Florida Republican Rep. Mark Foley resigned from Congress on Friday in the wake of questions about e-mails he wrote a former male page, according to a congressional official. Foley apparently sent the e-mails in August 2005, when the male page was 16 years old. GOP sources say Foley is concerned there may be other potential politically damaging e-mails or information out there.

What turn of events I thought Republicans were immune from being gay? Were they not healed by Pat and Jerry. What next Republicans wanting to have same sex marriages?

ABC News reported Friday that Foley also engaged in a series of sexually explicit instant messages with current and former teenage male pages. In one message, ABC said, Foley wrote to one page: "Do I make you a little horny?"
In another message, Foley wrote, "You in your boxers, too? ... Well, strip down and get naked."
Foley, as chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, had introduced legislation in July to protect children from exploitation by adults over the Internet. He also sponsored other legislation designed to protect minors from abuse and neglect.
"We track library books better than we do sexual predators," Foley has said.
Foley was a member of the Republican leadership, serving as a deputy whip. He also was a member of the House Ways and Means Committee.

It's republicans and pedophiles/pedophelia--sorta like two things that just go together. They both are clueless as to why they do what they do, yet they both feel they are absolutely righteous in the eyes of the lord. Amazing. Just think of it as the Dems just gained one more seat in the legislature---and yes--that's good!!

It is their needle in the haystack.
Just because the dems would have shagged the page doesn't mean the reps did.....so far the allegations are inappropriate emails.
