Wow it must have taken you all day to find that information, funny how you didn't post one on Democrats. You just proved my point Hypocrite..
Everything the Republicans have ever screwed up (which is just about everything they have ever done) is the fault of either Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter. Just ask Ann Coulter.
Oh feronia. Never eat as you read these forums. Unless it's plain crackers and water. That tends to stay down.
I thought the Tony Blankley piece in the Washington Times was a good step in defining how Republicans should deal with this crisis.
The Ann Coulter stuff reminds me of a 5 year old being scolded and responding by telling everyone that there are other kids causing bigger problems and wait and until you hear about them. It's a totally irresponsible approach to accepting any sort of accountability.

Total agreement from this American Republican.
Good post.

Elected officials from the major parties actually serving in government posts are spending way too much time.... fighting....
It is pre-election and everyone becomes either a pundit or gladiator, but I find it an oppressing time when the worst in humanity comes out and people work so very hard on damning the "other side" in order to impress the public.
The pundits become purveyors of pap and puke. Accusations fly so fast, nobody has time to check their veracity or honesty. And we think contact sports have become dangerous and ugly! They have nothing on the damage done during that month of hell before an election.
An honorable occupation being a politician - having the trust of people to give you a great job for which you get paid for life even after your are no longer voting on bills and measures - but it is a job in which your primary concern should be "for the good of the nation and its population"....
I see little of that going on here. The people also see ... and remember. There is nothing so pitiful as a failed politician.

Foley was one of the congressmen responsible for preventing this kind of thing. It's like putting Ted Stevens in charge of the internet.
Oh wait...
Oh wait...
I am so glad that up here in Canada our politicians are so much better. If we catch a politician messing with kids we make them the leader of the opposition. Bill Graham allegedly has a thing for underage prostitutes. There was an interview with a child prostitute in a Toronto gay magazine named "fab". This former child prostitute,Lawrence Metherel,says that he was Graham's boy toy for years. It seems everyone in the Liberals know about this,but turn a blind eye. Soon,Graham will be voting on the age of consent bill.In the past he has always voted against raising the age.In liberal circles that is rewarded,it's called voting your "conscience"
Much as I think Bill Graham is a scumbag I will not believe he has a thing for young prostitutes until there's evidence a stain on a blue dress perhaps?
Niee research, and good work.
It is well known that those who are violently against homosexual, are mostly frustrated homosexual themselves, who will never do their coming out,instead they will be the ones who are publicly seen as anti-homosexual, that is the case with peoples like in texas, peoples in the Army, people in the police etccc etccc,and then those crimes against teenagers are comitted by those same peoples .
Republicans/conservatives are probably the most homosexual party in the world, same for evangelical , but at the same time, they are violently aagianst them.
Lets look at the situation before us, yes there have been Democrat sex scandals in the past. That doesn't matter democrats scandals are supposed to be about sex, and Republican scandals should involve money, and theft. When they cross over and a Republican is involved in a sex scandal that is not forgivable.
It is starting to look like the Republicans, some high ranking ones knew about Foley as far back as 2003, and did nothing. Basically the Democrats didn't withold anything they just made a dirty little Republican secret very public. A dirty little secret the Republicans tried to cover up.
Not since watergate has the Republican Party been so damaged and to think the extreme right, didn't even know there were gays in the administration.
Oh what a joke this whole thing is and it looks good on these, people who believed things would be different. Bush couldn't be too happy Sunday morning poll results show he's at 33% even the born agains right is leaving him behind.

That has got to be the most shallow perception I've seen from smug outsiders yet.
Stereotypical.
Cheap.
A rush ot lopsided judgement when an equally long list can be made of Canadian politicians or
of American Democrats.
As if some nationality or group was morally better than another !!!

The answer could be he's not in jail because he never went to meet any of these people he was messaging with. If you watched Dateline's Predator sting, they only arrested those who went to meet the young girl not those who were just talking and never went further than that..
