Republican Pedophilia---
How pathetic, Rep. Foley can only say, "Well I'm a drunk gay who was molested by a clergyman" over his relations with pages. Seriously folks homosexuals who were molested don't suddenly turn into pedophiles when they drink do they? NO. Also you have a serious problem even using this excuse because if you know you turn into "Pedo-man" when you drink then don't drink. What I find even more pathetic is the republican response to his actions, basically nothing. The republicans could have easily saved face in the begining by saying "How dare him, we will make sure he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." We all know that won't happen, he will go through Alcohol Rehab, go to AA meetings and probably get a suspended sentence if he even is convicted. Of course I don't know all the details so it may be possible he can't be prosecuted, just as a man who engages in cybersex with a 12 year old girl can't be prosecuted in some juristictions because he didn't really touch her and who knows she could just be role playing that she is 12. Of course Foley KNEW these pages, he knew they were teenagers not of legal age and he had ready and easy access to them. I'm just curious what is the republican stance on pedophilia now? I mean they don't come out saying "what a terrible man" you don't see Bush making a huge public statement about it, or anyone else for that matter. Hell Foley doesn't even have the guts to talk to the public about it...no he just has his lawyer read statements for him. So other than being a disgusting pedophile he is a pussy! We all know he isn't really "gay", most sex offenders are outwardly heterosexual and even view themselves as heterosexuals because they don't "have sex" with men they just molest, rape, fondle and engage in cyberrape with young people. I could understand and would even stand up for Foley if he had sex with a 16 year old who lied and told Foley he was 18 who Foley did not know from the page class and later said "Rep Foley raped me," because this happens all the time. At that point him saying he was drunk and gay might have worked out as an ok excuse, because people make that mistake all the time. The problem, in my mind, is that he knew already that these pages had not reached the age of consent.
Now because the republican party did not act fast enough and did not act strong enough they are making Pedophilia their policy. Which is good, for the democrats, who can hopefully regain some power in the government in the comeing election. I seriously hope this wakes America up as to how corrupt the Right has been.
