- oddmanout, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16how come when it was Jefferson, they raided his office and took his computer right away. Now its Foley, and they have his word that he won't delete anything? wtf is up with that?
the differences i see are:
republican/democrat
white/black
florida/louisiana
sex crimes/financial crimes
i don't know... I'm not saying any of these are the reasons, but it seems odd they'd give him so much time to get rid of evidence.... he knows he's caught. - plyadigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Seems like the new Republican party is truly the party of sex, whether its FU&$ING the environment, military personnel, foreign governments, American people or underage boys the Republicans holds the record. I wonder if this will bring any condemnation form the Jerry Fallwells and other mega churches that allowed bush steal the election. Killing 3,000 of Americas bravest and 130,000 innocent Iraqis sure did not. I wonder if Jesus is still a Republican, or if he ever was? Now the Lush Lobotomites (Rush Limbaugh) & Drudges are blaiming the under age boys for receiving the emails and IMs. Have they no shame. Do not try and tell me they are doing this with no direction from the White House and Rove. Rove is pulling the strings and slinging as much mud as he can to cover their tracks. Sad thing is most Americans will swallow it hook line and sinker.
Shame on those who stand behind faith to support perverted ends and power for powers sake. - MYarms, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10What's even scarier is that this scumbag will probably buy his way out of trouble.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10i'm betting on suicide before that happns
- Stonedonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10As long as he's in rehab for alcohol abuse, they can't get to him very easily (for a deposition or just some routine questioning). How utterly coincidental.
They would have packed him off to the Moon if they could. - EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Do you understand the difference between Pedophilia and Homosexuality? I don't think you do.
Hint: children can't consent to sex.
Hint: women abuse boys, men abuse girls, etc..
Hint: that thing on your arm is your elbow, the thing near your neck is your anus. - whiskeymb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9well, I guess that throws out the "gray" area of his actions not being technically illegal.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7This guy listens to Rush for all his education on homosexuality...
poor bastard - amoirae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6As an unpaid arm of the RNC, Fox News junkies and Freepers like to come here and digg everyone down who they disagree with en masse.
Pathetic.
They come here and use the same victim tactics they have in every other venue and behave as if they've ALWAYS been here.
I had no idea Luddites had any other interest in technology than destroying it. - hotsake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6@mikegre,
Homosexuality and pedophilia are not the same thing. - deputydink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Of course, with the midterm elections around the corner, and one of the Republicans most outspoken Child Safety advocates under investigation for soliciting sex from minors, what else could they do?
- hotsake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I agree. I'd be just as angry had this been a Democrat. Never is it correct to allow such a case to slip by unnoticed, even if political power is at stake.
- pseudojd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5'suicide'... = Bahamas...
- EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The Jefferson thing is easy enough to ascribe to a power standoff, not so much race or party. Congresspeople don't want to be subject to DOJ searches period. Who knows what they'll find?
- ashooner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yeah, now that he is such a liability to the republicans, I just wonder what kind of treatment he's getting at that clinic.
images of jack nicholson at the end of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest comes to mind - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The sad part is that Child and family services down here in florida were contacted along with notice to Governer Bush and Charlie Crist... and because of Political pressure none of the 3 did anything.
This really puts a black eye on many current lawmakers, and not just on Capital Hill. Sad day for America when a child is overlooked for political reasons. - goffy59, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No! but most republicans don't give a ***** about anyone but themselves. They will vote for other republicans and wont even listen to the other side. They just want power and money and that's all they ever care about, this is why they cover up a lot of these republicans that molest children, Why isn't he in jail yet? They can catch other people and immediately throw them in jail but not a politician? Do politicians have more rights them me? Whys that??
- hotsake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Heh...
Was just browsing unrelated news on CNN when I see this at the top of the page:
"Breaking News>> 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."
As to the validity of the claim, I guess we'll wait and see. - sosborne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They still haven't confiscated his PC? WTF!
- amoirae, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4You mean in the same way that the RNC does?
The RNC has molested more candidates than Foley could dream of in a vacation to Bangkok. - bigturns, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Red, today, trumps Blue my brother. A government without checks and balance serves only those who are in power. Vote Democrat this coming November. Let’s put an end to unchecked power.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I agree, what's Paris Hilton been up to?
- amoirae, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4It isn't like the young flesh he desired would be available to him for free.
Will all those zealots who talk about prostitution as if it was the worst thing make apologies for Foley as some of them are minimizing his predatory e-mails?
Not only was he scarred by being molested and forced at gun point to love the taste of scotch(which lead to his love of crotch), but the Jews forced him to learn how to bargain shop for prostitutes in a way that he became addicted. It was like he was at Filene's basement sale on the rampage for a wedding dress. - oddmanout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i'm totally democrat, but if democrats get too powerful, i'll vote red just to keep the blue in check. This is why a 3+ party system is needed.
- bigturns, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The age of consent in DC may be 16 but the possibility of CP on Foley's PC could put the man in jail for a long fricken time. Such a find would open this thing up so wide Rush, O-really and all the other paid apologist will find themselves without spin.
- bigturns, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They could have dealt with the issue years ago. That's what they could have done. Politics, F politics! This is flat out elected public officials deceiving the very same voters who have put them in office by protecting a pedophile.
- gwolf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is how you know the Republicans are full of *****. Their first instincts were to conceal what this Ped was doing and the children be damned. If they had an ounce of integrity they should have been the first ones to say “somebody get a rope”. All they care about is their own political and financial fortunes and all their rhetoric are just what they have to say to get them. If America was 25% Al-Qaeda they would be spouting “death to the infidel” rhetoric to get their votes.
- Yez70, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2It depends on where he solicited it from actually.
The legal age of consent in DC is 16 - not 18. - gothsquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4But Christians like him are against suicide
- mikegre, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Democrats who see nothing suspicious about homosexual men who want to be scoutmasters are now claiming that the Speaker of the House should resign because he ignored the “red flags” and failed to initiate an inquisition into Foley’s sexual practices. Their blatant hypocrisy is as transparent as their lust for political advantage.
- marklj, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Am I the only one getting tired of the barrage of Foley articles? He's a pervert and a pedophile so lets just spit him out of society and move on with some NEW news.
