The age of consent is just a standard age that you won't be charged with statuatory rape. You will still probably be charged with indecent liberties with a minor. Unless, you have connections or are a government official. Time will tell on that, let's see if he is charged.

What Bill did was not a crime???? I thought perjury was a crime. My bad. He was not impeached for his sex fling, but for his lies.

If it is proven the Republican leadership ignored and/or tried to squelch the issue concerning Foley's propensity for chasing underage pages, it's gonna become a political issue. A damn big political issue.

I'm not gonna get into a pissing match with you - it's not that imortant to me. If, When, Will,...... all these things are NOT proven. - This is still the USA right? Ya'll get like revival preachers - pretty soon all you hear is your own point of view cause you lose the ability to reason. If the democrats or republicans donet tell you to think it - you can't....... You wanna think like that - go ahead - don't change my vote none - IF everything you THINK he has done HAD been done - he would be in jail by now......nuff said Sometimes you salivate for so long that when you finally get to taste what you wanted............ it just don't taste right........ better to wait till the game is dead before ya try to cook it and serve it up.......course some folks like to just see the chase for the kill - enjoy! I find it all kinda stupid.

"Mark Foley has now checked into rehab for alcoholism. Oh, shut up. Like that's the big problem. Who cares if he's addicted to Jack Daniels? He's addicted to little Jack and little Daniel. That's the problem." --Jay Leno

Mark Foley just flirted with underage pages on the internet, he waited until they were legal to make any advances.

Republicans have their politics like they have their sex......Barely Legal.

[TexKan]

Foley is a sick feller that just happens to be republican - he in no way represents what they stand for anymore than the Kennedys or Clinton represented what the democrats stood for. Every party is gonna "circle the wagons" when sumthin happens. Every party does it - The perps (dem and repub) represent themselves. It's not thier political affiliation that makes them stupid - it's thier belief they are above the law. Foley will get caught - there is some kid out there somewhere that will step up. Unless he actually managed to stay just inside the law....... who knows........ both party's are pretty sick....... one's not better than the other. Sounds like most folks on both sides knew he was kinky....... just didn't really do much about it - maybe there wasn't much any of em could do..........

Mark Foley is accused of e-mails and IM’s but not of actually having sex with pages.(That might come later but hasn’t yet.) He resigned and is hiding in a hole someplace not running for reelection. If Republicans don’t resign the voters take them out.

Democrat congressman Gerry Studds took a 17 year old page on a trip to Portugal and did have sex with him. Studds went on to be reelected five times by liberal voters.

Bill Klinton had sex with an intern in the office and none of the liberal women’s rights groups like NOW batted an eye about sexual harassment on the job. We still hear the liberal spin about just lying about sex when Klinton committed the criminal offense of perjury. A manager in the private sector would have been fired and likely served jail time but a democrat in office gets a pass and excuses.
