ALL of them. Why? Because there are "children" involved. Remember the thread here about the "LIVE BOY OR DEAD WOMAN? Well, it was a LIVE BOY! Everyone was okay with it when it was just theoretical, but now that it's become real - we're upset??? Huh? Look, I have believed all along that only something that involved our children would bring down this entire cabal. Either the draft, taking AWAY our gasoline(so we couldn't take the kids to all their endless activities), or a real, honest to goodness sex scandal. Face it, we Americans coddle our children(pleading guilty!); we dote on them, tell them how special they are, shower them with everything WE wanted as children, and devote countless hours driving them everywhere so they can work very hard at playing. And these bastards touched our babies - and hid it for POLITICAL GAIN! Their facade of morality is now laid bare for the villainous hypocrisy it is, and all they can do is anything but stand up and be honest and admit how badly they screwed up! It's Clinton's fault? - oh please! Monica was an ADULT - not a teenager who is too full of rampaging hormones to understand the consequences of acting on those impulses, but a fully grown adult is expected to KNOW BETTER. No, it's not pedophilia - it's molestation of a minor, and when our children are still minors - they belong to US - the parents.
What Mark Foley did was reprehensible, yet it may or may not have been a crime - we just don't have all the facts yet, but what the Republican leadership did was craven beyond belief, and the fact that they were willing to sacrifice our children to this predator - and continued to do so - is outraging every parent I've spoken to so far. Their "Morality" mask has been ripped away, and no self-respecting person can honestly defend them. What we should be praying for now is that these pages will not be further victimized by a salacious, sexually perverted, scandal mongering press and that they will be spared what they did to Monica. The only people for whom I have ANY sympathy(and I have a heartful!) for in this entire matter is those boys. And their parents. Period. As for the Republicans, I hope every single piece of putrid, fetid CRAP sticks to them until they drown it it. Better them than this Nation. Better them than our beloved Constitution. Goddess knows - they've earned it. Tonight, for the first time in six years, I have real hope in my heart that America has finally HAD IT with these evil pretenders, and is ready to change course - back to what we are supposed to be. Perhaps now, the long night is almost over, and we will crawl to the dawn, a nation humbled, yet not truly defeated. NOW, we can hope. HOPE.
Well, I'll close now - forgive me if I sound a tad...lunatic, but it's a full moon after all, and I am her child. In fact, I may just go howl back at her tonight - in thanksgiving! And, hey - to that psychic who said it would either be a live boy or a dead woman - you were right!
Peace. (it may have a chance now!) NB
