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.

I'm with you. While some of this is believable, there is much much more to this story. Obviously the Dems feel the heat of "uncovering" every homosexual and pedophile in D.C., and are not looking for an out.

Were you a rich, well-connected, cocky, bored kid? or were you a good one who did his homework, helped your parents, picked up baby birds, and was just an all 'round good person? The good kids don't even THINK about messin' with the lives of another person that way.
