Right wingers are always screaming about taking responsibility. Did the Republicans do so in the Foley case?

Question

Or did they start blaming everyone else for the incident and the cover-up?

Do you think there will be a whole generation of school kids that won't know the difference between the words "Republican" and "Hypocrite"?

Answer 1

Usually those that talk about responsibility the loudest are those that take it the least. Foley was out there advocating for the rights of children!

Answer 2

It is something of a joke. They've blathered on Clinton for going on 20 years now and suddenly think that everyone should just overlook the whole Foley thing. Or respond by saying, no you're the hypocrite. Puh..lease, take responsibility for your actions or shut up. They knew full well what was going on and got caught trying to cover it up. The sad part is they'll probably get away with it. They already trying to blame the whole thing on homosexuals in the House. What a joke! The republicans being so gay friendly and all.

Answer 3

One news dweeb described the Squeaker of the House and other House Repub's as being in a "Circular firing squad".

If I were a true skeptic, I'd say they had Foley resign so that they could claim they couldn't make him part of the "investigation" in the National Fruit Basket.

Yuck! What's that under the rock? Oh, a bush-league neocon.

Answer 4

My God are you that stupid blind or ignorant!? The Foley emails had NOTHING to do with being Republican anymore than Clinton's affair had to do with Democrats. They were actions made by men! Poor choices yes! Now did I blame Democrats for Clinton's affair or even his lie under oath?, no I did not that was all on Clinton. Foley is one who acted in improper manner toward young pages no Republicans. Problem is simple the media wants to tie any individuals actions to their party! If a Police officer rapes does this mean all Policemen are now criminals because they are Policemen? No Foley needs serious help and based on what emails stated jail time but its not a party issue only the media and morons who can't see whats in front of them can see that.

Answer 5

once again, taking the actions of a few and blaming them on millions...

and I think EVERYONE screams about responsibility, don't we? I mean, to not do that would be quite irresponsible now wouldn't it!!!

let's put the blame on the individuals that it belongs on and stop making bigoted remarks.

Answer 6

I don't know, but you can not be doing that sort of stuff to kids - I don't care who you are or what you think you are doing.

Foley needs to go to jail, and the page system needs to be examined, and if it is found to be only an excuse to bang little boys, then it needs to be abolished.

Answer 7

The Republican Strategy
1) Deny
2) Change Subject
3) Attack

Answer 8

Yes. They denounced Foley and allowed him to resign.

The Democrats had this information for months and sat on it for the political value. Dean, Pelosi and Reed must be investigated for this.

Why is Pelosi mad that the FBI has said they are investigating all aspects of this case? Why is she so angry, is she afraid her role will be revealed?

Answer 9

He resigned - did Clinton? Studds? Reynolds? Frank? Go lay down. Stay. Good boy...


Hey! Answerman!! Paula Jones and the rest of the ladies, with the exception of Monica, did not give consent dummy - that's sexual assault!! Wake up!!

Answer 10

ummm... let me see... the facts are Foley simply EMAILED someone, never meetingor doing anything inperson at all... and when caught EMAILING.....in this manner... he resigned from office...............and then you had Slick Willie.... actually usinghis "cigar" on monica while in office, admitted it.. all was fine in the world with nothing ever done........so you tell mewho took responsibility?
