That really seems to be US Politics: a third are for it, a third are against it and a third don't care

Hell no! Hastert is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't!
The righteous position is to demand his resignation. If he does, so be it. If he doesn't, he makes an EXCELLENT punching bag for the opposition.
Fact is, he's politically dead. If the Reps lose control of the House, he's automatically out as majority leader. If the Reps keep control of the House (less likely as every day passes and each new revelatation comes to light) he'll be replaced by his own party as Speaker; he's seriously damaged goods.

Heres the real problem: NO ONE has focused on what Foley did and he he may have harmed! Yes its true this isnt about Politics its about improper emails sent to teens! Neither party endorses pedophlia! Neither party would support sexually charged emails to teens! But low and behold its being made use of to support canidates for upcoming mid term elections! My God people wake up!!!! Your being duped by BOTH sides!! thsi is about what one man did that was wrong!! Not about parties!! We dont even knw what was in emails! It couldnt be that bad or he would be in jail! He clearly was improper with his conduct but he couldnt have said something like "I want you to suck my $%&@" if he had he would have committed a crime and would be in jail! Whatever he said walked the legal line but was still improper! If teens were under 18 even more so! But back to whats true, whats true is that neither party should be using this to their advantage! This is and never was about parties its about wrongdoing! Why do we have party member scramble and try to distance themselves when fellow party members get in trouble like Clinton, Conduit, Foley, Nixon etc its simple because the media makes us think that if one party member did wrong they are all wrong and evil! Thats not true! The would be like saying that one member of your bowling team (just an example) shoplifted then all the bowling team are theifs! People dont be manipulated by media or parties vote with your heart over who supports your own ideas. Do not listen the crapped spilled by the media. Look at thsi honestly who was wrong here The Republicans or Foley! No one failed but Foley

Over 1 third of congress feels that Hastert should resign because of his covering up a homosexual pedophile's activities. its that bad enough? How do you consider it a victory for anybody? Only a hypocritical ditto would try to spin an anti-dem theme out of this crime and travesty...

Why not tell the whole truth, wouldn't that be refreshing. Yes 36%
No 27%
Not Sure 37% That is the whole truth.

Does that mean the demo's knew about Foley, and waited right before election time to expose?

I wonder if the American people are really intelligent enough to see through the Hypocrite Democrats.
They finally saw through Clinton, but it took them years.

Nobody 'failed'. This is apathy and ignorance at work again.
