Geez, can you stop being a broken record for even two seconds?

It does get old after awhile doesn't it? Either some folks are just dense or the trolls have come out for October.

He just became unelectable with the revelation so perhaps he did one for the party. maybe not. However, closeted people they have been known to do a bunch of other stuff and maybe he needed to run away and hide?

"A posting on ABCNEWS.COM of an unredacted instant message sessions between Rep. Mark Foley and a former congressional page has exposed the identity of the now 21 year-old accuser."

Watch the MSM try to spin this quicker than a ball of yarn.

[italianquaker]

He will still win either way

"But I don't trust this blogger because if he were honorable, he wouldn't be so blatantly exposing a victim without concrete evidence and without at least trying to find out the other side of the story."


He left his phone number with Isstooks office, and asked that the young man call him about the story. He stated that the blog published his findings before he told them it was ok to post it.

In the case of this apparent manufactured story, this man had to have been involved in saving and then releasing these IM's just before the election. If he indeed was 18 (and he was for most of the IM's), he is no longer a victim, but he is a "participant"! To quote Mr. Spock, "THE NEEDS OF THE MANY OUT WEIGH THE NEEDS OF THE FEW"!

So, if this is true, what we have is basically a guy's career ruined because he was hitting on a page (i.e., intern, clearly inappropriate conduct). Hmm... why does this sound familiar? All it's lacking is an actual sexual act, known in some parts now as a "lewinski".

Are the dems merely going horrified by his actions because he's GAY??????? (rhetorical question).

Hello,

Back, briefly, a 3rd grader needs me, that would be Mr. MOguy, Jr.

This is too funny, though. And for those here, posting or lurking, that think the DBM can get away with this, once it falls apart, ask yourself: How well did Rather do on those FAKE documents? Aren't we supposed to have a different President? Yeah, that worked out real well for them...

Glad to be here, back later, MOgirl

This is just one of the guys; this is not the guy from the southeast. KEEP THAT IN MIND.

Who in the right mind would now wade into the middle of this firstorm? I think this is now ABCs own little Rathergate about to unravel.

So the earlier (while Jordan was underage) IM's weren't sexual? Just overly friendly?

[jwparkerjr]

So far so good!

But I suspect when it comes to compulsive behavior the degree of morality doesn't figure into the equation.

We have a LOT to learn about this sort of apparent inability of some people to overcome urges.

Another Fake-but-Accurate story brought to you by the drive-by media.

"Clinton had phone sex in the oval ofice numerous times with Monica and HE DIDN'T resign."

Now THAT'S creepy!

Just had a thought...Maybe Clinton knew this whole thing was about to break which would, of course, bring up all the old Clinton/Monica oral sex, cigars, etc...

Perhaps that's why he was a little "edgy" with Chris Wallace?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

I'm watchin it..

[wouldntbprudent]

And actually the discussion of being underage could be portrayed as the parties being conscious of the law and of trying to obey it.

He left his phone number with Isstooks office, and asked that the young man call him about the story. He stated that the blog published his findings before he told them it was ok to post it.

Have you used blogger? I have. He would have had to publisht the page.

Thanks for the info.

I heard the Hewitt interview with Tony Perkins. Hewitt ate him alive and showed Perkins to be quite ignorant really. Perkins was just jumping on some bandwagon he didn't quite understand, probably to help benefit off what he incorrectly perceived would be a conservative backlask over Foley. He probably figured it would bring in some extra bucks to the Family Research Council. Anyway, it was clear Perkins wasn't prepared to go up against the far more intelligent Hugh Hewitt. He really didn't seem to know what he believed. He seemed to just be contradicting himself.

"If the guy was 18 then this story is dead."

If the guy was 18 then the Dem's have done a hatchet job on two gay men in a consenting relationship further they have destroyed two gay people's lives for a naked power grab. I can't wait to see how this works out for the Dims.

Regardless, Foley should have been run out of town on a rail. And he essentially was. None of the rotten Dims have been. What a contrast between the parties.
