A lot of people who are voting aren’t really taking this event into account though, from some online polls I have seen.

ya i guess you’re right about the resigning thing, but they are really going at Hastert, not just because of his knowing, but his high seat. Something like this happening for the speaker of the house is horrible for his reputation.

Yes we have..but all the evidence points to those being released to the press and CREW and not Congress. I am more than happy that Foley resigned, he should have…

You guys are only talking about the emails, have you read the IM messages between him and the page. Those are way way worse than the emails. I agree that the emails aren’t really bad, but those IM’s are just sick. Read those before you start siding with Foley on anything. That is why he resigned after all this stuff was published!

As of now, we know CREW has had the letter since May 2006

October Surprise

Tutti continuavano ad aspettare un dirty trick di Karl Rove in vista delle elezioni di novembre. Ma questa volta la “sorpresa” potrebbe fare molto male ai Repubblicani. Un deputato della Florida, Mark Foley, si è dovuto dimettere dopo che l’FBI ha a…

3- T.T. what we do know that the Republican leadership thought they were dealing with was seemingly minor emails that were nothing to label a person a pedophile over. It was CREW that had the e-mails that were graphic, and imo, could lead to charges. These e-mails were leaked to a Democratic blog and the story broke wide open…

Are you serious about the timing and CREW? If we are dealing with a pedophile, time is of the essence:roll: How would holding the info for months keep Foley away from kids?:roll: But that isn’t how CREW saw it. They released them to coincide with the election..

Peejz,
Perhaps I missed it but where is it stated how long CREW had the info before this release? What we do know is that the republican “leadership” sat on their hands for almost a year until the story got blown wide open by ABC and CREW. We do know the republican “leadership” failed to inform the democrats of the concerns over Foley. Is your attempt to implicate CREW in Predatorgate a way to lesson the failure of Hastert and gang for their shenanigans in not dealing with Foley for almost a year? Does the “timing” of CREWs release matter at all if it gets one more pedohile away from children? I thought Republicans were the party of “family values”? You should be assailing your party’s failures in this, not CREW.

Based on the fact that Hassert may not have been given the e-mails that the press has. Why would an organization such as CREW sit on it for as long as they did? Are they not in the business of cleaning up Washington? Did it not matter to them that this kid was alledgedly being harassed or did they time it for the elections and screw the kid?

How can you deny that the GOP leadership tried to cover this up? This all happened last year. Why is this just getting public now? Don’t tell me the investigation took this long.

Hastert should have demanded immediate answers. If a colleague informs me of a matter that was “overly friendly” or “inappropriate”, those should be red flags for demanding a more complete and expeditious assessment of what happened. And I would want the official word IN MY HANDS.

Reynolds should be on the hot seat, and so should Hastert. Foley is a bad apple, but the reaction by the GOP establishment is reflective of an old country club mentality. They are as corrupt today as the DNC machine they ousted in 1994.

As an old-fashioned God-and-country Reagan conservative, I am outraged that the GOP has chosen to coddle such perversions. All true blue conservatives are right to demand better from the GOP.
