| There's no evidence yet that Dems sat on this. But the fact that this is so old and the timing makes it seem to be so. Most opinion reports I've read from both sides have suggested it may have been timed. And I think most people following this case closely follow in that opinion. And pre-emptive accusations are going to bite them in the butt. Republicans are very good and spinning things back in the Dems faces when they get out of control. They really should stick to the facts and make this a GOP issue and not start naming names. Because if they mess up, it's gonna hurt them. And with the Republicans calling out Pelosi and Boehner, it'll be interesting to see what they have against them to make such a demand. | ||||

Honestly, I haven't seen the Democrats saying much about this. They are playing this pretty well. | ||||

| So you have no evidence, but some opinion pieces from pundits, and you'd like to have a serious discussion? Am I the only one who picks up on this stuff? | ||||

I haven't said the Dems sat on it, just stating what I've heard from both political parties. You can be on the fence, I'm unsure, but strongly questioning it at this point. | ||||

| The source who in July gave news media Rep. Mark Foley’s (R-Fla.) suspect e-mails to a former House page says the documents came to him from a House GOP aide. Longtime Republican was source of e-mails So the Emails came from Republicans The IMs came from a kid who is working to elect a Republican in OK I have the evidence, what do you have? Some opinions you think you read somewhere? | ||||

| There's a lot of bullshit going on on both sides. If the Democrats were truly concerned about the boy's safety they shouldv'e acted immediately instead of waiting waiting to be able to politicise it. Sexual molestation is not something to be politicised, because it can cause further harm to the child. Secondly, politicising it also harms the nation in polarizing the nations' citizens against one another through political lines. I mean look at the bullshit in this thread alone how the Democrats/liberals are so damned interested in making shit up in order to blast the Republican's/conservatives, not to mention their fucking bullshit of guilty no matter what, and now the conservatives do the same damned thing, making shit up to protect themselves and to attack the democrats. It's all bullshit on nothing more than a bumch of hearsay vthatr wouldn't convict Foley in a court of law. But this is the fucked up world of partisan politcs where an accusation means automatially guilty no mattr what and you have to believe the other side is guilty no matter what on scant evidence. There is no hard evidence of anything wrong happening period. If it was caught on tape then there'd be har evidence. Emails can be faked. People can lie, especially6 when it comes tyo partisn politics. | ||||
