Well, I guess it's safe to say this seat is up in the air.

hard to tell what was really going on from that. At the very least his emails seem inappropriate.

Normally, I'd say it was no big deal. But the fact that he resigned immediately heightens the suspicion.

Wasn't the boy 16? Thats not paedophilia, well not in the UK anyway. It was pretty fucking stupid though.

Foley's aides initially blamed Democratic rival Tim Mahoney and Democrats with attempting to smear the congressman before the election.

How can they blame someone else when there was ample evidence that Foley himself was the one being the perv and getting caught?
He's a hypocrite in every sense of the word.

I am glad he resigned, especially since he was a crusader for the cause.

But let's note some things he did not do.

He did not smear his accusers.

He did not pull a Cynthia McKinney.

He did not wait for a conviction ala William Jefferson.

He did not try to stay in the race to keep the seat, ala this Menedez clown who will most likely be pulled at the last minute ala Torricelli and Lautenberg so that that seat can be saved for the Democrats. Lastly, the celebatory tone here from Democrats having picked up a seat speaks volumes.

Also, the coming forward at this time smells like the attack on George Allen and the leaking of wire taps in the Pirro race, an obvious felony, reminding one of the Bush DUI charges and how Democrats prefer to pick up seats, with attacks, not ideas.

He didn't say that, he resigned. What his aides say is ancillary at best.

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

Does it bother anyone that Webb used to take a gun into town to scare niggers (That comes from a reliable source and why he tarred every single Virginian as having used the word at least once in their lifetime.) and that the people who claimed Allen used that word are recanting when pressed?

I didn't think so...

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

The rule in politics is never get caught with a dead girl or a live boy...

Another Allen charge, that of stuffing a deer's head into a black family's mailbox has been denied by local Law Enforcment and the local NAACP.

I heard him today; he is not a racist and helped at least one black judge to be the first ever in his position as one of his first acts as a Senator, while Webb didn;t give up taunting blacks until he got his ass caught and kicked. Serves him right!

Not to mention, he was a Republican until asked to run by the Democrats...

Must have gotten a recommendation from Senator Byrd another guy who used the n-word and got a pass.

I'd love to see Ollie's read on Foley. I truly would.

He did not smear his accusers. How can he when he was caught red-handed?? lmao

Coming forward after what...10-11 months?? lol
Please. Don't even try.

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

When you state it that way, yes. When you state it from the POV of his aides, no.

Words mean things.

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

All my references refer to what they did when caught...

Hypocrite? Nope. He's a deeply disturbed man. Hence my desire to hear what Ollie has to say on the subject.

Foley's going to be hung with the very laws he pushed through. I have no problem with that at all. But I am curious about people that actively do things that are against their own self interest.

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

Remember what Clinton did when he got caught violating the law he pushed through?



THAT'S a hypocrite!

There is that, isn't there?

Q: How can you tell if a politician is lying?

A: His lips are moving.

All of you from Earth are idiots.

Is that two republicans stepping down today?

LovingTongue's gonna have a big stiffy.

It's ephebophilia, but hardly anyone uses that word.

Well done, I learned a new word today. Thanks.

 

[Hooper_X]

So... ah who's going to chair the missing and exploited children's caucus now, John Mark Karr?

 

[Hooper_X]

Yeah, I get to bust that one on someone's unsuspecting ass every couple of years.
