I know, we've all read too much about the death of the beloved Massachusetts congressman. but don't you think it's ironic that the only mention of Mark Foley refers to him as Rep Mark Foley R-Fort Pierce, yet there is no mention in this AP/St. Pete Times article about the Democrat Party affiliation of Studds?

There's no mention of his party affiliation because it's assumed!

"His husband said"... how can they tell?

There are multiple stories here, all of which should help the GOP, if only the media...aw shucks! How could I expect the old media to see ANY story here?

Look, I think Democrats are hypocrites like everyone else with a brain, but the Foley situation was, in my opinion, a lot more troubling than Studds. If it came out 10 years from now that Foley had sent his digusting IMs, no one would have cared. Its worse because the Foley thing was occuring in real time.

Most of the major "personalities" in the MSM are announced Defeatocrats. Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Fat guy at ABC, Mike Wallace, Chris Matthews, Tim Russert, on and on and on and on.

They are simply carrying water for their party. The DNC is going with this Foley thing until election day, and so are they.

Notice how Harry Reid's Mafia connections are being ignored.

Think the MSM is neutral? Not on your life.

No mention of his party afiiliation? He's called "Rep. Studds" so many times in this article, I thought his first name was "Rep."

Typical - but Studds has no name recognition and therefore I don't believe it's an issue. It's just some on the democrat side want to try to make a connection - when there isn't one. Studds was having an affair with the Page - while the Page was working for him.

Foley did not do that - and there is no evidence to support any physical contact between Foley and ANY Page. And .. a recent report indicates they have searched the Page's dormatory records and there is NOTHING about Foley ever being there.

It's just the continual smear by the drive-by media - because if the democrats lose the next 2 elections - the MEDIA IS ALSO TOAST!! Consequently, the drive-by is trying to survive .. but they're not going to .. because they no longer deal with the truth but only with how they can damage the repubs.

I'm sick of it .. and I'm voting repub more to dump the media as much as to keep any dems from winning their elections.

But he did not apologize and defended the relationship as a consensual relationship with a young adult.

And there you have it folks. Possibly the beginning of NAMBLA?

Dims truly believe that if you are 17, 16, 15, 14, 13 years old and consent to having sex with someone 10, 20, 30 years older, and the older person is a Democrat, then it is okay and no one else's business and laws against this be damned.

Shades of NAMBLA.
