"if Conyers can impeach Bush and Cheney at the same time, NANCY PELOSI would be POTUS"...

Impeachment is not removal from office, the Senate is the body that removes a President or VP from office and they need 67 votes to do so which is an IMPOSSIBLITY for it to happen in this case.

Anyway, you are being UNREALISTICLY PRESSIMSTIC. Your scenario will never happen first because the Republicans will keep the House and the Senate and even if they lose the House the democrats will not have enough votes to impeach President Bush because many democrats from the South and Midwest will know that they are politically finished if they vote for impeachment.

I read on the site to Brian Ross linked by Drudge that the IM's reference "sexual organs" and activities in an explicit way.

Not good.

From what I just read from your link...those e-mails, or whatever that are supposed to be a smoking gun sound like he's just trying to sound interested, but not perverted.

Well, well, well...then Major Garrett was wrong...OR, I heard him wrong (which is entirely possible).

I am SURE by Brit's show tonight it will all be researched at Fox...

Thanks for the link.

"Representative" does not mean you vote the way the majority of your constituents believe. A representative is chosen to represent the people, and to vote his or her own conscience.

Our Founders did NOT want a democracy.

Have you ever noticed that Frist peers out from under his eyebrows when he speaks? Maybe that's from being a surgeon and he thinks he has his scrubs on or somethin'.

Yes it would be a twist with Broussard being a dem and his nephew being a page for a GOP MC.

BTW. What do you think of the date on the e-mail being July 29, 2005 when Katrina hit on Aug 29? Foley asks him about the hurricane.

I never liked Anne Coulter and I will never will. She is wrong here as she is wrong on so many issues, I do not know why so much drooling form our side over her, she is not Rush Limbaugh who is right the vast majority of the time.

Wow, I just read the sub-headline on the Drudge Report about this. ABC says they have 'explicit excerpts' of Foley's e-mails?

This is stunning news.

This guy was a definitely a fake Republican, not just on his behavior, but his voting record as well.

We got rid of a RINO? There IS a silver lining in every cloud. (although this cloud is down right black)

It was Dianna who brought up the correct way to look at this whole thing. Most of us are too busy reeling from the news. It is pretty obvious once you have time to digest it all. WHAT DID THE DEMS KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT???

This is from Mark Foley's webpage regarding the issue of children:

As a founder and co-chair of the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, Mark has been instrumental in the development and passage of legislation designed to protect our children.

He authored legislation that became law -- the Volunteers for Children Act -- that gives volunteer organizations that work with children, such as scouting and sports groups, access to FBI fingerprint-based background checks to ensure that they are not inadvertently hiring child molesters.

He has also cosponsored legislation toughening the penalties levied at those who hurt children and, most recently, has joined forces with the Administration and Congress to fight child predators. His Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, which has passed both the House and Senate, will overhaul the way we track and monitor predatory pedophiles. He has also introduced and cosponsored legislation designed to eliminate child pornography and exploitive child modeling web sites.

Over the years, Mark also has worked closely with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and John Walsh (host of Fox TV’s America’s Most Wanted) on a variety of child protection programs. Among the latest of these is a program designed to show children how to protect themselves from online predators.

It depends who replaces Foley, it could go either way.

Can't we find a heterosexual in Tampa?

The seat may not be done yet. I want to know who the replacement candidate will be. Tommy Franks could win, Joe Schmo Nobody will lose. The replacement candidate has to have a name that overpowers Foley's.

As for Foley, stick a fork in him 'cause he's done. If it's even half as bad as it appears, the man is a pervert and I don't want to be in a party in which he is a member.
