1. I've been reading the same thing on the conservative boards
Limbaugh said something similar. They know how to get their talking points in line.

7. We're going to have to use the word "pedophile" repeatedly...
...since they apparently can't make the distinction between a consenting relationship with an adult and hitting on teenage boys.

Pedophile, pedophile, pedophile. Republicans are pedophiles.

35. I'm beginning to get the creepy feeling that these folks think that sex
with the kiddies is just fine, and so they DON'T make the distinction.

Maybe the entire Republican Party has this as an underlying belief. How to explain it otherwise?

5. .
And they surely know how to divert from the age issue...it's also kind of strange to talk about "honorable" in this case when I remember this AIM-conversation he had with the kid. People should be ashamed to look for excuses for Foley.

49. This has gone stright to the
Ministry of Turd Polishing, to be spun into at the very least a condemnation of Dem morals (See what Clinton has wrought) and at what honorable men (repukniks) do when they get caught with their hands in their trousers talking to adolescent boys.

43. GMTA - The CRIMES that BuSh* & his RW cabal have committed are FAR more
horrendous then Clinton's whose only "crime" was lying to cover up a BJ with an ADULT.

If Bush, Cheney, Rummy, RW Congress Reps, etc were truly honorable human beings they'd admit that they screwed upm admit that they were WRONG, admit that they LIED and ALL step-down for the sake of our United States of America. Instead they keep compounding the crimes, lies and horse puckey. :grr:

not a crime. Do they not know the difference.

9. Do they NOT get it?? There's a BIG difference between two
consenting adults (in case of Clinton) and a powerful Congressman (Foley) preying on a minor.

They cannot see the difference? Sad.

It's just that (pedophile) they're hoping that the (pedophile) people will conflate the (pedophile) two cases.

Pedophile pedophile pedophile.

Are you suggesting that those who are supporting the pedophile Foley indirectly approve the acts of pedophiles and maybe had pedophile thoughts deep down in their pedophile approving mind? That's horrible!

12. Foley didn't exactly "step down"...
If his "sins" have been known by the Rethug leadership for a year, then why didn't he step down a year ago?

Moreover, not only did he not step down right away, but his republican bosses have kept it covered up for him... like cat shit in a litter box.

Just shows you how stupid Rethug "followers" really are! :puke:

Unlike Clinton - this situation did not involve a mass cover-up on the part of Democrats.

Unlike Clinton - this situation will not involve an expensive Republican investigation.

36. So Going After 16 Year Old Boys Is Conseusal?
I've heard those calls as well and it's amazing how these immoral goons attempt to even connect the two. And then they try to make it seem like Democrats not just condoned Clinton's infidelties but encouraged it. Sheesh. The gaul of these hypocrites to be that desperate.

The end game here is one of the last bastions of Repugnican "moral authority" was torn to shreads with this resignation. Remember, this is a party that not only hates sex but sex offenders (or so they claim). Let's see how the "leadership" deals with the sticky wicket of explaining why they covered up Foley's problem and then kept him on as a chairman of a committee dealing with children and in the overall leadership. This is just as damning as what Foley did.

One more game they'll be playing and that's bringing up the Gerry Stubbs...the Mass. Dem. who was censured for his affair with a male page. But lost in their "indignation" was a Repugnican was also censured at that time...Daniel Crane...a Repugnican who was caught in corpus delecti with a female intern.

This has been one hell of a week for the Grand Old Perverts.

47. Ooops....Ya Mean He Got Caught?
Seems like the corporate media has tried to spin this that someone Foley stood up and resigned on his own out of some magnanimous act. The Freepers are claiming "at least he resigned, and Clinton didn't". Well, if Clinton were caught propositioning young boys, you better believe Democrats would have called for his head just as loud as Repugnicans.

The corporate double standard here will soon become obvious. In 2001, the media couldn't get enough of Gary Condit and all but destroyed the man's life. They not only houneded him out of office, but kept on him afterwards. Will we see a similar treatment of Foley? Will they even have the balls to dig further and find out if there are more pedophile incidents in Mr. Foley's past? I've got a bright shiny dime that says we'll find out, but it won't be through the corporate media...it will come out here on the blogs.

52. That must be why Newtie stepped down...
and Giuliani, and Henry "Homewrecker" Hyde. It's why Strom Thurmond gracefully stepped down because his conscience simply wouldn't allow him to continue with the burden of knowing that he had an illegitimate black daughter at the same time that he was promoting racist policies. It's why Limbaugh has resigned in shame from his radio show.

Oh wait a minute. I must have been dreaming.:eyes:
