I'm so sick of radical Left-Wing liberal Clinton-ites spewing bulls**t lies and propaganda... I can't wait to see the Republicans landside victory of the elections

It's only been 2 days but I'm already sick of this story. For one, I have faith that law enforcement will take care of this issue that doesn't affect my life at all. Secondly, I'm not too worried about "our children" when they're 16 year old boys. Most boys are already drinking and driving by the time they're 16--not exactly the most vulnerable victims. My 16 year old self could kick my own ass today. Thirdly, what's going on in Iraq, or the warning Condi got on Sept. 10th, 2001 about Al Queda? All I hear on the news is this lame one-off sex scandal... this is the kind of story for Dateline.

Foley is the same kind of sick individual as the guy who "dreamed" of molesting kids and decided to shoot up an Amish school in Pennsylvania, and yet the Republicans will try and spin this as "Wah, the Democrats are out to get us! They're just politicizing 9/1-- er, Foley's 'alcoholism'! Wah!"If the roles were reversed and it was a majority Democrat they'd want to string him up and let him rot. Why not for one of their own?

Speaking of Tom Reynolds, check out his recent use of children as human shields in front of reporters to avoid Foley questions: <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/politics/NRCC_Head_uses_small_children_as_props_to_avoid_Foley_questions">http://digg.com/politics/NRCC_Head_uses_small_children_as_props_to_avoid_Foley_questions</a>

So he is a pedophile because of alcohol, when he is not drunk he hits on women?WTF?Ok, let's see how THAT plays out to the sheeple base.

The sad thing is that I agree. I bet the Republicans will win in the end. This can possibly mean two things:Either a majority of people Have no problem closing their eyes on pedophilia.Either Diebold is doing a hell of a job for the Republicans.

Check out these side by side photos of Denny Hastert and Cardinal Bernard Law. The picture tells the story, but the blog article fills in the details about leaders protecting pedophiles in their organization.<a class="user" href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/10/1/92456/8536">http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/10/1/92456/8536</a>
