HOW LOW CAN THEY GO? TO the bottom of the barrel. Those people in the Republican party that knew of Foleys attempt to seduce a 16 year young child are the bottom of the barrel. Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council invoked the "Gay Bashing" "Homophobic" labels to create a reason why there was no response comming from the Republican Party. Tony Snow called it "Simply Naughty E-Mail" Naughty e-mail? A 52 year old man sending "naughty" e-mail to a child and Snow dismisses it with that comment! The Republican party theme has been "You can't trust the Democratic Party" Who do you trust now? Dennis Hasters knew of the incidents for years and said nothing. Sen Alexander (R La), Rep Simkees (R Ill) all knew of the e-mails and told Foley to stay away from the Pages but did not tell anyone. Majority Leader Boekner (R Oh) and Rep Reynolds Chairman of the National Republican Party both said that he heard it from Alexander. Alexander does not recall the conversation. All of these people did nothing not because of the "Labels that they feard may have pined on them but because Republicans do not like gays period. The reasons they ignored this incident? They do not want to lose that seat and they are in fear for their political lives if they were to go up against their own fascist dictatorship in the White House. I thought that we were all aware of the fact that any person knowing a person has committed a crime and does not speak out is abetting. Republicans would have you read the Drudge Report and believe that Foley was the victim and these kids were the beasts only truth in that is. "They were kids" Foley claims that he was drunk when he wrote these e-mails but not drunk enough 1 hour later to vote for an issue on the floor or maybe he (Foley) has always been drunk. He claims that he was seduced by a clergyman. He claims that he is not a pedophile. He might as well say that God told him to do it in a dream, or it wasn't him but someone else who used his computer and his e-mail address. And it probably was a Democrat playing cheap political tricks to discredit the Republican party before an election. Everyone (Republican or Democrat) who were aware of what was going on and said nothing should be prosecuted. They allowed this person to stalk our children and that is a crime. And that's what I see FROM MY SIDE OF THE ROOM. Charlie
