FOLEY BOMBSHELL COMING! (Just Breaking on ABC News - News Conference with Foley Attorney)

We always win in the end, remember that.

Feeling the collective aches in many stomachs lately, I thought maybe it was time for another rant?

Where to begin?

It was only a few days ago when we were riding high, enjoying the drop in gas prices and looking forward to a record stock market close. At the same time, our enemy on the Left was beginning to panic, having all their various attack strategies failing, as Bush rose in the polls at the same time that people started paying attention to the upcoming election cycle.

I think it is important to look back beyond those days, and remember how often things seem bad for our side, with the Democrats in full-attack mode, how we could barely conceive of the idea that in the end, things would work out in our favor.

We will maintain control of the House and Senate, period.

Here is why:

We know our enemy. We know the Democrats and what they stand for, which is……nothing. The American people know this as well, and will even if by a whisker, not turn the nation over to people without a plan. The public will not be swayed by attacks on Republicans by those who don’t have a view, a position or a policy of their own.

You can’t beat something with nothing, no matter how much you dislike the ‘something’, and are frustrated with progress on a number of issues. No doubt, our politicians in the House have no one to blame but themselves for their current predicament. Be comforted by the fact that at least our side holds individuals responsible for their actions. Were the Republicans to behave like Democrats, Bush would be pardoning Mark Foley as Clinton did for Mel Reynolds who actually had sex with a 16 year old girl. Did you know that Clinton PARDONED him? I know, you didn’t hear that from the media….

Anyway, so what?

So we can take solace in the fact that we are simply more responsible than the Democrats, but that in itself doesn’t win elections. What wins elections is commitment, character and performance. Who on the left has more of that then those on our team? Even though many of us are rooting for Joe Lieberman, we have not forgotten how he put his positions in a lock-box, while running with Algore.

We don’t have to bet that most of America understands that our side is the side with character. Our side is the side that believes in moral values in spite of the cost. The best news is that the Democrats have “shot their wad” so to speak. I have it on good authority that the Foley matter was due to come out much closer to election day, but that there was major fear of Republican momentum taking over and becoming too strong to beat. While today, Democrats are rejoicing that Foley is the headline instead of today’s record market close, they have nothing but more scandals in their arsenal for the remaining weeks. They don’t have legitimate news that they can use.

That means that good news continues to work in our favor. Democrats can’t use the economy, jobs, or any other economic issues to their benefit, and for as long as they play the scandal game, they can’t use Iraq either. The Democrats, worried that Iraq was not doing enough to help them after Bush stole the attention on the issue, have literally LEAPED on the Foley matter in a desperate attempt to regain momentum.

In doing so, as they always do, Democrats are putting their true natures on display. Even in the MSM, even the slightest attempts at balance have been abandoned. This is their last shot, and they are putting everything they have into it. Anyone who saw the incredibly dense Chris Matthews on Leno last night knows what I am talking about. The Left has decided to do whatever they have to do, because so far, nothing has worked.

Remember Culture of Corruption? $90K in a democrat’s freezer kind of ‘fracked ‘ that up. (a little Battlestar lingo-Friday-baby!) I paid $2.42 yesterday in San Diego to fill up the beast, instead of the 3.30 I was paying a few weeks ago, so Dems can’t use the pump to their advantage either. Combine that against the news last week that regardless of what the Dems say, the American people still believe that Republicans do a better job at National Security. NIE, you say? Dems never though Bush would release the primary points, so NEXT?!? Finally, no one is convinced that Bob Woodward is doing anything with his book other than to secure his place on the Democrat tea party circuit. Otherwise, the Dems wouldn’t have knocked him out of the headlines along with everything else.

All I can say about Foley is…goodbye and good riddance. Someday, someone will have to ask how long the Dems held on to those instant messages while “children were at risk”, but not today.

Today, all we have to do is get our collective asses back to the polls again. Simple, huh? If that happens (and it will) just like 2000, 2002 and 2004, we will win the day. Without giving anything away, you can be confident that in the coming days, Rove and the boys will be showing their hand, and it is a much better hand then the Democrats are playing. Just like a few weeks ago, when we were so discouraged and it took only a couple days to snatch the agenda from the Democrats, it will happen again.

Conservatives and (most) Republicans understand the stakes, and we will beat the Democrats again. This time, it will be really enjoyable, as we sit back and watch the Dems try to blame it all on voting machines. What they will never admit, is that those 'voting machines' that they fear are us!

The media will howl, DU will close to all but registered members again, and if we are really lucky, CNN might bring back Judy Woodruff just to cry on air once again for old times’ sake. The cry fest will be long and loud as the Dems mourn over losing their last chance to get our President. Flags that don’t burn will fly at half-mast in San Francisco and Seattle.

This election is going to set records for turnout from our side. We know our enemy. The Dems wont know what hit them. There will NEVER be a 'Speaker Pelosi'. All this noise is just sauce for the Democrat goose. This rant is to report that very soon the gloves are coming off.

Remember, our side doesn’t get mad, it gets even.

Mark Foley is a GAY MAN!!!

NO WAY!

Pity angle. Knew it would be Oprahesque.

He's GAY!

Shocking!

I don't think most people consider sex with an adult the same thing as sex with a 16-year-old.

Not true. The hot for teacher crowd condones all the time.

Are you implying that the hot-for-teacher crowd constitutes the majority in this country? Or this site?

Excuses...excuses...

Foley molested by Catholic clergy!

Cubicle bound

Press Conference

Foley's Lawyer speaking

"He has never had sexual contact with a minor"
"Mark does not blame the trauma he blamed as an adolescent .... for his emails and IM... kept his shame to himself for over 40 yeaars...between 13 and 15 was molested by a clergyman... was adviced by civil council to delay [decision to reveal name of said clergyman]"

"finally, Mark Foley wants you to know he is a gay man."

The weakest bombshell I've ever heard.

Clarify please?

I don't think my post says what you think it does.

Need play by play, please. I need my Mark Levin at 6

Doesn't surprise me. A lot of kids who are molested turn out to be molesters themselves. That doesn't excuse it, of course, just saying I'm not shocked at all.

Why don't you go and read their posts and decide for yourself.

And the alcohol rehab? And his lawyer's comments about his responsibility?

Just stay away from the Creationist/Evolution threads.

I made that mistake early on and soon learned that they are the cesspool of FR.

Oh well....I was hoping for more. The end. Sounds completley guilty.

I NEVER ever put anything on my e-mails or threads that I wouldn't want anyone to see....that is crazy.

He went into rehab so he wont get arrested.
