So when Studds (a democrat) has sex with a 17 year old page, he's a hero.
But when Foley has written conversation with a 18 year old male, he's a jerk.
Typical double standard of the American Left Wing Lunatic Society.
Gerry Studds was a hero who beat a path for the gay Congressmen of the future. Gerry had a penetrating intellect and an overwhelming desire to get to the bottom of every issue. Even when things got messy, he bent over backwards to help millions of young men get over the hump -- a true hands on legislator. There were many ups and downs in his life, but Gerry always knew how to swallow hard, suck it up and keep plugging away. Gerry used to say to me "I don't care how much crap gets in your way John, don't be afraid to reach for that ring. And when you get there, keep pushing." He was real straight shooter, always willing to take on a heavy load with a smile on his face, never hesitating to get down on his hands and knees to help the little guy. Boy was I ever blown away by his committment to servicing the public. If Congessman Studds had one flaw, it was that he was forever turning the other cheek and possibly spreading himself too thin. In short he made me feel like a teenager again. His death has left a gaping hole in me that can never truly be filled.
