Personally, I don't think he's gay, but I wish he would point blank come out and say that, if thats the case, I don't see why he's letting them make an issue out of this.

Foley is really pretty cool. He's on local AM radio from time to time talking about issues, and he's right on. I hope he beats Graham decisively.

The rats are desperate! They are the party of the gays, so why try and hurt someone by saying they are gay? I thought they embraced gays, worked for them, believed in them etc. Guess it never occurred to them that by declaring him gay, they might have compelled some bleeding heart liberals to vote for him just to show how PC they are!

Isn't it pretty much a well-known fact in Washington that Foley's gay and just no one talks about it? In any case, I think he would make a good nominee for the Senate race.

"When we talk about a candidate for public office, we talk about their record of leadership and their ability to serve," Maddox said. "We do not fire off accusations about their private life."

. . .that is, unless you are a hypocritical Demrat.

Hope the 'rats' in Florida get beaten by their own game. . .

"Foley, a five-term congressman, refused to answer questions about whether he is gay, saying his sexual preference had no bearing on his duties as a lawmaker."

He's gay.

But I thought that the all loving liberals don't care about that. I don't know if this guy is gay or not, and I don't care, so long as he doesn't try to indoctrinate my children. The democrats apparently have a problem with a Republican who may or may not be gay. Rank hypocrites....

Homophobia is alive and well in the RAT party. Where's the outrage of Howard Dean and Richard Gephardt? Didn't Bill Clinton teach us that personal lives are nobody's business? How quickly the RATS forget.

Where there's smoke there's fire, huh? RATS don't launch an attack like this unless there's some ammunition.

I see Foley is pro-"choice" as well. Seems as if Florida GOP could do better than this.

I could care less if he's gay or not. It's a private matter and none of my business.

Neither the uninspiring Foley or the equally uninspiring McCollum have a prayer in Florida. The Republicans better come up with an attractive, well-known conservative candidate pretty darn quick.

The Dem senate seat is ripe for the plucking this election and I'm getting bad vibes that the Pubbies will drop the basket. I'm praying that both GW and brother Jeb step in with some political as well as common sense.

I knew this was coming. In fact I was going to post something about it on FR a few months ago about why it might not be a good idea to nominate Foley but but held off.

I resent people who start rumors like that. By the way, what's up with that gerbil that fell out of his pant leg?

his denials peg him as a homosexual. Its really simple, he just needs to say I am not a homosexual. Besides he has not won the primary yet, he has competition.

Mark Foley was my Congressman until redistricting.

I even met him a few times. He's a nice guy.

However, if he is a homosexual I will not vote for him. Period.

It's pretty well known in GOP circles down here that he is gay. Personally, I agree with him. It's nobody's business. Doesn't bother me what the man does in his private life.
