Reply #8: See the sad thing is....

I feel this is all being misdirected...This scandal isn't about being GAY or being GAY in DC, or hiding the fact that you are GAY in DC...it's about pedophilia...it's about misusing a position of TRUST and POWER over others, UNDERAGE others...to do them harm....it's about ABUSE damn it...and ABUSE of TRUST...
so WHY is this being turned into an outing party?

Look, I can understand GAYS being sick and tired of those hiding in gov't that knowingly help hurt their cause, either with their silence, or with help in passing bills against them...and I personally don't know/understand how they could be a party to it...I do get it...I just don't get why the IMPORTANCE of this whole story about the pages is being lost...and why anyone would play a part in undermining it, or helping muddle it...

IF this turns into a witch hunt...it is going to HURT others...and not the ones that need to be hurt by this scandal...Those less than honorable GOVERNMENT SERVENTS that abused their power...the ones people sent their UNDERAGE kids to serve in DC...Is it possible this guy thinks that the closeted gays in DC were in on it all along??? Just because you're gay, doesn't mean you're a pervert who goes after kids....he does his own kind a great disservice, if he is insinutating that, w/o knowing for a fact, it's true...

Do we think there are NO gay Democrats??? How horrible is this going to get before it's over...??? I begin to wonder, IF the R's didn't sacrifice one of their own, Foley...in order to get the Democratic gays outed/targeted...because we can bet our asses, that if someone starts outing the Rep gays....it is going to end up being tit for tat...let's hope we are above the fray on this...and not involved in any of the abuse of pages...for myself...I don't like this...I don't like the feeling it's giving me...
