Likewise child-abuse victims. And I presume the gay community is groaning in disgust that he's now claiming to be one of them, thereby lending ammunition to those wrong-headed thinkers who regard homosexuality the same way they regard pedophiles.

No one believes alcohol made him do it. Even conservative Joe Scarborough who served in the House with Foley says he never saw Foley drunk.
His behavior does reflect poorly on child abuse victims. Most do not go on to abuse others, yet they suffer this stigma. Foley has just revived their pain. And, a jury isn't going to look more kindly on a former victim who has turned into a perpetrator.

Alcoholics? No, no change there. But I bet the homosexuals that are always complaining of stereotyping molesters as homosexuals are having a conniption right now.

Uh, he IS a homosexual. And seducing 16 y.o.s is NOT pedophilia.
And, yes, I did hear that Ted and Patrick Kennedy had complained about the bad name Foley is giving to drunks.

it isn't major what I or all and sundry else thinks--it quite is the shape to get critiques from polls and such. what's major is what the regulation states. If he violated any regulation of the city or district or ideal jurisdiction, the legal authorities could rightfully take acceptable action to convey expenses. would not count number what you or i imagine about it, the regulation is the regulation till replaced.

Alcoholics usually give themselves a bad name. Foley is homosexual; although that's not why he would cross a line that should not be crossed by anyone.

Ask the Demorats. They are the ones who have promoted perversion for all these years. Now, they are using the results of their efforts to try to win an election? They don't care about the country, just their own *sses.
