Can you provide me with a list of the democrat congress-creatures who called for an immediate FBI investigation when Gary Condit's intern disappeared and was later found dead?

One thing would help Hastert and the other leaders is to come out and apologize for not seeing the signs even though they did read some overly friendly IMs and should have recognized the signs.

How is the gay comminity reacting?

Some are quietly smirking...some are partying....and some are ashamed...

Foley has brought the focus on homosexualty and cast the dark light.....because he is a Republican. This would be section B news if he were a democrat...

I thot the Dems were the party of free love, boy-man love, no restrictions by age on sex, homosexual marriage. Surely there is a way to turn this back on them.

you are correct - but the dems are also the party of hypocracy on such a grand scale that it is simply too much to comprehend.

But Democrats are attempting to make hay by alleging that the Republican leadership may have known about the inappropriate emails and covered them up for months

This really is the only stance the Rats CAN take.
They can't really take a stance against what Foley did because of their already commited stance for, to put it politely, "civil unions".

Long but good article. BTW:

Then on September 18, the blog printed the fairly innocuous email exchange between Congressman Foley and an unnamed page.

For the record, I looked it up, the Florida primaries were on September 5. That would have been the last day Foley's name could have been removed from the ballot.

I will remember the name "C.R.E.W."

There appears to be a bunch of people who seem anxious to suppress their moral compass in order to view this matter through the limited prism of their political compass. If that is your particular understanding in this matter, I need for someone to tell me the difference between conservatives and Democrats.

The only option is a clear and absolute condemnation of what sits in front of us. What is morally correct is also politically astute. Those of you who choose to wallow in this moral relativism claiming that "we are not as bad as them" are destined to practice their politics in a sewer along with those that we oppose.

and have accepted the need for immediate treatment for alcoholism and related behavioral problems.



He goes one tiny step further, calling his outrageous actions "related behavioral problems"...


Good grief. How politically correct can it get? behavioral problem? pppfffttt..

The diary was met with skepticism from Daily Kos users, and received only a few largely critical comments. “This diary makes an accusation,” one commenter wrote, “a serious accusation, but provides no evidence to back it up.”

Obviously, the KosKids saw Foley as a gay Republican.

Another note: Foley's opponent has received a lot of money, according to some accounts, and has been strong and active for a quixotic challenge to an entrenched Congressman, suggesting somebody knew something.

I saw several posts while lurking in various newsgroups and the gay reaction is....they're glad Foley has been outed!

As far as Foley's crime goes....not much being said about that.

If these people knew about anything more than the "overly friendly" emails before now, then they were abetting a sexual predator for several months.

Yep, the story will be muddled by the sexually explicit IMs. The fact that they were only revealed after the ABC story will be lost.

If the age of consent in Washington is 16, was a crime really committed?

Do 'words' on a computer screen in an instant message have the same weight in law as actual sexual contact?

There is NO ONE on this website who has accepted what Foley did as ok. NO ONE.

The problem is that the rats, who are oh so worried about children, sat on this information until it was politically useful. How many children did Foley interact with while the Dems sat on this information?

Of coure they're glad. Gays detest anyone in the closet, especially Republicans...because they consider it to be hypocritical. So much for embracing all people "of their kind."

So the first post was made on the last day Foley's name could have been withdrawn?

I think the dems played this MUCH too cute.

We aren't as bad as them.

Where is William Jefferson? In Congress.

Where is Barney Frank, the landlord of a "madam"? In Congress.

How many times did Gerry Studds, who actually did the deed with an underage male page get re-elected afterwards? Five.

What more do you want us do to? Commit violence?

The fact is the MSM is dancing overtime to obscure the instant messages with the innocuous emails.

If democrats want to nationalize this Foley scandal then they have to admit some facts.

The REAL issue is a homosexual soliciting sex from a child.

Thus if Democrats were sincere then they would be pushing for federal laws prohibiting homosexuals from contact with child, adopting children, and specific professions.

Democrats have an issue but they can't use it because they are in the homoadvocacy position not the keep homosexuals from children position.

The fact is the MSM is working overtime to not address the difference between the known emails and the just exposed instant messages.

Fox News Live just had Robert Novack and it was EXPLICITY pointed out the different between emails and instant messages. Robert Novak just ignored the difference when it was pointed out to him. Instead he went into the plain "republicans are dooooomed" anylisis.

If democrats were able to function they would DEMAND to pass legislation to limiting contact between homosexuals and children.

Republicans can not only difuse this debate, regardless of winning/loosing foleys former seat, by putting more out in public faster than democrat can debate.
