New Foley Instant Messages; Had Internet Sex While Awaiting House Vote October 03, 2006 1:22 PM
Brian Ross and Maddy Sauer Report:
Former Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) interrupted a vote on the floor of the House in 2003 to engage in Internet sex with a high school student who had served as a congressional page, according to new Internet instant messages provided to ABC News by former pages.
ABC News now has obtained 52 separate instant message exchanges, which former pages say were sent by Foley, using the screen name Maf54, to two different boys under the age of 18.
This message was dated April 2003, at approximately 7 p.m., according to the message time stamp.

The exchange continues in which Foley and the teen both appear to describe having sexual orgasms.
Maf54: ok..i better go vote..did you know you would have this effect on me Teen: lol I guessed Teen: ya go vote…I don't want to keep you from doing our job Maf54: can I have a good kiss goodnight Teen: :-* Teen:
The House voted that evening on HR 1559, Emergency War Time supplemental appropriations.
According to another message, Foley also invites the teen and a friend to come to his house near Capitol Hill so they can drink alcohol.

Read an exclusive excerpt of the actual instant message exchange.
That is a good point. I assumed when the kid said he had homework, and talked about living at home, and doing lacrosse and waltzing - I did assume he was in highschool. Could have been University and he could also have been in his 20s or 30s or whatever. Personally I doubt it.
Having said that, I will probably be called a homophobe but frankly the gender aspect of it bothers me to.
You need Jesus too. No party is worth the anger you are carrying around inside of you. Both you and Foley can receive God's redemption.
More likely, there's a computer somewhere that's logging on and off automatically.
I don't think it's either. There's probably a lot of ways to get impersonate a nick at one of those chat servers.
It's an expensive upgrade.
I am not sure how pointing out a fact as the age of consent is being a liberal. Nobody is defending the guy. Everyone is happy he resigned. What he did was sick and inexcusable. But it may or may not have been a crime. A Democrat actually had sex with a 17-year old male page and did not resign because he maintained it was just consentual sex between two consenting adults. That is a liberal.
Maybe he abandoned that AOL screen name a while back and it was taken by someone else.
In Foley's case it must have had a big hard drive?
I agree it is wrong and indefensible. Holding on to the information (for political gain) that Foley was a threat to young pages is just as wrong and indefensible. Someone sat on this for three years. Shameless.
The other troubling issue is that if Democrats or liberal media/interest groups knew about this and held it for an "October surprise," then they were allowing the safety of pages to be jeopardized in the interim. By not exposing this issue immediately, they let Foley continue these activities so they could score political points in the lead up to the election.
Then Foley could be innocent of many of the emails! They do not allow a duplicate on AOL....in fact...you are automatically enrolled on the AIM and AOL accounts under your name...and it cannot be taken by another.
Have you noticed all the so-called 'conservatives' coming out? I predict they are neither conservative nor Republican because they use terms like The Republicans are going to lose the House which is right out of the RAT playbook.
No mention of "we" and they are way over the top. Also noticed that a lot of them have taken similar screen names so you have to stop and think who is posting.
You are subscribned to the name for 6 months I believe. IF you give it up..it's not going to be available for 6 months.
Western Civilization has lasted because of Christ. Without Him, we will lose it. Suicide will not change what Foley did. But God can change his heart. And yours too.
it's almost impossible to get rid of AOL, LOL
THis isnt Rome where Politicians in order to redeem themselves and save their estates for their family by cutting their wrists in a warm bath.
In the end I pray for Foley just like everybody else. My sin can condeem me just as his sins can
Anybody who was found to have held this information back should be arrested too... they are complicit
Foley resigned and Clinton didn't so he is no pubby version. He also was not President and didn't have his finger on the nuclear arsenal for starters.
