analysis and the timeline of how the emails got into the hands of the ABC. I now understand the whole situation more clearly.
Also what's with all the "Right"(s) from Carlson? Someone also posted the comment that Bill O'Riley was too soft on Rogers in his interview. Why doesn't someone in the media connect the dots for America like you did! It's almost like everyone waiting for the Dems to take over anyway.
Thanks again.
Va. Legislator Ends Bid for 3rd Term
Schrock Cites Unspecified Allegations Questioning His Ability to Serve
By Michael D. Shear and Chris L. Jenkins Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, August 31, 2004; Page A02
Rep. Edward L. Schrock (R-Va.) abruptly dropped out of his race for a third term yesterday, citing unspecified "allegations" that he said called into question his ability to represent his Virginia Beach district.
In a statement, Schrock, 63, did not address the nature of the allegations, but he said they "will not allow my campaign to focus on the real issues facing our nation and region." His chief of staff, Tom Gordy, refused any further comment last night.
Schrock's announcement came after a gay activist claimed on a Web site on Aug. 19 that Schrock is secretly gay.
Michael Rogers said his claims about Schrock were motivated by anger over what he said was the hypocrisy of the congressman's opposition to gay rights while leading a gay life. He said the purpose of his Web site is to make public the names of lawmakers and other politicians who engage in such hypocrisy.
"Why should my community protect him?" Rogers asked. "He's the enemy."
