>>" Yeah, yeah, I know, the only thing that makes you wet your pants more than a juicy sex scandal is payback for the mean things that happened, without reason, to your beloved Bill Clinton. Nope, his finger pointing, lying TV stuff was a major turn off and could never understand how such a brilliant man could mess up like that when he knew the right wing crazies were after him. But I dislike very much what was going on during those two years when our country needed his intelligence the most. But you have the Repugs impeaching someone for lying about adultery and being led by outspoken hypocrite after hypocrite, e.g. Foley, ranting from the steps of their churches and always talking about the sanctity of life etc and then supporting this incompetent president as he so foolishly reigns death and destruction on Iraq to get his family revenge, while creating a much more unsafe world and draining our country's wealth, power and prestige; and silly twits such as you just keep drinking the koolaid.

Party Before Predators: Why Didn't GOP Leaders Stop Foley? By Cenk Uygur, HuffingtonPost.com. Posted October 1, 2006. In a scandal that will likely take down the entire House Republican leadership, everyone is wondering why Rep. Mark Foley, Chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus was allowed to carry on his predatory behavior with a teenage boy a year after his relationship was revealed to party leaders. Watch a video of Rep. Foley giving an interview on child predators, in which he states "If I were one of these sickos, I’d be nervous with America’s Most Wanted on my trail." Is there anything these Republicans won't cover up?Duke Cunningham took millions of dollars in bribes. The people who were buying him off bought him a yacht called the Duke-Stir. He had a bribe menu on Congressional letter head. How many ethics investigations? Zero. Zilch. Nada. Bob Ney took gifts and favors from Jack Abramoff. He has confessed and is about to go to prison. How many ethics investigations? Zero. None. Not one. Then there is Hastert's shady land deal. Bill Frist's insider trading. Tom DeLay's money laundering. The list goes on and on. Every one of them had their ass covered by the rest of their Republican colleagues, crooks, whatever you want to call them. When Joel Hefley, a conservative Republican from Colorado, had the temerity to actually do an ethics investigation of Tom DeLay -- he was removed. Can't have it. You can't have any ethics investigations in a place with no ethics. The house will fall in. Well, now it has. Because they've gone too far. This time they covered for a sexual predator. Mark Foley, Republican of Florida, was caught sending very explicit sexual messages to 16 and 17 year old boys who worked as pages for Congress. Actually, he was caught by a fellow Republican, Rodney Alexander, because one of the pages worked for Rep. Alexander and turned Foley in. So, what did the Republicans do about it? Absolutely nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada. They covered it up. Because it's what they do...." alternet.org ------------------- Republicans: truly and deeply sick.
