Rep. Mark Foley drops out of race [Fox: also resigned]

[Lunatic Fringe]

Just breaking on CNN

[Irish Eyes]

Awww Geezzzz, ....I can't believe that I did not recognize the name. Thanks for the picture. I must be having a senior moment or two.

[Fawn]

I just added MAF54 to my AOL buddy list....LOL. He's not on.

It would seem that the GOP would go for name recognition to replace Foley. Will McBride, a conservative who ran in the primaries against Katherine Harris and is now supporting her, would be a great replacement IMO. He has the money and good backing to run and the experience of being a congressman would be a great help for his future in politics.

You'll have to work at catching up. Some of us have hundreds. A day.

[wimpycat]

Yep!

Ever since I first saw him, I wondered about which side his bread was buttered on.

You have to be a real sicko to solicit teens on the internet (unless you're a teen yourself), but to be a public figure and stand up for family values and protecting children from predators AND solicit teens on the internet, KNOWING your private life is never really private and you're BOUND to have your hypocrisy exposed just boggles my mind. I guess for the pervs it's an addiction, like junkies and alcoholics who won't stop even when they lose their jobs, their homes, their health, even when it destroys their families, even when they wind up with absolutely nothing.

My IMs in gmail are stored in chat, a seperate folder like inbox, sent items, etc. Mine goes back to May, which is when my husband signed up for gmail and we started using chat.

But let's have some consistency here. You know darn well that the only reason people wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt was that R next to his name. That R does not guarantee anything and we need to quit pretending it does.

It appears that they can field a replacement, but Foley's name will remain on the ballot:

[spectre]

[mom4kittys]

Thanks for the info

[Fawn]

Good point. I probably just registered myself on some FBI list.

[jdm]

If he ever gets on again, can you ask him if I can have some Target half-off pants coupons? /sarc

[spectre]

I don't believe that. I certainly have criticized plenty of "R"s..

But you can't deny the dirty Rats are usually out for blood right before an election, can you?

I think we have decent people on here, who needed more proof of explicit email other than "what do you want for your birthday"?...

So now we have it..and it is sad, sick, and a crying shame..OK?

Torie....

I skimmed the first 100 post but saw no mention of Fox whose name appears in the Title....

Who the hell is Fox? If you can tell me I'd appreciate it...

[conservative in nyc]

Who the hell is Fox?

Fox News. CNN first broke the story.

"Proving the maxim yet again that to lose an election, an incumbent needs to be caught in bed with a dead woman or a live boy."





Good thing Teddy doesn't own a water bed.

"Who the hell is Fox? If you can tell me I'd appreciate it..."

I believe they are referring to fox news being the source (rather than cnn which most folks here have a major problem with regarding reliability).

[Fawn]

Where are these emails posted? I'm a little afraid of reading them....but some posts would probably make sense to me. I'm keeping him on my list....want to see if he has the guts to get back on.
