Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you have to play devil's advocate here for a second.

The media will play this as a Republican page trying to save the Republican House and Senate. That's it. He was believable when it was negative towards the democraps, but he is nothing more than politically motivated now that the story has tuned sour to the libs.

Trust me, this is not as big as you might think.

Forgive me, I haven't had time to read all of the responses to this revelation, but I am perplexed about a few things.

If the page was a "conservative Republican", why would he goad a Republican legislator into believing he (the page) was interested in continuing a lurid, albeit non-physical relationship? Secondly, I recall my days as an 18+ year old and the friends with whom I associated and none of us would have viewed this email, IM exchange as an enjoyable prank. Finally, this "prank" is ultimately revealed within weeks of an election causing the Republican candidate to resign. If that didn't come from page 1 of the DNC playboy, I would be stunned.

Conservatives don't condone Foley's actions, regardless of the reason behind them. But if the left thinks we are going to condemn an entire party for the abhorrent actions of one member, they obviously underestimate the intelligence of the right and our knowledge of what we KNOW would happen to our nation if the left regained power.

I ponder over the past 6 years and imagine the unimaginable advances that could have been made if those years had not been filled with nearly total partisanship and obstructionism on the part of democrats of both the House and the Senate.

I'm not buying this latest version of the Foley story. A member of the legislature asked Pelosi and Emmanual to swear under oath that neither they nor any member of their staffs had any knowledge of this matter prior to its revelation in the media......both refused to do so.

I think every legislator should be sworn and asked the above question......and then let the investigation continue. I believe there would be a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Did Brian Ross and ABC News proceed with the story of the instant messages from this person without talking to him to see if he was serious in the exchange with Foley?

Has anyone emailed Michelle Malkin the Drudge story? She might want to rethink her statement that Edmund is the prey, not the predator.

Both are fearful that their political careers will be affected if they are publicly brought into the matter.

It's a little late for that. Their political careers are over, period. Time to come clean.

Baiting a gay man, ruining his life, and trying to bring down an entire political party, what will they think of next? The Dim-o-crats are finished. Completely washed up. Imagine if a GOPer tried a stunt like this? We'd all be hung out to dry. This stunt was beheath contempt.

Hey, I know a few high powered closeted Dims? Anyone up for an outing? NO, I DIDN'T THINK SO.

Breaking in with breaking news per Fox......oil possibly found in Israel's Dead Sea. Nothing further as yet.

Oh, wow!

Maybe just a ploy since sanctions are about to be voted on by the UN.

At any rate......please, Lord.....let there be oil, globs of it!

Standby for a Friday afternoon release of OTHER IMs & EMAILs to OTHER PAGES thereby rendering the 18 year old aspect of this page and his subsequent "PRANKS" moot!!

If it turns out to be true, it COULD backfire bigtime on the Dems, and anyone else who trotted out their entire "vile, repulsive,etc" battery of adjectives.
But that would depend on the MSM devoting even HALF the day by day attention to this development that they did to the original "story", which I think is unlikely.

Everybody here needs to put their activists hats on and make ABC pay for this just like the CBS rathergate issue. Email Producers, sponsors everything... Congress is already going to investigate so the facts will be known but if the Lame Stream Media attempted to sway another election they have got to go down.

This is just another example of the dems running off half cocked in their zeal to attack, that they don't bother with checking the facts.
Highlights these imbeciles for what they are. Incapable of being taken seriously!!

Thanks to the quick and talent mind of Potlatch!

Pelosi grabs Denny's gavel. Then, Drudge reveals the real Foley/Page story. Nancy starts to pound her head as her dreams implod all over her.

I don't see that this changes things a great deal, actually. If Foley *thought* he was typing in nasty stuff to a 16-yo boy, he is still despicable.

OTOH, if this was saved for an October Surprise by the Dems (as it certainly appears to have been), then that's pretty despicable on the part of the Dems, too. But hey, what else is new?
