What Foley did was wrong, but it is a personal tragedy that only affects the lives of a few people. The Abramoff scandal, on the other hand, threatens the integrity of our entire democratic process.

Probably for the same reason the dems came to the defense of something very similar but proven ... this story has not ended yet and unfortunately, the shoe is going to drop on the dems. Is such an evident political ploy, it should actually embarrass the dems. It was dropped on the public within the 60 days before an election, so there is no advertising which can be used to refute it.. Thanks to a couple of our senators who put through a bill to disallow such advertising to take place.

Foley and Abramoff both got caught acting like Democrats.

Ha! look at the first two posters: "It's always the Dem's fault."
Why do Con-jobs always say they're for personal responsibility - but always find excuses for their camp?
