They will comfort themselves with the thought that between now and 2008, they can cleanse their party.

This is my exact thought.

While I agree with the old gay guy, what the heck is "the New York press", and he could have found a more obscure place to pen his musings?

Foley? Who's Foley?

That is the answer about 70% of the voters will give on election day.
The other 30% have already decided.

In the wake of the scandal surrounding former Congressman Mark Foley Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, what will RepublicanDemocrat voters do?

We won't hear that question any time soon.

People used to speculate that Ed Koch was homosexual. But in the end, it didn't matter, because he was absolutely resolute in keeping his sexual orientation to himself and his sex life private.

The whole problem arises when homosexuals become gay activists, and try to make their sexual orientation a political issue.

The NY Times writes about the Foley affair: "Democrats hoped—that the sordid nature of the scandal . . ." What breathtaking hypocrisy. Does the Times really think that homosexual activity is sordid? I doubt it, since they are the premier gay newspaper in the country. They merely hope, hypocritically, that Republicans will find it sordid. But if a Democrat is a homosexual, that is virtuous, that is good, that is politically correct, that is better than heterosexual because it represents a deprived minority.

Hypocrisy.

That puppy got out of the bag just a little bit too soon.

If it had been dumped on October 20th or October 27th (right after Rush went off the air), the whole story would have been so much more devastating to the Republicans.

But then the North Korea crisis would have grabbed attention, and this business about Mark Foley might never have gotten beyond Page 4. Which would have devastated the Dem'crats. Because it was their best shot for this election cycle.

No, the "Pubbies stuck it to themselves with pork spending, border issues, etc. Most conservatives and Republicans would think that Foley ws Foley's problem.

The Foley scandal will not deter any Republican voters that care enough to go to the polls, and certainly won't make any change their votes to Democrats. The MSM would like nothing better than to play up the idea that the conservative base is so sickened by the Foley affair that they will stay home or press D. Not so.

Mark Foley was just one randy gay guy. Nothing more, nothing less. For the left to scream that Republican leadership didn't do enough to get rid of Foley is hypocrisy at its height; look at how the left panders to homosexuals and pedophiles. There certainly have been enough Dems over the years that fit those descriptions.

If the Republicans lose, it won't be because of some gay guy nor because the MSM beat them up so unfairly. It will be due to open borders, bloated spending and war fatigue. Foley is already forgotten.
