Again, you take the issues of a few and turn it on the whole party.

This isn't "the" Democrats. This is "A" Democrat.

I would ask Foley himself. He was involved in drafting those laws.

Excellent.


No laws were broken and the Republicans still fell all over each other trying to blame everyone else.
Now lets ask Hastert why he didn't investigate this when it first came up. Lets ask Boehner and Delay as well.

Nice job guys. Your reaction was the whole story.

Uh, no laws were broken to begin with; the Republicans fell all over each other because the Democrats claimed there had been.

what a public figure does in his bedroom is private, what clinton did in the oval office while on the phone with heads of state was private... when he lied to a grand jury during an investigation, that was not a privacy matter.

the only thing ever proved was that he got a blowjob, and since he is allowed to take breaks at will, his private break time is his private business

If Bush had sex with Laura in the oval office, I don't think thats a public matter

He never lied to grand jury, pleading out does not mean a person has done something wrong, it just means they have made a legal decision

If a twin brother confesses to murder he didn't do (his brother did) he did not commit murder, he merely pleaded guilty to help his family, much like Clinton ended the case to help his wife's Senatorial campaign

No, it was also proved that he lied in the Paula Jones case.

Me neither.

Sorry, it was a sworn deposition in the Jones sexual harassment case where he lied about not having had "sexual relations" with lewinsky.

Not sure wtf this has to do with this, but clinton said he "did not have sexual relations with that woman" and then said it depended on what the definition of the word "is" is......in other words he lied in sworn deposition.

I agree 100% his sex life should have been private, but when there was enough evidence for Jones to file the suit and when clinton lied during it, he opened himself up. Please show me the lawsuit against foley during which he lied thus making it ok to open the rest of his private life.

Who's ruining their lives?

It's up to each individual how they will react to the news that a person is gay. This changes nothing about him for me. I'll still disagree with him on issues because I think his positions suck.

The fact that he's gay has nothing to do with that.

However, for the Republican party and conservatives, they might react differently. They are responsible for their reactions to this, not the Democrat who put the reaction in there.

Try again.

You don't actually have to have sexual relations with someone underage to break the law when it comes to online stuff. So, what's your point?

Oh yeah? Then what's the law? Because everything I've ever seen regarding the cops catching sexual predators is that they actually have to show up for the 'meeting'.

From a similar story:

Local police today charged the director of human resources at The Washington Times with one count of attempting to entice a minor on the Internet, the newspaper reported.
You can't solicit or entice a minor over the internets.
