It is more than obvious that Hastert and others are crippled by the homosexual issues. Is it ok to confront a homosexual on his interest in boys and men? Are you risking being "branded " a homophobe Republican. Is it possible that political correctness brought the US Congress to this moment when it affects common sense decisions between right and wrong? There have been other homosexual congressmen that got into trouble with young males. Republican Bob Bauman of Maryland was arrested for soliciting a 16 year old male. He insisted he thought the male was older. Bauman had a wife and 4 kids. His constituents tossed him out the following election. The Democrat speaker back then did not go through what Hastert is going through today.
Bad news for the Lefties and MSM, you can't have it both ways! Either the House leadership ignored or didn't ignore Rep. Foley's penchant for comely pages. Having someone step forward and say that Foley was 'counseled' long before Hastert's office says they dealt with it the first time makes this a matter of how Foley was dealt with, not a matter of cover-up. Of course they will decry the gentle manner in which the situation was handled, but the truth is it was indeed addressed. Perhaps we could learn from the Democrats. Maybe they would be so kind as to point out an instance in which they dealt firmly and publicly with one of their members where 'everyone knew there was a problem."Well put. Of course, having it both ways (i.e., heads they win tails we lose) is an option for them, ordinarily, because of the partisan media shills. I guarantee that the DNC agitprop apparatus will be barking on the Sunday shows. Most media folks however have learned a bit from RatherGate.
What if the intern had been a girl of similar age? Much of this is because Democrats want to rack publies for homophobia. Most of the heat comes because of the gay angle. Ironic coming from the homophiliac party. Hastert is being damned for going light on a closeted gay Republican who evidentally did not go beyond virtual sex, while Barney Franks is among their leadership?
