id Foley was a democrat would this even be an issue?

Answer 1

Nope. They be defending his rights.

Answer 2

First, I think the whole thing is perverted, but it turns out this young MAN was 18. Republicans as a group should be upset
since most do not believe in being homosexual, but I am confused by the Democrats response of an 18 yr old consenting adult having cyber sex with any age person. Isn't that homosexuality? I personally do not understand how you can have sex without being in same room.
The young man has come out & said this started after he was 18 & no longer a page. Do in the page department & protect them from all politicans, seems a shame but whatever.

My question is who leaked it, it was not the young man, Foley or
the Speaker of House who says they were not the ugly IMs that he see now? It was leaked to a new website that even google would not find & allows you to predate emails. Seems like FBI
will be looking into leak too.

Answer 3

Are you kidding? What an insincere question! Republicans vilify Democrats for any and every thing for hours and hours on their propaganda outlets and on MSM! Even here on Answers. There was a question a few hours ago where people demonized Hillary Clinton for staying with her husband after he committed adultery. When a Democrat forgives and preserves her family unit, she's described as vile and scheming! If she had left him, especially while Bill was still president, she would have been smeared for being a divorced woman, separating her child from her father, distracting Bill from the business of running the government...Evil, evil, either way! But Republicans are perfect and if there's flaw showing, it's the Democrat's or the terrorist's fault one way or another.

The real "issue" here is how Machiavellian your Mayberry masters are. Maybe they've left the Mayberry behind, but not the relentlessly scheming prince.

Answer 4

Oh come on, if Foley were a Democrat would Hastert have kept saying its only improper emails?
Or would the Republicans be smearing every single Dem they could find as a pedophile, homo, sinning, slimebucket unworthy of keeping a presence in Washington?
Its all politics, and its all disheartening to think that the Reps now want to place the blame on this getting out on the Dems, when they could have acted on it earlier. I don't know if the Dems let the cat out of the bag or not, but if they did, they deserve a medal not censure.

Answer 5

No, because Democrats are expected to screw up. If Foley had been a Democrat this would not have an issue because Liberals look out for each other, Even when they know the other guy is a fricken pedophile.

Answer 6

If Foley was a Democrat, he would be a hero.
Yahoo would be full of Democrats, defending him, and protecting his rights as a pervert.

If Foley was a Democrat, he could move to any Blue State and get elected to office.

Answer 7

No. Democrats defend the rights for others to be who they are. All that touchy feely crap and bleeding heart liberal garbage. Since Foley was a Republican, which I don't believe since he didn't practice traditional conservative values, they are all over him. Where is the ACLU? They support NAMBLA. Why not Foley? Same thing. Oh it gives me the creeps!

Answer 8

Of course it would be an issue! Republicans would make damn sure of it, without a doubt.

Look at the hatchet job they did on Bill Clinton for cheating on his wife.

Answer 9

It would have been front page news for a month when the Squeaker of the House found out a year ago.

Answer 10

...yes. The whole Bill Clinton thing was wayyy less creepy than this and that was a big deal. (I do understand there are other reasons why the Clinton thing was a big deal, I'm just saying).

Answer 11

Of course it would. This stuff goes beyond party lines. It's a decency issue.
