KEEP SAYING IT: THE GOP PROTECTED A SEX OFFENDER
The GOP KNEW Foley, someone who should be considered a CHILD SEX OFFENDER, but allowed him to continue in his position, with privileges including CONTACT with underage pages who he illegally sought contact with.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE and the GOP basically did the same thing the CATHOLIC CHURCH did when they covered up for the priests who committed sexual abuse of the young boys in the parishes.

This story will continue to be the topic of discussion RIGHT UP TO THE ELECTION.

3. This tells us how far the Repukes will go and
what they are willing to over look in order to hold in to a seat. Another nail in the coffin for them. Bye-Bye!

5. Keep pounding on the subject.

This is an area where the democrats really need to "Dumb down' their message. Just keep pressing the issue with something like:

"Our kids deserve better than these hypocritical Republicans"...

And underneath the attack ad show a picture of Mark Foley resigning over the underage sex scandal.

While I'll agree that this won't develop a better understanding of more complex issues remember we have to compete with an unabashably corrupt GOP campaign. THEY will say anything to win and have pretty much mastered the art of taking advantage of stupid voters.

So keep it simple:

GOP = Corrupt perverts.

8. They always have been, but now it is painfully clear to all
that they can not be trusted with the powers they've been given.
