It is time to call for Hastert's resignation

Hastert not only covered up for and protected a man he knew was illegally soliciting teenage boys online, but he allowed that man to sit as the Chairman of the House Caucus for Missing and Exploited Children. There were other Republicans who knew as well, and everyone of them needs to resign to.

They went after Clinton for doing something which would have been perfectly legal had they not been putting him under oath and forcing him to testify about matters which were of no relevance to the case at hand in the first place.

What Foley did and Hastert helped cover up was clearly illegal. Democrats listen up, these are the people who are preaching to us constantly about our morals while allowing a man to sit on a House caucus who was soliciting young boys. As a member of Congress Foley was a very powerful person, and no doubt the boys he was talking to knew that. That makes his crime even worse.

The Democrats need to be loud about this, Dennis Hastert needs to resign.

I want to hear every Republican asked if they can defend Hastert's covering up for Foley, and they need to be asked whether they think Hastert should resign as well.

If they want to lecture us about our values then they better be able to explain their own.
