They seem to be coming out with polls every 30 minutes or so. And all of the polls show that Republicans across the country are being punished because some Rep in Florida didn't have sex with an employee.

How odd.

"Republicans" are being punished to make the same social conservative base stay home in "outrage". The same social conservative base that supported "same sex marriage bans".

Republicans are being punished for having the wrong politics.

Foley is being punished for being a homosexual. But that wasn't enough to call for his ousting so they called him a child molester (which he was not). He left because he was outed and stepping down was the right thing to do (unlike Bill Clinton who bribed witnesses to lie under oath about his office sexcapades in a sexual harassment lawsuit).

Now Paula Jones may have been irrelevant to the case of Whitewater, but the same tactics of buying off witnesses and intimidating others (and smearing their names in print) were present in both cases. And when Bill Clinton's team went into COVER-UP, they did the same thing that Nixon did.

No according to the polls the REpublicans are being punished because the Republican leadership covered up Foleys behavior in order to maintain its majority. More than two thirds believe that. In addition, the Republican leadership has shown exactly NO leadership for at least four years. What a bunch of whimps. Where the hell is Newt when you need him.
