I feel that it is disgusting. It's preying on children. Whether or not a child is of legal age does not change the fact that Foley was in a position of power and abused that power when he messed around with kids. He is a pedophile and a pervert. I don't care if you are a Democrat, Libertarian, or Republican. This kind of behavior is sick and wrong!

What was Coulter's alledged, "virulent defense of Foley"?
You have something to back up that inane question?
Note the following from Ann Coulter: "WHO KNEW CONGRESSMAN FOLEY WAS A CLOSETED DEMOCRAT?"
At least liberals are finally exhibiting a moral compass about something. I am sure that they'd be equally outraged if Rep. Mark Foley were a Democrat.
The object lesson of Foley's inappropriate e-mails to male pages is that when a Republican congressman is caught in a sex scandal, he immediately resigns and crawls off into a hole in abject embarrassment. Democrats get snippy.
Foley didn't claim he was the victim of a "witch-hunt." He didn't whine that he was a put-upon "gay American." He didn't stay in Congress and haughtily rebuke his critics. He didn't run for re-election. He certainly didn't claim he was "saving the Constitution." (Although his recent discovery that he has a drinking problem has a certain Democratic ring to it.)
In 1983, Democratic congressman Gerry Studds was found to have sexually propositioned House pages and actually buggered a 17-year-old male page whom he took on a trip to Portugal. The 46-year-old Studds indignantly attacked those who criticized him for what he called a "mutually voluntary, private relationship between adults."
When the House censured Studds for his sex romp with a male page, Studds — not one to be shy about presenting his backside to a large group of men — defiantly turned his back on the House during the vote. He ran for re-election and was happily returned to office five more times by liberal Democratic voters in his Martha's Vineyard district. (They really liked his campaign slogan: "It's the outfit, stupid.")

Historically, people who call for ultra-morality and stiff-upper-lip thinking are also depraved pederasts, thieves and murderers in their spare time, hidden away from public view.
When perverted, depraved leaders like Foley get exposed, people who are similar like Ann Coulter sometimes show their true colors.
There isn't anything 'sudden' about the GOP problem with pedophilia. There's more, just as bad, beneath the surface.

Anyone who would defend his actions is twisted. This isn't "sudden" look at our religious groups (particularly catholic) the sexual abuse of children there has been going full bore for many years with the full protection of the church. Possibly the ongoing lawsuits will at least help in that area. They will probably respond much more to prevent the cost. They were obviously unwilling to do so for moral reasons. These problem have always existed within groups and organizations who are allowed to police themselves.

No Pedophilia between Foley and the 16 yo....16 is the legal age of consent in Washington D.C.
I don't approve of his actions nor did I approve of Clinton's sexual actions in the
White house.
After all, isn't sex a personal thing? That was what we were told when Willy and Monica were playing.

Who has stated foley is a pedophile? I have not heard or seen any proof of him engaging in sex acts with children or having the propoganda of such acts.

She as a transsexual is surely pro-pedophilia. Just listen to this strangely shifting voice of hers. I mean ... the rest looks O.K., but the adams apple and the voice still needs some work.

No, you mis-understood her.
She is as straight as an arrow.
Sometimes people don't understand her satire.
Especially if they are prejudiced against her anyway.
It's the Democrat Party who supports perversion.
