Is this a Republican one can be proud of?

Question

ABC News reported Friday that Republican Foley also engaged in a series of sexually explicit instant messages with current and former male pages. In one message, ABC said, Foley wrote to one page: "Do I make you a little horny?"

In another message, Republican Foley wrote, "You in your boxers, too? ... Well, strip down and get relaxed."

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.

And he once accused the Supreme Court of "siding with pedophiles over children." However, Bush stated Foley is still his best friend.

Answer 1

I think Mark Foley is a typical republican-repressed and rallying against the very things they secretly want to do!
They are so afraid to just be themselves and when they see people who are accepting of themselves and others it fills them with anxiety and envy so they try to pass laws governing people's personal lives.

Answer 2

No he is not and pages are not all adults some are under the age of 16 different high school across the country send kids there for 1 to 2 weeks to be a page and that is some of the people he made remarks too the creep ya I just bet bush is his best friend the nut job he proudly sending him emails dirty little ones

Answer 3

Typical of Republicans...They bash everyone who doesn't agree with them and call them Anti-American or Unpatriotic, then they go out and commit all the things they accuse everyone else of doing.

You see all the Republican - Conservatives here on Yahoo Answers, bashing everything Clinton did, bashing all Liberals and yet they can't explain away the unlawful things the members of their own Party are doing!

I will admit, I was a Republican until 2000...that is when I finally got disgusted with the Party... then I switched to The Democratic Party. Though I might not agree with everything that The Democrats are doing, I find them to be the only choice, to turn this Country around!

The Republican Party has lost the good faith type of spirit, they use to have. It is now filled with people who hate anyone who disagrees with them. That to me, is what's Anti-American!

Now go ahead Republicans...give my answer the thumbs down.

It won't hurt me like your Party has hurt America!

Answer 4

i'm proud at the same time as the competition makes up thoughts about our chief, generating fake records and the media devour it up, without checking the info. or, at the same time as the competition can no longer even get make up a narrative employing fictional info that make experience, consisting of one poster right here who suggested, "He died at the same time as CBS changed into in his abode to interview him Age 29. He had cancer and it changed into clinically determined through the military docs seventy 8 years in the past yet they did not cope with it" i wager our military docs are somewhat sturdy, they were waiting to locate a maximum cancers 40 9 years earlier the guy changed into born!!! i'm proud at the same time as the competition somewhat exhibits how they sense about our troops through calling them slave exertions, no longer making an allowance for that all of them volunteered to be there. And makes comments about our authorities removing clinical help, after we've actually considered an boost in vet care spending and it changed into The DEMOCRATS that cut back any funding for our military, or tried to. i'm proud at the same time as the competition tries to assert that our liberties are being infringed upon, yet any invoice made regulation changed into done so in a DEMOCRATIC run Congress . also, can not instruct precisely what component of The structure changed into being violated (because it isn't). Oh and significant different and toddlers wiretapping, a favourite device of Bobby Kennedy, A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. i'm no longer a republican, yet i will do my suitable to shop the Democrats out of power, till they somewhat characterize u . s . a . of america.

Answer 5

This is an unfair analogy, and you know it. The Republican platform has no correlation to deviancy. If you were TRULY trying to be objective, you would reiterate the word Democrat with every phrase in expounding the fifty dirty (not to mention dumb) Dems there are for every Republican one. The question is obviously loaded: no one can be proud of a pedophile. But to make it a Republican issue, as if it represents the opposition-- pristine and exemplary-- is laughable.
Bush was in all likelihood blindsided by sudden knowledge of someone of whom he had every reason to believe was a friend. And what sort of fair-weather, fickle 'friend' can instantly ceases to care about someone he/she cared about because they did something wrong? Does a person suddenly stop loving his/her spouse or child if he gets into trouble? Just jettison him because he is no longer of any personal use to oneself? Is that even friendship, or pure, selfish usury? Of COURSE you don't condone the actions, and you don't defend them. I don't see Bush doing that. No one does, because he's not defending wrong behavior.
Having said that, I believe both parties need to take just as loud a stand for right and wrong when one of their own errs, as they do when a member of the opposing party does-- it's the only way to be credible. The hypocrisy of jumping on a finger-pointing bandwagon has not gotten us anywhere so far; when will we learn? If you simply keep doing what you know you yourself should do, you will ultimately have the defense of God Himself. You will neither have to defend yourself, nor be overly critical of others.

Answer 6

He is not what I would say a typical Republican but it just goes to show what I have said all along.. why do people get excited when they hear the name Senator.. or Congressman..or Judge this or that.. They (most of them) are all crooks and scoundrals. I never look up to them

Answer 7

It's funny how the liberals are viewed as the gay ones, and Bill Clinton has "latent homosexual tendencies" according to Ann Coulter.

You can be proud that he epitomizes hypocrisy amongst the Republican party.

Answer 8

Glad they found out before he got re-elected. And the Republicans tried to spin this off the liberal media bias and a Democratic witchhunt when it was just the emails. After the IM's came out, they had to shut up.

Answer 9

No he is not. Nor are any other men or women who exploit others for their sexual perversions.

Although this appears to have been between adults, it still is uncalled for in the work place, especially by a Congressman.

Answer 10

Maybe not but its still better than a democratic president smoking a cigar under an interns skirt. Actually, no you can't be proud of him but I had to throw the democrat comment in just to fight fire with fire. Really now wouldn't you question have been just as true if you had ask:

"Is this a POLITICIAN one can be proud of?"
"Is this a LEADER one can be proud of?"
"Is this a WHITE MAN one can be proud of?"
"Is this a HUMAN one can be proud of?"

See, all are just as true. Why do you always have to play the republican card.
