Reply #8: I'm With You On That...

[KharmaTrain]

The fact that most sexual predators are heterosexual is the fact that speaks for itself, but this is not reality, this is politics...in specific Repugnican politics...that have spent years and tons of money on demonizing gays...from ignoring the AIDs epedemic in the 80's and then saying it's "god's revenge" to the on-going efforts to prevent gays from adopting (the hidden reason is pedophilia).

To me this isn't a scandal about sex, but about hypocrisy...about the aphrodisiac of power and how the greed manifested itself in so many conflicts. I thank goodness that Foley wasn't a Democrat since the gay bashing would have been even louder and could have given traction to the GOOP who squeezed enough gay-bashing votes in 2004 to swing some key elections. My hopes are this scandal and its hypocrisy will subdue that vote enough for Democrats to win the House and then we start a new day and dialogue.

On the very first day the Foley scandal broke, I posted here my concerns that this story would go from one of predation (not pedophilia...cause we still don't have confirmed "physical contact") to gay bashing. But then how else could the GOOP recover from this? Especially since this is the party of total irresponsibility that needs to find a scapegoat for all of their shortcommings...enter gay bashing.
