I am a straight veteran white guy nearly 50 years old.
Mark Foley is my congress critter as I live in Port St. Lucie Fl.
He is and has been a very good congressman for many years. I support him and could care less if he is a homosexual. Fact is his sexuality has never entered into whether he is competant or not.
He is a leader in the fight for veterans. He is approachable as a representitive he reflects his constituancy.
If he runs for the U.S. Senate I will probably work to elect him. I know many gays as they are through out society. If they do their job and don't pester me with it then so what? And in reality he hasn't come out and said he is, just that whatever he is is no ones business except his own.
I am married and my wife of 25 years and I have a 16 year old son. Whatever my wife and I do within our sex lives is no one elses business and if one were to press the subject I'd probably try to kick their ass. Mr. Foley at least is more civilized then I.
I have several friends who live in the Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce area, and they certainly agree with you. Foley's staff is professional and responsive. I've watched Foley on t.v., and he is an articulate supporter of GWB's policies.
McCollum is without a doubt one of the most boring individuals on the planet, and a terrible campaigner to boot. I don't believe FL Republicans are silly enough to give him another shot when there's so much riding on the outcome.
Well said.
