"Why do you still harbor hope of integrity in these guys? " I don't. But this is political suicide, something they tend to avoid unless it is at the behest of Bush.

What I can't believe is that Hastart, knowing this, allowed Foley to stay on that committee for children. Why do you still harbor hope of integrity in these guys? For me, its surprising not because I "harbor hope of integrity in these guys" but because their corruption apparently is consistent throughout the party. Usually when you find corruption, its in a particular sub group within a larger group context. This corruption is pretty evenly distributed throughout the GOP. Its as if a group of sociopaths decided to form a political party. And its not even the perversion of Foley that upsets me most; after all, its a psychological condition that needs to be addressed but the fact that no one censored him in a meaningful way but instead chose to ignore it. That's what is astounding to me. And now they don't want to investigate what went wrong....just accept it and move on. These people are the truest form of sociopaths I have after seen in action. Very disturbing.......very repugnant.
