Either you don't listen to Limbaugh, or you are getting some really lame talking points from Daily KOS. Or both. Limbaugh has from the beginning repeatedly condemned Foley's actions. So has Hannity, so has Boortz. It's disingenuous of you to say otherwise. The same goes for the GOP leadership. Foley's actions were condemned immediately - especially by Bush.
And so on down the line - the GOP have shunned Foley.

Soooo Limbaugh never said "this was with 1 page and the page was 18 yrs. old." OR "This isn't that big and the Dems are trying to make it some huge scandal."
Sorry, more than 1 page and they were 17..... and when someone does this to minors.... he should be punished.
And..... if it comes out that Hastert knew... which your news sources say he didn't the news I listen to says he did (Foley's COS says he warned Hastert some 3 years ago).... someone is lying. Then what will you do, how will you spin that?

And the witch hunt now for gay Republicans: (from the party, BTW, who is all about gays having their privacy and "coming out" when the individual chooses, and not outed by an outside entity. Yeah, nice)

Ohhhh really? sorry but the GOP chooses to act holier than thou, preaches "family values" and wants to use same sex marriage against the Dems.... What's wrong with outing them?
I truly believe the sexuality of a person should be private, but when you have lawmakers passing laws that won't allow even civil unions so that same sex couples can share insurances and rights that traditional married couples can share, and some of those lawmakers passing those bans are themselves gay... it's hypocritical and should be brought to light. Let the people decide what is important to them and let the people vote for who they want, but let them know who they are voting for.
If you choose life in the public whether politics (doesn't matter the party) or entertainment your life is under a microscope. Comes with the profession you chose.
If the GOP has something on a Dem. they will use it and have.
One reason the GOP wins is because they preach they are the party of morals..... perhaps that shroud needs to be pulled away and the truth that they are people, who make mistakes, share alternative lifestyles and so on, just like everyone else does needs to be seen and this country can stop passing laws on alternative lifestyles and religion and focus on more serious things like fixing education, the infrastructure, getting companies to stay here and not ship jobs overseas....etc.
