Dude! WTF? Why did you resign? There was a much simpler solution for your problems and you could have remained in Congress. All you had to do was switch parties. Then the Dims would rally around you and claim that "it was all about sex". It was a private matter between consenting adults." After all, in Washington DC the age of consent is 16. It's not like you were getting blowjobs by a fat intern in your office or anything like that.
Just remember, if you are a Dimocrat, you can get away with murder. Just ask Ted Swimmer Kennedy. You can be a racist. Just ask Robert KKK Byrd. They're going after George Allen for alledgedly using "nigger" 30 years ago. Byrd used it on national television two years ago and I didn't hear any howls of outrage. Swimmer and Kleagle are respected leaders of the Dimocrat party. Elder statesmen.
It's not like you boinked the pages like Gerry Studds did. And after that the good citizens of Taxachusetts relected him to Congress 5 more times. I guess it's even better to be a Dimocrat if you live in that state. Murder, boinking pages, and letting your gay lover run a bisexual prostitution ring out of your apartment. It hasn't hurt Barney Frank a bit. He keeps getting re-elected.
So there were some salacious Instant Messages between you and some pages. After you get out of rehab, switch parties. If all else fails, move to Taxachusetts. You could get back into Congress and probably be appointed to a leadership position.
Republicans are expected to have ethics. Dimocrats are expected to be crooked rat bastard traitorous commies. Republicans resign. Dimocrats stay and fight.
You're welcome for the advice.

Geez!
I'm absolutely disgusted Foley jeopardized his career and the career of his peers because his dick needed tickling with thoughts of a young kid. Internet sex...please!!
Actually Mark while running for office was accused by his opponent as not being a true Republican & in response made a promise to the voter`s to remain in the Republican Party for as long as he served the people.
Rather then to go back on his word, he became a closet dimocrat & homosexual which he felt would have him in the good graces of the dimocrats when they took control. Hell, might even have got a leadership position or at least been placed in charge of the Page`s.
So there, it was just politic`s as usual. Quit picking on the guy.....Even Barney Frank was appalled by the whole thing , he offered to stand behind Mark to aid & comfort him through this ordeal.

...that statement makes me want to pick on him more! You are joking, aren't you?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Vicki,
Men can keep it in their pants, but boys can't.
Posted by: Squidley on October 4, 2006 12:30 PMLet's remember where Gerry Studds and Barney Frank were elected from: Moscowchusettes! After the Censure from the House, Studds actually got re-elected with more votes than before. Not a surprise to anyone familar with the New England area, given his district had Provincetown (The Fag Capitol of the six New England states).
Posted by: Darrell on October 4, 2006 12:34 PMA couple of observations:
First, Denny's right, but there's something more insidious going on. What is Mark Foley getting condemned for: having sex with boys, or abusing the unequal power relationship?
Also, has anyone else noticed that most victims of child molestation are boys? Some estimates put boy victims at as high as 80% of the total. What is this connection between homosexuality and child abuse? Child abusers often self-identify as heterosexual, but their behavior says otherwise. After all, the victims of priest abuse are overwhelmingly boys. There's a NAMBLA* (North American Man-Boy Love Association), but no NAMGLA. John Wayne Gacy was a boy-molesting mass murderer. The examples go on, and most of them involve boys as victims of this heinous crime.
Question: has the public acceptance of homosexuality made it easier for certain kinds of sickos to prey on boys?
Just some thoughts.
*It sickens me just to think of this vile and repulsive group.
Posted by: Squidley on October 4, 2006 12:39 PMIf you notice the 3 major headlines for the news this week, all have a larger, underlining theme. That theme is sex.
The Colorado school hostage/killing, Rep. Foley and the Omish massacre. (even Columbine involved “ social rejection.”)
I have been waiting for the usual anti-gunners to show up but so far that has not occurred.
Americans have been living through years of a very serious social experiment.
That is, what would a society be like if the members of that society of all ages where exposed to and inundated with sexual messages constantly everywhere they went?
I believe that we are starting to see the results of that experiment.
People who no longer restrain certain thoughts to action because they believe, rightly or wrongly, that these thoughts are relatively mainstream. They have lost the demarcation point between thinking “evil” thoughts and acting on them.
When everywhere you turn there are ads selling products when the subliminal message is sex, the society is bombarded with the “rights” of gay people, TV. shows and movies glorify the gay lifestyle, plots of most if not all TV. directed at teenagers are based upon relationships and will it result in “scoring,” i.e., getting laid, then you have a social conditioning that will propagandize the product or “warp” the thinking as to what is socially acceptable.
Just the fact that there is so much “sexual engineering” going on people are continually “reminded” of or “programmed” towards sexual thought.
It may be one thing to argue that much of this “exploitation of sex” can be handled by adults, etc., however, a child from age 2 on is being treated to saturation of a reality that serves only to propagandize a specific point of view. There is no longer an “allowed” ability to differentiate because there is no opposing view.
So far, the results of that experiment appear to be less than promising.
There may be no sex in violence, but there certainly can be violence in sex.
The answer to most of the issues involving making schools safer, involve making the society safer. Children are being robbed of the few years of innocence that they do have. If some one where to actually recognize this problem and put together statistics, guaranteed they would find a direct correlation between the rise in exposure to sexually oriented themes and attitudes to a rise in sexual predators.
Where I live there is a website where you can go and find the “convicted” sexual predators living in your area (Ft. Lauderdale). When I went to the sight I was so shocked by the number living around me that I actually gave up the child custody rights I have for my 12 year old daughter (raised her as a single parent from the time she was 4) and had her to go live with her Mother in a "safer", backwoods community in Texas (she does not like it and begs me to let her come back to live with me, which breaks my heart every time).
You wonder why so many people in this country feel the government is going in the wrong direction.
Our freedoms have become our shackles. We can not even see beyond it because brainwashing is just that.
Vicki......
Barney Frank will stand behind Mark Foley....Think about it for a minute, Get it?
If you don`t ...ask Denny

He prefers to bend over the pages!!!
Willie - Daniel Patrick Moynihan described it as defining deviancy downward. Just remember that the Clintonoids told us that oral sex wasn't really sex. Had Clinton been president back in the 60's and been caught he would have been forced to resign. Of course, the press would have covered up for him like they did with Johnson and Kennedy so he probably wouldn't have been caught. At least Kennedy had better standards. He was nailing Marilyn Monroe. Clinton was getting his knob waxed by a fat intern.
