Because of this dirtbag foley we are supposed to let the rats take control by staying home on election day? When the first frost hits hell.

Even worse, imagine if this was a gay DEMOCRAT. Can you imagine the howls of indignation if the Republicans made a stink about it? You'd see blanket coverage in the media of how the "religious right" is so anti homosexual, and how they are ready to persecute anyone who is "different".

Right, Middle America will respond to this scandal by voting in droves for the pro-gay party.

NO; Middle America WILL vote for the opposite party!!!

I'd settle for them being the modern day GOP. We were out of power for 40 years from 1954 until 1994.

They might not be able to handle the emotions, but at 16...they aren't 'children'.

I'm glad somebody else realizes this. All of this hysteria in the media about Foley being a "pedophile" preying on children is really starting to get ridiculous. A 16 year-old is worlds different from a 6 year-old when it comes to sexual matters, and any law written by sane people should recognize that. As has been pointed out, the age of consent in DC is 16, so it wouldn't have even been illegal for Foley to have had sex with this kid. Ironically, the only reason Foley may face criminal charges is that he himself helped craft an online predator law that makes the silly, not to mention asinine, assumption that teens are equal to toddlers in terms of sexual innocence and maturity.

If I were to describe the kind of sexual activities that 16 year-olds (and younger) were engaging in at my high school, I'm quite certain this post would get pulled. That's why it's somewhat difficult for me to buy all of this "pedophile scandal" crap from a salivating news media establishment that is quite obviously lusting to see the Republicans lose Congress.

The Marxists had the Hate Bush rhetoric ready to go the day Bush won the election. Daschle was defeated because he led the party of "No".

Republicans need to grow a pair and start hitting back hard. Start proving that the RATS are nothing more than anti-democracy thugs led by Lenin's grandchildren.

Screw the fear of being called a McCarthyite. Go after them.

nana,

I'm not sure that's the name of the organization but it's similar - they call me at least once a week.

Telling me that gasp my congresswoman helped GWB raise campaign funds or that she voted herself a raise while jobs continue to go over seas.

As if ... dim congresscritters don't also vote themselves raises or help raise campaign funds for the dim party.

It's insulting really. And if this works with dim voters, they are too dumb to be deciding the future of this country.

Thanks for your reply. That was my first call; or maybe not since I quit answering 1-800 calls & turned off my answering machine most of the time. This group hit my machine while on yesterday & this message really riled me after absorbing the Foley news yesterday. If they are targeting Republicans, they failed; because they sure insulted me.
