Good.

Now if anyone from hastert's office is lurking, it's time to reveal the Democart's involved and the fact they have a "List" circulating that they hope will prove Christians are "homophobic drooling bigots" so they'll stay home and not vote.

And how about if he "takes full responsibility"?

Aargh!

He's not resigning; He told CBS2CHICAGO that those who are calling for his head are playing right into the Rats' hands.

I'd like to see Hastert publically ask the Democrats what they are hiding.


Pelosi and Emannuel refuse to take a polygraph test over the Foley mess.

Pelosi has also refused to make a sworn affidavit

How about just do the right thing and resign?

Why? It's perfectly legal for a homosexual man to mount a 16 year old boy. 16 is the legal age of consent. The democrats made sure of it.

If Hastert kicked him out for being "gay", he'd be charged with a sexual discrimination law suit.
If you're appalled by all this, maybe you should be demanding a democrats head to roll. They wrote the laws that protect the homosexual predator, not the Republicans.

Hope he turns the tables. Do you really want the FBI monitoring instant messages without a warrant? You can't get a warrant because someone asks a boy for his picture.

Good grief, no gay perv in Congress is going to stop me from voting for my good Conservative Congressman.

The Commie-Vampire coup attempt will get no help from me.

All this Oprah-like sacrifice talk sounds sissified to the max.

Maybe he'll present some of the mounting evidence that this bidness is all about ABC News laying down a pre-election slime trail for the Democrats.

I am thinking we will find out soon that the "IM transcripts" are all foney as $3 dollar bills. Foley was vulnerable because of the e-mails and being gay and is now somehow being blackmailed.

He didn't know about the explicit IMs.

Of course he didn't. After learning of the creepy and inappropriate emails, Hastert did absolutely nothing. How can you expect him to discover the IMs?

Doing nothing about the emails is why Hastert is in trouble with moral values Republicans.

Hastert ain't resigning.

He is a graduate of the Illinois political machine that produced Rostenkowski, Daley, and Ryan.

The guy knows how to play the game, trust me, this is a counteroffensive here.

If Hastert resigns, the election is over--it's an admission of wrongdoing.

BUT--he won't resign, because he didn't do anything wrong--sorry, those e-mails were creepy but certainly not actionable.

On the other hand, if Hastert is good and pissed about this situation, as he should be, and comes out fighting the way George Allen SHOULD have when HE was smeared, this could be what completely demolishes the Dems' hopes this year.

"I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. [shouting] You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell,[shouting]'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it:[screaming at the top of his lungs] "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" -- Network by Paddy Chayefsky

Does anybody know the story of his future? I heard that he was planning on retiring after the next term anyways before all this nonsense broke. Is that still the plan here?

Huh? Because ABC lied Hastert should resign? Because a gay congressman had a cyber-affair with an 18 year old man Hastert should resign? I don't think so.
