FOLEY FLAK

There are a number of subjects that I would rather write about than one that centers around a disgusting act by a Congressman regardless of party. Foley's IMs and his seeming intent by them deserves his leaving his seat and the justified retrobution, (no I'm not talking postal), that any parent of a 16 year old child would want if anyone approached their son in the manner that Foley did. The problem that is developing with this is the life that it is taking concerning the blame game and who is responsible. There have been calls for the resignation of the Speaker and much of the GOP leadership for what they, "knew," prior to last weeks revelation by ABC. Each of those in leadership positions have indicated that they new nothing of the IM's and that Foley was approached and a demand for stoppage of the e-mails was made and until last weeks revelation it was believed that this disgusting predator had stopped. My question that seems to be neglected in the media and all of the flak that has developed due to this incident is, why then if this is for the protection of , "the children, " as was expressed by Nancy Pelosi did those who have used this story for political advantage sit on it for the same amount of time that the GOP is being accused of hiding it ? Additionally why did ABC who had the story as early as August not release it then if they were so worried about the children ? This excuse by ABC of being too busy covering the Katrina and 9/11 anniversaries does not hold water if for nothing else than both only covered a short news cycle and the last of the anniversaries was over the second week of September. There is also no member of the Democrat leadership who did not know of this in the same way that the GOP has indicated well before last week which makes me believe that this is just another of the , "October Surprises, " that the Dems have used every election since 2000. This does not excuse Foley or his dispicable acts but his resignation and whatever he faces in the future to answer for them along with additional safeguards in the page program is what this requires. If the left wants to point fingers as to who is, "responsible, " for this, other than Foley, then fingers should point all over Congress. Any leader regardless of party cannot possibly know what every member is doing 24 hours a day. Do any of you know what IMs are being sent by people that you are closly associated with? The leadership handled the e-mails in what all who were aware of them, (both Republican and Democrat), believed at the time was an appropriate manner. It was not until it could be used for political advantage prior to Novembers election that it hit the press and created the fire storm that it has. If those on the left like Pelosi are so interested in protecting the children than they should have dealt with it in a different manner when they were first aware of Foley's acts and not waited to use it for political advantage.

To my fellow conservatives and Republicans, do not let the media circus that is surrounding this, "scandal, " discourage you from voting. The vast majority of Americans see this for what it is and we though disgusted with Foley and what he did understand what is at stake in this election and will vote on the issues and not scandals as the left would have us believe. Scandals do not win or lose elections. Issues determine elections and allowing the Dems to take over the House by not voting will have diar consequences for the war , our taxes, our economy and the President as a Democrat led House bogs down the White House attempting to unjustifiably impeach Bush for retrobution of what they still believe were stolen 2000 and 2004 elections. The flak from Foley will fade soon and remember that most voters do not even pay attention more than two weeks before any election. Don't stay home every vote counts!

Republicans should not be discouraged to vote - I say vote this November. However, the idea that Dems knew about Foley and held on to the info is not accurate.

There is a serious question of who knows what and when they knew it. You wonder about ABC? Maybe you should ask why the FBI did not investigate. The Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sent the DOJ a letter requesting an FBI investigation of Foley back in July. Alberto Gonzales did nothing - I guess he was too busy worrying about how to justify torture to investigate a Republican member of Congress.

One thing is for sure, for good or for bad, sex sells, and that will keep this story in the headlines for a couple of weeks. If the Republican leadership knew and did nothing - we wil find out.

Child molester?

I have not seen any accusations of molestation. Sleaze ball, yes. Deserves to be banished and shunned, yes. Called a molester, no.

Now that it has came out that the IM's may have been a prank, and that the page was 18, where are all the Dems calling for the re-instatement of Foley? Why are they not praising his bravery in coming out of the closet and demanding apologies from all the conservatives that called him sleazy?

Do the world a favor and look back at Americas history recently declassified after being buried for over 60 years and unreported in the media and is not available in print. American fascists paid for 300-400,000 storm troopers for adolf hitler to destabilize the German government long before the start of WWII. When the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of the Army went into the offices of Standard Oil now Exxon and told them to stop selling gasoline to the nazis their response was that America be nice to Standard Oil and informed them that they were the suppliers of Americas war time fuel as well. Guess whose family profited the most from WWII-Bush. The Duponts had tried to recruit General Smedley Butler to over throw President Roosevelt, provided more than $ 3 million in funding and had their subsidiary Remington ready to provide the arms. At the time the media was pro nazi Germany and reported the facts as absurd to play down the attempt. There was huge nazi support from American corporations. The number of American corporate leaders that supported adolf hitler and the nazis is amazing. The republican party, the G.O.P. worked hand in hand with the nazi's inside America to battle Roosevelts left leaning agenda. You really must research it on your own before slamming me. I guarantee you, you will be disgusted. This is probably the single biggest insight into the core of what you call the republican party. Foley's folley's are just an indicator of behavior that is common place in politics.

A practical joke? JR, you want to reinstate Foley? It wasn't just one page - there were many pages all of whom were underage.

Holy cow, have you actually even read the IM transcripts? I don't know of any normal person who thinks 50 year old men sending sexually explicit and suggestive IMs to 16 year boys is normal or a practical joke. Foley has been pulling this B.S. for years - if you think that is a practical joke, you are as sick as Foley.

No Rob, I do not want to reinstate Foley. Actually I would like to see Barny Frank (a man who allowed a call girl operation to be run by his gay lover out of his home) quit also.

Foley is gone and good riddance. It just amuses me at the intellectual dishonesty of the left in this matter.

What is intellectually dishonest about wanting a pedophile who is hunting underage pages to be removed? Nothing.

Franks is gay, he is not a pedophile. He did not commit any crime. That is why he stayed in Congress and voters chose to re-elect him. That is called democracy.

I love how the GOP instantly points the 'smelly' finger away from themselves when caught with their collective pants down. You are a group of greedy corrupt murderous motherfuckers and will be ousted in November. The sad thing about this scandal is that like usual there is no accountability and it ignores the number of innocent women and children that this administration has not only disregarded but actually slaughtered in their pathetic war against everything!

What intellectual dishonesty from the left? We acknowledge our failings. But we don't pretend that two wrongs make a right (although it does make you rightwing.)
