I just listened to a Radio Rebuttal that Congressman Hastert delivered today. He said he has asked for a full and complete investigation, and then went on further to say, that ANYONE who had access to any of the information on Foley's actions for even ONE DAY put a child at risk. HELLO, by his own words, he CONVICTS HIMSELF. That we know of, the following Republicans who have known about this pedophile in their ranks should step down....they all dropped the ball, left a predator out there preying on United States Congressional Pages, all of which are CHILDREN.
Dennis Hastert
Tom Reynolds
Alexander from La.
Shimkus...Republican in charge of the page program.
All four of these Republicans knew about this since at least last November or December. They could have, and should have taken SERIOUS STEPS THEN, rather than trying to sweep it all under the carpet. Further, it came out tonight that Foley's handlers offered ABC an exclusive on his resignation if they DID NOT AIR the instant messages.
For good measure, we should get rid of Sue Kelly.

Secondly, a CLASSIC RED FLAG for a predator is asking an underaged child to send them their picture. Then, we have Foley asking one of them to go out for ice cream, offering to get them presents. You ERR on the side of SAFETY when it comes to our children, and these Republicans did not do that, and it speaks volumes about the supposed family values of some of you who are DEFENDING these men.
You keep blithering this same old message, {"The democrats, however, have known about this for months and are just releasing it now."}, but you never say what you base this information on. For if it is actual reality and you had a scrap of evidence, I'm sure you could make a sweet piece o' change by providing this information to a reputable news agency. And just think, you could shut all us non-Reich-wingers up... for a while. Or is this just more gobble-de-gook you've been fed from your heroes "What A Rush" Limpballs or Bill O'Really? Me thinks that is the case.
And Janet:
Come on. All you have to ask yourself is, "Would I accept this as legal if it were my 16 year old?" For I'll give you my answer, Foley would beg me to go to jail before I got done with him. But then again it would have to be "before", as there would be no after. And as you may have missed the point, the gist of this article is about the cover-up to save ones ass in an election.
Ya just gotta love these "value" folks.
