UH you do know that foley has been kicked out, unlike barney frank and ted kennedy.

UH you do know that this was basically a well-known secret for a year by many, many Republicans in DC, who chose to keep it a secret rather than risk harming their hold on power?

You can choose to defend people who care more about protecting a f#cking pedophile over possibly losing control of Congress if you like. I'm not sure how you can look yourself in the mirror, though. Even without the IMs, there was enough evidence to be more proactive about Foley's fondness for boys. It also appears that page orientation unofficially included instructions to cover your ass when around Foley. There are several people in Congress who could have done something about this, but chose not to really do so until the sh!t hit the fan in the news media. That is more an example of a culture of corruption than any garbage Pelosi has ever cited.

I'm amazed, this issue has drawn serious comments there. Of course the rest of the semi sentient rabble don't know what to make of it when that happens, as they do one liner party hack posts.

At FReeperland talking politics and commenting on stories and social issues is currently on the intellectual level of little kids playing house, or cowboys and Indians.

You do find gems in the flow of some threads, but never do you find the engaging in depth conversations that first drew me to that forum in the mid nineties.

Be nice. You are on thin ice now after failing to show up last night. One more screw up and we will replace you with Continental Op.

I was nice last nite. I gave piles of US dollars at the local titty bar to the nude dancers; they loved me.

They charge buckeroo $17.00, but they call him 'sweetie' when they do it.

Yeah, but I get much more than a "lap dance" out of my donation.

Oh no.

It is passion of the deepest human experience. It becomes quite religious with, Oh GOD and all that stuff. I shall detail these extraordinary experiences on another thread for you.

Buckeroo pulls things down, but he will pass out soon. Things will go back to normal then.

Buckeroo is just upset. He feels Foley is being railroaded.

The GOPs had all the 'timing' in the world to out the freak. Yet, they didn't. Apparently, they didn't even advise him to quite that stupid caucus dedicated to preserving teen chastity. This makes the GOP leadership freaks as well.

We have no idea at this point in time what the GOP did or didn't do. All I am saying is that if this was known for some time, as suggested, the timing is political to the max. The same goes for Gov. Allen. The pattern is clear if one cares to look.

And exactly what is so bad about what time it becomes public that someone is diddling pervertedly with children? Frankly, who gives a flying fig leaf when the sonofabitch is outted? Two days before the election wouldn't matter either! The important thing is to get him outted and out of our lives--outted and on a list of sex perverts--better yet brand the forehead in large letters, like CM, CA, SP, etc., so that every step the sonofabitch takes it is evident to everyone in society to avoid him like the plague.

I find it at least a tad bit MORE IMPORTANT to crucify the sonofabitch that wants to diddle with our children while hypocritically positioning himself as an advocate for missing and EXPLOITED kids!

Seems your outrage is seriously misplaced. I daresay if it was your son who was the page involved with some political bastard trying to dicker with him, your opinion of timing wouldn't matter--you'd be wanting to kill the bastard with your bare hands.....that is, of course, unless you're a girly sort of man or...*gasp* like foley!

I had the same observation about "curious timing" as Dempsey which I pointed out yesterday when the story first broke.

I cannot speak for Dempsey, but I tried to explain better to you what I meant by pointing out "curious timing" in my post #76.

I do not condone Foley's behavior, but the DC political elite - BOTH PARTIES - condoned his behavior for quite some time.

Don't tell me that the Dimwits were unaware of Foley's "proclivities" regarding hitting on little boy page interns. Puhleaze - if all the pages were told to beware of Foley when they were hired, you don't think that this news wasn't picked up by Dimwit Dumbo ears in the hallways of Congresss? The 2 parties snoop on each other all the time.

So your outrage should be directed at our political elite, not at Dempsey and me. We are solely the messengers.

You bet it is curious timing. I stand my my observations in post #76. There is something happening behind the scenes beyond a pedophile "getting caught." Foley should have been "caught" at minimum 1 year ago or even before that time.

Consider how Clinton, hitting on women 24/7 for years and years, only manages to get "tripped up" by 1 woman, a certain Monica Lewin-sky and alas, this Oval Office scandal significantly contributes to the Dimwit Party losing the "trust" of the sheeple.

Of course they were aware of what was going on. Both parties are corrupt and immoral and feel they are above the law and "have a right" to act any way they want to act, to include having sex with underage children, using drugs, or any other number of activities that would have John Q Public rotting behind bars. Chances are good that Foley and his fellow congressional perverts were high fiving each other as they swapped pages.

So your outrage should be directed at our political elite, not at Dempsey and me. We are solely the messengers.

I'm not outraged at all. It sounded to me like Dempsey was making light of the situation because it was political. Of course it was political. Everything in Washington DC is political, but that does not mean they should get a pass. I merely took what I thought was his attitude and expanded on it until it sounded like a Becket Saunders, Footloose, putupjob ImStillRight, Barfs alot, or BAC post.

I agree. It's also disgusting to hear that the "liberal" newsmedia sat on this story instead of being investigative journalists and busting this story twelve months ago. My guess would be that it was outed now to take attention away from the toture bill Congress just passed.

I'm with you in suspecting that this foley story was broken (and IMO by the gopers) as a way to brush over the torture barnyard bull bill. I found it interesting that under that bill, in the treaty section, there was a retroactive clause going back to November 1997.

Perhaps we're all wrong, and the msm will dutifully make a detailed report on the torture policy bill of the us as just passed by the house or the senate.

I heard there was two different bills, so it has to go into reconciliation, or conference committee.....if so, hold onto your hats because all bets are off as to what it will contain.
