The Mark Foley scandal has woken up more republicans to the fact that, like Ronald Reagan said "I didn't leave my party, it left me." On one side, we see principled republican conservatives and other GOPers properly calling for this matter to be properly investigated, for leaders to voluntarily relinquish their posts and returning campain contributions from the disgra
nope, married, 2 kids, one on the way
i dunno,,,it's good stuff tho,,,and just for the record, i'm not a "hillary hater" or lover. personally, i don't think she'll get the nomination, although i think she could be barak obama's or mark warner or bill richardson or joe biden's vice presidential nominee. but there's a long way to go till we get there,,,i'll make some more serious predictions a year or so from now, till then, it's justspeculative fun. and like the daily show and SNL, i have no problem pokin fun at any public figure. es
The media is and has been the problem here. This entire story is completely politically motivated. The media knew about this story and started it's push just weeks before a major election. I'm not excusing Foley's behavior, but the motivation behind this is disturbing, and it's coming from the democrats. you are dead wrong...ABC, who broke the st
Really? You think so? Well let me inform you on a little something. The "media" has known about this debacle for about a year, really? so what, if they did...they are not responsible here. and furthermore, i kinda hold my congressman to a lil higher standard than my local newspaper reporter. who did the media you are claiming get their story from? according to ABC, their sources were republican. and no one has shown that anyone sat on this story for the election. that's just han
of course, i guess it's easy to sit around and go after people who don't deserve it when you are too much of a coward to put your name on it. just another keyboard bully with an alias.
here's some things foley had to say on this subject himself: "It's vile," said Rep. Mark Foley, R-West Palm Beach. "It's more sad than anything else, to see someone with such potential throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction." (speaking of Clinton) That was "just sad," Foley said. "It's unbelievable that he could behave so carelessly in that setting." (referring to Clinton's behavior in the Oval Office) <B
you removed your articles because you are embarrassed about your wrongness...the responsible thing to do would be to leave your words and update your article instead of hiding it.
so what if 1 of the pages were 18? foley is old enough to be his GRANDFATHER...that doesn't disgust you? this issue has some legal questions, but beyond that, it's about morals. you seem to be desperately searching for a way to somehow pin this on the democrats and media instead of where the responsibility is. because 1 page was 18 alledgedly foley is innocent? LMFAO!!!!!!!!! are you forgetting that the 1st page was 16? and i could c
i thought this was gonna be about the classic johnathan swift piece of literature, one of my favorites....but i like your "proposal" too.
this is really desperate folks.... 1) hastert has already been shown to have lied about his knowledge, and he probably won't be speaker this time next year, if not next week 2) boehner has flip-flopped twice so far 3) reynolds behavior has just been disgraceful, starting with using children as a "media shield" from tough questions. 4) it is the right, not the left who has been the most vocal in calling for hastert's resignation. republican and conservative house m
whatever baker...have a nice day:)
Sean, actually I wasn't directing that line towards you... I meant it as a general statement about the Democrats feigning "outrage" with what really is one.... on all sides. granted...perhaps i misread. i'm not as sure if their outrage is "feigned" as i know a lot of very decent democrats who are really outraged by this. a lot of decent republicans too, just to be fair. i am aware that some on both sides will try to milk this or another
and on the "fake alchoholics" thing....a lil off topic but resports are surfacing about mel gibson being spotted drinking a budweiser in texas after leaving rehab last month. there are at least 2 eyewitnesses in austin that saw him on sept. 22 drinking at a party that had something to do with his new movie release. the fake victim's defenses where everything is spun around backwards really make me sick.
baker and you are entirely missing my point here...we agree, foley is scum. i have not passed ANY judgement on anyone else. both the "hastert, boehner, reynolds must resign now" crowd and the "great left wing conspiracy theorists" are out of line in my opinion. i am neutral as far as all of them are concerned. Anyone who defends the Congressional Democrats in this "outrage" is just scummy. no, anyone who is condemming people b
more bullshit...behind your smokescreen is still the point i made, in which you have failed to address. this is not an attack by the democrats. this is a story about protecting our children. the fact is that mark foley is a pervert. blaming democrats for that is insane and stupid. the fact is that people from all political backrounds have spoken out about this. amongst others, tony blankley, the conservative wash. times writer called for has
but no evidence supporting your claims,,,calling me a liar based on nothing...attack, attack, attack with all the hannity talking points.....geeez.
i enjoyed! very funny!
It has to do with the fact that the Dems have people sitting in office right now that have done far worse, and this is just a way for people who live in glass houses to toss stones. Foley is defunct, resigned, gone, and probably due for the legal reaming of his life. a) like i said before, this isn't a partisan thing....you seem hell bent into turning it into one tho b) i still fail to see what a 30 some year old case about a car g
If only Mary Jo Kopechne had lived in the Internet era, she might still be alive... what does that have to do with anything here?
it is nice to find some common ground with ya'll tho,,,as unfortunate as the circumstance may be...
i'm curious,,,is there any evidence that ABC timed this? and hasn't ABC and Disney been a lil more "go GOP" lately? i guess i'm failing to see the "attack the messenger" theme being justified here.
Late night comedians had a field day when Pat Stevens, the Senator in charge of the internet in congress, commented that the internet was a "series of tubes" showing how little he knew about the technology he was overseeing. Of course we all remember George Bush senior needing bar codes to be explained to him in a supermarket, exposing just how little shopping the ex
Heh, as far as boinking young interns goes, remember, these are young adults, not children. Monica Lewinski was only 19 when Clinton was playing cigar games with her in the Oval office. and in this country, i believe legally, but at least ethicly and morally in many people's mind, there is a BIG difference between 16 and 19. the lewinski affair is irrelevant here. the details are much different. interns are college age and legal adults. pages are high school kids and usually are
chris angel baffles me almost every time. i also have a david blaine "close up magic" special on my DVR that has been running here and there on cable. a few of those tricks just blow my mind. the most impressive show i've ever seen in person is penn & teller tho. they make fun of other magicians and illusionists in their show. their old time con artists so the whole show is like 1 big set up. every time they seem to be pulling off some big illusion, it turns out to be some cheap scam.
