Pelosi- Statement on Hastert's Comments Regarding Foley Matter

[Monkeyman]

"Speaker Hastert again failed to answer the question that every mother and fater in America is Asking: how could Republican Leaders choose partisan politics over protecting childern?"

"Republican Leaders admitted to knowing about Mr. Foley's abhorrent behavior for six months to a year and failed to protect childern in their trust. Republican Leaders must be investigated by the Ethics Committee and immediatly questioned under oath."

1. I WANT TO KNOW

Who knew and when!!!

We have a right to know who would protect a pedophile over children!

:grr:

3. I assume from all this that protecting child predators is part of

the Republican Party's PLATFORM.

2. Damned straight! This is passed politics - these are kids we're

talking about. And the thing that really gets to me and makes me wonder what we are looking at, here, is this: these are Republican kids and most Republicans (except for a few) seem to think more about the politics of this horrid mess than about their own children...

4. Get out the big bludgeon

This is one to rear back and swing from heels on. Good statement, Ms. Pelosi.

5. For the repugs, politics trumps EVERYTHING ELSE.

And from the top down.
