Foley's IMs: A Stark Contrast

Amid revelations that former Congressman Foley engaged in Internet sex and possibly real time meetings for drinks and whatever with underage male pages, speaking at an elementary school President Bush today denounced Foley's behavior as disgusting.

Not all that long ago, a sitting President had sexual relations with a female intern less than three years older than the Pages in question today ... and the response was to teach young adults that oral sex wasn't really sex at all.

Anyone thinking a return to Democrat leadership in the Congress is even remotely a good idea is out to lunch. And as Gateway Pundit follows up on today, this is very much a Democrat campaign strategy and has been for some time.

They shared this information with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. They held on to the information for over a year. They wrote about how they would break the story at midterm elections.

Dumbass, Monica was a 22 yo college graduate not a 16 year old high school student. Big difference in the world of predators

I believe Dan is just trying to say this is political not concern for pages...If there was real concern form the Dems they should have release this info to the press months ago.

Anyone who thinks this isn't a hit job...I have some nice swamp land for sale.

While Foley's actions are horrid and most likely illegal...this is still a hit job.

It takes two to IM. I question the timing.

Why aren't more people inside and outside of Washington calling for the page program to be abolished?
Underage boys and girls around horny old men and women is not a good idea. Plus simply being underage and working in Washington, D.C. is not a good idea. How much more has gone on we have never heard about?

Timing and political gain have nothing to do with the fact that Mr. Foley was preying on underage children. This is a congressman who is writing and voting on laws that govern our country. He disguised himself as a children's protection advocate. The Dems might have picked an opportune time to leak the info, but it does not change what Mr. Foley has been doing for years. Quit whining about the Dems pointing out the Republicans shotcomings! (I am Rep, by the way)
