"Foley was eliminated by his own party as soon as they found out."

Not true. Hastert and others have known for at least a year. The FBI has been investigating since July. The Republicans were trying to persuade ABC to sit on the story until after the elections.

Yeah, real paragons of virtue those Republicans are...

...and BTW, Foley was eliminated by his own party as soon as they found out. Perverts and pedos, GOP or dems or not, let's get rid of those sickos.

Foley resigned only when the story hit the papers. Hastert did little to stop the guy. And now Foley's attorney is trying to spin it that he's an alcoholic and not a pedophile in the hopest that he might not serve jail time and may still have a political career. There is nothing honorable happening at the GOP over this issue. Its cover your ass time...that's all.
