The difference is that the Republicans washed their hands of Foley as soon as they figured out what was going on, whereas the Democrats' attitude toward Clinton is--well, we'll let Missouri Senate candidate Claire McCaskill, in an interview with Tim Russert on "Meet the Press," explain:

Russert: You're having Bill Clinton come in to raise money for you. Do you think Bill Clinton was a great president?

McCaskill: I do. I think--I have a lot of problems with some of his, his, his personal issues. I said at--

Russert: But do you--

McCaskill: I said at the time, "I think he's been a great leader, but I don't want my daughter near him."

What a ringing endorsement! And hey, say what you will about Mark Foley, at least you can trust him with your daughter!

So this is your answer ? Comparing someone who had normal sex with a mature woman to a pedophile who prowled government buildings for young boys.

This twisted logic is predictable and very sad.

**kerux** · 10-10-2006, 06:55 AM

Comparing someone who had normal sex

I thought Clinton said, "I did not have sex with that woman?"

So now were comparing degrees of immorality?

Clinton was married wasn't he?

The president of the United States was committing adultery with a young susceptable 21 year old intern in the Office of the President.

That's not as bad as Foley so it can be accepted?

They are all unqualified to lead, except when leading others who accept their sins because they are committing those sins themselves and therefore can not throw stones.

I never thought I'd see you put politics above personnel beliefs. For you to come out bashing homosexuality just makes me want to scratch my head.

the first big lie is that they 'washed their hands as soon as they figured out what was going on'. they've known for years, but he was a good fundraiser, so they tolerated him. when the really vile stuff started coming out within the last year, they still didn't oust him from congress because they didn't want to lose their majority.

why don't sk and boonie want to talk about the cover up?

and btw, lewinsky wasn't 16.

and since boonie seems to lie to go back to the eighties to talk about gerry studds let's be factual....at the same time, a republican was also having sex with a page and got exactly the same treatment as studds...a congressional censure.

one can only assume that you're beginning to unravel because this post makes absolutely no sense. where and when have i bashed homosexuality? i won't bother waiting for you to try and back up this blatant falsehood....because you can't.

IMHO this whole this with Foley is bigger than politics. The guy is either a paedophile or a homosexual.

Which one do you think he is ray ?

**raycarey** · 10-10-2006, 09:31 AM

is that how you think it works sk.....you get to make baseless claims, and when someone calls you on it you can pretend you never posted them?

admit you were being deliberately disingenuous in the post at the top of the page, and i'll answer your question.

**attaboy** · 10-10-2006, 09:35 AM

I dare ya to answer it anyway ray. Go for it.

Disingenuous is your forte ray. You would be the first to make this allegation if the shoe were on the other foot. Now, just answer the question. If you can't or won't then I'll understand.

**attaboy** · 10-10-2006, 10:03 AM

I just read the question.

What he is, is a sleeze who used a position of power for his own predatory titillation and gratification.

**kerux** · 10-10-2006, 10:09 AM

You talking about Clinton, Kennedy, Hasert or Foley?

Hell Lily ... you're surrounded by all sorts of sleeze bags in Thailand by this logic.

Not sure what your point is.

I just want to know why ray is on a witchhunt against homosexuals in the GOP.

**Storekeeper** · 10-10-2006, 10:39 AM

Come on ray ... let's talk about how this Foley case exposes your double standards.

Agreed. Go ahead and answer the question now.

**attaboy** · 10-10-2006, 11:04 AM

You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

**raycarey** · 10-10-2006, 11:04 AM

well, since sk is unable to take responsibility for his behavior, i guess we'll have to move on.

i look at this as kind of like house training a puppy...you don't give him a treat after he shits on the floor.

now, back to foley and the cover up....

A Republican member of Congress confronted then-Rep. Mark Foley about his Internet communications with teenagers as early as 2000, according to a newspaper report.

Report shifts timeline on Foley conduct - Politics - MSNBC.com

that's at least 5 years ago....and the republican leadership kept taking his money, and allowed him to work with exploited children.

**attaboy** · 10-10-2006, 11:08 AM

Concentrate.

**Storekeeper** · 10-10-2006, 11:19 AM

OK ray. I'll let you off the hook this time. You don't have to explain why it's OK to be gay if you're a left winger but it's not OK if you're a right winger.

This whole Foley thing is starting to barely even be mentioned in the news anyway. Probably because the left wing media has uncovered too many skeletons in the left wing closets to continue pushing this.

I don't think the Republican party minds at all if you want to be the self designated babysitter for this flake Foley anyway.

**barbaro** · 10-10-2006, 11:32 AM

^ There are a sizable number of gays in the GOP, and there are a large amount of gay voters.

As for the Evangelicals or Xtians, they are just another special interest group.

And the GOP NEEDS this interest group.

Yep, you're right. But this group will either vote Republican or not at all. They will not vote for the pro abortion party. They may be cuckoo for coco puffs but this is the bottom line.
