And profit from that knowledge. People knew.

Ps - isn't Hastert the one who tried to cover up Foley's crimes?

This is just sickening.

Remember, he wanted his job, so DeLay would rat him out in a second.

1) He truly didn't know.

2) Hastert had ethics dirt on DeLay, which seems likely for sure.

if it feels good is not always wise.

It took perverts to pervert this system. This is the kind of stuff that's inside of them.

Corruption inside and out.

The Daily Kos recently dug up a statement in which Hastert said that given Clinton's
"inability to abide by the law, the Constitution and my conscience have all led me to
the solemn conclusion that impeachment articles must be passed."

I'm old enough to remember Hastert, Newt, Henry Hyde, Bob Livingston, and that drug addicted
pedophile Rush Limbaugh's joy in impeaching Bill Clinton over a blow job even though they all had
their personal "baggage."

...need to be slapped in the face with this. And those who weren't born yet, need to have this hammered home until they GET IT.

Bill Clinton is not perfect. Hillary Clinton is not perfect. NONE OF US ARE.

But what the Republicans do is LIE, TWIST, and DESTROY any Democrat who looks like they might change the system that so benefits the utterly corrupt GOP.

I hate them, and I never say that lightly.

... neighbor was the county DA and his brother was Governor of PA. He was a good
guy who played with us kids and he worked for education, infrastructure, the environment,
civil rights, unions, and the good of the people. His name was Ray Shafer and he was
a republican too. He would have no home in the GOP today.


Hastert was going after Clinton and hurting our chances of getting bin Laden w/all his
baggage?

.... republicans. Now it is Cruz, Trump, Gohmert, Palin, Rick Synder, and so on and they
are not worthy of cleaning Ike's toliet.

Gingrich et al basically destroyed their own party, created this monster. We need both parties to play it straight for the government to function, and from the moment Reagan sneered that the most feared words in the English language were "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you," we were introduced to a self fulfilling prophecy that led to the drowning of New Orleans. In a two party system, when one of the parties does not even believe in having a federal government, we are all screwed.

Although Karma isn't done with him.

...I say with sarcasm.

this is why those assholes are so obsessed with sexual misconduct in bathrooms or consensual adult homosexual relationships. They can't stop thinking about it. Conservative republicans are often deeply repressed and hiding something.

that turn into abusive predators?

my guess is something about needing power.....sick bastard

It's a crime of power, predation, opportunity (and they make their opportunities), and compulsion. It transcends country, culture, and religion, or lack of religion. Often, but not always, they themselves were once abused. The harm lasts a lifetime.

Those of us who have survived this have sought for answers that are seldom there, but that much we know.

i do wonder if conservstive religious upbringing makes it more difficult for those needing help to reach out and get it before they start acting on their impulses.

healing energy to you

Then he has a decent chance that his crimes will be ignored or downplayed. The Cologne police for one, I am sure, will say nothing happened. Swedish officials would probably look the other way as well.

What a scumbag.

Oh, look.... another sex offender in the ranks...

Hassert was in charge of freshman . He also brought a lazy boy to in front of the boys shower and would watch as they bath.
Liked to massage injuries then grab their junk . Took part in camp overs too.
Trying to avoid prison time now altogether although he has avoided pedo charges for decades wtf

Child molesters don't stop

Maybe he worked his age preference up to congress pages, like Foley

or there is more, almost certainly.

in this difficult time?"

How was this jackass ever allowed to rise in our government?

These abusive dominant types are in many locales

Penn State sure had one, as well as some
Catholic priest perps

One wonders how many are never caught, or if there
are varying degrees of abusers, some go over the edge,
some tie up their spouses with verbal or physical abuse

Very sad

Are they born this way, or poorly socialized, or abused themselves?

How do they come to view themselves as these superior entitled beings?

I'm thinking of Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" - the super human being
above the law and contributing his superior ideas to society and
therefore entitled to commit crimes. It really is an arrogance beyond
salvation.
