"Did Democrats Page Mark Foley?" - THE DEMS DID IT !!!!
Editorial from Investors.com:

"Right after Mark Foley was revealed to have had inappropriate e-mail conversations with a 16-year-old page, he resigned and checked into rehab. Now, what did Democrats know, and when did they know it?

Yes, you read that right: the Democrats. It's of course clear that Foley, a Republican representative from Florida, resigned for good cause. We don't defend him or his inexcusable behavior — good riddance.

But it didn't take long at all after Foley's resignation for the Democrats to call for an investigation of the entire Republican leadership in the House, charging that GOP stalwarts knew early on that Foley, as they like to say in the rehab business, had a "problem." "
:wtf:

The rest is here:

2. Two Democrats who had sex with consenting adults?
And that makes them the hypocrites in this case?

The author of the article seems to be missing one BIG point. Foley was exploiting under age CHILDREN.

3. Ahh - NEVER let the facts get in the way of a good story
I've been trying to find out more about the guy behind the website - big-time investor so probably a BIG GOP donor.

5. gotta love it when they turn on each other
So, these guys want to pin the blame entirely on the Democrats, while various other conservatives are demanding the repub leadership resign. I guess the Washington Times is now part of the liberal mainstream media!!

8. I love the smell of desperation in the morning
You smell that? You smell that?

Scandal, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.

I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

You know, one time we had an impeachment, for over a year, and when it was all over, I walked up.

They didn't find one of them, not one stinking broken law.

But that smell, you know, that desperation smell...the whole congress.

Smells like...victory.

Someday this war's gonna end.

11. Interesting insight into what they
are thinking this am...

Pedophilia is a crime and should be punishable no matter who is perpetrating it. Republican or DEM. I don't know about the guy from MA in 1983 other than a thought that his surname was certainly unfortunate. But if what he says is true, he should have been removed from office and charges filed against him too. And other than that - I don't see that Frank and Clinton's actions apply to this situation at all as it involved consenting adults ... so, that must be the spin they will take on this.

According to this "logic" sex is BAD across the board, even if its between consenting adults.

Blurring the distinction between adult sex and predatory sex with a minor won't help their cause.
