"Hastert inherited the problem. How does a homosexual having IM sex with aids compare to Gary Stubbs who actually had sex with 16 year old pages?" How do you know its just IM sex? It seems to me the Republican leaders in Congress are hysterical for a reason. Yeah, I remember you using lots of expressions like that. You argued a false position vehemently for months saying "Where there are accusations against Republicans they must be true." Or something like that. You position is predictable, Republicans always wrong, democrats always ok. How do you know the Soros orchestrated, carefully placed accusations are truthful? We have learned from his allies Gore and Moore that when a democrat makes accusation, they are generally trumped up. If Foley did what he is accused of then he is almost as bad as Clinton, and should have gone quickly and quietly. If he, like Stubbs and Clinton actually had sex, then I guess your democrat position is he should continue to serve for several additional years. I don't agree with that, but that would be the consistent position for you to take. "Pick a side, any side. Let's hear your complete points of view." It’s very simple I do not think it’s proper for a congressman to solicit sex with someone who works for them Like Clinton did with interns? Ok, you are being a hypocrite. Someone who is that age is not equipped to deal with that kind of approach. Like Clinton did with interns? Ok, you are being a hypocrite. pages he approached were saying that a congressman paying them that kind of attention was flattering even though they are straight. That's not surprising. Typically, these are kids thinking of going into politics... Like Clinton with interns and volunteers. At the same time, I feel sorry for Hastert. Clearly, he was not equipped to deal with such a problem. You must have felt sorry for Hillary. She sure moved from pitiful to vexatious litigant in no time flat. The truth is sexual predators exist at all levels of our society.....Republicans or Democrats, rich or poor, educated or uneducated....they run the gamut. All societies have them.....whether its this country or Japan or Saudi Arabia or Brazil or Austria. Yep, and you spent tens of thousands of word defending the most egregiously public of them, Clinton. BTW - did you notice that the age of consent in DC is 16, and that Foley's accuser says he was over 18 when approached? I guess they didn't fit with your theme, so they were easy to miss. If ... understood the problem better, he would have understood that ... predators are smooth talkers who tend to be sociopaths. So I could see Clinton acting all remorseful in front of ... and saying it will never happen again and then laughing all the way back to his office. That really shows off your hypocrisy.
