Two weeks ago all Republicans said "We like Mark Foley". Now the Republicans say "Mark Foley? Never heard of him". Why the change?

Get real
Everyone knows exactly who he is, and nobody says "Mark Foley? Never heard of him".
It is just, as it should be, nobody wants to associate with this sicko anymore, now that what he has done is known to the world. If you think also that Republicans would want him around and it was OK with them as long as his secret was hidden (meaning that they knew and it was just OK because nobody else knew), you would also be sadly mistaken on that assumption.

When he was giving away portions of his overstuffed re-election fund he was everyone's hero. When the Democrat's released their "October Surprise" and permitted the press to finally run the story about Foley's emails (to an 18 year old... but don't let the facts ruin a good pedophilia story) the Republicans rightfully distanced themselves.
If Foley committed improper acts with minors (that has yet to be established) the republicans are right in letting Foley resign and move on. If Foley resigned because of his embarrassment over having sex with an 18 year old male then he has his own issues to work out. Nobody cares if he is gay, but is he is a pedophile he deserves everyone's scorn.

Prove it, Erudite. Prove that all Republicans are saying
"Mark Foley Who"? Show us your evidence, and show it to us truthfully, not where you rewrite a news article and word it the way you want it.
You know how you're always talking about the Marines and how screwy they are when they come home from Iraq? Erudite, those men are far more logical then you'll ever be. It's you that lives in this delusional world of make believe. It's you that makes up lie after lie every single day. It's you that claims to pick on poor defenseless Iraq Veterans that have been seriously injured in the war, and you who mocks the families of dead soldiers. It takes a seriously demented person to do what you do.
I don't know what your Veteran benefits are from the Military, but if mental heath help is one of them, you should defiantly take them up on it. You're crazy.

Funny, I'd never heard of him two weeks ago. People do not know the names of every member of the House. That politics is local.

Believe me, if this was the Dems October surprise, they
would have kept it for a couple more weeks.
They know who he is, they're going to try their darnest to
make everyone else try to forget.
What do you think - another attack? Capturing Bin Laden?
I'm sure Rove is working on it right now.
