Moral integrity will NEVER be restored no matter what party is in the white house. Yes, Republicans stand on their moral intergrity. And happy day for Dems, it's just received a black eye.
Sex scandals will always rock politics. Just as they do with Hollywood, the music industry, and Wisteria Lane. Small town churches everyday are torn apart by a lack of moral integrity. Why is it so shocking to find it in the highest forms of government. It permiates our entire exsitance.
So instead of standing against it, Dems exploit it to their own agenda. Repubs shy away from it instead of facing it head on. What is the real answer?
I suggest that maybe it isn't a group to blame, but an individual. Just like George Michael can't lay off canabis, or Michael Jackson likes little boys. Product of society, I disagree. Product of themselves an no moral integrity.
I'm sick of seeing Foley's face on tv. He makes me sick. A black eye to the party, a black eye on America. But hey, it's a talking point....

You keep missing the point and thinking it is Foley.
It isn't.
Were his kind and their activities not covered up, his kind and their activiuties wouldn't be allowed to fester.
It wasn't that there were some pedophile preast. It was the fact that the Catholic Church participated in a cover-up of the fact that there were some pedophile priest that is so vulgar and damagimng.
A pedophile prest is abhorramt.
Covering up for a pedophile priest is abhorrant and inexcusable. It is sinful.
It's the cover-up that is what is wrong.

You keep wanting to change the point. I'll play your game as you spew nonsense about bible toting republicans. Keep calling names. It makes it a playground game. I will not play that one.
Let's address the coverup. Suppose Hastert knew. I don't know. I wasn't there. I can only go by what is said in the news, and it doesn't matter what channel you watch, NONE of it is truth, it's just news. What should Hastert's punishment be? I think if he says he is sorry and he won't do it again, it should suffice for the Democratic party.

Too bad you didn't have sex with that woman, Sally.
I know you wanted to.
No, I am not changing the subject. The subject was and is what is wrong with Congress letting a pedophile run free for over a decade.
Hassert, who is suppose to be in charge, did, acording to multiple sources, know it was going on and covered it up as a favor to and a favor of a Party loyal.
It isn't what will or won't suffice for the democratic party, as you claim, it is what will or won't suffice for "the people", the ones to whom the Constitution makes the Congress responsible, not the democratic party and certainly NOT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, for whose benifit Hassert has tried to hide the facts.
Note, Sally, "that woman" was a full grown fully mature fully legal woman fully allowed by law to make her own decisions about anthing, including sex.
That page was a child....legally, physically, mentally and completely, as were the other pages that are now coming into view as victims of Foley.
How many will eventually turn up that, had Hassert acted properly rather that covering-up, would never have been subjected to the chance of influence by Foley?
But then, you want to claim it was all just Foley and there is no responsibility that belongs to the House authorities. A very loyal Party position you are backing.

Or so you've been told by the Party propagancda machine...
Other than the fact that that woman had the full rights of any other adult female in this country, I make three points:
That woman propositioned him, not the other way around.
Nothing the two did was illegal.
Clinton does not now hold office and he that was over aqnd gone....the Foley matter is not.

Facts: Foley will be found guilty (sick fk) Repubs don't need to look for a scape goat on this one. Dems can stop looking for another sacrifice to the political Gods. What's up with homo politicians lately? Just the facts please.

Fact: So far, no one has found a law the "sick fk" has violated. I feel certyain they will, but it isn't obvious exactly how.
Many "sick fhs" need to be removed from society, if not entirely, at least so they couldn't influence the lesser educated and lesser astute. I might nominate Fat Rush the Doper well before Foley, since the evil he sporeads has done far greater harm to the nation that anything 1000 Foley's could do if protected forever by Party politics.
In the case of Foley, the future probably won't ever allow him the freedom to harm kids again, no matter if he gets away with this and doesn't go to jail, because it was brought out that he is what he is and he was being protected by the politics. The stigma sticks!
So, whoever did finally bring the activities of Foley to the light, thank you, from all of us.

the only problem i have with "Homo" politcians is when they are hypocrites...
as a matter of fact? that's about the only thing i can't stand about any politician...
poltician by definition means they are liars...
but when they say they represent one set of ideals and then practice another? i have a problem...
is Foley married? huh? what does she think about this? does he have KIDS? what do they think?
the other issue in politics that PIZZes me off is when a party makes open claims like the current batch of GOP power brokers did: that they intend to DESTROY the other party...
why?
because then we end up with a one-party democracy... that's the same thing they have in Iran...
the only difference? In Iran? they cater to the theocrats... here? they cater to the Corporations... so we are better off, but not much..

There is, of course, a specific name for a government that caters to corporations.
