Oh no! Freepers have a solid defense against Foley!
Edited on Sun Oct-01-06 03:25 PM by Kablooie
We're doomed! How can we possibly overcome comments like these.

...

Republicans point out to Democrats they condoned, minimalized and covered up Clinton's Behavior.

His behavior is not all that different from Barney Frank, and nobody is doing anything about that.

Pornographic emails are so much worse than driving off a bridge, killing a woman and not reporting it for hours.

As disgusting as Foley's behavior is, as far as I know he didn't accost anyone in his office as Clinton did with Kathleen Willey.

When will a republican get up and respond "You are the party of Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, and Bill Clinton, to name just a few."

I accuse the democrats of knowing about Foley and saving it up for an election issue. Guess they don't care about children as much as they claim.

How about a thorough investigation of Patrick Kennedy's drunken binges? Or Jim McGreevy's gay encouners at rest stops along the Jersey Turnpike?

...

And there you have it. The Democrats are much worse so vote Republican!

2. find GOP quotes stating "consenting adults, but"...
They weren't (ostensibly)after Clinton for the sex, but for the alleged lies.

So many of them tried so make themselves look SO REASONBLE by stating that the sex was Clinton's personal business - up to him and his family how to deal with it...but he LIES! OH OH OH THE LIES!!!!!

Look for those kind of quotes.

try vote-smart.org

And search the Washington Post special coverage.

4. It's the hypocrisy that bothers me the most.
The way I look at it, everybody does something bad. I know I do! But I don't go around telling other people not to do bad things when I'm doing them myself, and I certainly don't get appointed committee chairmanships in order to feed my particular bad thing while condemning others as sickos.

If they would just shut the fuck up, they could have their little perversions and they wouldn't get caught.

(my particular bad thing is that I like to smoke marijuana.)

5. My they sure milk Chappaquiddick don't they? Frank had a consensual
Edited on Sun Oct-01-06 03:36 PM by gully
relationship with an ADULT, why does that fail them? The rest of the Frank scandal remains open to debate.

Clinton had a consensual relationship with an adult as well, Monica Lewinsky. Also, iF they plan to drag in "accusations" against Clinon, they should familiarize themselves with the name - "Margie Schoedinger."

13. Here's the wiki.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusations_of_rape_against_United_States_presidents

In 2002, Margie Schoedinger of Missouri City, Texas, a writer of Christian books, filed a pro se lawsuit against George W. Bush alleging that Bush had raped her in October 2000.<10>. The complaint also claims that she had been harassed, that she had been drugged and sexually assaulted numerous times by Bush and two other men purporting to be FBI agents, that her bank account had been interfered with, and that she had been threatened and beaten. There was no substantiating evidence for any of her claims. The suit also claimed Bush raped her husband, Christopher. Christopher allegedly served a year in prison after pleading "no contest" to assault charges against his wife. He later filed for divorce.

Many believed Schoedinger suffered from mental disorders. Among American newspapers, Schoedinger's ordeal was covered only by the local Fort Bend Star, whose editor is said to have off-handedly opined, "I had heard she was a nut case." <11>

Margie Schoedinger died of a gunshot wound to the head in 2003, nine months after filing the suit. The Harris County Medical Examiner's office has ruled the death a suicide.


I think this woman is delusional, personally, but the R's pursued Clinton on every rumor.

6. Bill and Monica's relationship was NOT criminal
Edited on Sun Oct-01-06 03:36 PM by rocknation
His lying to Congress about it was--AND HE WAS PUNISHED FOR IT.

Foley KNEW the pages were minors, and he COMMITTED a crime with his AIM messages if not his e-mails. The GOP leadership COMMITTED A CRIME if they COVERED IT UP and especially if they covered up in return for a political donation from Foley. THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR IT.

Whatever Kennedy or McGreevey did, they did it with CONSENTING ADULTS.

14. What about the dead children in Iraq? Do the Freepers give a damn?
How many tortured, raped, murdered, burned bodies of children add up to one blowjob in the minds of freepers?
