Politics & Government - 4 October 2006

Now Republicans are saying they should get rid of the "Page" program. How about holding some law makers accountable for their actions instead of punishing people with a interest in government? All their supporters can do is try and put the focus on the Democrats. This is not something that happened as a result of Dems. This is from the front page of CNN today.

Report: Hastert's office warned about Foley two years ago

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A senior congressional aide said Wednesday that he alerted House Speaker Dennis Hastert's office two years ago about worrisome conduct by former Rep. Mark Foley with teenage pages.

Kirk Fordham told The Associated Press that when he was told about Foley's inappropriate behavior toward pages, he had "more than one conversation with senior staff at the highest level of the House of Representatives asking them to intervene."

This report is continued at the following address:

Here's what they're doing as of yesterday. Drudge,Rush, House speaker Hastert and other neocons are trying desperately to find any link that suggests that some democrats knew about Foley's sick behavior and just now leaked it to the press so that they lose elections this Nov.! Worst than that, FOX fake news is now repeating that many feel that democrats had something to do with it and this morning it gets worst! They put a picture of Foley up with the wrong info, labeling him as a democrat from Florida running for re-election!!! OMG, these freaks are shameless liars! Believe me, they will keep repeating these lies and get the southern voters to vote for them again! That's how they get voted in, by repeating false information and ignorant contituents buy it all. Shameful neocons!

I ask many questions intended to gauge peoples feeling on a particular subject. Occasionally I will include inflamatory phrases and in those cases I expect to be attacked but when I ask a poilite question, even if the question is not pc, why not just answer it without the attacks?

clude american citizens was removed during this Foley scandall and school shooting .He passed it and now any american can be detained without charges or the right to a trial .What happened to my wonderful america under bush .
I am realy worried about where this will lead america in the near future .
This was the beginning of book burnings and witch trials and the inquesition and the crusades and hitlers germany .The power of the state to detain anyone places fear in the hearts of free men when no charges need to be filed and no system for release is available .ANyone can go to jail now who opposes the government .please call the news channels papers and tell everyone you know that this is the beggining of the end to americas freedom .

Dropping Knowledge claims to be "a non-profit initiative that encourages open dialogue", yet many of their questions have a strong liberal slant. How is that open dialogue?

Example: Why is it socially acceptable to hoard wealth while so many go without basic needs?

So people don't work hard and earn money, they "hoard wealth."

I
....sign on the main road through town, at first papers said he would get wreckless homicide and aggravated dui, and all this, but now the charges are only, accident resulting in death, which is only a class 4 felony and just a regular dui, he had just gotten out of prison 3 weeks before, and now is serving the rest of his sentenced parole, but all the charges on the court case file, says not guilty and dismissed with leave to refile, what does this mean? Does this mean that after he gets out of prison he will have to go to court on this or is this ****** gettin off scott free???
The sad thing is his brother got killed just 4 years ago by a drunk driver also! And after that his mom got into MADD and was a strong advocate for it.
