(1) Foley should resign. He should be drummed out of the party. He should be investigated, charged and convicted if he's committed any crimes. And he should get the max.

(2) However the timing of all this demonstrates that Foley isn't the only criminal: Democrat activists have clearly known for months, and have been able to prove for months, that Foley was a sexual predator.

A good citizen who cared about the welfare of his fellow citizens would have reported Foley as soon as they had hard evidence.

But these Democratic activists decided to wait for months until just before the election to reveal the information.

People could have been victimized while they waited, but they didn't care.

It was more important for them to score a political point than to do the right thing.

"People could have been victimized while they waited, but they didn't care."

Absolute total nonsense! Whatever the Democrats knew the Republicans knew it before them. I totally reject conservatives choosing this line of moral reasoning in order to avoid responsibility. If the behavior is unacceptable in Democrats, it is doubly unacceptable for conservatives. This is not a time to go wobbly on values.
