maybe because he's gay? blame him, he's the one not "representing"
Isnt it an issue of a sexual deviant?

Foley has made it an issue by his conduct that has been noticed over the years but guess what the Republican leadership ignored the red flags. Now they can make it gay issue in hopes of using it November election. This time the Republicans are going to taste defeat no matter how they try to use the gay issue.

Neither! It is an issue of , in some cases, child abuse, and in the very big scope, COVER UP by the Republican Party...this could well grow to the scope of Watergate. Foley was put in charge of a committee to write Internet rules to prevent the very thing he was known for in DC! BY the Republicans in power. This is akin to the Catholic Church hiding Child abuse by shuffling priest around to committ crimes against children again and again. The Republicans will try to spin it into an Anti Gay thing, but that is NOT what this is about. They will also accuse the Democrats of using this against them for election purposes. Spin is nothing new to the Republicans...that is how they operate. Only when America stops keeping their eyes wide shut will things change. The Republicans have come to stand for LIES, Misconduct, mismanagement, and incompreshesnible national debt. The Republicans have run up the National dept (at 1 Trillion when they took office) to 4 TRILLION dollars.!! I cannot even comprehend how much money that is...can you?
Anyone who claims to be a Republican in this day and age is admitting to being a lunatic.

they are trying to take our attention away from the fact that he's a sick, sexual predator...that the Republicans have known about and have protected for years! being gay isn't the problem...he's a pedophile! and the Republicans claim to be the "moral" party! some joke! the are much more deviant than they accuse us of being! those who protected this criminal should be thrown out of congress as well...and be brought up on charges!

i do not truly imagine that's a witch hunt on gays, yet fairly a persisted witch hunt on sex offenders. some members of society (Democratic or Republican) in simple terms love scandals and they try to make a no longer some thing into an exceedingly good huge some thing. In California, brazenly gay state lawmaker, Mark Leno, develop into smeared through Republicans for refusing to bypass Jessica's regulation. They tried to make it look as if Leno develop right into a newborn pornographer even as he insisted on particular topics in the bill = lots of which will probable getting kicked out because they're unconstitutionaMF What we are seeing is yet another moral panic, very like the newborn satanic cult scares of the early Nineteen Eighties. positively between the excuses they went after Foley develop into because he subsidized a number of this law supposedly to music newborn molesters, in elementary words to get stuck up in it himself. that's a huge irony, and human beings like to work out conceitedness humbled. related to the different flesh presser - those federal prosecutors are in simple terms attempting to make a acceptance for themselves. If there is not any longer some thing there, they are going to finally end up searching like idiots. good riddance!

Because Foley is using it for his defense. He figures that some of the people that have the potential to be the most vicious against him will cool their jets when they realize that he "just one of them". BTW, it turns out that the page was 18, or at least the one the scandal broke on.
Still, I know a lot of this crowd wants to distance themselves from being pedophiles, you have to admit, there is a lot of trolling going on fishing for the younger folk. That isn't to say there aren't piles of scuzzies in the hetero camp, but the numbers are huge in this crowd of people shopping for partners and evangelizing gayness among the boys. Sorry, but it is true.

Because Republicans love to demonize the gay community. They are blaming everyone but themselves for allowing Foley to have inappropriate contact with pages.

Because the republicans are in such an uproar about this issue... and in typical republican style, they do all the back-pedaling, finger-pointing, and blaming they can to try to make themselves look better.
They're trying to make this a "gay" issue because not only will it further distance them from the incident, but it will also help to further their agenda that all of the perverts and sickos are gay. (Which of course we know not to be true.)

It is a sexual deviance issue but some people cant help but bring the gay thing in. Because if one gay person did something then all gay people are punished for it. Just like some mid eastern people are terrorists but of course all are not.

It relates to us in a way because of his victims' gender and because Foley's gayness was one of the worst-kept secrets in politics (people spotted him at bars all the time in Florida.) That said, I hate that the homophobes are using it against us.
