Quote:... a year after finding out! It was only the publicity that forced the resignation. Republicans would have been happy as pigs in shit to continue this all quietly. Look, I'm not saying Democrats are better. If they were in power they might have tried to cover this up too. BUT to say that the Republicans "do the right thing"....
Republicans either do the right thing or else are held accountable by other Republicans who, in this case, likely forced his immediate resignation
That's enough to make me spew coffee over my keyboard!

Fuck HERO,
They try to do the right thing "WHEN THEY ARE CAUGHT?"
First of all, that's dispicable. So they try to do damage control if they're caught, or their party does damage control if there's no other way to hide the problem. That's the meter you are going to use for integrity?
And they can't even live up to that low standard. It's already been posted how Hastert and other republicans knew about this scandal and said nothing.
And what was Rice's response to Woodward's charge that she had been briefed on Bin Laden prior to 9/11? Sorry, 'would've remembered.' What do we find out? SHE WAS BRIEFED.
I honestly don't think even you believe the shit you spew, and I'm really not sure why you expect anyone else to, when your posts never last more than five minutes before somebody has to correct your rhetoric, by pointing out nasty little facts...facts that you could even get by watching our shitty news networks, and that's saying something.

The amazing thing is that Foley was up until Friday "co-chairman of the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus"! And House Republicans knew about this for a YEAR, and protected him anyway. This is like Catholic bishops protecting pedohpile priests! How creepy can this get?
This is not an isolated incident, I wish people would stop acting like it is, seriously there is a whole network of pedohiles in government including the Bush's, it is no accident or coincidence that Foley was Congressional Co-chairman of Missing and exploited children's Caucus. Some of us have seriously and honestly been discussing this very issue for months on this board, well three of us to be exact.
An investiagation alone is not going to really uncover just how deep this thing goes, because the people doing the investigating are also involved including people in the FBI and CIA, what is needed is a major public out cry, with people unwilling to except whatever is dished out to them. Only then will we start getting the real story, people will start talking...but there has to be a huge public outcry and interest for that to happen one that even the mainsteam media can't fully ignore.

Republicans and Democrats are human and commit crimes common to all persons regardless of race, class, and party affiliation. Unlike Democrats, when caught, Republicans either do the right thing or else are held accountable by other Republicans who, in this case, likely forced his immediate resignation rather then the more politically expediant waiting until the day after his reelection so they could appoint a Republican replacement...
I honestly thought that their was a modcum of integrity in you and humanity but now I see why you support the people in office that you do. When people are praying on children, it should not matter wether they have a D or an R in front of their names,( that shouldn't even be the issue the fact that it is speaks volumes about you as a human being. do you even care that Foley was solicting young boys does that even register with you? because frankly I would be more interested in hearing what you think about that, then making excuses for Rep's, the morality party... who has no morals!!!

...[/The simple fact is that the Republican leadership did not want to know what was going on. Foley was a Republican vote in Congress from a safe district. So they kept quiet and looked the other way and hoped no one would notice.
Many Republicans in leadership knew exactly what was going on because many of them are also involved in it. Foley is no Island onto himself,there are many many people involved in this including, Bush Sr, Bush Jr, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Rummmy and many many many others. this goes all the way to the top!!

"Lawyer: Foley checks into rehab for alcoholism"Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Florida congressman who quit after questions emerged about his e-mails to teenage pages has checked himself into alcohol rehab.
I do think there is a reason why he has been whisked away to rehab, they've got him somewhere where they can keep an eye on him and make sure nobody gets to him until this dies down.
It's sick, we are suppose to care that he has a substance problem, and that is suppose to somehow relieve him of being a pedophile, so he quits his job and goes into rehab...why isn't he being arrested, this is just going to be swept under the rug and they are going to continue hurting children..because they can get away with it!!
This is unacceptable!!

PJ, a little math lesson real quick.
And this'll let you know why I am less than fond of NCMEC.
Count how many missing kids in the USA, count em, just the reported ones, even.
Think of the physical VOLUME that so many people would take up, even.
Then go count how many kids go into the social services system, via neglect, abandonment or in rare case outright lame excuses.
Then go count how many come OUT.
So, what happens ?
Where the hell are they ?
They're not in foster care, not placed, not adoped and not in custody... they just... no longer officially exist.
Not only that, but Boys Town is not the only feeder system, there's plenty more, many associated with Catholic Charities.
If I can spot these anomolies, so can NCMEC, and thus, they "know", and the lack of action in that direction, that silence, condemns them more than any words I could say.

This is a standard legal and PR tactic when a political person is facing arrest. Usually for DUI, like Congressman Kennedy, and Hollywood VIPs like Mel Gibson.

I bet John Walsh wants to rip off his head!
This blackmail op overshadows the real news of the week, of US Congress pardoning Bush and Cheney for raping little boys with acid at Abu Ghraib. So now the Bush Gang hopes they won't face the DEATH PENALTY, but actually, this new law HR6166 AUTHORIZES THAT BUSH AND HIS GANGSTA GOVT BE RAPED AND TORTURED UNTIL DEAD, WITHOUT TRIAL AND WITHOUT APPEAL... Of course, that's how Bush likes his sex, so that's his idea of heaven at Skull & Bones and Bohemian Grove.

Flamed Out GOP Star Arrested For Child Sex Assault
Colorado Confidential
September 29, 2006
Randal D. "Randy" Ankeney, the convicted sex offender who just a few short years ago was a rising GOP star in Colorado, is being held on a $1 million bond in Larimer County.
Ankeney, 35, who was arrested Wednesday, is facing five counts of sexual assault on a child, three counts of sexual enticement of a child and one count of sexual exploitation of a child. The felonies, if he is convicted, could send him to prison for life.
The charges come less than 15 months after the former attorney, head of Gov. Bill Owens’ economic development office in Colorado Springs and graduate of the Republican Leadership Program, was released from prison after serving a two-year sentence for attempted sexual assault on a child.

