I can't either, it's driving me nuts.

[ladyinred]

I think he did it as well, and he needed to go. The point is, they knew he was a closet gay and they set him up for a fall to gain a political advantage.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I disagree.

I think this is the time to fight.I posted this last night on another thread and will post it here.:

I am jumping in here (trying so hard to catch up). Not ranting at you, just ranting in general, LOL!

As far as I am concerned Foley's situation is irrelevant at this moment, except it was the match that lit the dynamite.

Foley is gay (Not a surprise and who cares?) As I stated earlier I do not care who he sleeps with as long as it is a consenting adult.

I have more important things to deal with in my life to waste time worrying about who he sleeps with.

He resigned when the emails came to light and rightly so.

He put himself in the position to be duped (if true) by the IM's to the 18 year old.

As far as the emails to the 16 year old are concerned, very inappropriate, but not illegal. As a parent, I do understand the request to have someone deal with it, and even understand the request that it go no further.

1. What parent would want to put their 16 year old son through this feeding frenzy

and

2. What else could be done? No law was broken. No sexual advances were made. If they wanted it to go further, based on what we know, they may very well have been told legally, there was nothing to be done. Hastert handled it.

The dems have done what the dems do best.

Remember the Rockefeller Memo? The dems framed the issue and the GOP was made the bad guy for what, looking at a computer screen that was not secured?

And that pesky Joe Wilson...they defined the issue.

I want it to stop once and for all.

The dems have defined the issue so well that 90% of voters probably think Foley molested a young boy/s.

I do not feel sorry for him as he did not use the judgement I would expect from an elected official. He did this to himself. The feds are involved and if Foley is guilty of anything more, it will be handled and he will pay a very heavy price..

The Foley aspect of this is over. I want to concentrate on what is important. Rooting out those in power who have used this as a power play in a covert attempt to influence federal elections comes to mind.

Lives are being affected. Our lives. My life. My husband's life. The lives of my sons and daughter-in-law. The life of my 10 month old grandson.

Imagine the next 2 years with the dems in power.

We are fighting a war like none other and all they will want to do is investigate/impeach the President.

Once again we will be trying to make nice with terrorists instead of trying to kill them before they kill us. Taxes will go up. Gas prices will skyrocket. We will have Shumer, Conyers, Leahy, Kennedy at al in our faces 24/7 setting the agenda.....Bubba and Hillary (BLECH!!!!)

SOROS WILL HAVE WON!!!!

I want voters to organize like never before to get that stupid CFR overturned so the media is not driving the election issues each and every election cycle.

/rant over :-)

The time has come to put a stop to this. Once and for all.

Sounds good. The way that is done is by volunteering your time and money in vulnerable GOP districts and kill the Dems where it counts.

[SolomoninSouthDakota]

"It's almost like they want to coin a correlation to the adage that the cover up is worse than the deed. In their case, the set up is worse than the deed."

Brilliant thinking. The set up is the truly interesting and important aspect of this story, not the nonexistent cover up. It's a set up; not a cover up.

[justa-hairyape]

Her message to the pages sounds a little "overly friendly" to me. ;-)

Actually, a very good point. Let us explore that other possibility. What if the book idea, (note - I was not quoting the phrase Book Project verbatim), was utilized as a hook to get information from the pages. Kinda like, wow we want to do a book on you pages. It could make a lot of money. We just need some juicy details to spike sales. Do you pages have any juicy details ? That would correlate well with the way she was 'dancing a jig' trying to explain why the book was not done yet. She was also saving the chapter with intern details for last. Because, according to her, it was the more difficult chapter to write and required a lot of work. Imagine that, the mother of a gay page working for Nancy Pelosi is writing a book and needs juicy details from pages. Should call this 'Nanny Gate' perhaps.

"Imagine that, the mother of a gay page working for Nancy Pelosi is writing a book and needs juicy details from pages."

Why do we all have such suspicious natures here? I'm sure that she just wanted to know what their favorite appropriations bill looks like..... :^)

Seriously, though, this sounds like it could be the motherlode, so to speak.... can anyone here get word to the FBI that they need to subpoena all this woman's notes and drafts on the lives of the House pages????

The book may have been just a theoretical construct to play the pages for info. Not an investigator myself. All I know is when I see Pelosi demand the speaker resign and then two days later there is an AP story out describing what she would do on her first 100 minutes as Majority Speaker and it appears now that she was central to the House Page Scandal, we have some very large dots that can be easily connected here.

[Dinah Lord]

For some reason I keep thinking of how obsessed the country was with Chandra Levy (God rest her soul) and Gary Condit in the run up to September 11.

After 9/11 the whole business pretty much faded from view.

Call me crazy but I'm thinking we're in that same mindset again and it kind of scares me. Just sayin'.

[longtermmemmory]

Pelosi should recuse herself from discussing the selection of the specital investigator.

She will be called to testify.

Well Pelosi be forced to take the 5th?

Is the House going to show the senate how it is done RIGHT?

The house is far more blood lusty thant the pansy senate.

CHRISTOPHER KATSAROS is a sophomore at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. He grew up in Los Altos Hills, CA--just outside of San Francisco. Christopher served his junior year of High School working as a Congressional Page by appointment of Nancy Pelosi, currently the Democratic House Leader. In addition to politics, Chris also enjoys shopping, artichokes, the sun and summer in general. Next semester, Christopher will be going to Dakar, Senegal, where he will go to school and work for an NGO (as well as doing some work with the Peace Corps).

Recently, conservatives across the country have criticized amnesty proposals for undocumented workers, saying that we should not be rewarding lawbreakers. They have even gone so far as stipulating punishments to churches and nonprofits who knowingly aid them. All too quickly they make unfounded judgments on a whole group of people, while, for the most part, they have never even met a single undocumented worker. If they took out just a few minutes from their busy lives of curtailing churches’ ability to provide aid and actually walked in the boots of some of America’s hardest workers—the undocumented ones—they might join the rest of the country in agreeing that amnesty is really the least we can offer. =====end excertps===== WHAT A FLAMING LEFT WIND LUNATIC!!!!!! This is the contact for Pelosi's office? Was he part of the Foley Capitol Hill bath house?

Of course "he did it", if you refer to sending perverted IM's to a person perpetrating a smear campaign.
He did not have sex or even the "non-sex" we have seen in the Oval office.
He resigned because he knows he is portrayed in a bad light, regardless of the fact he didn't commit a crime.
I find it hard to believe that this was a hoax since the Page in question never would have spoken if that Oklahoman blogger didn't "out" him. I find it unforgivable that this little punk would try to bring false criminal charges upon someone as long as he remained in the dark.
Foley is guilty of being a gay man, and worse, a gay republican...*gasp*
Hastert is completely exonerated as these facts come to light. He followed up sufficiently on evidence that did not implicate the need for an investigation, so says the FBI.
The PAGE, Jordan Edmunds is the only one who committed a CRIME in this matter!
That's why he hired this high-powered Def. Attorney.

[Stultis]

The multiple kids involved here were 16 and 17 when they became pages, which is when Foley initiated these communications.

Yes. But that was the "overly friendly" emails. The sexually explicit instant messages were exchanged with a former page who was then 18 years old. Inappropriate, even contemptible? Yes. But he WAS an adult. What do you think the press reaction would be to the same story if the politician had a "D" behind his name?

Putting it together is the right title for that, lol.

It's not finished, he's very loose legged, lol.

[devolve]

It's impossible to make Kerry look awkward and strange.....

[potlatch]

You're right, we need to have a football coming at him or something and he would really look like Kerry in action!
