Reply #70: Not the point [View All]

There is a huge difference between two teenagers having sex, and a creepy 55-year-old man who tries to convince minors to do something they're not ready to do. The fact that he was in a position of authority & power makes it even worse - there's a real risk of coercion or intimidation. Foley apparantly sent these creepy emails to many pages, over a long period of time. The Republicans knew enough to warn pages away from him (while not apparantly stopping him). This man was a sexual predator. That has zero to do w/teenagers' relationships, or two teenagers getting married, and I have no idea why people would try to compare the two.
