One of the saddest parts is listening to the GOP talking heads cover this up.

Take Limbaugh for instance, how he keeps claiming it was just one page, how "there was no true sex involved", how it was with 1 18 yr old page, and blah blah blah.

I'm sure Pat (I am God's voice) Robertson and his 700 Club "news" have voiced defenses for Foley also.

These hypocritical GOP people and Religious Rights seem to put their morals and their condemnations aside.

Sooooo getting a blow job in the Oval Office is a disgrace and worthy of impeachment but harrassing numerous underage pages is ok? And Hastert's lieing and the GOP elected officials that knew and covered it all up is ok, and acceptable?

I see.

And yet, the Dems are the "evil, non moralistic" party.

What I truly would like to see: A highranking GOP elected official come out and say, "Foley is not representative of this party, we all have bad apples in our families and workplaces and I assure you, I will not look at party but at who knew what and who did what and I will make sure the people involved will be punished to the fullest extent."

IF I saw a GOP elected official say that, he would have my respect and I would vote for him if I had the oppurtunity.

I would expect the same from the Dem. leadership. Stand up take your lumps, admit to the bad apple, investigate, prosecute, do whatever is necessary and be forthright and non partisan about it.

One of the reasons things don't change in DC and seem to get worse is because we allow situations like this to continue and just look at party lines.

If we held our leaders to the "high standards" that Robertson, Limbaugh and GOP talking heads expect usand tell us we need to do from Dems. but whitewash and give GOP'ers passes and excuses . Perhaps this country would be stronger and we would get better leadership.

I don't care what party a bad apple is from, do the work, don't make excuses and get rid of him. But set the standards and expectations the same for both parties not just the one opposite you, while you can make excuses and try to shift and pass blame, or bring up things from 25 years ago and point fingers. It shows nothing but your hypocrasy and that you truly don't give a damn about the nation but about the power your party yields.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
