Well , if you are a politician, EVERYTHING takes a back seat to consolidating your own power.
If that means abetting a predator in your midst in order to maintain a majority? Oh well.
Party politics is a game decent men are not qualified to play.
It's sure looking that way, isn't it?
I guess I expect that from politicians. I'm a bit taken aback that there are those here who are defending it, tacitly or otherwise.
I do not support your position.
The EMAILS are are NOT THE SAME as the instant messages.
The emails were inocuous. Those are what the house had access to. ALL his house emails are stored and cataloged.
The instant messages were only revealed a two days ago. (three now). Foley has resigned and now disappeared.
The MSM is not hunting him down. WHERE IS FOLEY NOW?
If this was about power they would have just kept foley and spun "no controlling legal authority" or said the im's were fakes blah blah blah, ala bill clinton.
The fact is that there was no trial, there was not protracted "investigation". The ADULTS of the house leaders simply accepted Foley's resignation even before he wrote it.
Part of the problem here is that we have been getting a few Trolls looking to obscure the facts.
Democrats can't attack foley directly because the democrat party is the party of homosexuals and protecting the now exposed conduct of foley is part and parcel of their party's positions.
