I guess one of the more upsetting reads I got from another thread was that the Democrats planted the e mails... Now, come on... Where is rationality ?

Surely not the first time they simply made stuff up to fit what they need to hear and believe. Winger partisanship at its finest.

I don't mind if people are hypocrites. Obviously it's not a fabulous thing to be, but if people want to spew Xtian values while they are having an affair with their neighbor, or having a homosexual affair, I'm not injured, and I don't really care. Hypocrisy, imo, is more painful to the person living the double life, than it is to me, merely observing it.

There are very few moral issues I care about, but protecting children is probably number one- right up there with stopping violent predators. I don't like violence, and I don't like sexual predators- and those issues are far more important to me than hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is something you can laugh about, sexual predation is not.

JMO, and the way I order things in my moral schema. If there are democrats out there doing this, they should be kicked out of the congress as well. This should not be a political issue- I understand it has to be, because the republicans are in deep shit right now, and this really hurts them, but it's too bad it's become political, because I really do think that democrats and republicans could agree on the issue of pedophiles. Despite what some people think, the democratic party is not in favor of supporting pedophiles.

Foley actually said today what I had predicted a few days ago: I did not have sexual relations with any of those boys. Does history repeat itself or what with slight modifications of the gender of the orifice? (sorry)
