Another ( sexual) domino falls

Also, would there have been more (hard to imagine any more), or less, "outrage" and coverage from the media if the intern(s) had been young ladies?

He would have been viewed as a dirty old man..if his messages were in effect asking about their panties and getting them off.. yes I think there would have been outrage..

The age of consent in DC is 16.

What did Foley do that was wrong, exactly? Please explain from an enlightened liberal's perspective, like yours?

Republican hypocrisy, of course.

Republicans are gay-bashing, so of course it is hypocritical to have a Republican doing gay things with teenagers.

On the other hand, having a party that is nominally supportive of gay rights go on a gay witch hunt in the succeeding weeks against folks like Larry Craig is activity full of integrity, and not hypocritical whatsoever. I half expected some Democratic Senator to hold up a sheet of paper and claim he had the names of 57 known Republican gays in Congress.

GGA's incessant moral bloviating aside, what Foley did was create a serious "ick" factor among likely Republican voters, which Democrats were able to exploit for a while. It's politics.

How about using Congressional computers to woo under age male interns? sending sexually explicit emails using his govt computer. how about abusing his position of power? How about not acting like a Congressman?

Re: Clinton, I don't want to set off Bouton's auto-retort.

Regarding the other stuff; that's all well and good, but that's not the stuff they were talking about on CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC et al for 3 weeks! They talked about him preying on young men, and the cover-up of that!

He did nothing illegal per DC law.

"nothing illegal per DC law."

Typical radical right rabble defense. If it ain't illegal, it's OK for the Repugs.
Ethics, civility, propriety, fairness don't even get on the radar.

Like HS coaches ing legal players on their own teams,

Like HS teachers ing legal students in their classes.

Like any mentor ing their mentored, aka "proteges" (literally, "protected ones")

B, read the thread. You're taking this out of context.

I AM NOT DEFENDING FOLEY!!! I am wondering why the liberals didn't; trying to point out that, from a lefties point of view: he didn't do anything wrong;

WE EVEN HAVE AN EXAMPLE - they applauded the last guy (who happened to be a Democrat) who fell for male paiges, AND who actually CONSUMATED the deal!!!

It is obvious why the Democrats and Liberal Elite media did this: to foment phobia to dissuade conservative christians from turning out to vote.

I personally think Foley should be on Sexual Predator websites, and every stone should be overturned until we can find a reason to lock hiss ass up.

The Bible argument about immorality goes hand-in-hand with the "unnatural argument", which science has recently shot in the head by showing that sexual sex is actually rampant throughout the animal kingdom

The previous "scientific" studies i read proved that animals only gayed up when put in unnatural environs. Case in point. A lion is supposed to have X# of square feet (or miles) to himself. In other words in one large plot of acreage there is only supposed to be X# of lions. Mankind imposes himself on wildlife and forces their space to be much smaller then what it was intended. It was only then that some animals gayed up. When left with proper amount of acreage they always stayed male-female.

I do not know about this current study.

"Science" has also proclaimed to have shot down Creation. Yet the Evolution theory has so many holes its a joke. It takes more *faith* to believe in Ev then Creation. True science does support creation.

Do you have any idea what you just did to this thread?

Scary part...youre a majority.

More faith to believe in evolution?! Are you serious?!

Right, because our feeble minds couldnt possibly understand the need for change. No, we need it all bundled into one statement "God did it."

Im out this thread. Gay to Taliban to Foley to Clinton to ID to Evolution to My Exit.

uh oh!

Your first sentence there was grossly in error, and you went downhill from there.

That is completely and totally false. Both Studs and Frank were censured in front of the full House for their transgressions. The House Speaker at the time was Tip O'Neil. No one applauded anything, and at least the Democrats were willing to discipline their own, something sorely lacking in this crooked GOP Congress.

And with that exemplar of genuine frontier gibberish, Gabby Johnson, er xray is gone, having yet again avoided any substantive engagement with the issues.
