I hope the Democrats realize what a Pyrrhic victory this will be for them. In their quest to retake power, they will have set the gay agenda back 20 years or more.

Haven't you heard the FReepers ranting about how this has nothing to do with Foley being gay, and how there's no way Hastert could have been suspicious of Foley because he was a gay man sending creepy emails to a teenage boy?

So many have already surrendered their feeble minds to gay indoctrination.

What is wrong with you? No one is "submitting to gay indoctrination". What do you think Hastert should have done with Foley BEFORE he found out about the IM's? Sequestered him from the rest of Congress? Had him wear a sign around his necK? Hired a detective to tail him? (And who would have paid for that?)

If you want a law against homosexuals, good luck with getting that passed.

yes, but the flipside argument there is - should Foley have been profiled because he was known to be gay? now, you can say "yes" to that, but at least acknowledge that's what you are advocating Hastert should have done.
