More Foley bad deeds or not?

Recommended Posts

Hey the rePUBICans changed the landscape and took this country on a sharp right turn...LIVE with it.... the rest of us have had to.


YOU loved that part...all the psuedo-conservative crap....LIVE with it.

Now when your boys start abusing their power in thie new world you created.... you gotta live with it since YOU told us all you were making it a more moral.. trustworthy government..and then to have former congressman FOLEY... be in charge of programs designed to stop pedophilia.. its just sickening when he starts doing that he is supposed to be protecting our CHILDREN from.... and all you guys on the far right can do is dredge up shit from years ago to say look how bad THEY are and what THEY did....DOOOOOOOOODE...get real.

And again, your blind hatred of the current administration refuses to let you see the sheer hypocrisy of the dem's response....



But we can all see the hypocrisy of the GOP response to the Dems response to the GOP scandal.:D

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Man, when you have to dig back 23 years to try to draw a shaky parallel, the desperation is showing. Twenty three years ago, the party in question hadn't annointed themselves the Guardians of Virtue that the Republicans do now. That's what makes the story so compelling now when it wasn't then.




Forget trying to show them how lame it is to make hiostorical comparisons. In this political climate... with the far right claiming to be the moderates..it is impossible.

23 years ago there was a far different climate and social mores that was being touted as the norm..they are incapable of remembering those days... since they DO NOT WANT to remember those days....

For those of them that are old enough...they were the squares.... the ones who could not even get a date on Sat night.:S



You are correct. "23 years ago there was a far different climate and social mores that was being touted as the norm"

Back then, society was significantly less tolerant of sexual scandals... especially homosexual ones.

This present drama is fueled by selective, partisan outrage.

You're right. Not supporting a draft bill supporting another organzation's support of gays in certain positions is EXACTLY LIKE the leader of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children exploiting children.

Of course, by those standards, Hastert's failure to take action is EXACTLY LIKE the Taliban's allowing Bin Laden to base his attacks in their country. Exactly.

>Seems pretty... hypocritical to me...

Yep. That Hastert! As bad as the Taliban (using right wing reasoning at least.)

Ah, another strawman... just like the "it's only a blowjob" defense... and equally as false.

Funny, the pre-Foley news was about a Republican supposedly using a racial slur 20-some years ago... seems like the "historical comparisons" can only be done if it's a Republican...




If you're referring to George Allen, first of all, his "macaca" remark was a few weeks ago. As for his college chums coming forward now, they weren't recalling a single "remark"; they were recalling a pattern of speech and conduct he had that suggested blatantly racist attitudes back when he was less guarded about expressing himself in public. Is that still relevant to who and what he is today? – the voters of Virginia will decide.

Is plumbing the depths of a politician's life when he/she was a young adult +/– 30 years ago a fair thing to do? Well, both parties have been doing it to each other's presidential and vice presidential candidates since at least 1988. It's equal opportunity slime.
