The Abramhoff and Foley “scandals” were solely the inventions of the MSM-DNC. If not, then why after the 2006 elections, did they faded off the radar faster than a UFO in a Sci-fi movie?

How were they an invention by the MSM-DNC? Are you saying they never happened?

Everyone associated with the Foley scandal was Republican - Foley, Hastert, Boehner, Tom Reynolds, the house clerk, etc. Whatever happened to Foley; he was supposed to have checked into rehab (for alcohol, no less) for a month (to avoid the press presumably) but don't know what happened to him after that.

As far as the Abrimoff scandal goes, it is not on the front page very much but it is still ongoing. I think Abrimoff is still cooperating. One of the latest to be caught up in it was J. Stephen Griles, who pleaded guilty of obstruction of justice back in March.

Here I really have to disagree. The Foley scandal was a phony scandal. So, some gay congressman tried to talk not-so-nice with some late teen boys. They weren’t groped, raped, or even touched, and the Congressman quit when the whole thing came out. I wouldn’t vote for a gay congressman, but then they sure would in Massachusetts. Question: how much media exposure did Mass Congressman Gary Studd's sexual encounters, not talk, with pages did the media cover? How 'bout Mass Congressman Barney Frank's male prostitution ring. Much coverage on ABCCBSCNNNBCPBS?

Now compare that to the Dem Congressman in Louisiana with with the $$$ in the freezer. Still serving! How ‘bout Harry Reid’s illegal land deals in Nevada? Or Diane Feinstein’s husband getting prime Navy property in San Fran? Or Murtha’s shady dealing with DoD contractors? Each and every one of these scandals I heard about from Free Republic and/or Fox News.

None of these got air time on the Driveby Media in Sept-Nov 2006. They only had room for Foley. I remember well that in early Sept of 2006 the Republicans numbers in the House and Senate were starting to go up. Then the Foley scandal was dropped and the DBM was ordered to drum beat it to death. It worked. ABC's Brian Ross Investigates spent a whole month on Foley stories.

The DBM made the Foley scandal much greater than all the multiple scandals the Dems were involved in because they wanted the Dems to win.
