THE GOP SOLUTION TO THE FOLEY SCANDAL: KILL THE PAGE PROGRAM

Call for moratorium on page program

LaHood called the congressional page program "an antiquated system."

"My idea is, let's suspend it, send the pages home and have some scholarly people in Washington really evaluate the program and bring it into the 21st century," he told CNN.


HEY SCUMBAGS! How about ARRESTING THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP to keep the Pages SAFE!

4. That's the same solution taken by the guy in the Amish schoolhouse.
He decided to do away with the temptation. Because it was the girls' fault he wanted to molest them.

7. They don't trust themselves
and we don't trust them either. Get rid of the republicans and keep the pages.

10. It's funny how we are tagged with not having any plans, yet the GOP always
seems to have an Ax out when it comes to problems. Hey, Katrina was a bungle? Well let's further liquidate FEMA. Public education doesn't work? Let's outsource education to profit driven corporations. Hey, Congressmen can't keep their hands off of the pages? Hey, let's just get rid of a program that allows young people to get started in a life of public service. Gas prices are killing the economy? Heck, just shrug our shoulders and claim we are all victims of the "free market". Terrorism got ya down? Heck, it was all Clinton's fault!

Where and when exactly does the GOP EVER have a plan? Anytime there's a problem, they run and hide and point fingers. I never hear any kind of plan from them about anything. The GOP simply doesn't have a clue about how to govern let alone solve a problem.
