Gay Representative More Important to Republicans than Law

[cranston36]

Representative of Mark Foley from Florida has caused quite a stir, hasn’t he? The 6 year veteran of the United States House of Representatives had maneuvered himself into the position of chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus.
Not long ago he sponsored legislation to “protect” children from exploitation by adults over the Internet.
Shortly after Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzalez put the weight of protecting our children from exploitation back on parents when he said on April 20, 2006, “…if parents, community, business, civic, industry, and political leaders do not work better together, then we will lose this fight on behalf of our children.”
He added, ‘It may sound trite, but parents have to be the first line of defense.”
I have to agree with Alberto there, because when a US Representative starts dating little boys then a larger problem presents itself.

He is quoted as saying, “I am deeply sorry and I apologize for letting down my family and the people of Florida I have had the privilege to represent.”
Representative Foley of Florida reportedly is reported to have had these exchanges with little boys that parents send to Washington, DC to work as pages and messengers :
Representative Foley : “What ya wearing?”
Little Boy : “Tshirt and shorts.”
Representative Foley : “Love to slip them off of you.”

He was made one of the Republican party’s deputy whips by the now disgraced Tom DeLay, a one time pesticide salesman from Texas who was the Republican Leader in the House.

Mr. Foley was single and reportedly called his sister, Donna his “surrogate wife.”

According to news sources the sexually charged electronic messages and other contacts began in August 2005.

On September 29, 2006 Representative John Shimkus, Republican of Illinois and chairman of the House Page Board, admitted knowing about the first e-mail messages way back in “in late 2005.” Shimkus took the bold move of telling Foley not to contact that specific page any further. It seems John Shimkus is either naïve or worse. It seems clear to me the entire episode did not seem to upset him much.
Rep. Rodney Alexander, Republican from Louisiana who was apparently responsible for the page recently accosted electronically by Foley claimed he was directed by the little boy’s parents not to pursue the issue and that is why he did not seem to act in any responsible manner in regards to this serious issue.
For his part Representative Alexander passed the buck and said that, apparently even after promising the parents to drop the issue, he gave all the information he had about the issue to Representative Thomas Reynolds, Republican of New York who apparently did nothing himself apparently even though no one requested him to do nothing.

Hastert, also from Illinois, just as is Representative Shimkus (Chairman of the House Page Board) said "We want to make sure that all our pages are safe and the page system is safe."

Among other quotes attributed to Foley :
"Do I make you a little horny?"
"You in your boxers, too? ... Well, strip down and get relaxed."

He also asked the boy to send a photo of himself.

"…he's such a nice guy…acts much older than his age...and he’s in really great shape...i am just finished riding my bike on a 25 mile journey now heading to the gym ... What’s school like for you this year?"
"I am back in Florida now...its nice here ... been raining today ... it sounds like you will have some fun over the next few weeks ... how old are you now?"

"…how are you weathering the hurricane ... are you safe ... send me an email pic of you as well."

Seemingly following in Florida Foley’s Freaky Footsteps Speaker Dennis Hastert sent out a press release on August 29, 2006 entitled, “Hastert Drives Effort To 'Keep Kids Safe In Cyberspace' Congressman leads community meeting addressing Internet safety”
Parents take note : Another Representative is stepping up to the plate in an open bid to ‘protect’ their children.

one more example of homosexuals' sex-addiction ruining lives.

 

[cranston36]

How about an example of power hungry perverts and lying individuals who will do and say anything to get their way?

So much for the moral majority.

Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert of Illinois, Chairman of the House Page Board Representative John Shimkus, also of Illinois, and Representative Alexander of Louisiana seemed to be covering up for Foley and one wonders why - did they want a piece of the action or were they just worried about losing one seat in the house? How often and how long have they lied, obstructed and enabled a corruptive, perverted influence to run rampant through the halls of Congress?

The guy seems to be GAY...not just a hetero perv - a homosexual (which is perverted). By his homosexuality we're shown he has trouble controlling his sexual impulses, urges.

I still don't get why you're using this to attack Republicans. I also wonder why Homosexual Rights groups aren't rushing to his aide.

Here is the answer:

What the heck are you talking about? The man was exposed and Republicans arent defending the man. Contrast that with our Former President who no matter how many scandals the man was in Democrats wouldnt stop defending the perv.

What this tells me is that sicko has more integrity than the former president. He didnt try to justify himself when exposed. and its sad that a sick perv is more honest than a former President.

Well, you know if he wanted to marry the kid, the ACLU and dems would run to his defense. !

.

You dont mention this "little boy's" age. Hint, "one has to be much older than a "little boy" to hold the posistion of page for a senator.

Hey guy .... don't throw stones.. at least this guy resigned.

Democrat Congressman Barney Frank was involved with a guy who was running a prostitution ring using underaged school boys out of Frank's townhouse! Barney Frank claimed that he had no knowledge of what was going on..... Did he resign??????

The last I heard, Barney Frank is still in Congress. The media gave him a pass because he's a Democrat.

At least in Republican circles, if you're caught, or give the appearance of having done something wrong, you resign...

1. Nixon resigned, Clinton didn't. Nixon was not impeached, Clinton was
2. DeLay resigned, he wasn't convicted of anything, but resigned since he was under investigations
3. Now Tom Foley is going to resign.

Where've you been Cranston? Picking the "shrooms for your tea? Last I checked, Foley is gone.

But Franks isn't, and Studds is only because he retired.

What was perverted about what Clinton did? He had an extramarital affair. If that's a perversion 80% of the people in this country are perverts. You sound like Bat Guano in Dr. Strangelove, "deviated prevert!"

You don't think the cigar thing a bit over the top?

Here are the perversions

1. LYING UNDER OATH
2. OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
3. SUBORNATION OF PERJURY

While being the Chief Executive of the United States of America

As a cigar smoker myself I found that amusing. I've never done it but I don't think it's "perverted". Perverted would be something like inserting a gerbil into his or Monica's butt.

I guess you might have point, in a relative way.

 

[KarlMarx]

Perverted would be something like inserting a gerbil into his or Monica's butt.

A live gerbil or a dead one?

This reminds me of a joke I heard as a boy

Three recently arrested sex offenders are waiting to have their finger prints taken. One asks the other what he's in for

"I was caught having sex with a corpse, what are you in for?"

"I was caught having sex with a kid"

the two then ask the third, what he's being charged with

"I was caught having sex with a farmer's pig"

The other two ask, "was it a male or female pig?"

Indignant, the third one snaps... "a female pig, of course! What do you think I am? A queer or something?!?!?"

It's good that we haven't lost our sense of humor.

So much for the moral majority.

The "moral majority" does NOT mean only elected officials. "I" am the moral majority, and I'm just a common citizen.

Because he's a Republican.
