Answer 1

A thoughtful question!
I'd almost go with men covering for men.

But on the other hand, Americans are finally seeing that absolute power corrupts.
Consider the Tom DeLay case.

For that matter, please go to the link and review all the scandals popping up in NEOCON-land!

It is a sad time in Republican politics.

Answer 2

It was a case of trying to protect their political fortunes. If the Republicans lose control of Congress in the upcoming mid-term elections, the nameless, faceless power brokers who control George W. Bush lose the opportunity to suck all that OIL out of Iraq's sands, and the military-industrial complex might see its multi-billion-dollar profits drop to 'unacceptable' levels.
This is the most corrupt, evil, incompetent, cowardly Congress in U.S. history, and the GOP doesn't want to lose control during this time of harvest for big business and the wealth elitists who pull George W. Bush's strings. These puppeteers are enjoying record profits, and they aren't about to give that up just because some demented Republican member of Congress has a predilection toward young boys. The GOP will do what it must do - kill thousands of people; rig elections; lie to the American public; jail and torture innocent citizens; or defend the wicked ways of some of its colleagues - to stay in power. -RKO-

Answer 3

The Republicans only had access to a few e-mails that had what could be considered possibly improper comments. If they had jumped on it, they would have been accused of "gay bashing."

The instant messages that contained the really sexual conversations were not disclosed until they came out on the news. Since this happened so close to the election, I'd have to say that the most-likely scenario is that some Democrat sat on them (allowing these children to be abused for three more years) while waiting to release the messages in order to throw the election.

Answer 4

Yes it was yet another Republican cover-up. Dennis Hastert, the speaker of the house knew about this a year ago, and brought it to the attention of the Dick Cheney.

Dick Cheney told Dennis Hastert to keep it under his hat. He said that if they fired Mark Foley the Democrats would accuse them of being anti-gay.

Funny though. This is not an issue of gay-ness. This is an issue of pedophylia.

Answer 5

Its definitely possible. The only way we will know is if there is an INDEPENDANT investigation. I dont think the GOP could stand that kind of scrutiny before the mid-terms.

Answer 6

Those instant messages were a couple of years old. SOMEONE had them. I would like to know who. And why they were supressed. And why they came out now.
