    Its only the Democrats that are twisting politics into this story right?

    From Speaker Hastert:

    "They don't have policy to talk about, so all they can do is jump on a scandal and inflame it. ... All they want to do is raise taxes." he said.


    Can you make a more juvenile statement?

    Hastert's blaming Democrats, ABC News, George Soros, pretty much anyone except for himself and the rest of the GOP leadership.

    TIME.com is saying that there are unconfirmed reports within Republican circles that Foley showed up at a page dorm drunk. Reports didn't specify when this happened.

    "Something like this, I take the responsibility. The buck stops where I'm at."

    Pretty meaningless when he follows it up with this: The congressman said during a speech Thursday, explaining "I haven't done anything wrong."

    There was, most likely, nothing criminal in his actions.

    If Speaker Hastert was the paragon of virtue and integrity he claims to be, he would have called for a thorough investigation of the matter when he first found out about it two years ago instead of making a concentrated effort to find out as little as possible.

    Has anybody definitively proven that it was a Democrat who leaked the emails? I'm sure it was somehow Bill Clinton's fault. Maybe FDR and JFK had something to do with it, too.

    Hey, I'm just trying to fit in on this board where it is a statement of fact that Cheney planned 9/11, Bush rigged voting machines, etc... The only difference is that mine is much more realisitic so maybe it can't be believed.

    I blame freedom haters, and those who hate our way of life...I heard plans are in the making for building a moat around Congressional Pages, as well as construction of a 700 mile wall...

    Well, since I could care less about conspiracy theories in general, I don't see how that point is relevant.

    It will start coming out soon since there was a media outlet who had this information six months ago and decided not to use it. This was more well known (even within the page program) than the Democrats who are screaming foul now want to let out.

    maybe you can try and act like an adult. your attempts to make light of the situation is quite sickening.

    I'll believe it as soon as I hear Republicans naming specific Democrats who knew as much as the Republicans did and said nothing. Until then, it's just funny to hear Hastert and others basically saying, "It's the fault of the Democrats! They knew we were going out of our way to hide a pedophile Republican congressman from the people, and they did nothing! The blame for this is clearly on their shoulders!"

    Even if it is revealed that Democrats did know about Foley, I'm not sure how it helps Republicans to point at Democrats and criticize them: "The Democrats were playing politics with this! They waited until an election year to tell you! We wouldn't do that! We weren't going to tell you at all!"

    you mean you want to cut and run from molesting kids? if you dont like molesting kids why dont you go live in another country? can you begin to see how asinine these republican talking points are now??? and i assure you this WAR is WAAAAYYYYYYYYYY more disgusting and perverse than anything foley could write in an e-mail to a teenage boy. the gruesome thing is not what one pervert wrote in an e-mail, it is that the republican leadership played lookout for him while he did it. i can excuse the fact that there are weirdos everywhere, nobody could hold the republican partry accountable for HIS actions, but this was swept under the rug to the detriment of other kids, and they are STILL lying about it. truth is, it is a shame the republicans are going down on an issue like this as opposed to their sicko legislation regarding throwing away civil liberties, condoning torture, giving the executive branch unbridled powers, and selling their votes to the highest bidding corporation, but they ARE going down, and when they do there WILL be an investigation into the real scumbags in this country and why we are in this PERVERSE war..... when that happens, this country may gain back some credibility, and respect, as of now we have nor DESERVE either. so do not lecture me on acting like an adult, look to your heroes in office and make the same request of them.

    It doesn't minimize the responsibility of the Republicans but does neutralize the political calls of the Democrats and the public in calling for all resignations from one side. Should the editorial board of the Florida paper who knew about this resign as well?