The coroner in Knoxville, Tennessee was gunned down by 6 bullets, when TBI raided his house searching for evidence in a cop killing. Instead they found photos of him raping comotose boys. He invited them from UT hospital, said he was giving them a "vitamin injection", then had his way with them, taking photos of his naked victims. He was also a firearms instructor for KPD. Obviously, with that kind of dirt on him, police and prosecutors could tell him exactly what they wanted listed as "official cause of death". Dr Pedigo is still alive, and out on parole...

Let's not forget the dead intern FOUND ROTTING IN A GOP CONGRESSMAN'S OFFICE! What, you never heard about that? Why do you think Congressman Joe Scarborough resigned, and has his own TV show on MSNBC?

A Death in the Congressman's Office
Does Anybody in the Press Care About Lori Klausutis?
By Denis Wright and Chris George
August 8, 2001 (APJP)
Once upon a time, the phrase "investigative reporter" actually meant something. It usually involved hard work, possibly even mentation. Now, it seems, they just make stuff up. Especially on the Fox News Channel, where an uninitiated viewer could easily think she/he had tuned in Comedy Central. It's "Chandra-Chandra-Chandra" with the occasional "Condit is just like Clinton" thrown in. Given our media's 24/7 obsession with the Gary Condit "scandal", you might assume that there is a real dearth of hard news to pursue.
In reality, there is indeed a news story percolating out there. The story bears remarkable and ironic similarities to the Condit/Levy story. Both involve Congressmen, rumors of infidelity, and the fate of a younger female subordinate. The details are so similar as to remind one of two alternate universes. The difference between the two stories? First, in the Klausutis case as not in the Levy case, there is a real body, very dead. Second, the Klausutis case involves a Republican.Quote:
The Washington Post's NATION IN BRIEF column:
"FORT WALTON BEACH, FL. - Lori Klausutis, a 28-year-old office worker for Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-Fl), was found dead in the congressman's district office. Police said preliminary findings from the medical examiner's office showed no foul play or any outward indication of suicide."
Unbelievably, that was it. The story was simply dropped. A young female employee of one of Florida's Congressmen had died unexpectedly in the Congressman's office. There were no witnesses to her death and the cause of death was not apparent. Klausutis' boss, Joe Scarborough had recently resigned from Congress prematurely and unexpectedly, amid rumors about his marital fidelity and soon after a divorce. He had also abruptly resigned as publisher of the Independent Florida Sun, claiming that resigning from Congress and as publisher was necessary to spend more time with his sons.
Such circumstances make one pause. Sick to death of the clear bias of the corporate owned media, and suspicious of the odd nature of this death, we began to dig for answers. The more information we discovered, the more unlikely, and the more newsworthy the story became.
Here are the facts:
www.americanpolitics.com/20010808Klausutis.html
Chandra Levy was an Israeli Mossad agent used to infiltrate Congress and blackmail US politicians, just like Monica Lowenski. Was she killed by Mossad to blackmail Condit? It was obviously a professional wack job, carrying rotting bones all over DC - the District of Criminals, aka Dodge City. Was Klausutis working for Mossad?
And lest we forget:

The Strange Death Of The Woman Who Filed A Rape
Lawsuit Against Bush
Jackson Thoreau
opednews.com
3-7-2005
"She filed a lawsuit against the Sugar Land department and said that in preparing its defense, Sugar Land police found out that she dated Bush as a minor."
Early one Saturday afternoon in July 2003, I made a simple phone call to Margie Schoedinger, a Texas woman who filed a rape lawsuit against George W. Bush in December 2002. I expected to leave a message on a machine, so I was caught a little offguard when Schoedinger answered.
She, too, sounded somewhat surprised I had called, saying she hadn't heard from many other reporters. But she talked to me for a few minutes about the legal action.
"I am still trying to prosecute [the lawsuit]," said Schoedinger, a 38-year-old African-American woman who lived in the HNOTIFY: N | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

Sending a few suggestive e-mails to a teenager is not the same as being a pedophile. There is no evidence he had sexual relations with a minor. No evidence he had sexual relations with a Congressional Page. Such evidence may be forthcoming, but as yet it simply isn't there.
There is evidence that he had inappropriate e-mail exchanges with a Page. This is a rules violation and when discovered it was referred to the disciplinary committee, the head of the Page Program, and the FBI for criminal investigation. The FBI concluded that while inappropriate, the e-mails provided at the time were not illegal.
There is now evidence of additional instant messages that were sent to the Page from the Congressman. These IMs are sexually explicit and likely illegal. The FBI will review this NEW evidence and determine if Federal law was broken, if it was then he will be arrested, rehab or not. Why does the FBI need to review them when they are clearly sexually explicit? I'd say the most pressing concern for the FBI is the need to make sure they are authentic and to make sure they can prove where they came from. Without that sort of evidence, they cannot hope to sustain the case much less secure a conviction.
For example, I produce a series of 1999 e-mails from John Kerry to Osama Bin Laddin in which Senator Kerry plans and provides financial support for the 9/11 attack. Based upon such e-mails Kerry is arrested. Then at trial it is revealed those e-mails are obvious fakes and that a week or so of examination before making the arrest would have revealed them to be fake.
Is that time better spent now, making sure everything checks out, or later, at trial or perhaps after conviction? The answer for most in the media depends upon whether the accused has a (D) or (R) after there name.
