I notice the coincidence that he reveals his alcohol addiction & being abused by a Priest at this time before November election. And then his dirty emails are uncovered at this time also.

mustangsuzie,
I'm a republican, & I thought this might be a Democratic tactic to get more votes. No body else mentioned this possiblity to me.
Yes, I am ashamed of him also.

AdamKadmon,
I don't think Foley actually molested anyone. He made some corrupt sexual suggestions though. And it is forgiveable. Jesus shed His blood for the remission of Foley's sins also. Foley just needs to repent to Jesus for not believing in Him. And confess Jesus Christ Lord & believe in the resurrection and he will be saved (receive eternal life).

Alcoholism and being sexually abused as a child IS NO EXCUSE AT ALL for what he did. NONE. So please stop acting like it is one. I started having sex at age 5 with an adult (not my choice of course) and I would never, in a million years consider putting that kind of pain upon a child today. EVER.
Passing along that kind of abuse is SO WRONG and what you suggest is just pathetic. This is the kind of Partisian B1tchiness that is rampant today and ruining politics for the "everyman." Instead of saying Foley is a "flawed man with very serious problems," you immediately say he's a Democratic Plant. While you may THINK this is cute or even funny, its not. It just shows an asinine and unthinking, knee-jerk behavior.
This is the guy who was the Poster Person for protecting the young while secretly stalking them. Why didn't he just get psychiatric help and do something about his desires? He knew they were there. It had been going on for years, so stop acting like it was some out of the blue occurance, that no one knew about. The warning signs had been going on for years and he HAD been turned in "to the highest levels of the Republicans" and they were more worried about a House Seat than a child's safety.
THAT IS UNFORGIVABLE.

i might might desire to declare common Republicans. The Republican base is afraid that she has grow to be oftentimes occurring between others in the social accumulating yet yet she has no ordinary guidance of what it takes to be a chief. rather she grew to alter into oftentimes occurring without want any easily guidance of key venture concerns. She is a danger at the same time because it is composed of politics and that's frightening sufficient. What do Democrats might desire to concern approximately? Its probable Obama may be our president for yet yet another 4 years after his first term. the way he's dealing with the rustic and doing a extensive interest at it, the Dems might have administration till finally 2016 that's extremely probable. Palin could have been oftentimes occurring in the approach the advertising campaign, yet gazing it in concepts-set i think of of the common Republicans have the main significant to be troubled with the aid of utilising actuality many Republicans no remember if common or conservative sense that the social accumulating has lost its actual essence. Dems have not got something to be troubled at this ingredient with the aid of utilising actuality the final public ruled that on November 4th.

Foley wasn't planted by the Democrats. The 18 year old (now 21) former page that he exchanged the IMs with I'm not so sure about.

You have it backwards. The dirty emails came out and *then* he announced he alcohol addiction and went into rehab. A logical chain of events for anyone who has similar problems.
Democratic plant... LOLZ

No, he is corrupt, but also a pedophile too. He wasn't planted only a Republican would say that because of the shame they feel.
