Now isn't THAT an interesting bit of coincidence. Now how to research for that....
Buck up, this is going to be a long 6 weeks. The sky is not falling.
Being gay is one thing. Being a freakin' child molester is another.
The GOP is bound and determined this year to turn the House over to Nancy Pelosi and Charlie Rangel.
I am so pissed...........
That's not going to help much, it seems to me. If his name is still on the ballot, it will be poison. And that is, apparently, what will happen, according to the law.
Not only has Foley shamed himself, he's pretty much assured that the seat goes to a Democrat. Not good.
Since I'm sure I'm about to get labeled a pedophile-supporter for my insistence that we wait and see the specifics (legitimacy of the AIM messages, what was actually said that was sexually explicit, etc.), I think now is a good time to check out some other threads and come back to this one when things have cooled down a bit. (Both on my end and others).
You won't get called such by me. Presumption of innocence is not only guaranteed, it's essential.
OTOH, innocent men don't resign in the middle of a campaign. I find it extremely hard to believe that the charges are baseless.
I hate to pass judgement from just a picture, but, that young man looks as queer as a three dollar bill.
Thanks, I have made painfully aware of my false assumption.
ABC News and CREW would know.
You want to replace the homosexual with a drug addict?
I am not sure if I would ever vote for someone that uses AOL.
"...His mother was trapped in a St. Bernard nursing home and every day she called him and said, 'Are you coming, son? Is somebody coming?' And he said, 'Yeah, Mama, somebody's coming to get you. Somebody's coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Thursday. Somebody's coming to get you on Friday.' And she drowned Friday night. She drowned Friday night..."BOOHOOO BOOOHOOO WAAAHHHHH!
Yes, Aaron Broussard, Jefferson Parish. Weird.
MR. AARON BROUSSARD: We have been abandoned by our own country. Hurricane Katrina will go down in history as one of the worst storms ever to hit an American coast, but the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will go down as one of the worst abandonments of Americans on American soil ever in U.S. history. I am personally asking our bipartisan congressional delegation here in Louisiana to immediately begin congressional hearings to find out just what happened here. Why did it happen? Who needs to be fired? And believe me, they need to be fired right away, because we still have weeks to go in this tragedy. We have months to go. We have years to go. And whoever is at the top of this totem pole, that totem pole needs to be chain-sawed off and we've got to start with some new leadership....
Transcript from MSNBC Meet the Press It may not be any relation. Broussard may be a common Louisiana name. It is worth looking into, though.
"One more Queer Democrat down!!!
Foley is a Republican homo.
We don't need POS in the party. This can serve as a warning to other Pubbies - if you're messing with kids, resign.
Ya think they want to get the prez impeached? I mean, the GOPsters? The House was an effective body until this afternoon. Why the heck would they want to mimic the useless senate? I wonder if they'll run someone or just hand it to a democrat.
OM Gosh, there you go!
I have drawn a blank who is Tommy Franks? Would he stand a chance at this late date ?
Then we'll have to see to it that they use a Butterfly Ballot. That way, we can confuse them into voting for Foley anyway!

Florida Elections Law:
(4)(a) In the event that death, resignation, withdrawal, removal, or any other cause or event should cause a party to have a vacancy in nomination which leaves no candidate for an office from such party, the Department of State shall notify the chair of the appropriate state, district, or county political party executive committee of such party; and, within 5 days, the chair shall call a meeting of his or her executive committee to consider designation of a nominee to fill the vacancy. The name of any person so designated shall be submitted to the Department of State within 7 days after notice to the chair in order that the person designated may have his or her name on the ballot of the ensuing general election. If the name of the new nominee is submitted after the certification of results of the preceding primary election, however, the ballots shall not be changed and the former party nominee's name will appear on the ballot. Any ballots cast for the former party nominee will be counted for the person designated by the political party to replace the former party nominee.
