Pretty accurate illustration of the left's double-standard. Was this a Dem Congressman the Dem's would be claiming it never happened or downplaying it as overreaction from the right.
This guy could represent little green men from Mars and my opinion of him and what needs to be done with him would be the same.
FACT: Abusing the power/position of public office attempting to gain sexual favors is abusing the power/position of public office attempting to gain sexual favors.
The only difference here being that one is clearly unlawful conduct besides being morally reprehensible while the other is just morally reprehensible.
Forget the comparison's to Clinton, unless you're vying for the title of "most perverted American political party".
This situation's more comparable to Gerry Studds, back in '83.
Supposedly, there were emails, which were mild, only vaguely disturbing, and there were IM's that Foley thought no one could access. The latter's were the actual cyber-pedo porn, and just came to light (as in the GOP's leadership) late last week.
These rumors - both about Foley's homosexuality AND his penchant for teen-age boys - was rumored for years, but Foley benefitted from being a "gay" conservative Republican, nobody wanted to challenge him on this, it was anti-PC.
And there, my fellow board members, is the "bottom line" to the whole mess.
It was anti-PC, and in this case anti-gay.
Let the twisting, and spinning begin.
Bottom line, he wrote but didn't touch.
Then we have Clinton, who touched, cigared, lied, and now chastises.
How do you know he didn't touch?
Gee, Clinton touched a consenting adult? Wow, what horrors.
Clinton's error was a false statement about a personal relationship, and nothing more.
From what I have read, Foley is a pediphile.

Yet another republican is outed for liking sex with young boys. Jeez - you guys are almost as bad as Catholic priests!

That would be pedophile. No matter, that you didn't have correct spelling, you have the right of might on your side.

Adultery is STILL a crime in DC.
Perhaps "was". And while still on the books, the SCOTUS in "Lawrence v. Texas" invalidates laws regarding private relationships.

Alas, no spell check in Firefox - so missed it.
Funny how you come to rely on technology for things like catching insignificant errors. the "i" and the "o" are next to each other on the keyboard - been having issues typing since I got my new bifocals.

The law should have been overturned, so the 'law' wouldn't have done what was done.And its a horrendus decision for doing so. And trust me, its going to get overturned.
