No/No

Ah, the wonderful priorities of the GOP leadership.

[MasterJedi]

Yes/No

[Speed of Sound]

No/No

Ah, the wonderful priorities of the GOP leadership.

Indeed. When theres a right they can steal, they move it straight to the top of the agenda, but one of thier own sexually assaults a page and suddenly Congress has better things to do.

[Democratic Hawk]

No/No

In the case of Schiavo, I don't think Congress had any business weighing in on an issue that was for the state of Florida to resolve

yes/no

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

No/No

The GOP should have exposed Foley as a homosexual a long time ago and should have financed a strong primary challenger

Homosexuals are part of the Dem base.  It's ironic that the GOP is facing a scandal involving one of them.

[Joe Republic]

No/No

I guess you weren't a fan of Jim Kolbe either?

Anyway, if you'll recall, The Democrats already had a gay-related scandal just two years ago.

[A18]

Uh, yeah. A 16-year-old is a 'little boy.'

Foley's actions were undoubtedly improper, but labeling this pedophilia represents near-comical overreaching of a sort more commonly associated with parody than sincere conversation.

Raunchy messages are hardly 'sexual assault.'

Isn't that his personal choice?

If Foley's contact was limited to adults, this would be very different. However, he had sexual banter (and perhaps quite a bit more) with underage kids. And yes, it's illegal thanks to a law written by one Rep. Foley.

Did Clinton write a law that it was illegal to get a blow job from a 23 year old?

Option 1

Ah, the wonderful priorities of the GOP leadership.

Yeah, you're tellin' me. When the Schiavo thing was happening, the GOP was all over it, using many hours of debate attempting to steal it from where it belonged, in Florida.

But, when New Orleans was drowning, then those idiots starting minding their own business.
