Conservatives criticizing Foley

6SpeedTA95 · 10-02-2006, 09:29 PM

The stars align as Michelle, Bill, and KP agree that Mark Foley is a predator for whom no one should be making excuses. I didn’t think anyone had been, and in all candor I find it somewhat offensive that wanting the same standards to apply to both sides should be considered tantamount to apologizing for what he did. No one’s letting Foley off the hook. The fact is, if someone knew what he was up to and didn’t act to stop it immediately, they’re complicit in child abuse. Period. Republican, Democrat, politician, civilian, what have you. Makes no difference.
But people can disagree about these things, I guess.

It's good to see some republicans even very conservative republicans criticizing this guy as Malkin did this evening. As I've said in thread after thread this is unacceptable behavior.

Good. Everyone should criticize this.

No, but some people on this forum seem to think that they wouldn't have come out against it.

CNN's saying the Washington Times will have an editorial tomorrow urging Hastert to resign. Maybe this is the perfect storm after all.

I'm glad to see some Republicans finally standing up and demanding accountability from their own representatives instead of giving them free passes all the time.

Hastert resigns, Reynolds looks like he is going to lose his seat over this, he was only two points ahead, 45-43, before the scandal broke...now he is going to get buried...ha ha

Garry had some good points. If anyone needs Xanax, it's Foley.

Any chance we could use this thread to collect links/quotes of conservatives coming out against Foley? They sure make interesting reading. It makes me feel better about humanity that they're not letting this one slide, like they have for almost everything else.
