Nothing Rove and his dirty tricks department pulls out of the muck would surprise me. Remember the Swift Boat liars? Remember how McCain got accused of having an illegitimate kid with a black woman?

Diversion against what: World War III? The Earth Shifting on its Axis? Why in the world would they want Foley's sickness to come out? They lied like rugs until they couldn't lie anymore and then they blamed the Democrats. No, doesn't sound like a diversion. Sounds like they're getting what's coming.

The Republican party isn't that calculating. Besides it would be the worst thing for the conservative part of the party to loose Haskert.
It's the dems calling for his head, so the thought that it was a Republican plan is silly. And completely shows how much paranoia is on the left.

Now you will say that Rep Foley was never a Republican. He was a disguised Democrat.

not likely. but it is diverting attention away from the real problems created by the republicans and is overshadowing their attempts to focus on isssues they want to stress while allowing the dems to paint them as corrupt and not the moral leaders they claim to be. they are being hurt , badly it seems, and the religious right may desert them this election due to getting into so many scandalous affairs , especially where the leadership is involved. their failure to act decisively years ago is a definite problem they will not be able to overcome, without getting hurt at the polls first.

I believe liberals are behind this, but both sides do the exactly the same things, distracting the public from the real issues at hand. It's called politics.

That would be one bad diversion if that's the case

No. Clinton was the wag the dog guy, remember?
I know that the liberals really do believe that Bush, the Republicans and the whole US besides them are really this stupid, though...

But it could truly torpedo GOP hopes to hold onto the edges in both parts of the Congress
