Yeah, something is beginning to smell about Foley's Follies, making 3-day old fish smell like roses in comparison.

The MKJ theory:

The DUmmies, Kosomites, and other radical left 'Rats and their fellow travelers had this information on Foley for a a long time, and they attempted to let it ooze into the news with this absurd blog gambit, which all leads to the 'Rat attempt at their own lil 'October Surprise'.

The most disgusting part of this business, beyond Foley's perversions, is how the above 'Rats (whoever they may be, and may they soon be revealed) thought it more important to save up this information to exploit politically at the most opportune time for them, leaving minors at risk in the meantime.

McCain calls for independent investigation

There were signs of concern among Republicans, as well. Sen. John McCain of Arizona called for a group of former senators and others to investigate how the House handled the affair.

"We need to move forward quickly and we need to reach conclusions and recommendations about who is responsible," McCain said during a campaign speech for Sen. Lincoln Chafee in Rhode Island. "I think it needs to be addressed by people who are credible."

McPain isn't helping.......

Remember this paragraph from the column The new 'Republicans vote on Wednesday' game?

But the pretend-conservative act is being carried onto a whole new playing field, one that has become wildly influential over the past few years and one that does not stand to be instantly recognized as a fake. That playing field is the blogosphere, which is then used in conjunction with massive e-mailings to “spread the word” (as one e-mailer insisted I do to my readers/e-mail list) to other conservatives.

The concept is the same: the blog or e-mail claims, first, that the said writer has been a conservative for years and that they have “had it with Republicans.” They then point to an issue that conservatives would likely be upset about such as excessive spending, immigration, or the expansion of government. Their supposed rage over the issue has convinced them to either not show up to vote in 2006, or, in order to really show Republicans, vote for the Democrat instead.

The blogs and e-mails are convincing in their wording and could incite the sort of reaction that occurred following the Harriet Miers nomination to the Supreme Court. Of course, any liberal could read Free Republic and find out what’s irritating conservatives this week, grab a handful of phrases, and toss it on their “I’m a conservative but voting for a Democratic because of (insert issue here)” blog. After tossing in a few posts about the evils of Hillary Clinton and abortion, the blog is now being run by a bona-fide “conservative.” A few e-mails and link connections later, the message of conservatives voting against Republicans is spread.

The premise is that a blog is established in order to generate credibility, and then that credibility is used to attack Republicans. In this case, the blog was supposed to be for "concerned citizens" to report sexual predators. Then the smear appears on the blog, and the blog is then passed to the MSM as "news."

What makes you believe that the RATS that were sitting on this will soon be revealed? If it turns out that RATS WERE sitting on this news, so they could time it out, or leak it, for their own political advantage in the coming election. I believe they would also have to resign any positions of leadership they now have.

Yeah. I linked to it early this AM. Check the tail end of the morst recent DUFU thread. I am getting a creepy feeling that the author of this Blog is someone we both know of a sordid bent.

Foley's behavior was bizarre and reprehensible. We don't need to defend what he did. Whether he actually attempted to have sexual contact with this or any other page, we don't know.

It's obvious the Foley scandal, though based on real events, is a typical Democrat political operation. The news media knows this but don't care. By the time the whole scheme is unraveled and exposed the election will be over. Also, in the public's mind, Foley's behavior will negatively eclipse the Democrat sleazy tactics. If Foley had one decent fiber left in his whole body he would put a bullet in his head.

Where in the name of God did you see THAT asserted?

This has nothing to do with Foley's behavior. What is has to do with is the fact that some democrats had prior knowledge of exactly what Foley was doing, and kept it secret for months, at least, in order to maximize the political fallout. That, in itself, is a crime. Not to mention morally bankrupt.

Someone needs to tell McLoser there is already a FBI investigation going on

What does he want .. Congress to investigate themselves??
