Clinton's actions were sleazy, but at least they were with a consenting adult and not with a 16 year old.


The fallacy of your logic is that the age of consent in Washington, D.C. is....

16.

(Not that I condone Foley's actions. I don't).

gay? just a buzzword made up by queers to make thier lifestyle look "normal".

I suppose in your peabrain mind you now believe me to be a homophobe?

Quite the contrary, I am a satanphobe. I am afraid and hate what satane does to people in guiding them into the perversion of sodomy as a lifestyle.

If you find homosexuality to be just an alternative, then do you search for alternative metal objects to stick into electric sockets?

Mankind was designed for a monogamous mate of the complementary sex. Interestingly, when concentrations of people practicing homosexuality rise, so does the incidence of deadly plagues striking down the practitioners who violate the natural order. Without being to ominous we can assume it is merely a normal response of nature to dangerous behaviors.

The age of consent in DC is 16; the boys contacted by Foley appear to have all been over that age. I find Foley's phone sex with boys to be just as reprehensible as Clinton's use of girls. To his credit Foley never actually had sex with those boys. Prima Fascia evidence proved that Clinton's claim of the same was false. So in that way Foley is a better man than Clinton. He certainly displayed more honor by resigning than Clinton did by long term lying, obfuscation and obstructionism.

The members of Foley's party displayed more honor than the members of Clinton's party did.

Honorable discussion on the morality of this issue ends at the comma.

Comparing greater or lesser sleaze is rather silly doncha think?
