Pressure on Hastert, Republicans From Foley Scandal Intensifies - WSJ.com

If you're looking to blame another party perhaps for this becoming news then you're looking up the wrong bush. The democrats sent an email out about this morning referencing the wrong Foley

I must surmise that you only comprehended the part of my post that you quoted.

Read it again:

The whole thing is political cuz it's poli-ticks we are watching and it's poli-ticks we are infested with... on both sides.

The timing of the release of the messages smells of political timing.... releasing them on the last day of CONgress was thoughtfully planned and they were hoping for certain results. We'll see how it works out.

Anyone who had prior intimate knowledge of these shananigans and withheld information is morally guilty of allowing cyber-pedophilia..... for political gain.

All this is social silliness to me - they abused themselves....... he made contact thru the IM - who made the first pass? This little 16 yo is just as sick as Foley - they both are ill - it's not a political issue... it has become one cause of who they are. Foley doesn't represent all republicans, and the other little hand banger doesn't represent all pages....... If that's the case - they need to shut the page program down.........

Now Foley is blaming it on alcohol AND he was abused by a member of the clergy when he was young. So much for the ol Republican mantra of personal responsibility. Bleeding heart bastard placing blame elsewhere. Shame. Shame. Probably gonna need the ALCLU to help him outta this mess!

Just shoot the SOB's! Is this the excuse of the day anymore? I was a "mackeral snapper" for over 30 years, and I never got molested. I did get drunk a few times with the "clergy"! On the other hand, I tried to molest a few "nuns"! Most of the nuns molested me back with those damn rulers!!

On another note, the A$$hole that murdered all of those Amish kids is another example of today's idiots. He supposedly was thinking about "molesting" some kids, so he goes out and kills a bunch of innocent ones! He should have just killed himself, before he killed any kids! Of course, with our "wonderful" justice system, molesters and murderers get better treatment than the common man.

Ya know, if we stopped the free flow of money into Washington them CONgress Critters wouldn't have so much free time on their hands.

You act like this is the first time something like this (in general not specifically) has happened. Republicans have done the same on many occasions, as have the democrats. You just get your panties in a bunch when your party is on the recieving end. Get over it.

Kirk Fordham, a former aide to ex-Rep. Mark Foley, said he alerted the office of the Republican leader of the House of Representatives two years ago about worrisome conduct by Foley with teenage pages, AP reports.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

I don't think it should be politicized but the liberal media is all over this like stink on a demokrat.... They are making it political and that sucks. The guys is a perv and has resigned very quickly. He did the right thing by resigning. Too bad we can't get a few Kennedy's to do the same.....

So...your saying that your Republican Congressman trying to get a little gay, underage sex is OK, and shouldn't be politicized. But when it was President Clinton getting some head from a consenting adult of the opposite sex we should make it political and impeach him.

Excuse me if I'm having a little trouble following your reasoning, or maybe I should say hypocrisy!

I've said it once, I'll say it again....The Republican and Democrat parties should forever be disbanded. All other parties too for that matter. There will be no more party line votes without parties. You go to Washington as an American and do a good, "common sense" job for the American people.

Oh honestly - All this is no reason to vote Democrat and no reason not to vote Republican. It is representitive of the individual - not the party. That's what politicizing means to me. Bill got caught - the impeachment wouldn't have gone on if he hadn't of lied so much. Foley didn't lie - he resigned...... Bill tried to beat the system after Monica beat hi........ well you know.

The two are close but not the same. (or no cigar)....... this really has nothing to do with politics. Bill was the president for christs sake....... yeah he was held to a higher standard....... just the way it is...
